  • An asshole would tighten significantly under that trauma. Plus, the coal would singe and make brittle the surrounding tissues, creating an impassable butt channel. The solution is either a jackhammer, or, surgically open a hole on the other side, thread a chain through and out the asshole, attach it to the coal, and have a horse pull it into the ass.

  • It stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Short form for the framework of programs that provide equity to all people in work, life, whatever. Relevant because those programs are being challenged and gutted in a number of different countries.

  • Oh for the love of fuck... Searching a term and clicking on the first result is bad media literacy. News media literacy is part of media literacy, but the term covers a much broader range than your description.

    After citing a few sources, I'm done with this conversation. My point has always been: This comic doesn't generalize or make a negative statement about men. You can respond, of course, but I will not.

    From Media Literacy by Sonia Livingstone, Shenja van der Graaf:

    Media literacy has been defined as “the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create messages across a variety of contexts” (Christ & Potter 1998, 7). This definition, produced by the USA's 1992 National Leadership Conference on Media Literacy, is widely accepted, although many competing conceptions exist. However, media literacy research and associated educational initiatives and communication policy reflect enduring tensions between educationalists and technologists, policymakers and critical scholars (→ Critical Theory), defenders of high culture and defenders of public morals (Potter 2004). Media literacy is associated more specifically with audiovisual literacy, digital literacy, advertising literacy, Internet literacy, film literacy, visual literacy, → health literacy etc.,

    From the National Association for Media Literacy Education:

    To clarify what we mean when we talk about media literacy, NAMLE offers these definitions: Media refers to all electronic or digital means and print or artistic visuals used to transmit messages. Literacy is the ability to encode and decode symbols and to synthesize and analyze messages. Media literacy is the ability to encode and decode the symbols transmitted via media and synthesize, analyze and produce mediated messages.

    And Strategic information literacy: Targeted knowledge with broad application:

    Media literacy is the method of dissecting media content in order to critically analyze it. To do this, it is essential to look at media content’s underlying messages, its ownership and regulation, as well as how it is presented.

    ...After which the passage discusses violent television.

  • No, I haven't.

    No, media literacy is not the same thing as literacy.

  • So you don't know what media literacy is, either, hey? Generally, it involves reading a whole narrative in order to interpret the relationship between the different things being said as well as how the message is portrayed.

    Paying attention to choices the artist makes like, when they've drawn very masculine figures before, why they didn't do that with this particular character. Choices like how men aren't even mentioned... Unless there's some new kind of literacy I don't know about where you invent things and double down on them extra hard — because you can't identify rejection sensitivity for the same reason it's hard to see what a house looks like from inside of it.

  • Media literacy is dying.

    The first panel is relevant. The first character(who looks more androgynous than anything) implies women haven't been honest with them, proceeds to validate why women haven't been honest with them by reacting poorly to honesty.

    Surely, we all have experience with people who feel like they need to demand truth, like that isn't the default.

    It doesn't even mention men, it's about self awareness and maturity.

    Super weird that a lot of people just glossed over that first panel like it wasn't a fucked up thing to say.

  • Someone already mentioned the shared facilities thing that can lead to cross contamination. Another reason is: gluten-containing products aren't intuitive. Soy sauce, malt vinegar, a lot of sauces and seasonings, most canned soups(where I live,) and some cheeses contain gluten.

  • Former head chef who's worked in restaurants and production kitchens here. I made food for both immediate consumption, and package and sale. Food safety regulations will differ by location, as I once worked where three different regional health authorities ovelapped, but this is generally false.

    In a commercial kitchens we weren't allowed to sell expired food. The "Best Before" date is different, since it's related to taste/texture, determined through structured testing, best educated guesses and/or personal tasting.

    We kept dated boxes of products to taste ourselves every month, but also sent products to a lab to determine if the ingredients degraded or grew enough bacteria in different storage conditions to make it dangerous to consume. One caveat is when product quality degrades faster than it becomes a health risk, sometimes by years. Or, in the case of hard candy, probably never. In that case, companies might pick the longest range of time the product's been tested — and that's why you might see expiry dates on things that shouldn't go bad.

    Best before dates are guidelines, expiry dates are rules.

  • More people need to read this.

    Lotta people misinterpreting this as an all-men statement, not seeing how Character A generalizes women's behavior in the first panel.

    Almost like it's saying "people who think all women are dishonest might be dishonest, themselves."

  • When a guy wasn't taking my soft "no's" and arguing with my hard "no," I told him I was "on a filthy cunt of a period with blood-snot bursting out the vagoo."

  • Did you just link to yourself? Thought that argument was so good you came over here to point at it, let me know?

    Either way, your premise is incorrect because this isn't an argument, nor a statement. For all we know, it's an anecdote. Perhaps, even a dream.
