dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Because the people who can afford a 4 year cruise are totally the same that will be negatively affected by a Trump presidency.

It’s $40k/year that includes all living expenses as far as I can tell (with options to upgrade for better food, drinks, and lodging, of course). There are liberal retirees who would otherwise be in assisted living but don’t need the sort of medical resources that a full on retirement home provides whom this isn’t an awful deal for if you don’t think about it too hard

You're still living in a floating petri dish for months at a time.

Yeah you’ve pretty much just gotta ignore that and hope it doesn’t cause problems, especially if you’re elderly

Cruises have wifi right? Full time WFH might be able to make something work too.

You may have to pay for your bandwidth, and it's usually slow. I don't think it's consistant enough to be used for work if you have to upload files or have conference calls.

But anyway, I don't think that liberal retirees and desk workers privileged enough to be allowed to fully work from home are the demographic that will have to hide on a cruise ship.
