Yeah, I don’t care for the labels, I just try to pay attention to ingredents.

Everyone’s essentials will differ, for me it its things like canned veggies, jarred sauce, frozen veggies, canned soup - basically easy meals or sides to easily make dinner after work.

Yes, most of that is healthier than a TV dinner, but fresh is still better (and tastier).

I could learn to can or pickle my own, but that’s not with out its own difficulties.

Sure the staples are pretty easy, but a head of iceburg is a dollar while all the stuff with some nutritional value costs $3 for less per pound.

Going to the store with produce that isn’t already half dead, so it will last the whole week costs more.

Going the store multiple times a week for fresh produce costs more in gas and time (and “extra” buying). I end up with lots of fresh meals at the start of the week, but towards the end its all frozen or canned vegetables, which is a lot of salt.

Buying the juice, or any snack, not full of high-fructose corn syrup costs more.

Fresh bakery bread costs $5+, while a loafs cost $1-2. A loaf of wheat or multi-grain bread costs around $3.

It all adds up, and yes I am lazy.

Healthy eating.

It’s so much more expensive and effort than the mainstream stuff. Its easy enough to cut back on the junk foods, but the cutting out the processed “essentials” is harder.

Personally I think it should be tagged nsfw.

I like the metric I came up with the other day.

If you’d get arrested for showing it to a 16yr old, tag it. If you’d shoot your “creepy uncle” for showing it to your 16yr old kid, tag it.

It’s not that I think a 16yr old isn’t mature enough for this type of material, but it’s a lot different if a much older person shares it with them. When in doubt - tag it.

Same here… But in my defense the guy that runs the corner store near me has one, and Apu from Simpsons comes to mind too (the two have completely different accect btw

The original “The Princess Bride” by S. Morgenstern

I’d be in favor of using PG-13 as the baseline, not PG. A lot of the stuff here I probably wouldn’t show a 7 year old. Lemmy isn’t exactly a children’s site anyway.

NSFW tags can be used for anything you wouldn’t show a minor, but keep in mind this isn’t a porn community - adult topics and suggestive content are okay, but actual porn is not (unless we do want to allow it???).

Going with the PEGI ratings for sexual content might be a bit more helpful. (There’s a bit of interpretation leeway because this is written for games not comic strips)

This [sex] content descriptor can accompany a PEGI 12 rating if the game includes sexual posturing or innuendo, a PEGI 16 rating if there is erotic nudity or sexual intercourse without visible genitals, or a PEGI 18 rating if there is explicit sexual activity in the game. Depictions of nudity in a non-sexual context do not require a specific age rating, and this descriptor would not be necessary. Wikipedia

If I’m reading this correctly, PEGI 12 is if it subtly references sex in someway, or if a character is in a “sexy” pose; a “let’s Netflix and chill” or “is that pickle in your pocket” type of thing.

PEGI 16 is the sex scene on TV that your parents always seem to be watching when you walk in. It doesn’t show main parts of the act, but you know what they’re doing.

PEGI 18 is just porn.

From those descriptions, I suggest allowing PEGI 12 with no tagging necessary, PEGI 16 must be tagged, and PEGI 18 is not allowed.

I’d get rid of the last sentence of the wiki description too to make it simple - if there’s nudity tag it as nsfw.

Or even simpler; If you’d get arrested for showing it to a 16yr old, tag it. If you’d shoot your “creepy uncle” for showing it to your 16yr old kid, tag it.

I’d apply similar rules for violence, pegi 12 is fine, pegi 16 tag it, and pegi 18 is guro/NSFL and not allowed.

It looks like the asterisks in the spoiler title are messing with the spoilers.

↩️= return/line break, not sure how else to show that in code block without adding an extra empty line, which would break the formatting

Don’t be fooled by them! It’s delicious! It’s mayo but a bit more of a “spicy” flavor and some sugar. (Not like a hot pepper spice, just a mild spice? idk it’s hard to describe) great for sandwiches, horrible substitute for pretty much anything else that uses real mayo.

Whipped cream is probably the worst way to describe it, that’s like describing blue cheese as ice cream. Very different things.

Where does 5 posts and 1859 comments get me?

(Well technically only 4 posts because 1 bugged and duplicated when I made it)

Should just be a hint button that triggers the voice line.

That’s what mom calls them when they’re in trouble.

So the DOA? :D

I’d be more surprised if the government didn’t fine they guy reporting or require a lawyer to go through layers of bureaucratic nonsense designed to make it so hard to do anything the average person won’t bother.

Yeah, they are huge bottles sold individually…great for pouring a reasonable amount for many people.

Not as great for 1 person drinking it, unless you drink way too much, it will go flat before you can finish it. Never seen a 1.5l bottle before searching it now, that looks like something some one could easily carry with them to have soda all day long!

Soda bottles in the us shows both ounces and milititers.

Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.

Smaller bottles are in ounces (with the metric label just a requirement I guess - no one I know here talks about buying a 500ml soda)

Everything else is ounces or gallons, I’m sure someone will ‘umm actually’ me…but generally nothing else is metric; like milk and juice.

I saw that immediately, that’s so illegal. You should record it and report it to the appropriate 3-letter agency (no idea which one). Doubt you’ll get the money back, but making the assholes that run that machine deal with the government would be worth it to me.

Why stop there? Take everything away.

I know people have been trying to reason with you no avail.

Here’s my argument, stripping away the artist’s credit make you no better than AI. Take away the human behind the art and it might as well be ai slop.

Yes there should probably be a standard way posters attribute artists. So set the example you want to see. I agree, it is a lot nicer to read comics without the soid white borders filled with names, facebook logos and other crap.

If you want to crop panels to just be the comic, fine - but please at least put the artist name in the post description (which you do for some, so thank you for those) or better yet, just include both versions. You could put the original version under a spoiler so people aren’t forcibly advertised to, but if they want to find the artist they easily can, with out having to do a reverse image search.

I enjoy many of the comics you share and appreciate your active contribution to the community, but please recgonize by refusing to compromise on this you are becoming a negative presence here and only getting your self put on people’s individual ban-lists. All we ask is that you consistently attribute the artists in some fashion.
