In fact, if there isn't a doujin about one of the stacked ones with that title circulating I'll be a bit disappointed.
In the context of Japanese adult stuff it scans as "Savory woman". Maybe with a bit of "barely legal" flare, but not fully into the realm of *those* sorts of videos.
(Actual reason: "savory/meat-tasting woman" sounds like the title of a JAV or doujin).
(The real reason is because "Savory woman" sounds like the title of a JAV)

Why is the Umamusume food-oriented tie-in comic called Umamusumeshi when Umamimusume was right there.

"Money doesn't stink" doesn't mean "Bribery is good", no more than it means "Crime should be legal".
If you want to have a discussion about lobbying, that can happen. This is not a discussion about lobbying. This is about, to bring it back to the topic at hand, whether a politician formerly having a job as part of a private security company renders him congenitally unfit to be a Democrat.
Here is a list of the number of people who do not have material interests in maintaining the status quo in America: []
72 hours until I get to figure out how much of this ship has even tenuous canon basis vs. people shipping two women who were in the same room as each other.
Okay man, at this point I think you're yelling at someone who exists in an entirely different dimension from me.
Given that "filthy hands" is becoming the predominant line of attack in politics, I disagree that the idea of tainted money is irrelevant in the US. This conversation started with the fact that "Graham Platner was a security contractor, which erases everything else about him."
That's a job that's illegal, a job that's illegal and (probably, depending on what you're imagining) impure, and a job that's impure but legal, by the Bluesky moral system.
Making this a general point- there is a difference between seeing some forms of work as impure and seeing it as criminal. You, Bluesky user, understand this difference. Here's an example: would you take the money of a prostitute, a drug dealer, or an oil executive for your services?
Being a prostitute is illegal. Being a drug dealer is illegal. Being a lawyer for an oil company is legal. Being a cop is legal. This site wouldn't blink if you took money from the first two groups but would treat you as filth for taking money from the second two.
Yes. Slavery also, in a modern context, is illegal. As is being a hitman, a thief, a pimp, a drug-dealer, etc. There is a difference between seeing a given career as illegal and it being legal, but impure. You can see the difference between this on this very site.
Thus we get the pithy phrase for "All money is equally good, even if it comes from a 'tainted' origin." This is also why public latrines are called *vespasiano* in Italy, and *vespasienne* in France.
His son, Titus, was apparently outraged by this, saying "How undignified, that the Emperors of Rome are now nothing more than piss merchants!" Vespasian waved a golden coin under his nose and asked "Do you take offense to this odor?" "No." "Yet it comes from piss."
Time for some fun history- why does the saying "Money doesn't stink" exist? You can thank the Romans. In the first century, Vespasian, the Emperor at the time, leveled a tax on the urine from public latrines (which was used in tanning and as a source of ammonia).
Vespasian then took a solidus and waved it under his son's nose before asking "Do you find this odor offensive, knowing it comes from piss?"
It comes from a tax on the urine from latrines being leveled in the Roman Empire. When it was leveled by Vespasian, his son apocryphally said "How undignified it is that the Emperors of Rome now are merchants in piss!"
I've literally never heard of it, kind of sounds like another way to say "*Pecunia non olet*"- "Money is good no matter how undignified its origin."
Hot take- the fact that several high-profile "liberal" commentators on this site hold this opinion by implication or sometimes outright dated and then act confused why they can't pitch liberalism well is a significant contributor to Polisky sucking as much as it does.
LMAO there goes one of the QAnon holdout cells.
Like, even in a least-worst government system way.
Descriptive, not prescriptive- this is a viewpoint incompatible with democracy. Like, once you really, sincerely believe this, you can't earnestly endorse representative government. This comes right out of Thomas Hobbes's writing against suffrage for the commoner.
You know what professions were once considered evil- on par with being a prostitute or thief? Bankers. Bankers and actors. This is why they were largely occupied by undesired ethnic groups in Europe, like Jews. Of course, half this site thinks that's a good state of affairs.
Ouch SCOTUS
Nothing says "SCOTUS is losing legitimacy in the eyes of District Courts" like this extended footnote.
Actually, the rest of that section also screams "SCOTUS is losing legitimacy in the eyes of the District Courts"
Want to know what has an inextricable linkage with the belief that there are fundamentally *impure* ways to make money? Castes. Caste systems are almost always organized around profession, with the idea that some professions are "evil".
*HARVARD $2 BILLION FUNDING FREEZE BY US WAS ILLEGAL, JUDGE SAYS
Believing that "Money doesn't stink" I think is a necessary precondition or outcome of any society that tries to be even modestly egalitarian and/or entrepreneurial

