Oh I completely agree with you that they are equating her to a titan.

I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I'm trying to put words on your mouth. I was simply disagreeing that the meme says "she's a titan because she is ugly/looks funny/etc" or "making fun of her looks" but rather that it's saying she's like a titan because she is staring down from above as the representative of an entity that consumes people. Obviously she is supposed to be a titan.

Like if I stomp around and someone equates me to an elephant that's not "making fun of me for my looks".

Because it is an ad that represents Amazon and Amazon acts like a titan? That's not even her smile. It's the grimace the ad agency put on her. That's amazon's smile.

How does she look like a Titan? Titans don't have anything resembling her features.

Get outta here Popeyes. Your tines are too short to grab the meat, and your ends are too pointy to gather the last 5%. I'd end up full of styrofoam, pawing at a bone like a kitten if I used you. My fingers and teeth work 100x better than you.

Even if I'm backpacking and I need to save weight, I'd rather have a cat-dog version of spoon and fork.

I just went to check it out. I don't think she looks anything like a titan, but Amazon sure fits the description of a titan. I still think the interpretation that the meme is making fun of this woman's looks, is severely reaching, but thank you very much for the explanation.

Am I missing something or are you making fun of this person in your head and assuming that's what's going on? I just saw "lady opens box, tiny exploited people inside".

I'm sure I'm just missing a bit of media or meme context. Can you explain?

"oh shit! Is that Tim?"
"With a rats nest like that, it has to be."
"Hey Tim, a wise man trims his bush once in a while!"
"Jesus Christ. Is that a Cheeto?"

I played TF2 from release, to the month they implemented matchmaking. Technically they left the ability to host and join specific servers, but those emptied and never came back. I was now essentially only allowed to pay with strangers.

I joined again for the Halloween event, thinking my tradition of playing hours of Mann Manor could still be enjoyed at least. After all, it was a special event, and I knew others would join the 24/7 Manor servers like they had every year, just like me.

Nope. They were all empty. Everyone still only joined matchmaking. I miss my server-friends. Mostly it was just acquaintances, but sometimes I'd make a real long-term friend after we'd find eachother at an event IRL.

As is almost always the case, the algo that optimizes, doesn't optimize for what I want or need, it optimizes for what an unfeeling corp "needs". I want less downtime, sure, but not at the cost of meaning.
