Grrl Power #827 – Peaches and pics
Rum raisin only works if you think peach cobbler should have raisins in it. My attitude with raisins is the same as it is with all fruit, which is that it’s not dessert unless it’s swimming in a sugar saturated glaze. Okay, a really good oatmeal cookie is surprisingly tasty, but that’s my only caveat. There’s a circle of hell reserved for people who try and serve fruit salad for dessert. And asian restaurants trying to pass orange slices as dessert? No. Just… no.
I’m not sure about mint ice cream with peach cobbler either. It might be one of those weird combinations that works well like cheddar cheese with apple pie. I imagine Harem discovered that particular combination using two different tongues and decided to try them in the same mouth. She would be the expert on weird taste combinations, as previously alluded to.
So Sydney’s glasses can do more than just display interactive crosshairs. She has no idea how to respond… by which I mean she doesn’t know how to use the interface to send a message back. And also it’s not like she’s the kind of gal to send an intergalactic sext to anyone either. In case anyone was wondering, the crosshairs and other stuff displayed to her on the inside of the glasses doesn’t show on the outside of the glasses.
Personally I’ve always been boggled by dick pics. As far as I’m aware, no one wants to see that. Like, sure, heterosexual females entering puberty probably develop a certain natural curiosity, but I always imagined after googling the subject matter the first time, the reaction is something like “…….huh.” or “……okay….” or even “Ew.” It’s not a handsome protrusion. If it’s the beginning of a relationship and both parties are still in that… third-date-everything’s-new-and-sexy stage, then a little digital back and forth is probably amusing, but beyond that, I assume that adult women have FAR less interest in dick pics than the men who send them seem to think.
That said, Sydney is obviously in that “wheeeeeeeners!” phase.
This was asked on twitter, but I thought I’d address it here since we’re all stuck at home and need more reading material. The question of Jabberwokky’s salary came up. Remember, she’s on a sort of work-release thing here at Archon. She got arrested after the fight at the restaurant, but unlike most of the other supers wrangled into Vehemence’s scheme, she had several warrants out for her. On the books, she’s being paid the same as the other recruits like Sydney, but about 90% her salary is being garnished until she’s paid back several medical bills and replaced a few police cruisers. Jazza wasn’t a “blow up a hospital” kind of supervillain. She was more the “knock over an armored car and hang around to scrap with the police” kind. That still leaves her with a few walking around dollars in her pocket, but she’s technically under house arrest (or in this case, Headquarters arrest) until she’s completed her training, so it’s not like she has a ton of expenses at the moment either.
Archon didn’t want people going out and committing relatively minor crimes in order to audition for the team, and they thought enforced compensation would diminish the number of chaos based applicants.

"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
I wonder what the second message is.
Nevermind, I miss read the focus here for 2 seconds as 2 new messages. I’m still sleepy.
Misreads happen.
It’s a very long message.
:-O
How double entendre of you!
:-D
up vote
yea i can see it. She is definatly slowly getting affected by dabbs
The next stage in cell phones – only IRL it’ll be contact lenses
Futurama already went there, with the eyePhone
Shadowrun went there years ago, I don’t remember if Cyberpunk had them or not. Glasses please I never cottoned to the idea of sticking my fingers in my eyes less so now. Glasses by the way are closer than you think, once they actually figure out how to cram all the tech need into them to make it work.
Id be perfectly happy with contact lens AR interfaces. I frigging hate my glasses; hey get scratched, they fit uncomfortably, they’re always dirty, they fly off my face when i move suddenly or lean over too long, and that’s not even getting into how unsanitary they are. How often do people clean their glasses vice how constantly they are next to their eyes? With contacts, they’re essentially being washed by your tear ducts constantly, and washed by hand daily with solution. The only upside to glasses is the ease with which you can remove them.
