Except by dogs I guess... :-D

I AM - Thank you for your service! :-D

And now as thanks, a picture of a cat for no reason whatsoever - as is tradition!

What do you mean?

Now that's true love:-D.

Alright, I will sacrifice some of my karma for this, if it helps:-).

The meme is trying to wrangle the premise that "large corporations are (most often) bad" (which ofc is true:-P) into a humorous statement that engineers in the state of Texas have limited opportunities to find jobs.

The problem is that it messes up all the details - e.g. if you have ever heard of GameStop, Dell, or Texas Instruments (just to name 3) they all have their headquarters in Texas, plus numerous top tech companies have branches there like Samsung. A 5s Google search shows many, MANY more.

For extra context: moving between states is nothing at all like moving between countries - and e.g. the state of California has a GDP comparable to Germany - plus there are many jobs in the state of Texas for both Engineers and also non-Engineers, especially if someone is willing to make less money in exchange for other QoL factors (like living closer to family?) so... in short, it is not your fault for not understanding this meme.:-)

Though there must be just enough of something in it for it to have gotten this many upvotes, in spite of all that. As someone who hasn't lived in Texas for many years, I must be on the outside looking in now and thus don't get it:-P.

Sharing skibidi toilet with everyone across the Fediverse - I've been doing my part! :-P (few have ever heard of it, even fewer like it, none understand it -> it's perfect art!:-D)

Ngl, this sounds like the premise to a GREAT horror show, like American Horror Story. :-P

Wasn't I supposed to ask myself a question!? I wonder what it could possibly be? :-P

I think I might go with... the stick?

That's a good point actually. Never underestimate the power of a good saber rattle, I suppose? Also, they can't show the enemy how tough they are (not) on the battlefield, thus it makes sense to start terrorizing little children next, who are so very traitorous as to be (checks notes) watching YouTube cartoons. Yeesh :-(.

All those toxic Redditors coming here... I hope we can manage to significantly beef up the mod tools before then.

Probably, and it was surely glorious (if you did it right)!:-P
