This was so unfunny that I'm going to actively be less sarcastic to my kid from now on

Well it is a bit snarky...
Yesterday my son peed in the exact spot where I just finished cleaning up cat pee.
Showing dominance! Good!
I mean, if you can't even handle a cat, of course you'll have trouble with a human child.
Sounds like they cleaned it up perfectly fine both times.
That is cool if you want to be a cleaning lady for some public toilets, but parenting is a bit more than that.
Yeah, parenting is a lot more than just cleaning up pee. No one said it wasn't. It also includes cleaning up pee. I don't see what you're getting at.
Cats do not just pee in random areas for no reason. And them having a cat & kid do this very much indicates issues in regards to them.
Okay? So you handle the problem then. I don't understand why you think that the existence of a problem means someone can't handle it.
My mother once said "because of sex".
no way it's the comic lady from r/comedynecrophilia
Is this the original text? I remember pizzacake being funny..
It always strikes me as anomalous that there are some that feel compelled to comment that pizzacake isn't funny but don't bother expressing approval or disapproval of any other comics
Pearls before Swine is awesome. Same with Red and Rover. And of course the true classic of Far Side. And Bizarro is fun, especially the "seek and find".
Do you do that in the posts for those comics ?
No need. I just call out shit I don't like.
Then why did you reply with positive comments about unrelated comics?
You literally commented that people don't say positive things about other comics.
Ah you misunderstood. There are some people that comment positively in comics that they like and some that comment negatively in comics they don't like and some that do both. The thing that is weird to me is that, seemingly unique to this comic, there are people that feel they have to say that "it's not funny" just for pizzacake. This group is different from the group that comments negatively in comics in general. They don't leave comments, positive or negative, for any other comics.
Now if you make the habit of going into other comic posts that you don't care for and leave your criticism on those posts then you fall into the non-anomalous group that has consistent behavior. If you have any pattern of leaving commentary on the quality of comics then you don't fall into the group I'm talking about really. But if you only comment about comics on just pizzacake posts to just say they are not funny then the shoe might fit.
Did you express approval or disapproval for other comics in other posts?
It's about the comments and group discussion.
Vast majority of comic posts do not have any comments and I'm not going in for no reason.
No, I don't consider leaving a singular +/- comment a reason.
I just find it odd that some people are so compelled to comment or join in on the comments for just pizzacake comics.
I personally found this crap on Reddit and OP would make snide comments. Big turn off.
No, I have zero links as documentation. Just a memory of actually reading some dumb shit.
Yeah I found it there too. I think I was there for the start of all the drama. I didn't find the way she handled the the whole thing appealing either but I saw some of the initial harassment and the bans from the mods that followed. I think the bans were appropriate for the harassment. The thing I noticed that followed that was a bunch of sock puppet accounts that would show up and post the "not funny" comments. That was all they posted. Eventually people caught on to that and many of those got banned too but the pattern was carried on by others. I don't fault her for not reacting gently to people who's only contribution is to show up in her posts to tell her that she isn't funny. What's the point of an interaction like that? Also that it exactly echoed the sock puppet accounts always felt suspicious. It seemed to me that the normal reaction to a comic that doesn't appeal is to be disinterested and scroll on. That is what I see for most comics that just don't cut it, tumbleweeds in the comments. The compulsion to post about not liking it so consistently in her comics seems unique.
Well, as I mentioned, I don't even open comic posts unless I notice comments already listed. Then I'll add my $0.02. Since I don't typically like it, my comment will be in the negative.
Careful, I remember somebody posting evidence some time back showing the author was some hyper passive aggressive person who'd sic their fanbase on you.
I tried to find info on that but didn't see anything that supported this. Do you have a source or are you just repeating what you've heard?
This is what a quick google turned up
NGL that seems incredibly mild and doesn't really support your original claim.
The guys that push this story always leave out the loads of overt harassment that she did receive too.
Referring more to the comments and discussion in that thread rather than the comic, in case that wasn't clear. In any case, I have no personal experience or fight in this.
So you're just repeating some random people online who are complaining about a woman...who pushes back against some online trolls/haters?
Lol who gives a shit and why would you just throw out such a random claim when you haven't seen it for yourself anyway? Redditors, famous for reacting respectfully to women and women content creators.
Gross pizza cake has infested the fediverse
Truly a shit comic.
Human reproduction is the biggest con. The worst thing is, we're the ones fooling ourselves.
Never had any ambition or dreams that was greater than 1 life time? If not, yeah I could see how it's pointless to care for another human until its self sufficient.
If you want any part of you to achieve something past the one life you have, children are the only way ambition can continue. Hell even your kids could not want to continue but you got grand kids and so forth. One of them may. As parent all we so is provide Fondation for the dream to continue.
That seems pretty vain
Never had any ambition or dreams that was greater than 1 life time
Nope. That way lies delusions of grandeur. Life is short and I'd rather focus on living it today rather than worrying about a "legacy" I'll never experience.
If you want any part of you to achieve something past the one life you have, children are the only way ambition can continue
And that way lies the kind of entitlement that leads parents to think their children's lives are their own.
You aren't achieving anything past your life. Your kids are. Their ambition is theirs, not yours. Stop thinking you can take credit for it.
Let's be real here. You knew this going in. Condoms have existed for a while.
I've had the opportunity to foster kids three times in my life, and every time I would wake up in the morning with this incredible sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Having someone who relies on you and trusts you and genuinely wants to be around you as much as possible gives a deep sense of meaning to my life.
Being around someone with this endless curiosity and boundless energy is invigorating. It makes me feel young, in turn. And it gives me an outlook on life I haven't had since I was very young, myself.
And babies are fucking adorable! I cannot express how crazy cute babies are. Everything they do makes me smile, even the gross things or the grumpy things, because they do it with such naked sincerity.
Currently working through the official adoption process with my wife, because we can't have kids the old fashioned way. And my only real regret is that we didn't do this shit ten years sooner.
