I have never interpreted this as making fun of Rick Astley, just a stupid joke to trick people into watching something. I totally agree, he is very talented.
The meme has been a huge benefit to him as well, his popularity skyrocketed with a generation that wasn’t around when he was first popular and led to tons of listens and sales of his music, heck they even had him play at the Macy’s day parade!
As I recall, I read an interview with him, and he didn’t quite understand the meme, but he was thrilled it had blown up his popularity again and introduced so many new people to his music.
Even if that was the original intention, it turned out to be a great benefit to him personally, so if that’s what it was supposed to be, then I guess the jokes on them 😀
Kira pushed a four shift rotation to Sisko while he was delirious with a massive head injury. Later he suggested the idea as well and Kira was so happy he wasn’t dead/ agreed that she just took joy in agreeing with his “suggestion”
That was a clear callback to jellico in my opinion.
In the case of Miles “Peekaboo” is the name of an alien culture that mind rapes you for a hundred thousand centuries in an instant for adding too much sugar to your coffee.
A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.
The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.
Jokes aside, I do find using my phone for casual meme browsing much more comfortable, so it’s just waiting for everything to catch up and work properly.
