I gotta ask,, what's a meme? Serious question.

It’s short for mimeme, it’s a term coined by Richard Dawkins. Generally it kinda means cultural ideas that are replicated…but colloquially it’s when people post pictures from movies or TV with words on them.



A gif is more or less a short video meme.

pronounced with a J like Jif peanut butter or a hard G like in Gin but not "G" like Grant is a god to all

If @Redmt ever gets banned we will look back at this moment in the history of hunttalk as the turning point.

Sometimes I wish more of my posts would get moderated because if I ever get a girlfriend or real job I’m gonna have to go back through and do a bunch of editing.

 

[noharleyyet]

And for their morning coffee the person buried me with a bunch more moderation reports. Suffice to say, their password no long works.

Extension denied….

Exactly why it'll never happen!

I wasn't going to ask about the other 3 dollar words.

I wasn't going to ask about the other 3 dollar words.

Those are worth $7.58 when adjusted for inflation…

 

[Redmt]

I'm gonna go broke just reading the words with 5 letters or more. I quit!

I've never reported or tattled on a member. Don't have anyone on ignore. Bet I am on those lists though. Sometimes you have to put on big boy pants as they say. If you have to cry to Randy, might be best to move on. mtmuley

...and then people taking the leap to PM others when they need a tissue.
Pretty lame.

I like to be able to read this forum whether one of my kids is reading over my shoulder or not. We don't curse in our family and don't expose them to it if it can be avoided. Whether it's strong cursing or near nudity I'd prefer it stays elsewhere so I can not only enjoy the site in general, but also not feel the need to hide it from kids and/or wife.

I understand I might be in the minority. I also understand that I can simply not visit the site. But there are already so many corners of the internet that I have to avoid. It's nice to (generally) enjoy this one without those unnecessary additions.

I should print this and stick it to the wall over my desk. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if the internet has made us wiser or more stupid. I think it has definitely downgraded us as human beings.

I so agree with this..... My initial reason for joining this forum was its positive platform.
Let's get beyond Highschool level interactions and be Intelligent adults.

I would say it has exposed us more than downgraded us. The internet can make you wiser...or not. That's an individual choice.

Let's get beyond up to Highschool level interactions and be Intelligent adults.

FIFY. We need to set reasonable expectations.
