I just see memes as an extension of language. When we read English, we can sound out the words if we want, but we really just recognize the words as a whole and understand their meaning. Kind of like a kanji or a glyph. I think of memes as really powerful evolutions of this. People can communicate really complicated or nuanced emotions very simply and clearly with a meme. It’s like a kanji using actual art and imagery rather than strokes. Not saying we’ll be communicating strictly through memes or anything, just that it’s a way we are communicating, and you can’t really control the way people talk.
I remember using something called ourtunes back in college that just let everyone in the dorm freely access and download each others iTunes libraries on the dorm network.
Just stop shooting at the N Koreans. Take them off the field and start feeding them. The dear leader will be taking them back off the battlefield in no time.
XII was one of the first mainline games I played through, and I really got into it. After playing most of the rest, I get why it doesn’t come off as a “proper” FF game. That said, I always wanted more just like it. Perhaps a spinoff, or maybe ivalice alliance could be reinstated as a more tactics-focused FF franchise while the main line goes on doing… whatever it did for XVI.
Tactics was actually my first introduction to FF as a whole. I was intimidated by the numbers attached to the titles of all the other ones, so tactics seemed like a good place to start. I still love the music and the atmosphere of Ivalice, and I feel like so much is left unsaid about that realm.
If the kid is below 21, what is such a circumstance defined as?
If a kid calls his teacher a bitch and get sent to the principal, is that censorship?
If nobody plays defense, they blindly assume they’re right about everything. That’s about it. Like children without an adult to tell them off when they act fussy over nothing.
Petition to call him “diddler” combs?
People will probably think Mario was some kind of god from one of many bizarre pantheons. We worshipped him on our TV sets and movie theaters.
I’m inclined to think some corporate entity is somehow tied to this based on nothing but my gut.
Colloquially, the phrase beg the question also has a separate sense as a synonym for “raise the question” or “prompt the question”.
Well there it is.
That said, I’m glad you shared this as I hadn’t ever thought of it before.
Are they offering big money? Nintendo loves that more than people.
Didn’t you hear? Any city with a Democrat for a mayor is automatically a “hell hole”.
Don’t they do it too? (I don’t know because I don’t have a PC)
“Ah, see-through masks are okay though.”
They don’t even have to try to start bombing places, it seems.
And then masks become illegal.
More like using as few words as possible while relying on the scene for the context.
If I tell you:
It sounds pretty normal. Am I happy? Sad? Apathetic? Communicating without expressions or gestures often leads to misunderstanding. Have you ever got into an argument with someone online because they misunderstood the intent of something you said? Maybe you forgot your sarcasm marker? Well, if I had opted to send you

Now I won’t agree or disagree either way whether it’s a cancer, I don’t really care. It’s just another way I observe people communicating. I’ve heard people tell me the way African Americans speak is "destroying the language.” It’s not. It’s just a dialect that manifested where a void was left to be filled. Memes do something the regular alphabet does not.
Unrelated, but look at gen alpha slang. Kids too young to know correct English learn their words through games and memes, often outside of direct parental supervision. So if they need to express something more abstract, they do so using words that seem close enough and sound nice, referencing ideas that others in their circle can quickly and easily comprehend. Suddenly some popular tiktokker uses it and then that word is codified in the vernacular. Most of it will fade away as they get older, but some of it might stick around and get absorbed into the greater language.
