I have a histamine reaction, digesting it is a-ok.

I just have a relatively minor, if uncomfortable, and short-lived allergic reaction that I have known about for a long time, but prefer to forget about.

Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.

I think a good deal of it is just really cheap, gross-out humor and, as others have pointed out, it's pretty misogynistic, even for the genre.

Surprised that the guy who named his strip after his son "the menace" and reluctantly introduced a Black character, but kept it as racist as possible, wasn't a better parent!

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

Yes, @tylerhower.bsky.social doesn’t really understand video games (even though the word entered the language in his birth year!) and, for that, he should be publicly shamed. He’s the worst.

Not the point, obviously, but it's super weird and un-American to call him "Mayor Giuliani." He hasn't been the mayor of anything for almost a quarter century, and it's not a noble title. It doesn't attach to his person; it's the name of a job. (Same for all the rest: "President," "Secretary,"...

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

Hi. Do you have suggestions for how I can dress for 115F degree weather? Also has to make me feel like it's 65F, takes no effort to put together, doesn't make me stand out, but also makes me look stylish, works for weddings and pool parties, is ethically produced, and doesn't cost more than $3?