I was informed by this site that the national party was trying to sabotage him.
I don't have a horse in the race, both primary candidates seem good, my position is more a broad-barrel point about how our culture has decided your money being pure is more important than your character.
Constellis/Triple Canopy, but yes. I will point out they are primarily security and training and that 2007 was 18 year ago.
Fear the Old Blood 🩸🧠👁️
Or, like, what an actual blue-collar guy's likely job is going to be. You don't become a security guard because you have good options, usually.
Hell, given the morality of this site, like 80% of all jobs are tainted- and that's excluding the ones who think that working for a living is *inherently* immoral because something something supporting the Capitalist hegemonic system.
"Money doesn't stink" was one of the notable virtues of America until recently and I think the obsession with making sure that the flow of coin is free of *kegare* is actually an issue.
If he was a hired gun who wants to make this country better, then he's a hired gun who wants to make this country better. That's still better than someone who went to Harvard and is from a white-shoe firm who is trying to kill three or four orders of magnitude more people through the law.
Seeing some accusations that Platner used to be a security contractor. If that sinks him in the primary, so be it. My position on this is firmly *Pecunia non olet*. I've spent money that came from drugs, and that wasn't just "filthy", it was earned outside the color of law.
Alternatively- buy out Santa's Land, repatriate the animals in it to actual zoos, demolish the place, and replace it with a statue garden honoring Cherokee history and folklore. It would be named the (My granny's name) Memorial Park.
PNGtuber for tomorrow has been made >:)
I will buy several of the abandoned lots in the Nantahala Gorge, demolish the buildings, and create a giant statue of the Uktena with "THE STRUGGLE MAKES LIFE MEANINGFUL" written on a plaque in front of it in six languages (Tsalagi, English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and Esperanto).
They think they're too clever for it all and can see through the work to what's real, but still get pissed off at the product and try to beef with the booker.
You could probably run a monkey in a blue tie against Cuomo and have it win at this point.
It's really amazing how hard Trump is trying to go for a dude who, I am going to be frank, will not win. This is not me thinking Mamdani is some generational political talent (although he well may be)- this is just observing he's up against three bags of dogshit.
The reason why certain people are in love with "all politics is kayfabe" is because they're smarks in the most pejorative sense.
On Earth 3 Bsky is mad at Jeffries for burying his Mamdani endorsement over 4th of July weekend where no one could see it, instead of waiting until September when it would have the most impact on a low-info electorate.
I'm like 98% confident they make a "careful, I bite" joke when they're first introduced in the plot, and it's not really a joke. (MP, for Reasons, identifies much more with dogs than people.)

