Alternatively the phrase suggests a wiener is cooked for protected sex so it wasn’t the best used metaphor in the first place.
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.
I mean… from the cat’s point of view that’s EXACTLY what it is emotionally.
So also not a struggle session that ends with snuggles?
I only recently found out the origin of “circlejerk”
Better played with a cookie in the middle
That’s called limp biscuit
They did it all for the nookie.
Rugby players tend to prefer a slice of toast.
A waffle is a fine substitute
I hope your shoes are clean.
Off my antidepressants and just rawdogging reality.
That’s… A valid way to use that phrase now
Not at work without some serious eyes
I’m blue collar lol I can’t relate to NSFW warnings.
Idk what you meant by without some serious eyes
That’s when something you say makes the white hardhats briefly uncomfortable.
Someone is going to feel so edgy when they use it as originally conceived unwittingly.
She should have barebacked it instead.
Prescriptivists hate this one trick.
Reminds me of the time I had to explain to a friend that twat was not a synonym for twit.
You’re friend wasn’t the first to make such a mistake. There’s a poem from 1841 by Robert Browning, called Pippa Passes, in which he misunderstands the meaning of the word “twat.” Apparently he thought it was the name for part of a nun’s outfit.
But at night, brother howlet, over the woods,
Toll the world to thy chantry;
Sing to the bats’ sleek sisterhoods
Full complines with gallantry:
Then, owls and bats,
Cowls and twats,
Monks and nuns, in a cloister’s moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!I once used the word twat around my then-girlfriend and she “corrected” me, insisting it was pronounced “twah”. Turns out she thought people saying it were trying to use the French word toit and mispronouncing it. No idea why she thought anybody would want to call somebody else a French roof.
Lookit’ this French Roof, over here, c’rectin’ people’s grammer…
eh, depends on context. Twat is pretty versatile
I learnt that when I was about 7 after shouting it at my dad in front of a crowd of people.
That reminds me of the time I went to a roller disco as a child, having just seen Mr Bean at the pictures that afternoon (this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_(film)). There’s a bit at the end where Mr Bean’s in a convertible waving at everyone he sees, when this hard knock rides up on a motorbike and responds with the middle finger, so Mr Bean naïvely copies the gesture and ends up sitting high up on the back of the seat giving the finger to everyone and no one. Ironically enough, I was too young to know what the finger was, so I just naïvely copied the gesture myself and started skating in circles around this sports hall giving the finger to everyone and no one. I don’t remember anyone doing anything about it either!
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.
Although it’s not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.
Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen
Maybe she’s a ranch user?
Michael Jordan Stop Get Help.Jpg
… Then you just ruin the pizza!
You gotta go to Edgar’s Bagels on 65th if you want ass check flavored bagels. They don’t skimp on the cream cheese either.
Gotta get that schmear on the rear
I’d get down on some of Edgar’s Fromunda cheese.
Terrible. Take your upvote and get the hell out of here.
Edgar’s Bagels: Another way to fill a hole.
I’d rather eat ass than this.
I’m too lazy to get my glasses, I guess I’ll just RAWDOG this post.
At least it’s not an I’ll informed engineer inventing new terms out of already existing terms.
Forgot my sluice gate goons raw dog this shaft work.
I’m almost ashamed this makes sense to me
The wild part is “gonna” got autocorrected and it was so much better
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
There are a billion more people on Instagram that will see a comic there than actually go to websites to read comics.
that’s why the internet fucking sucks now. Everyone’s too afraid to make their own site and lazily relies on the conglomerates of social media, which has reduced the internet into like 5 websites that repost each others content
Also seeing isn’t converted to income, especially on instagram. The more hardcore comic fans may want to see your work in full, may want to follow the story if there’s a narrative to your comic, see your arts evolution, etc. and they’re probably the ones that are far more likely to drop cash on merch for a series they enjoy. That’s why you combine the approaches, post comics on instagram or whatever to get the word out, and have a site so your hardcore fans can easily browse your work (with the added bonus of letting people who don’t fuck with social media also see it)
Again, or don’t, I don’t care. Post everything to facebook and twitter, make the internet just 2 websites instead of 5, refuse to have control of the primary platform your work is shared on, whatever
Yeah I was a bit surprised that Sarah Anderson doesn’t have her own site
Bit like an internet feudalism in a way!