Optical sapphire, which is begin used to make glasses now. Just slightly less hard than diamond. Finger nails are filthy at a level I don’t even want to go into. Yes that is with soap and water you need a brush to get them actually half way clean and even then most people don’t get them clean. Trim them short brush to clean, still dirty germ filled disaster areas. Fake nails eww just eww long no thanks trim them please.
The company currently working on AR contacts are still several years away from getting even close to what is available in glasses form right now. Another issue with them is you don’t get audio, you have to wear headphones of some form. Newer AR glasses are working towards bone conductivity for audio, no headphones needed. The whole eye tracking is actually easier with glasses as well since the device can actually see where your eye is looking.
Correct way to wash your hands, soap water warm water to hot. Brush for finger nails wash hands scrub nails focus on the tips and under the nail as much as you can, keep nails short trim weekly. Washing should take rough 30 seconds if done right.
are you focusing on proper finger(nail) hygiene because you think you need to finger the contacts into your eyes? Because Ive seen people use a little plunger to put the contact into his eye without any finger to face contact at all.
Spring for the extra coatings and they’ll be very scratch resistant. Still not immune to owner idiocy, because paper products are made from trees and can scratch glasses fairly easily. So also spring for a few microfiber cloths. They don’t cost much and are very safe for glasses and also very good at cleaning both dirt and oils (your glasses sit on your face, they are subject to face and hand oils fairly constantly). Keep one in your car (I have one in my sunglasses case that I keep in the car), one in your bathroom (for when you wash off your glasses that are dirty all the time…), one in your pocket, and one at the workplace.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I still have glasses even though I have the option of lasik surgery – I like something solid between my eyes and the cold cruel world.
which will bring a whole new meaning to watching porn at work
The world will be a scary place when everyone has adjusted to having an AR system embedded in their head.
Good premise but I lost interest after the first few episodes
Awwwwwww, Sydney just was called by her furry.
next we find out she gets a notification of his spacebook account that says he has entered a relationship with a plucky spicy food eating human. And then she overheats in front of everyone with everyone poking and prodding at her if shes ok.
I can totally see the first part. Included, will be the video of her eating food spicy enough to literally make her a sideshow.
Given his employment situation, I’d guess that neither of them is under any illusions as far as the nature or exclusivity of their relationship is concerned.
I figure the next step for Sydney & Frix is Sydney figuring out how to send messages back. After all, she probably didn’t know anything about the email function until just now. I’m starting to wonder if Sydney is the type to reply with cheesecake pics…You know, real cheesecake with maybe strawberries on top.
Sydney was previously disappointed that he hadn’t said goodbye before he left Earth. So this is some affirmation that she wasn’t just a fling to him. Possibly she is just his girl at the Earth port, but this remains to be discovered.
SOMEONE has a date it seems :P
I too am going to have to try rum raisin ice cream on peach cobbler.
It’s GOOOD!
Rum raisin is scarce in these parts, peach cobbler less so. Plus I have this whole psychological thing about peaches… Not a pretty story.
you can also hollow out a sweeter (or in Sydney’s case, a hotter) pepper and fill it with peach slices, top it with a little brown sugar and cinnamon, and bake it. edible container.
Cobbler is pretty much like crumble, isn’t it? Because apple crumble and rhubarb crumble (and apple and rhubarb) are amazing. With ice cream, cream, custard or all three at once.
Get you a gal that looks at you like she looks at wolf boys package..
I should put an addendum here…without the childish laughter haha
As long as the laughter is excited I don’t care.
Yes, exited laughter is good, mocking laughter is not
Years ago I saw a “woman’s magazine” (I think Cosmo) on a magazine rack, and a blurb on the cover caught my attention: “The One Thing Every Man Wants From His Partner In Bed”. I rolled my eyes, and picked up the magazine to see what stupid gimmick they were going to talk about. The answer turned out to be “unbridled enthusiasm”. Oh my god, they nailed it.
Good point, that was very excited laughter. Mental maybe, but excited as well.