FedSoc isn't interested in annihilating the multinationals that their patrons and upper echelon rely on for personal enrichment or making the President a King. They kind of want the opposite, bluntly.
This is why I'm skeptical of the idea that SCOTUS will just let Trump do infinity plus one tariffs or turn the NG into military police that answer directly to the President and who can make up their own laws and so on. You'll accept any old bullshit to get something you *want*.
Like, this is how I know they've actually exhausted their depth chart of lawyers. These aren't even legal arguments! They're literally just going "Hey, you're supposed to be on *our* side!" And this has, thus far, secured them, like, one win on the merits for something FedSoc wanted anyways.
It really is striking how many of the Trump Admin's legal arguments, that they are making in front of judges, are: 1) If don't acknowledge this power that we made up two weeks ago you will instantly cause the collapse of Western Civilization. 2) We will look real stupid if you rule against us.
It appears the argument they are keying up for SCOTUS is "The entire US economy will collapse if you take away this power from us that we made up 7 months ago", which 1) is facially insane, and 2) isn't even pretending to be about the law.
(And, of course, I've literally not heard anybody not paid to say it say that SCOTUS will entertain the idea that the IEEPA gives the president Infinity Global Tariff Powers, and you can tell that not even the guys paid to support it believe it because of what they're saying).
This is why I'm more optimistic about this than many other people. The GOP and the Trump Admin do, actually, respond to pain, and while this sucks for us they're putting their balls in the vice with the rest of us.
I mean, ditto for POTUS, but that doesn't mean the NIH are paying a cartel to snatch someone healthy-looking off the street, you know? China has a lot of people and I think they compel organ donations post-mortem there.
I mean, it could be true that the CCCP is systemically harvesting organs from their own people! But if it is, the fact Xi "Don't people like it when the prices are lower?" Jingping believing it to be true isn't informative one way or another about it.
I mean, I don't think so. I think Xi Jingping probably thinks that's true about China. Xi Jingping thinks a lot of things, most of which are wrong.
I mean, it's Russia and China, that shit unfortunately is *already* happening there.
Tyrants have been like this forever. Ceaușescu was drinking all of his calories in food purees because he thought it would make him live longer. The Dragon Emperor was like 10% mercury by volume before he died because hucksters told him it would make him immortal
The reason I know SM brain cookage is real is that people are taking this as an uncritical statement of fact and reality because Carl Quesadilla is spinning that narrative.
Putin believed that Ukraine would flop over and greet him as a liberator and Xi thinks deflation is good because the price number goes down. no shit they think that life extension is as simple as swapping out organs when they wear out. They're wrong though.
Putin and Xi are both men who are not especially intelligent and wise and they are growing old, and they live in countries where people will say what they want to hear out of fear of being shot or exiled if they don't. *Of course* they both believe they will live forever.
All of these therapies crashed and burned in clinic and most of the companies behind them have laid off 90-95% of workforce. You know, if you're curious.
Of course, since this is the UK, they will probably literally make a carveout in the law that it's not incitement unless it's against a cis straight Englishman.
That knowledge *does* explain why he has a snatched waist, though...
(The funny thing is that apparently, when it comes to Awakened that require robot bodies, Lucy just *defaults* to making them sexy women. Ulrich requested to have his prosthetic masculinized, which I guess arguably makes him a trans man?)
"Why does Lucy look like that-" because the personification of the Industrial Revolution decided her robot body was going to be a bad bitch with massive honkers and we love her for that.
Amusing little bit of trivia: because they're higher-dimensional spirits occupying household objects, all Awakened characters in Reverse have actively chosen their gender presentation.

I can't help but see this as a small PR coup for Reverse: the artstyle is one of the strongest things about this game, and "Our art is so good 'actual' artists rip us off!" is a real brag.
Lang Lang's team has taken the advert down and are "looking into it", but the CN community has already turned this into a meme. You see, one of the prominent villains in Reverse, Forget-Me-Not, uses a piano as a medium for his Arcane Skill, so...
And by "accused", uh... Left- Reverse's promotional poster for the side-story "Last Evenings on Earth", upside-down. Right- Lang Lang's advert for his "Steel Soul" concert.
...OMG, drama actually happening with Reverse, and it's, like, the funny kind! So, Lang Lang is one of the most famous concert pianists in China, and he's doing a concert in Huangzhou in a month. He posted a promotional graphic online that's being accused of plagarism.

If you share an Axios article, you should know that it was, at minimum, co-written by ChatGPT, if not just fully generated. Is this compatible with your definition of "good, vital journalism" just because they're bashing Dems?
