Annoying lazy memes are not communication

Acquaintance is in the habit of WhatsApping me various funny/less funny memes, think he gets them off Twitter mostly. WIU to respond to one of those "all people who believe in x are morally and intelectually bankrupt" type political meme from some journalist with a genuine comment that as I'm married to such a person (which he knows) I don't agree and that I think these memes are stupid and basically lazy ad hominen attacks in disguise?
This is a professional person with a good degree who honestly should know better imo.

Are only people with bad degrees allowed to send memes?

VanGoghsDog · 22/09/2022 14:53

Just say "please stop sending me this shit", I've found that works.

I like a good meme.

I love a good meme, and to me they're perfectly valid communication.

Like any form of communication, though, some people are better at it than others. I have a friend who is, hands-down, a genius with the Britney gifs.

Maybe your friend just isn't very good at memes.

If one doesn’t know if their degree is good or bad does that mean it’s bad and so one can continue to send memes? Asking for a friend.

(whisper) are you married to a Tory MP?