4 scrolls depicted in panel 9, slow scroll to increase tension?
Long package (remember when he stood up in the bath?)
Dude is a tripod.
Honestly, though. With what we’ve seen Deus mess around with, the glasses may actually not be above ALL the Earth tech, lol.
That’s because SmugD has illegal off-world tech
Wait, who made off-world tech illegal? Not us, if we’re smart. The Xevoarchy? Maybe. If SmugD can effectively ‘launder’ the tech through Earth-based R&D labs, then who’s to say we didn’t invent it ourselves?
I wonder how he reacted to her having a portal generator that fits into her pocket and works for free, when he had to build 2 large scale SUTs
. . . It’s somehow strange to see That many people that close together.
I doubt earth tech can send or receive intergalactic video telecommunications with a package as small as a fragile pair of spectacles. ;)
Cora probably left a relay satellite in orbit. So the glasses likely only had to handle the last few thousand miles, at most. Assuming they’re not just automatically routing through whatever is available, in which case they’re probably 4G.
Plenty of other space tourists, so I bet there’s already some human-stealthed satellites nearby.
But this reminds me – I want to know how Dabbler got connected to Archon. Did she approach them, did someone make a connection, did she get caught by someone in government who passed her along…?
Yeah, about Deus… what’s going on with him and his pals these days? Inquiring minds want to know!
You know…what happens to Sydney when those glasses break? I mean, we all know her aim is going to go to shit (for multiple reasons) but it’s a real concern. I know full well that glasses break (I wear ’em myself) and there’s NO WAY she’ll ever be able to get those fixed. So…
Why? This in itself has just shown an alien with access to that tech is quite interested in maintaining contact… dick pic or not it’s still contact :P
On top of that Dabs doesn’t want to hand out ‘her’ tech… preexisting tech needing repair I don’t see her having a huge issue with.
Why she could not get those fixed? She can reach the space station any time she wants and while those glasses are probably custom made I doubt they are technologically so much above what can be bought into a store there.
She doesn’t actually have any space money. As mentioned above Dabbler might be willing to fix them for her.
She can get some easily enough.
She is a starship and can do courier work.
That’s a good way to spread the news of her Nth-level tech to galactic civilization, though… especially if she needs to go somewhere new and has to ask for Gate coordinates.
She didn’t seem to have problem with buying Grakz portion for her “new friend” (who unfriended her soon after).
DaveB noted in the Author’s Notes for that page that Sydney going viral at that shop probably earned the shop enough business that the owner didn’t mind giving her a take-home container for free.
You are assuming they don’t have some sort of repair mode. Even on backwards worlds like Earth we have the beginnings of tech that can repair itself. I’d guess a galactic civilization hundreds (if not thousands) of years in advance might have self-repairing glasses. Minor tech to people who can travel light-years in a few seconds.
If this was a different platform, I’d give you an upvote. Exactly what I was thinking.
Not only is that true, but you also have to consider that those glasses are probably NOT made of glass (or plastic or polycarbonate currently used on Earth) and, therefore, FAR MORE resistant. I’d imagine them to be quite bullet-resistant, to the point of near-bulletproof-ness… ;-)
In my 15 years of wearing glasses I’ve never had the lenses break, always some portion of the frame. Sometimes scratched never cracked or shattered.
The refugees dropped off at one of their colony worlds?
Hopefully sufficiently self sufficient.
Suddenly cut off from the home world they might need to stock up on stuff they can’t make yet.
Or it might be a multinational planet run by The Galactic Federation.
You really believe Cora and her crew would do that? Just dump them on a sub-sufficient rock and leave them to fend for themselves? o_O
I don’t think they’d do it intentionally.
Not even accidentally: they would make sure the planet is safe(ish) and habitable (at least for the refugees), if not an actual colony world
“Ceti Alpha VI exploded six months after we were left here. The shock shifted the orbit of this planet and everything was laid waste.”
