A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I feel like I kinda hit the jackpot with my job rn. In the US, I work at my local community college (where I'm a student as well), and I don't think I could ever make myself work for a for-profit business. I'm paid well, treated well, and most importantly, my work is meaningful to me. I happened to land a job that in the language lab (as an interpreting major), and I know that I'm working to directly benefit my community-- not to exploit customers or to be exploited for my own labor. It's bliss.
Not disagreeing with this post whatsoever, and fuck capitalism. Just wanted to go on a happy lil rant because I'm lucky enough to have a job I love in spite of it (for the time being).
Same. I help elderly with tech at a retirement community.
Feel appreciated every day. Feel like I've made a meaningful impact by making people's days easier.
Think the key is benefiting a community like you said. It's borderline impossible to change the world you live in, making it better for others is fulfilling if you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity.
