Couldn’t you just, like… read something else though? Clearly these comics have an audience that appreciates them, and you’re not in it, and that’s okay. Pizza Cake’s comics aren’t doing any harm to the medium; all those comics you mentioned are still out there for you and everyone else to enjoy, no one is taking that away from you. It’s not some great shame to the art of comics for Pizza Cake’s content to just exist.

Like, I love reading books, but I’m not a fan of sappy romance novels. But I’d never suggest that people writing sappy romance novels are diminishing the medium; I just ignore them and move on with my life.

I agree with the sentiment, but can we please quit it with the Christian eschatology analogies? There are enough nutbags out there drawing the same comparisons as it is, except they take them literally and find them encouraging.

Plus, in my opinion, the more we equate these people with mythological figures of doom and dread, the harder it becomes to feel like we can actually do anything about them.

I think they were trying to point out the double standard here. As a Democrat, she gets hung out to dry over a tiny infraction, whereas Republicans are openly corrupt and face 0 consequences. They’re saying if she ran as a Republican this incident would never have been a problem because the bar is so low for them.

My quick and dirty go-to meal for when I’m too tired to cook or just didn’t have time to prepare anything is Hot Dogs and Rice:

Chop up three hot dogs, ~¼ inch per slice, and set aside. Dice a small yellow onion; melt a tablespoon of butter in a pot over medium heat and throw in the onion, sauteeing until translucent. Throw in a cup of rice and allow the rice to toast a bit. Once toasted, add 2.5 cups of chicken broth (I use Better than Bouillon, it slaps) and let it reach a boil; meanwhile, gather ¼ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp basil, ¼ tsp rosemary, ¼ tsp garlic powder, and ¼ tsp onion powder, and dump that mixture into your pot and stir a little. Once you’ve got some boilage, add your chopped up hot dogs and ½ cup frozen veggies, then put the lid on and let it simmer for 20 minutes, after which you can remove from heat and let stand (lid on) for another 10 minutes. Then grab a fork and eat! It’s quick, easy, and dirt cheap, while still being pretty yummy.

Oh neat, misogynistic and transphobic

Yep, fair enough. Didn’t even have to scroll that far

Tried this with a pair of swim goggles once. Worked with the onions, but got clowned so hard by my roommates I cried anyway 😭

Do you have examples/context? I’ve seen these comics around here and there but I don’t recall seeing anything misogynistic

This is not news

Impeachment is the first step in bringing formal charges against the president. Assuming they have the will to convict (still a massive assumption at this point), it would represent a decisive move toward ending Trump’s presidency.

People who don’t feel like they are worthy of love are still worthy of love.

I think the fact that there could have been at least one newly freed slave who was the child of a first generation US slave (and therefore would have been ineligible for birthright citizenship by Sauer’s logic) makes Barrett’s point salient though. Sauer argues that the whole (and only) point of the 14th amendment was to grant African American slaves citizenship, but if you can find an African American slave who (all other things being equal) would not have been able to benefit from the citizenship granted by the amendment according to Sauer’s interpretation, then his argument has a massive hole in it.

Why is it terrible? It honestly seemed like a pretty good point to me.

Except this isn’t a football match. It’s real life, and the more people we have who are armed with knowledge to make wise decisions, the stronger our position. A spectator’s knowledge of football won’t influence the outcome of the game. You can’t exactly say the same about this.

Seems like a great way to discourage the folks who need that knowledge from requesting it

Seems like it still would have been trivial to include the creator’s username in a comment or something. Given OP’s extensive history of posting images with the creator’s watermark cropped out (for which they’ve been called out numerous times), I don’t think we need to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Much easier to upvote than comment if you’ve only got one hand free…

Right. All the more reason not to trust the U.S. now.

Given the Trump administration’s abject contempt for international law and treating allies with respect and fairness, I don’t think the distinction holds much water here. Bottom line: Don’t trust the U.S. Period.
