I’d like to thank the cult of Discord people that upvote my memes, and Andrew for posting fire memes and straight facts enough so that I wasn’t at the top of a list for a year in review post of an oddly specific robotics forum yet again.

40 likes is waaay too close for comfort…

[Andrew_L]

Man, I really need to post less.

[Nick_Coussens]

We all know this post was to start farming your likes for 2022, stop pretending.

You mean you don’t want to thank the Academy and God?
