I'm telling you: that cat could be the star of a show called "Cats I Don't Care About"

You know, with the Dominion, the more I learn about those guys, the more I don’t care for them.

In the case of this meme, I presume placing NordVPN higher is mostly due to slotting it in the "As seen on TV" tier. I assume ProtonVPN is just not advertised as much.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of a sexy female alien...

"Piece of advice — if you're gonna rip something off, think of something a little more obscure."

Not even once

So I did too much LDS, which was the style at the time.

I wish I had any good advice other than just "do it". Next time you need to make a meme, open GIMP first, and each time you get stuck trying to do something that you cannot figure out among the million submenus available, search online for how it is done. Most of the time, someone else has already posted on StackOverflow or something asking how to do that very same thing. Eventually, you will rely on outside help less and less.

EDIT: Just looking up "make meme with gimp" seems to come up with some good basic tutorials, though some are quite old and outdated. The one thing that I do not agree with in any that I had checked is their various methods for adding an outline to text. I like to use the Drop Shadow filter to do so. Select your text layer > click Filters (in the menu bar at the top of the window) > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow. In the dialog window that appears, set the following values:

• X: 0
• Y: 0
• Blur radius: 1.00
• Grow radius: 10
• Opacity: 1.000 (or whatever the maximum value is in your version of GIMP)

Depending on the font size of your text, play around with the blur radius and grow radius until it looks good to you.

How might one even do that? It's not like the post title, comments, etc. reliably indicate the subject of the post.

He was annoying in Picard and Eureka.

Tangentially related: while making this, I got to mess with a filter setting called "phase shift"

"I recommended that we ta--"

"NEGATIVE, MR. WORF"

You might also notice that #7 here is a stunt double. Probably easier to get your name on many franchises that way than by being a "traditional" actor.

More original/creative than what I might have inevitably made!

I want to create an Arrested Development "dozen times" crossover meme, but I cannot think of a good scene to use.

I predict a lot of mariachi Q

Yep, but LopensLeftArm is MIA
