Unfortunately, the style's screwed up, but if you view source and look at line 840:

I believe that is check and mate.

If you do it, I'll post a picture of myself disguised as the Magician for Halloween

[PluMGMK]

Nice, but why'd you post it in Off-Topic?

[Haruka]

Thumbed up.

Gonna ignore because should have been uploaded to reddit.

Rage comics are one of the most profound symptoms of the degeneracy of our society.

[Haruka]

Indeed, but the content isn't far from truth.

Rage comics are one of the most profound symptoms of the degeneracy of our society.

I remember perfectly when you used a rage face to express something to me, right in this forum. It was a "everything went better than expected", so I guess you're participating in the degeneracy of our society, Sir. Imtoocoolformemes.

Rage comics suck, but there's something about Dolan that totally doesn't suck. It's like some odd cross between sheer, sheer, sheer stupidity and in-your-face satire that I find hysterical.

[sergiomonty]

Rage comics aren't that bad. I see them as an opportunity for people with good sense of humour to express themselves with no particular drawing skills or ambitions. People just hate them because everybody uses them nowadays, but it's just question of finding the correct ones.

And why do you think I stopped using them soon afterwards? Because I realised they were stupid. Using these images to communicate an emotion is bad enough, but attempting to tell an entire story with them is just embarrassing. I like memes – just not terrible ones.

That one is probably my least favourite meme of all. There is no 'satire' here – just a shitty MS Paint image getting shopped lazily and pointlessly into other images. How it caught on I'll never know. Hopefully the people who spread it will one day mature enough to cringe at their previous behaviour.

to express themselves with no particular drawing skills or ambitions.

Here's an idea: express yourself through the medium of the English language!

People just hate them because everybody uses them nowadays,

Or maybe because they have brains.

You still used memes, prideful beast

To reiterate: I am specifically discussing rage comics, not 'memes'. Reading comprehension 101. And why do you think I stopped using them soon after the incident in question? Because I realised that they were stupid. Using these images to communicate an emotion is bad enough, but attempting to tell an entire story with them is just embarrassing. I like memes – just not terrible ones.

rage faces are memes, and you still used them

Dammit, can't you read? He said he stopped using rage faces because he has learned that they are stupid. He's not talking about memes overall in that context.

Does someone need a hug?

[Haruka]

Sergio, Spiral already explained the thing twice and you keep insisting. I'm glad I never used a rage comic to express myself, I even don't know how these got popular. *Shrug* There are better ways to express opinions or feelings.

@Luke Sometimes it is better to stay away of a subject and not breaking it abruptly.

[Viricide Filly]

Whether rage comics are shit or not is a matter of opinion. If done correctly without the use of stupidity like "le", they can be funny sometimes.

Maturity doesn't have to equal a particular sense of humour, or lack thereof. People can find the most retarded things funny for whatever reason, being mature is just realising that.

Beware of the Retardz.
