Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

We've had it in the US forever, at least since the 80s. The last time I cashed a paycheck that wasn't from a temp agency or some other temporary work was probably a call center job I had back in 2004 when I was making ends meet finishing college. I had mine electronically deposited in the 90s in the Navy.

I think it's just a joke that no one gets a physical paycheck anymore.

i think its a play on how technology changed nothing and we are still struggling under capitalism

I think you're just being more clever, succinct, and right than me. So there.