That is not Cora’s responsibility, unless you expect her to check the stability of every star in a billion light-year radius before dropping them off
Ceti Alpha VI was a planet. Still, yeah, not Kirk’s fault.
I don’t understand how my statement could be misinterpreted.
A world their people had already colonized.
Or…
A world where various people live together.
No one said lifeless rock.
It was the second and third lines, mostly, the rest? probably inattention and lack of reading details
“A taco is just a vertical sloppy Joe.”
As a resident of New Mexico, we take offence to that. That’s some fighting words right there. If your taco meat is anything like that, then you need to send that back to the kitchen and hit the door as fast as possible before you get food poisoning. Just don’t ask us how to make salsa… that’ll start a brawl with the arguments that will follow.
“This stuff’s made in New York City!”
“New York City?!”
“Get a rope.”
You all joke…. but we legit have salsa recipe competitions here and festivals. On top of that, legit question that I’ve started fights with people on.
How much tomato can you put into salsa before it stops being salsa and is just spicy tomato sauce?
That question has legit started fights because many people will call heresy for including ANY tomato in your salsa and others will have recipes that are mostly tomato. It’s a great troll move to pull at competitions and festivals.
Wouldn’t that depend on the size of the tomato pieces? Or whatever the legit pieces are?
I prefer Pico de Gallo
besides also the fact that sloppy joes are generally made with a different kind of sauce then tacos, I would think tacos to boot
I’m sure Dave simply meant that it’s hard to eat a taco without spilling the contents. I’ve found this largely depends on just how much fillings you put in the taco, if it’s way too much, you’re gonna have spillage, which is a waste of tasty fillings.
That one kind of depends on the tacos themselves. If you’re talking about hard shell taco, maybe depending on the quality of the masa. Typically the lower quality the more you’re going to have a mess… I’m looking at you Taco Bell. Soft shell and street tacos you won’t get that unless you’re just over filling them. At that point if you’re over filling them, it’s more about talent eating them and not getting a mess all over yourself.
For what it’s worth, as a dfab individual who is attracted to all genders- like. I don’t have much interest in just a straight cooch either. It’s floppy, oddly shaped and often messy- dicks too. That being said- A dick pic is infinitely more desirable to me if I can see way more of the guy its attached to. Like. The body is the hot part there. You ask for the tits, or the butt, rarely the straight genitals XD
Yeah, exactly this. The sexy thing is “attractive person is showing me their bits” not “oh look, bits out of context”.
Great explanation here, in the form of an interview with the author of the Tumblr “Critique My Dick Pic”: https://www.dailydot.com/irl/how-to-take-a-dick-pic/
“The sexy thing is “attractive person is showing me their bits” not “oh look, bits out of context”.” seconded, and well put, the human body shorn of context is rarely erotic. the appealing quality comes from the connection to other things, the evolutionary urge to have offspring, a romantic association, etc. that being said, as a he-human I have in my experience had a definite appreciation for being sent dick pics by people I have a preexisting sexual relationship with. I imagine the same would go for ‘cooches’
https://my.evilmilk.com/p/z/h/1zy-zhkf6.jpg
Sorry. This was just perfect for today’s comic.
See, I never understood the whole butts thing. We make waste from there. Nothing is sexy about that.
eh, way I see it what it does doesn’t factor in. Still nice to look at. Yet at the same time anal is kinda off-putting to me for that same reason lol
Yeah, Mother Nature designed that to be an exit-valve only…
In this case, it may also be one of very few earnest bits of beefcake Sydney’s ever been sent.
Hmm, just checked with the parental-unit, and she’s not completely sure if we have had straight mint ice-cream (other than in a Trumpet or Cornetto-type bar), at least, not in a long
Rum & Raisin on the other tongue, most certainly :D
As for what ice-cream with a cobbler (or anything else of that sort)…? Nope, none for me thank you, personally prefer them without extra’s, not even whipped cream (canned or fresh)
I guess Sydney loves what she sees. I need a pair of those glacess
HO-O-O-kaaaaayyyyyy… we have a fun toy here. Actually more fun than the latest stoopidfone with all the gizmos distracting our attention just before the world in the windscreen goes pear-shaped.
