I had a conversation recently where someone said they weren't serious after several levels of comments that were downvoted into oblivion. I try to make myself understood in the second (or third) level of comments or, as in this case, in an edit

I guess I once again forgot the "/s". I'm not going to call me "Poe" at any point of time /s

Is that just a terrible translation or a metaphor non Chinese people don't get or something in between?

Why do I keep getting this comment? Maybe I should call myself Poe in the future

POV: The second one is just wrong and you all know which one I mean

I once had 2 interviews for jobs with different skill sets and the same HR person was there. It felt weird to be passionate about both

I heard a newspaper opinion piece in the radio here in German that clearly didn't know the difference between genocide and holocaust. I mean, c'mon, read a book before you publish a newspaper!

Reddit is beyond help, OP is police officer

To understand recursion you first need to understand recursion

I find myself disagreeing with both sides. OP is gatekeeping what a meme is and you have a very out of date definition and not even the guy who came up with the term.

As a true descriptivist, I think a meme is what people call a meme. If it's posted and upvoted in a meme community, it is a meme. Let the language community decide on that. Later, you can analyze how the meme culture and the definition of meme has shifted.

But of cause, everyone is entitled to an opinion what a meme should define and make memes about it. Just don't frame it as if you are right and everyone else is wrong.
