Pizzacake is a popular comic artist over on Reddit. She gained popularity mostly because she is extremely active in the comments of all of her posts. She is constantly chatting and attempting to make friends.

As for why she is disliked, there’s a few reasons.

The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.

Another is that she won’t stop talking about how people who don’t like her are sexist. She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.

Her jokes also tend to be the easiest possible punchline for every joke. this has a kinda weird double effect because it means that her comics are extremely applicable to most people because they are generic enough that you can fit most of them into most situations. On the flip side, if you don’t like one the comics… You probably won’t like any of them… They’re all similar enough to be mostly indistinguishable other than the topic itself. along that same train of thought, if you like one… You’ll probably like them all.

As for my own opinion, I don’t really care one way or the other. She’s fine. I’ve heard accusations of her paying for likes on Reddit for promoting her own comics and so on but honestly I haven’t seen any proof myself so I can’t confirm or deny any of those.

I’m not sure how to change the default browser that the Google news feeds opens up to on a pixel phone. Ever since posting this though I’ve been looking at other launchers with a need feed that let me open it in another browser.

Unfortunately it’s based on crypto and is almost entirely right wing propaganda

The default themes (both light and dark mode) are low contrast. I don’t know why anyone would have gray text in light mode but they managed to mess that up.

The new update doesn’t care about people with accessibility concerns. My fiancé can’t use the official app at all because they changed the contrast to make it impossible to read no matter the theme. The best they can do is 3-5 minutes looking at the official app before they get a headache and have to stop using their phone.

This update is actively harming its users with no options to undo it.

One of the biggest downsides is visible. The color changes make the app unusable for some people and my fiancé had to stop entirely because it gave them a headache every time they tried it no matter what theme they used.

My theory for the behind the scenes:

McFarland: I would like to make a star trek parody!

Fox: oh sounds awesome, lots of funny jokes and stuff. Should be funny.

M: yes haha, funny.

F: yes… Anyway here’s the money

Making episode one

M: I gotta make sure there’s loads of jokes so I can show this to execs and they see the haha bits

Making episode 3

M: okay I think they’re gone… Time to just literally make normal star trek episodes

making the last episode of s1

F: hey I see you’re almost done with the first season so I’m just checking in that the show is still funny

M: quickly adding in as many jokes as the last second as possible haha yes humor! Jokes! Plenty of them! Haha yes

I also think the US should be launching less stuff. The difference either way is that the US is putting up functional items with thrusters to help it move around and avoid obstacles while North Korea is putting up junk that will just ram into stuff.

Notably, the US has always been hypocritical, calling them out for that doesn’t actually mean anything anymore. Everyone knows the US sucks already, this time they just happened to suck and be right about how we shouldn’t be letting nonfunctioning hazards be launched into space.

Space junk is pollution, it’s bad for scientists who study space as well as space photographers, and it’s extremely dangerous for astronauts. I don’t know why we wouldn’t object to this.

I can do audiobooks and such just fine, for some reason movies and shows recently have made a lot of the audio really hard to hear/understand sometimes. I watched Oppenheimer in the theater and I feel like I miss.half the dialogue in some of the louder scenes.

I used to be hardcore anti-subs but then I started to realize that a large amount of English movies are mixed in a way where you can’t understand anything that’s going on anyway (thanks Christopher Nolan) so I have subs on for everything now because I can more consistently experience the entirety of the movie/show instead of my understanding of lines being up to if the director was upset that day.

Idk if I would really call it any of those. Characters in it are those but the episode itself was constantly showcasing that these things are bad. One thing I especially liked was the parts where they had to learn how women move since practicing being a specific gender is a real thing trans people do and deal with.

Throughout the episode multiple characters are being shown being misogynistic, transphobic and so on… But then being that is now shown as good it’s being actively shown as part of the problem with the ferengi that they are trying to solve.

I haven’t yet finished DSC yet but I highly disagree with that last bit. Every single Star Trek has been “Star Trek but…” They all do it very differently and that’s what makes each one so incredibly interesting to watch as a group instead of just 1 long series. From what I’ve seen of DSC it’s basically just “Star Trek but… It focuses on the characters” similarly to DS9 in that way.

A lot of great SciFi stories are just characters talking but it’s in space… That’s most Asimov stories actually… so DSC is definitely sci-fi and very much so sci-fi.

Which group?

Who do you think built the means of production in the first place? I’ve never seen a rich guy in a suit laying down bricks all day to build a factory.

True but I can afford premium. I can’t afford every single persons patreon.

The secret is to dress as a superhero and buy a costume that’s too big. Put your jacket under the costume and it just looks like muscles.