Here in Oz we have dull, idealistic and totally authoritarian laws designed to force us to enable blue tooth and get our paws OFF the stoopidfone while driving. Idealistic to the tune of $750 plus 3 demerits if pinged, AND the bikie-plods have helmet-cams to peer inside the car to get photo evidence.
Syd’s use of her Cora-specs looks like it could get her in a heap of trouble one day. I would never deny her the recreational use of them, but where the hell is the off-switch?
Just wait until Sydney accidentally starts live streaming classified mission briefings.
And she needs to set up a spam filter unless she wants to get messages saying “I am the deposed ruler of the Glernox empire and need to transfer my wealth out of the system. Click here to receive 10 million quatloos.”
Can’t say that I disagree with hands free laws. Authoritarian? Maybe. Necessary to keep irresponsible, distracted drivers from killing people? Absolutely. I’d like to see the law applied in more cases, like people putting on makeup, or screwing around with dashboard gadgets or trying to eat a container of kung-power chicken. Industry research has found that distracted driving can actually be worse than drunk driving.
That being said, I gotta wonder if the same people who are against ‘authoritarian’ distracted driving laws also think laws regarding social distancing or the prohibition of certain firearms are authoritarian as well? ;) #canofwormsopened
Depends on how they are written.
Where I live, they seem to have been concieved of by squirrels.
In a school zone a driver can be ticketed for a passenger in the third row of seats is consulting with a hospital and one of his patients.
There was no common sense in the bill and it sailed through the legislature and was signed into law by the Governor just as it was.
Yeah, that’s stupid. By that logic, having passengers at all that aren’t all unconscious is a ticketable offense, because they can distract. Pretty simple in my state; phone visible in hand while driving, ticket. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like authoritarian nonsense either. Sadly, humans are stubborn, stupid, and sometimes only learn things the hard way, usually at the expense of other humans. :\
:)
Blasphemy! A good fruit salad is a joyous thing, the problem is people make horrible ones.
My favourite is as follows, take 2-3 varieties of sweet melon (gala, cantaloupe and honeydew are my usuals, I’m not sure if watermelon would work but any sweet ones you can deseed work), cube or ball and marinate for a few hours or overnight in the syrup from ginger in syrup (optional add a splash of ginger wine/beer/ale), fine dice some of the ginger (or crystallised ginger) and add it. Serve with a lemon whipped cream/creme fraiche or plain full fat (10%+ fat) set yoghurt (I like the Kurdish best but Greek or Turkish if rich enough is good).
You can also add any stone fruit stoned and chopped or seedless grapes halved or pomegranate seeds to add to it though add at the last so everything isn’t so overpoweringly ginger.
I’m *so* reminded of the story “The Search for Delicious” right now.
My personal favorite is 1 part fruit of your choice, 2 parts jello, 3 parts whipped cream, all mixed together.
Strawberry jello with strawberry pieces being my favorite version, though oranges also work well.
How about peach ice cream?
Not if it’s a peach cobbler, you want something different, like wasabi ice-cream
Wasabi ice-cream is a niche product that’s alright with ginger cake or a matcha-based based dessert but isn’t very enjoyable elsewhere.
Cinnamon would be a better choice to complement the fruit. Or maybe caramel.
It was meant to be a joke :P
Wasabi-mayonnaise potato crisps are very tasty :D
I remember some years ago that a big snack food company (Frito Lay I think) calling for the public to submit ideas for new flavors. One that was selected was “Wasabi (&)Ginger”!
I ^loved^ ^that^ one! ^Very^ delicious!!
Rocky Road goes with anything.
