    I’m with you as much as I know how. I love plenty about Canada but I also don’t pretend that we have a clean conscience with our history and don’t generally feel like we should blindly celebrate without acknowledging the problems. In that way and because of the convoy losers the flag has become a bit of a badge of ignorance. But as long as people are trying to be aware then there should also be a time to relax and unwind.

    I still don’t know what you’re suggesting. are purple aliens known to take chargers unnecessarily? I get that her responses are strange (possibly fake) but my point is that the meme sucks and doesn’t make sense on its own to a lot of people, myself included. this scene in this movie franchise is not well understood enough to connect to the situation.

    haha you’re going to double down? like, I’m really trying to get through that first sentence and it’s total gore. at the very least there’s some missing punctuation but even when I try to put pauses in places where there should be commas it’s just a pile of lost plot. I’ve tried like 10 times and I don’t know why.


  • yes, we can deduce that someone is doing something and that is being compared to taking a phone charger when it isn’t needed. but a solid meme references an image that has a humorous and well understood comparison to the topic. this just appears to be a guy using a robot arm device. I don’t know how that comically references someone taking something that they don’t need when they already have enough. does it?


  • how is it plain? what is he doing? what is on his arm? what does him fucking with his arm have to do with taking a charger when it is not needed? I have no idea and clearly plenty of other people also agree.

    this scene is not common enough knowledge to reference that people know what’s happening and that makes it a poor choice for the meme.
