Funny (political, religious) pictures

Are we surprised that someone making that meme would be so incredibly media-illiterate that they interpret Supes and Spidey's anti-crime activities as pro-fascist?
 
It's almost like selling the land out from under the properties is a thing that could be an early warning of what is about to happen, and maybe even be a thing you shouldn't be allowed to do.

I wonder how old this one is:
Advertising is more intrusive than most graffiti.jpg


McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Taco Bell are nearly timeless, but I can't remember the last time I saw a GAP ad, Got Milk? is pretty old, and haven't billboard ads for cigarettes been banned in the US (and a number of other countries) for a while now?

Hey, if every single female character isn't oversexualized spankbait, these guys might actually have to start thinking of women as people, and THAT would suck so much.

(And I say that as a guy who can't get enough spankbait)
 
I was really taken aback by the comments to the first reactions for the Silent Hill 2 remake that Maria looks too normal and not "outer worldly" any more and for MGS 3 that The Boss looks weird.
 
Number five reminded me of the existence of the double space after the period.
I used to be an absolute stickler for it.
And now I type in four different languages, all with different rules (space before or after the question mark, "" quotes or <<>> quotes, etc) and I don't even think about the disappearance of the double space anymore.
 
I used to be an avid double spacer until a translation client told me to only use one space, so I switched to one space. I won't change for reasons such as aesthetics, popular use, or formatting, but I will completely abandon something I've done for literally decades as long as you're the one paying me.

Sometimes I think it's a good thing I'm not in a position of power, I just know I would take so many bribes.
 
Wait. Is the double space after a period not a thing anymore? also, not just the period, but just at the end of any sentence. When this become a thing because I have been left out of the loop.

Yes, because modern word processing software will put the appropriate amount of space after a period, unlike a typewriter. That argument is what convinced me to finally stop double spacing
 
I feel like it started being a thing in the late 90s/early 00s? The 15th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style officially started recommended single spacing in 2003. I seem to recall there being a back-and-forth about that usage back in the day, either here or one of the previous forum iterations.