Seeing how Peach Melba uses raspberries, I believe it would work well with a peach cobbler too…
One of the best desserts I’ve ever had was peach cobbler with thin slivers of jalapeno in it – just enough to “warm up” the flavor, not enough to really burn.
That would be a very Sydney dessert…
I’m finding that hard to imagine but I’m not averse to giving it a go. What colour of Jalapeño would we be talking?
Green. Contrast the reeeeelly thin slices against the peach. and the taste is… less chili, more passion.
I used to look forward to this comic coming out. It was my favorite thing on the internet. Then this thing happened with Sidney and ‘Mr. whole body pubic hair’ that left a bad taste. Maybe I’m just a bad person or misogynist or two faced; I dunno, but I kind of liked the idea of Syd being innocent. The author made it a point to not sexualize Sydney outside of the comic, despite the fact that there are nude drawings of most of the other females on the team. Now it seems like Sydney may as well have her own pornhub page. It diminishes the character for me and lessens the amount of enthusiasm I once had for this comic.
You mean Sydney who was drawn by that nipple-thingy and checked out the guy’s butt on page #18?
“That nipple-thingy” is not ringing any bells. Can I get a page please?
Page 18.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-18-free-boobs-for-all/ here you go.
The “Nipple Thingie” is actually referred to as a “Pastie” – they are typically worn by (ahem!) Exotic Dancers to circumvent nudity laws by covering the absolute minimum required by law to avoid getting arrested for indecent exposure.
That’s called misogyny
I could use those kind glasses on some of the more boring conferences I sometimes have to attend.
Is it just me or does Frix seem long by human standards? I know that we’re dealing with an alien but there’s a little bit of my brain telling me we should have visible genitals in that image.
Feel free to give me far more information than I probably want on the subject.
Just use your imagination.
Not unless he’s “up”. Male parts hang down – the uppermost point being within an inch of the bottom of the pelvic bone, and – as in this case – obscured by hair. If the picture went any lower, then you might expect to see something.
You may be confused by where it’s held when wearing speedos or similar. That, or not realising quite how much higher the waist is than the hips (unless it starts to sag…)
https://www.innerbody.com/assets/skeletal_system.png
Fair point, I had assumed that if he was sending pictures to his girlfriend he would be ready to go. Obviously I was also assuming that his biology was human like and we don’t know how close he is.
Now if Frix’s panel (8) was stretched down to the top of Jabber’s head (panel 11), we would have too much information.
Peach cobbler with rum ice cream sounds delicious, but not so much the raisins. I don’t like raisins with anything but raisins: it’s a texture thing with me :P
I hope there’s a way to disable message displays: more than anyone else on the team, Sydney doesn’t need any more distractions during a mission/fight.
Too much mouthfeel?
Sydney hasn’t discovered it yet but those glasses also have a subscription to an online book of the month club.
There’s a few fruit flavors that mint works well with. Usually it’s different kinds of citrus. I don’t think peach is one of them, though since I don’t like peach anyway it’s not something I need to concern myself with.
Mint and pineapple, in particular, is a personal favourite.
on a different subject, I started re-reading the comic from the link and realized that math totally has Vegeta’s hairstyle, and so now I read math with Vegeta’s voice.
With cobbler, its either vanilla or something derived from vanilla, like vanilla caramel. Anything else is just disgusting.
Vanilla or French Vanilla? Personally prefer French over plain, and haven’t heard of Vanilla Caramel
At first I thought Sydney was just doing a nerdy City Slickers reference, until I got to the end and realized she was actually giving an honest opinion. Either that or she got lost in the email and missed the follow-through on the joke.
[Rum Raisin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pbVxyL-Oe)
Screwed up that URL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pbVxyL-OeM
Awww her good boy is coming back to earth.
My favorite Chinese place, which sadly closed some years back, always had a dish of oranges, and (for repeat customers) a plate of pineapple chunks with vanilla ice cream. I miss it dearly.
