Gotta give people their Two Minutes Hate or they might remember that voting for Democrats is, for most Americans, the actual least evil option on November 5.

It's amazing how close they get to making good points before veering off into "Dems bad, do ."
This meme really doesn't fit the format. Given the standard form of the meme, you're implying that Israel are the reasonable, relatable ones here, that the warrants are unreasonable, and that someone other than the ICC has actually announced warrants.
Because I didn't think it particularly important for countering this same old tired BS. But if you really want to know, it's Ann Arbor, MI and the mayor was Albert Wheeler.
(Edit and fun fact: I'm writing this from Wheeler Park right now ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)
My city had ranked choice voting implemented by Democrats in the 1970s. They elected the first black mayor, who is still one of our most beloved mayors in the city's history, under RCV.
Then Republicans made it illegal at a state level when they had a trifecta. Democrats keep introducing bills at the state level to allow RCV, and Republicans take more and more drastic action against it. So yeah... I want more Democrats in my state government so we can have RCV.
It's ironic that about 50% of the phone OS stuff (that isn't actual technical discussion) I see is iPhone users complaining about Android users saying iOS sucks. 40% is iPhone users saying Android sucks, and 10% is Android users saying iOS sucks.
The absolute worst is the idiotic "let's make all app icons the same shape" thing.
For me in particular I'm a software developer who works on developer tools, so I have a lot of tests running in VMs so I can test on different operating systems. I just finished running a test suite that used up over 50 gigs of RAM for a dozen VMs.
That's the idea of those "which pictures contain bikes?" ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They'll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.
My Linux machine has 64 GiB of RAM, which is like 128 GiB of Mac RAM. It's still not enough
Already ahead of you on that as an active member of my state's ranked choice voting initiative.

Apple is (rightfully IMO) far more notorious for taking something that's been around for years already, adding it to their product line (or as a feature in a product), and then pretending they invented it. Almost every company will copy features/products from other companies, but they don't usually pretend to have invented the whole thing.
Example: Gmail. It was revolutionary, but not because Google really invented much (or indeed claimed to). Rather, it was revolutionary because it provided features that already existed in paid options (e.g. full IMAP support, large mailbox sizes) for free, with a good web interface.
