Most research-level publications have quite a few figures and pictures in them, and this goes back quite a while. Illustrations are a cornerstone of advanced communication. Not all pictures are lolcats and selfies. [http://dilbert.com/strip/1992-11-08](http://dilbert.com/strip/1992-11-08) Says it all, really. ---

Oh please, if posting pictures were allowed in the SDMB, this place would be a mess of Terry Pratchett memes and cat pics within a week. ---

When I had a facebook, people posted lots of words. Racist, misinformed, hoax-laden words, but words nonetheless. ---

Hey, hey, so what does it mean for intellectualism if my facebook feed has a lot of links to written articles, but on the facebook link you just see a picture and one line of text? ---

I like the fact that this board has no pictures because my office is arranged such that my boss has a clear view of my monitor, and from a distance this board looks like something that could be work-related. Otherwise, really guys, the ability to embed pictures and video in a post is not the dystopian nightmare a lot of you think it is. ---

I get it. For what it’s worth, I hate internet links that lead to videos…I want to read a story, dammit. I have a television for watching the news…Now, is your husband more like you or is he a picture type person?
