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

Cute Russian comic. The home of the official English version is here if anyone wants to skip ahead (or support them): https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en

Nepotism is a type of favoritism where people in power give special advantages - such as jobs or other privileges - to their relatives or friends simply because of their personal connection, not based on any merit.

Language is a social construct, so words mean whatever we agree they do, but it feels like we already had a separate word for that baker-had-one-day-good-pay

Sorry, I deleted my response (which I undeleted now for the sake of reference since you responded) because I realized cronyism is a better word for nepotism when it comes to giving favors to friends, though I wonder if there is a better and more general word to combine nepotism and cronyism because I find them to be the same at this point.