Im OK with social media as long as it has RSS. But that also means no insta and no twitter.
Maybe they don’t want their comics browsed.
Used to be, you got one comic with the sunday paper. There was no bingeing your favorite comics you just waited until they came out.
My guess is they don’t have enough material for a whole collection yet, and they’re using social media as feedback mechanism
Used to be, you got one comic with the sunday paper. There was no bingeing your favorite comics you just waited until they came out.
I mean, this is true if “used to be” means “prior to WWII” (or maybe even earlier). Publishers have been putting out collections of comic strips in book form for a very long time - I grew up in the '70s reading Pogo compendiums published in the 1960s.
If they don’t want their comics browsed that’s their choice of course but it seems pretty silly. What if instagram deleted/bans their account for nonsense? Goodbye audience and archive of everything you’ve ever done
Used to be you got a free webhosting account and posted comics to a gallery on a shitty handmade webpage until you built up an audience or gave up. If you got bigger you’d move to a better site with a custom domain and new readers could catch up if they were interested. Achewood, gunshow, dinosaur comics, questionable content, xkcd, penny arcade, nedroid, etc all started about this way and many of them continue to this day. Use social media for promotion, not for archival
My guess is they don’t want to bother with people who aren’t willing to fuck with facebook, twitter, pixiv, etc. or they don’t know how to make a free website. Whatever, just means they lose the audience of people who refuse to use facebooks bullshit
Oh no, they’re missing out on those three people. lol
A lot more than that ignore the meta ecosystem.
The same reason we’re here instead of on Reddit.
It costs money to host things
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.
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
No, it really, seriously, doesn’t. People that rely on social media are just lazy and ignorant.
Yeah like $10 a month for a comic.
How much did they make by you seeing it here?
You realize people make money from social media, right?
Obviously not this one but the profitable ones.
18k likes and 2200 shares.
Yes, absolutely! But the suggestion to self host when you’re not even contributing to their income comes across as a little unjustified.
I’m not understanding your comment.
- Comment 1: Why do some comic artists only post to social media?
- Comment 2: It costs money to make a website.
- Comment 3: It only costs $10 to make a website.
- Me: The comic artist is not making any money right now from us on Lemmy.
- You: Social media platforms are profitable.
- Me: Yes, they are. Additionally, I believe that comment 3 is unfair because that person is not paying towards the $10 for the comic artist to make their own website.
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.
When you use the internet without an adblocker
You’re just
RAWDOGGING THE INTERNET
Someone once described LimeWire to me as, “having unprotected sex with the internet,” and they were completely right.
…and The Internet is a disgusting, filthy slut.
Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.
Quite sure that in that case the internet is RAWDOGGING YOU
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.
Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.
If you’re old enough, she’s correct.
So ugh where’d she post it again?
I thought that’s what it meant, too.
I’m old.
I thought that’s what it meant, too.
I’m young.
It’s a double entendre. It means both, but much more the “hook up” subtext.
From what I can find online, it originally meant what I thought it did, but quickly morphed into mainly being a hookup afterward.
It’s like the older “come inside for coffee” thing. It could be just that but much more common to use it as pretense for initiating some coitus.
Ok, but like the use of the word is correct as it evolved from the original meaning.
That dude is just explaining (albeit recent) word etymology to her.
It’s like porn - “art porn” is not the same as “porn art” (eg food-/history-/Earth-/map-/artefact-/engineering-/city-/justice-/penmanship-/sky-/human-porn etc).
Did you enjoy the joke?
Your mom enjoyed my jokes
Bit of a weird name for your testicles, but you do you
Never neglect the jokes!
Yes, that dude is gonna get raw hotdogs now.
Some context, this girl’s character is one of those people strongly against using swear words with bad meanings, so to her it’s quite a bit worse.
What a bore of a character premise.
Only if it’s a lecture in disguise or a “role model”.
As an actual character? Totally fine.
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”
Plenty, and I respect them more for it
It’s clearly making fun of her for going out of her way to never swear
