I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:

A photoshopped version of the “You wouldn’t download a car” ad saying: “You wouldn’t download an actor”

    Considering how expanding images on KBin is pretty inelegant at this point, I also appreciate you transcribing the meme so I don’t have to open it.

      You appreciate the transcription because you’re blind.

      I appreciate it, because kbin expands images inelegantly.

      We are not the same!

      I actually don’t understand the need for this, don’t images have an alt tag where you can put the image transcription?

      Is it necessary to put it in the text of the post as well? (Aside from your kbin UI issues)

      The "Always have been" meme but it's a picture of beans and the first astronaut says "Wait . Are we still upvoting these?" The second astronaut says "Always have been."

      Or are there just not any apps that support reading the alt text yet?

      The way kbin handles images is really annoying right now. It’s definitely something the developers need to improve.

      Did you see the little photo icon at the bottom of the post preview?

      That will expand the image (so you don’t have to open the post).
