Admittedly that sort of censoring has been used online since forever. Stuff like "pr0n", etc.
I won't deny that there are elements of a mildly conservative worldview in the post (mentioning the necessity of a "stable male figure"), but you go way overboard with your interpretation. If the post really was in line with such ideas, I wouldn't have posted it here.
It's from https://boards.4chan.org/r9k/thread/79241078, it does seem real, apparently he's been sporadically posting about his job for some time.
Are you a bot? Or just lazy?
I am a bot. Beep boop.
Also, the first woman? Props to her but I’m quite surprised no one else has done that
Yeah, it's indeed false. I didn't even research it actively, but Wilson on her Twitter profile mentioned an Italian translator who translated Homer years before Wilson.
(To be sure, I just checked Italian Wikipedia. It was Giovanna Bemporad, her translation was published in 1970.)
Want to make a comic that’s just four panels of an unmoving rock? Still a comic.
Sure, except that would be a somewhat shitty comic and anyone would have the right to say that if that's their opinion.
Between this and all the “how is this a meme?” comments. Most inane, useless comments. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t meant for you? Clearly it’s getting upvotes
Maybe my comment wasn't meant for you if it bothers you this much? Just move on bro.
You'd expect a sub that's about memes to contain memes, or, if not quite memes in the "proper" sense of the word, at least generally funny or entertaining content. This is just a brief lecture in four panels. McCloud's wonderful comic is pretty much the last thing this could remind me of.
Ok but where's the punchline? Why is this even a comic?
Here in my southeast European shithole I'm not worrying about my tax money, the upgrade is going to be pretty cheap, they're just going to switch from unlicensed XP to unlicensed Win7.
Yep, but I didn't mention that because it's not a part of the "Wayback Machine", it's just the general "Internet Archive" business of archiving media, which is for now still completely unavailable. (I've uploaded dozens of public-domain books there myself, and I'm really missing it...)
This is what I've seen many people claim. But it is a weak compliment for AI, and more of a criticism of the current web search engines. Why is that information unavailable to search engines, but is available to LLMs? If someone has put in the work to find and feed the quality content to LLMs, why couldn't that same effort have been invested in Google Search?
