I’m seeing lots of reports on this for rule #2, and while I think this sort of commentary is obviously the basis of a lot of political bickering, I’m not sure if the framing in the meme itself is wholly political.

I might be way off base making a judgement call here, but I’m going to leave this one be.

Well that’s much better

I did some googling and found this. Not sure if it’s the most common name for it or not, because I’ve never heard it:

Please add NSFW tag

They’re angry and sent me a DM suggesting I was either paid $7000 and/or am a nazi if I saw anything to do with politics in this meme. You be the judge.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

Or

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

Just did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.

Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15

I honestly have no idea where this originated, but it looks like it’s been everywhere, has t-shirts and posters, etc.

I’m not a judge, but isn’t internet essentially a utility these days? Cutting someone off because of piracy seems like cutting off electricity or water because they did something illegal with it.

As is tradition, of course.

Thanks. I was on the fence about it, but I received so many reports that I figure enough people must consider it NSFW.

Would you mark it NSFW please?

But, what I’m curious about… how is this a “shoes on” occasion?

Work dress code.

His customers lamented that driving was so boring and they wished there was some magical way for the cars to play music.

Oh well. Nothing to be done there.

Sometimes I forget how long it’s been!

High speed rail would make such a difference. If you tried to make the same trip as pictured with Amtrak, you’d probably be looking at double the travel time at least.

I absolutely would suspect AI

It is. He’s upset about the spending bill and the national debt and seems to be going scorched earth on Trump and Congress because of it.

The moment I see myself in an ad, I’m giving up on technology and joining the Amish.

Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it’s war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can’t bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.
