    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.

    I had a friend who thought “Netflix & chill” just meant watch movies and relax, so she had it on her dating app profile and couldn’t understand why she only got hookups.

    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

        And it gives you some degree of control over reposts and people stealing content. If your not on the platform you cant really contest claims against a video or post.

        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.

        No, it really, seriously, doesn’t. People that rely on social media are just lazy and ignorant.

      Im OK with social media as long as it has RSS. But that also means no insta and no twitter.

          How can it not be a lecture in disguise?

          Do you know any well adjusted adults that don’t swear?

            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”

    I had to explain to my friend that “struggle snuggle” is not when your cat is trying to get away from you while you hug it.

    Please explain like I’m 5, and a non-native speaker, what “rawdog” means 🧐

    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.
