Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like…unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.

Dudes definitely everywhere though.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills meets Cyberpunk 2077.

…which I’m pretty sure is still just Cyberpunk. They’d still be part of the ruling class, married to/divorced from some high up Arasaka CEO.

It’s very telling how many Texans are in this thread with affirmative responses.

As someone who lives in Texas, I agree. I’m not from here, military transplant, but I did set it to my “permanent state” specifically so I could vote here. If I’m being forced to live here, might as well do my part to try and change the fuckery going on.

However, the absolute second that the ink on my DD214 is dry, I will NEVER set foot in this state again. Not purposefully anyhow.

It sucks, because Austin, SATX, and my personal favey fave: Houston, are all fucking awesome cities. But they’re not worth it. Not worth it to see how much Texans with money prioritize the dehumanization of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQ+ community.

If money was no object, I’ve always been smitten with the idea of Canada. I like much cooler weather than Texas provides, and I want nation-wide socialized Healthcare. Surprisingly difficult to immigrate too from what I’ve seen on a cursory glance though.

The Bravo/Real Housewives communities have been tempting me lately. I love all the franchises, but I don’t keep up with all the social media drama/ news in between seasons like those fans do. It’s where I got all my scandals and whatnot.

And also just having a community to chit chat with about the most recent episodes.

That being said, I deleted my account in July and I’ll not be going back.

I can’t think of anything more metal than subsisting on arsenic, lead, and belladonna mixtures.

Tbf the fact that the “F” is included makes no goddamned sense. Just always how I’ve seen it abbreviated 🤷🏼‍♀️

IFYKYK

They had exquisite, and expensive taste! They drop some dollars for their steak!

I have some kinda mutt who was abandoned by his owner (he was microchipped and we reached out saying we had him and they answered back telling us what a good dog he is and how much joy he’ll bring us 🙄)

His original name was Kobe, but neither my husband nor I are basketball fans, so I changed it to “Korbie”, as short for Korbel, my favorite cheap fake champagne.

Anyhow, he now gets referred to as “Korbie Porgie Pudding and Pie” or “Korbelicious” (Sung to the tune of “Fergielicious” of course!)

I have a Shiba-Inu mutt named “Konoha” (Yes Naruto dorks, I’m a big fan too) that I refer to as “Coconut” on occasion!

It started because non-anime fans could not remember her name no matter how hard they tried, and she answered to it anyhow.

Okay the comic made me laugh, and then this made me laugh harder.

That’s a fair take on it for sure, and one I hadn’t considered. When I went to rewatch the commercial to make sure that I didn’t misremember it, there were a lot of “Controversial Superbowl Ad” type videos that I did not click on, because I don’t need hyper-Christian videos defending it or anything else in my YT reccs, so that clearly shows an intense difference of reception of this ad.

I’m just wary of immediately poking holes in anything/everything the right does, if I feel like they’re at least making an attempt, rather than being like, “Hey, you tried, and that’s good. Maybe next time showcase your message like this instead so more people find this palatable…”

Maybe it’s because I grew up in a Republican household, and even spewed some of that rhetoric, and I had my own journey into Progressive thinking, so I like to give people the benefit of the doubt/growth/seeing the error of their ways/etc.

Honestly, I thought the same thing. I got really apprehensive the moment that I saw the foot washing begin, but so many different types of people were depicted having their feet washed (girl in front of a Planned Parenthood, white dude washing the feet of a Native American activist, cop washing the foot of a black dude in an inner city alley, white family washing the feet of who I assume are meant to represent immigrants because its a bus full of Hispanic people, etc), that I felt like they were doing their best to remind everyone to love even those that “society” (Republicans) deems “unfit”. Now, were some of those depictions made with underlying racist undertones? Yes. But I honestly cannot determine if it was purposeful, or if this was one of those “they tried their best. More work to be done, but the effort was there” moments. Maybe I’m still just not jaded enough.

I love his little turtle face in the 4th panel

That planner knew what they were doing

I’ve heard the theory that porn these days is so over the top and intense a lot of the times, that you can just turn off the sound to step porn and get more moderate, missionary, “plain” style porn if that’s your jam.

I have zero opinion either way, as I read my porn, this is just a hypothesis I’ve heard 🤷‍♀️

Cookie is adorably plotting his reign of chaos and destruction.

That’s a positive response! Indeed we can learn together my dude!

Panel 1: Seems like dude is belittling chick by yelling something perceived as “mean” and chick is crying.

Panel 2: We find out chick wants to be funny and make people laugh.

Panel 3: We find out dude was actually being supportive and encouraging, and is proud the chick is making the crowd laugh, thereby achieving her goals.

So, I’ve parsed the comic down. Now, wtf are you saying? Because I’m lost.