And, um, a dick pic can be a fun naughty thing from time to time… But it’s way, way more attractive to see the whole person it’s attached to. Same thing with other naughty bits.
AFAIK: the dick pic is better if 1) the female actually likes the guy in question, and 2) it’s a picture of the whole guy and not just a blurry shot of a veiny potato taken at a bad angle and lit only by shame.
Agreed – this is the classy way to send one. You get a shot of the full upper body, including face, and looking at the d— is an entirely optional exercise, if/when you’re in the mood to do so. Even unsolicited, it’s not nearly as offensive as the classic version.
I am reminded, though, of https://thebloggess.com/2012/03/19/excerpt-of-lets-pretend-this-never-happened-a-mostly-true-memoir/ If you want to skip down to the relevant part, search for: “Today I had to talk to an employee who e-mailed a photograph of his” and read from there :)
Suddenly craving BBQ pulled pork on mac & cheese on a taco shell.
I’m not sure if you’re joking but a crispy topping on mac & cheese is totally normal so a crispy base should work, too. Plus, barbecuse sauce ontop is great so why not have the pork? It sounds good to me.
“Archon didn’t want people going out and committing relatively minor crimes in order to audition for the team”
They just want a standard display of your abilities, like ‘Tongue Fu’.
When did the “and/’n'” get dropped from Rum and Raisin/Rum’n’Raisin ice cream?
Next, you’ll be telling me Neapolitan has been renamed as Tri-Flavour, and worse.
Maybe it’s a regional American thing…
Just to throw in my two cents, a picture of a person that you’re already at least some degree of intimate with or attracted to, who is not either unkempt or outright dirty, which shows most or all of the rest of their body, is in a location that looks comfortable/inviting/etc, is prefaced by ensuring the picture is currently welcomed (see: demonstration of basic consent), and also happens to involve a penis, is generally a pleasant thing to see.
Frix demonstrates all of this – though it’s a little blurry on the ‘consent’ one and asking first would’ve been a nice touch, we can hope/imagine that having the scroll-to-continue line cut off at his waist was an intentional move – so like. I wouldn’t be complaining.
Weirdly enough other than consent (which non-feminist women are frankly just as like to have shit practices with as men, just on-average with less catastrophic results since they’re not socially expected to do initiations) nudes from women tend to already have all of these other elements. At least in my experience. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a nude from a woman that was just a no-context hyper-close-up of her junk. Probably because cheesecake is a lot more normalized than beefcake so it’s easier to passively pick up on the components of a good picture.
tl;dr: penis-havers, please don’t think the stigma of dick pics has anything to do with penises being unattractive. It’s about consent, the misunderstanding of appeal, and the conveyed implication that you’d settle for an onahole if it had a pulse.
Oatmeal cookies are okay, but they’re horrible if you were expecting chocolate chip. That is the flavor of BETRAYAL!
What if you baked chocolate raisins into them? Would that still be betrayal or would it be welcome?
Raisinetes in an oatmeal cookie are very good.
Literal Pro Tip: If you want to know if two flavours will combine, hold one item under your nose and smell it while chewing a bit of the other. Science.
Hard shell tacos are just taco salads before they fall apart. That is all.
A shell can be firm and not fall apart on first impact. Too many people just don’t know how to cook them.
Sydney has unlocked something with her orb powers that gives her cross-hairs during firing. Cool.
This same something gives her access to Space Email/Texts. Neat!
……waaaaait a minute, though. Is this same something *translating* into English for her? Shouldn’t this be the same (assuming) Advanced Alien Language that the “upgrade menu” and “warp menu” have?
…or are these abilities unlocked by her new alien friends?
Cora’s engineer fixed Sydney’s glasses and upgraded them.
Cora herself fixed and upgraded the glases
Try to read the post when the crosshairs appear.
Why would Frix not send the message in the language Sydney is comfortable with? o_O
Not to mention, he speaks American
Actually his translator does. I just hope the translator devs are better than the Corti…
