dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Surely this is an art piece

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, there is no way that any church is actually this active in giving back to the community lol

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My sous chef's church does a lot but they're unitarians. Or universalists or something, i don't know, she told me the difference but i was like oh cool and forgot

Unitarian Universalists are like the exception to the rule lol

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah i think she told me theres a difference but then they merged into the Unitarian universalists

Yeah i think that's the only church i'd ever go to. Ive kinda thought about trying to trick my parents because my dad's on this born again Christian bullshit, so i've thought about being like "yeah i'll go to church with you- if we go to THIS church" and then we show up and it's gay as hell with a female pastor and shit sicko-flipped . but i'd rather just not go to church still

Yeah they are nice people. I help them with food pantry and homeless outreach, but they are complete idealists, allergic to material root cause analysis of the problems they are cleaning up.

Very much a 'if only our leaders weren't so greedy and sinful' crowd, which is exhausting in it's own way.

Eh if it's an actual Mainline Protestant church they may be. Those are all filled with old hippies now who just do community service.

No way it's an evangelical church.

I did some further searching, turns out is is indeed, by Erika Rothenberg

One must imagine Sisyphus joyous

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We wouldn't have joyous tales like A Christmas Carol without living through Victorian England wholesome

I'm imagining Jeff Bozos getting visited by the ghost of xmas yet to come, seeing Tiny Tim die of rickets, all of his workers miserable and destitute, but, the line has continued to go up. He slinks back easily into his bed.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

god damn, is this real? its so on the nose it feels hackneyed.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

It's an art piece by Erika Rothenberg. Comment elsewhere in this thread links it

It's wild because AA has been an american tradition since the great depression, so we got almost a century of misery!
