Transcription:
4 Panel comic taken from when a reporter Yvonne Tong asked Doctor Alyward from the WHO about Taiwanese membership in the WHO (WHO having China as a Major player) Yvonne Tong is here representing the teacher and Me is played by Dr Alyward.
1: My Teacher: Where is your homework
2: Me: I’m sorry I couldn’t hear your question. Yvonne.
3: My Teacher: Ok let me repeat the question
4: No, that’s okay. Let’s move to another one then.This transcription has more information than the actual image. Well done, I had no clue who these people were.
Thank you :) I got curious, so I researched it, and was thinking maybe others might want to know as well :)
Lemmy’s getting some good memes 🎉
The memes here are really fresh, I’m honestly enjoying this community a lot more than the memes subreddit.
I feel like the memes (or most of the content) on reddit kept recycling every 3/4 weeks. After you spend an year on reddit, only about 25% of the content will be new to you.
Yeah, I appreciated the reposts to an extent because memes cycled so quickly I would often miss the original, but it definitely got stale over time.
I was on Reddit for over 11 years and until maybe a year or two ago thought the complaints about reposts were way overblown. For most of that time I think the people complaining were on Reddit pretty much 24/7 and therefore saw every single post in the subs they followed. It wasn’t an issue if you spent any time away from the site.
The problem is if you sort by new and would see the same post 4 times under the last 20.
What happened here again? I forgot
A reporter asked the spokesperson from the WHO about Taiwanese membership and the guy was just pretending he couldn’t hear her (Probably due to China being a big player in the WHO)
I have a vague recollection of a Canadian politician getting cornered with a great question on covid response overreach on a video call, and after everyone watching, including a live audience, heard everything crystal clear, they were like “sorry, we seem to be having technical issues, couldn’t hear the question, looks like you’re breaking up!” And then they hung up LOL.
Nothing to see here, folks, go back to your business!
He probably meant it like, “Uh oh, I absolutely can not hear that question, my parents will kill me.”
Oh yeah! Yikes
Only video I found
Wow
Yikes

Reporter asking about ongoing Uyghur genocide in China.
— Will the WHO consider Taiwan’s membership?
— Couldn’t hear you let’s move to the next question.
— OK, next question, will the WHO consider Taiwan’s membership?
She needs to up her game.
