I'm a chick, responding because you mentioned some women are grossed out by intact dicks.

Every penis is different in its own weird way so whether there's foreskin or not is just an extra thing. Size/shape/foreskin/existence doesn't affect how I think about the person.

Any person who thinks men ought to be mutilated to be attractive is lacking in empathy and judgment, and my entire friend group thinks the same thing.

I know it's a joke but if anyone out there ever feels like they're always too hot or too cold (and it's not a medical thing,) check the tags on your clothes. Seriously, the kind of fibre you wear makes a huge difference in how you feel. I live where it gets below 30°C in the winter, where people ask me how the hell I'm not freezing. Well, I have a cotton tee, a merino wool stanfield, thick wool socks, wool fleece hoodie and a wool hat.

Edit: I'm not a lava golem, just a dumbass. NEGATIVE 30°C

This is a real world example of why media literacy matters.

Most common reasons for being woke:

  • Gay people
  • Gay people getting married
  • Player can be gay or trans
  • Non-white people
  • Player is non-white
  • Strong women
  • Socialism

Their "non-woke" approved games include Bayonetta, Tropico, The Witcher, and Final Fantasy XII.

90% Vegetarian. Chicken and Fish meat only. Canada.

I used to be a chef so I follow food safety guidelines with some wiggle room, since commerical kitchen standards are supposed to protect all kinds of people in a wide variety of circumstances, while I'm fairly healthy and in control of my kitchen/storage.

I don't let food that's supposed to be hot sit at room temperature for more than 2hrs max. I keep most starchy fruit and root veggies in loose, hanging bags and berries/greens/less starchy vegetables in the fridge. I usually only buy meat if I'm using it that day, only keep leftovers in the fridge for two-to-three days, and freeze anything else.

Super basic explanation: Bacteria are on anything not sterile or on fire. Most are harmless on their own but some produce shit that makes you sick. Like botulism is caused by the toxin the bacteria produce and not the bacteria itself, and it's found on vegetables. The bacteria (if they're not endospores) die with heat but the toxin remains. And with food production all mingled, bacteria from meats can be transferred to non-meat products, too. You can even get sick from raw flour.

Cooked foods have more available sugars and nutrients for bacteria to eat, plus warmth and moisture, so it's a great environment for bacteria to break out of hibernation, make babies and poop toxins.

Leaving cooked starchy foods out in ideal bacteria party conditions isn't great, and food poisoning isn't always throwing up and shitting your guts out. Sometimes it's a slight headache or a sore throat, and it can happen days or months after the fact. Ever had a 24 flu? Unexplained weird anxiety and a tummy ache that goes away after a day? Food poisoning happens to about 1/10 people worldwide every year.

But whatever, it's about how much risk you want to take on.

It's on you to figure out what you're talking about before you comment.

At face value it looks like someone comparing the Nuremberg trials to punishing a political opposition.

I couldn't find the post you commented on because it was removed, but I think it was the one about Julius Streicher.

If it was, then... The hanging of Julius fucking Streicher after his conviction at Nuremberg is a little goddamn different from hanging journalists who don't politically align with the current government.

I agree with the mod.

NO

As WalrusDragonOnABike so perfectly put it:

Its satirizing the tendency for doctors to be more dismissive of women having pain than men, for example. This would be more of a problem with non-visible causes of pain, especially ones that predominantly effect women such as chronic migraines. This comic extrapolates this to comedic effect by using a gunshot wound instead.

AND

I love how a 4 panel comic about dismissal of women’s medical concerns is getting multiple commentors who want to dismiss those problems because a 4 panel comic doesn’t explicitly go into the a specific nuance they are focused on. Plenty of people get the punchline just fine without it.

It's not about pregnancy. It's about dismissing pain and blaming symptoms on hormones.

This isn't a woman complaining about people getting creative with her face, it's a report on her experience with Sora.

One of the key points stated at the beginning was:

Although nudity or sexual content is banned, I discovered people making fetish content with my face.

Which opens the question about what, exactly, someone is consenting to when they allow other people to use their face, and what's considered pornographic.

She went on to say users were making underage fetish content and potentially pornographic material anyway. This is a problem with any AI generated content and why so many stable diffusion platforms have banned words and groups of terms, if they don't flat out ban all sexual terms. But, since the apps use real language, it's impossible to think of every possible route to an end. The terms of service and moderation try to plug the holes, but they can't be 100% effective.

I used to get a lot more freelance writing and design gigs before AI. It was great under the table money because, at times, I recieve partial support for my disability, and they deduct from my monthly funds if I make money. It's not enough to live on to begin with, so I relied on side gigs for any savings at all.

Now? I get none. Former clients have outright told me it's just cheaper to use AI or Canva or whatever. I have friends with similar stories, so I wonder just how much of the unseen labor market was affected by this.

I don't blame AI. It's a neat technology and there's nothing inherently wrong with. I blame capitalism for stealing from artists, building unsustainably, and for creating a world where people have to worry about lost funds from designing bullshit web graphics and business cards instead of having the time, money and bandwidth to follow our passions.

Where do they call you a transphobe? They removed your comment for misandry. Admittedly, your point is a little difficult to understand.

It looks like you said misandry doesn't exist, and by extension trans men can't face misandry because it doesn't exist.

Misandry, as a term, has a fucked up past and is too often used against feminists, but evidence indicates prejudice against men in select situations and careers. It's no where near the scale of institutionalized misogyny, but to deny men can be descriminated against on the basis of sex at all is incorrect.

Examples of systemic misandry include longer prison sentences for the same crimes, or the lack of recognition for male rape victims, including laws that state only men can be rapists.

I can see why denying misandry would be taken down.

It was a great statement to make.

Don't have to know shit, no. People don't have to give you the benefit of the doubt if you don't want to be informed, either.

Illuminaughtii was pretty wild.

JonTron said all that Great Replacement Theory racist shit but collab'd with Internet Historian on his B channel some time after. Haven't followed him in a long time so I donno if his career suffered.

Onision is nuts in so many dark and strange ways that were completely predictable.

Among them all I'm so glad that Internet Comment Etiquette has always been my favorite. Eric is a good boy.
