What is a meme?

[Yuma]

I guess I don't know what a meme is. I cut and paste a snippet from an article, or a headline from an online news media source and that's a meme? Meanwhile I go to the meme threads and it is stuff that is made up. I am posting factual quotes, not made up media. Sometimes the quotes are literally what someone is quoted as saying and it is not factually disputed. It's just I posted it in the form of a picture instead of typing it all out because sometimes it is long. Some sites won't let you cut and paste from the articles.

I am typing challenged. So to me this is more of an ADA access thing to me. I also, just on this site only, have some spell check thing, that when I type it changes all my words. So cutting and pasting information is such a time saver. Everyone here has seen how my typing has typos that are challenging to the meaning of what I am trying to say. I know you guys say there's no spell check here. Literally I go to other boards and have no problem. I can also use programs without this difficulty also. For some reason this is the only site that there is a spell check that seemingly operates AFTER I hit the Post button. If you look at almost ALL of my posts they have to be edited.

If what you copy has a picture in it that is sensationary in nature, that is best to be put in the meme thread. The "spell check" that you are talking about is Mods deleting your pictures after seeing them. And this has only happened twice. The first one I ACTUALLY TYPED OUT WHAT THE SNIPPET SAID FOR YOU, but the picture of some asshat yelling and screaming was removed. And yesterday, your typed words were fine, but the accompanying picture of a person looking like who knows what was removed.

So in short, in P&R don't post sensationalism pictures in the threads. If you go and look at each thread there, you'll see that they are not cluttered up with pictures. Yes, there are twitter, threads, and bluesky links, but there ARE NO PICTURES IN THE THREADS EXCEPT FOR THE CARTOON AND MEME THREADS.

If you want me to spell it out further, let me know.
