My sense of meme culture, and I admit I could be wrong, is that it’s a praise full compliment when someone uses another’s meme format and modifies it. I was sort of startled when you claimed ownership. I thought wow: I did not know that dude was the originator. So. good on you. I honestly don’t come to Lemmy to piss anyone off. I’m not here to compete. Just play and participate a little.
I’m do regret employing AI — I’m here because I want to move the entire internet back to 1999. So… it was a move in violation of my own principals… but I’ve been listening to Gerry Rafferty a lot and I’m nostalgic for the 70s and so I added my two cents.
Surely did not mean to bug.
Eh, it’s fine, I guess. It’s not really my image, legally speaking. AI just really upsets me, and I do anything and everything I can to fight it.
For your sake, and the sakes of those who see your memes, maybe edit images with Microsoft Paint or something next time? That’d certainly give it 1999 interweb vibes.
p.s. i’m not a dude <3
I thank you both for making an example of healthy communication while being upset. I come from a household where the way “adults” were communicating anger thought me nothing but “anger = bad” and really struggled to see otherwise. While I have defeated that mind bug of mine, I still do highly appreciate examples that would’ve helped me in the past in understanding that there might be someone reading your exchange from the spot I was in. <3
This was quite unexpected, yet rather welcome. I’m glad to know I navigated the interaction without seeming like a total jerk.
To be quite honest, the other interaction were kinda… oof, but this one in particular was done pretty healthily. It’s very easy to seem like a jerk when one cares about something deeply and it gets violated. But still, more the reason to encourage healthy communication and openness and understanding even while angry without compromising on the care <3
