      Someone once described LimeWire to me as, “having unprotected sex with the internet,” and they were completely right.

    I mean, she’s still using it correctly in that context. 👀

    If I say something “tastes like ass” and I’m eating, like, a bagel, I’m probably saying it tastes bad and not like ass cheeks.

      Yeah, I think how she is using it is completely acceptable. We all understand what she is saying and what she means… that’s a win in my book.

            ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I’ll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you’re reheating it for some reason.

              Air fryer usually get the cheese a bit more melty and pulls out moisture in the crust that causes staleness. Nothing is better than an air fryer reheat in my experience

              Have you tried an oven?

              Microwaves just suck for heating up leftover pizza.

                yeah oven is my go-to, need to try the air fryer suggestion from @peopleproblems@lemmy.world though. But I mean I’m not expecting miracles, anything that’s been reheated after days isn’t gonna be like when it’s fresh.

                  I tend to grill mine in a foil pouch which isn’t so bad either. I think you could probably grill it directly on the grate too, but there’s more risk of it burning.

                I have a panini press that can be propped open, and it’s the best thing for reheating a slice of pizza. I usually microwave it a bit first just to heat it thru, but sticking on the panini press makes the crust, ah, crusty again.

    What’s with modern webcomics only posting to social media and nowhere else unless someone reposts it? I want an easy to browse gallery. If your comic is only available via instagram/twitter then I won’t read your comic

        Hosting is cheap and there is free hosting available if you don’t care about having a custom domain and have a limited audience. If your audience is big enough to go past that bandwidth you can probably monetize somehow and cover server costs easily, even if it’s just selling a few pieces of merch. My website is $80 a year with a custom domain and I get unlimited transfer/bandwidth. It’s shared hosting so over about 1k visitors per day means it’ll get slow but if you’re getting that kind of traffic you can probably sell more merch and get a vps

        Use twitter/pixiv/ig for promotion but if you don’t do the above your locking out anyone who refuses to make account. All of them won’t let you look at more than 1-5 images before locking you out entirely with account nag screens that can’t be bypassed. Or just stay on those platforms, I don’t care, I’ll just never read your comic

        Plenty of ways to host for free, even with a custom domain. (Though the domain is $15 per year) Like GitHub. Or you can even just use Tumblr with a custom domain.

            verbally? I don’t. Last time I swore verbally at someone (ie not text) was like 2 years ago under my breath that they didn’t even hear.

            On the Internet though I curse all the time, though I don’t often curse at someone specifically (excluding CEOS), more at a general company/group of people. Though more commonly I use it as a filler word like “so fucking funny”

      Just in case you really needed an answer.

      In a sexual context, having sex without protection. In conversational context, it pretty much means with no support or accessories. So her “raw dogging” a bus ride means no music/entertainment, she’s just going to have to look out the window or something.

        Not just without protection, also without lube or foreplay of any kind. That’s an important distinction.

      Specifically, “raw” is rather obvious - meaning unprepared, as in to not use a condom

      But the dog part comes from a more sinister usage where to “dog someone out” was to “pimp someone out” - ie coerce someone into sex work.

    This was the exact joke used on the show Shrinking. Where Harrison Ford had no idea what its true meaning meant and would use it in some questionable situations until eventually someone had the balls to tell him what it really meant. It wasn’t a great show but it was ok sometimes.

      Thank you, I was struggling to remember where I (and the cartoonist I guess?) had originally heard this joke.
