“What if it’s just a sexually charged embrace?”

I’m not even sure it’s (usually) editorializing as much as it is looking for a word that strongly conveys “lambasting” or “deriding” but is a) at least somewhat neutral, b) understandable to most audiences, and c) not overly informal.

“Slam” doesn’t imply some kind of bias toward one party; it literally just means “To speak badly of; to criticize forcefully.” Arguably the reason you’re more likely to see it in editorializing isn’t because it’s an editorializing word but because “someone said some mean-ass shit” as a class of story is ripe for (but not inherently) editorializing.

“Slams” has the benefit of being very short over something like “strongly criticizes”, and something like “attacks” could be more easily misconstrued as “physical assaults”. Like it’s kind of just the ideal word for this even though it’s goofy if you’re like me and imagine them body slamming the other party.

(Edit: Replied to wrong comment at first. Also, I see now you were responding to the scenario in the comic, not the use of “slams” generally.)

This is from the Babylon Bee.

I don’t know if you’re saying this is a tankie meme or just akin to one, but the former would be awfully confidently incorrect given a 10-second search returns the exact article.

It’s from the Babylon Bee.

So now you know exactly what’s meant by “universities”. Anyone who saw that and wasn’t immediately suspicious needs to work on media literacy.

Buddy, it’s picking the food you eat last so the flavor lingers, just dressed up in le quirky Tumblr speak. There’s no evidence this is an experience unique to, significantly more prevalent in, or meaningfully changed by autism.

Calm down.

Edit: Like there’s literally an extremely common English expression “saving the best for last” that’s near-universally understood to apply to things like food, media, performances, etc. I can’t even believe I need to explain this.

Huh, you know what, I totally skipped over the title mentally, but implying that makes it better is, uh…

Man, I dunno, I’m autistic, and I feel like this is one of those “quirky, relatable things that I’m going to baselessly ascribe to autism” posts.

This was in the context of COVID:

Nanjikana said he has taken some positives away from the experience, such as a forced break from the chaos of a global pandemic.

“I had no idea what was going on while I was out there. I didn’t hear about Covid or anything else,” he said. “I look forward to going back home but I guess it was a nice break from everything.”

Hilarious idea brought down by the AI slop thumbnail. The vulneráéilíties on that screen sure look OOTΓKAL.

Sexcellent

The Quark “Nice Cock” poster almost made me ruin my monitor with water.

Dear pesky plumbers…

I think the counter to that is that:

Social media users need to be plied with meaningless imagery to keep them focused for the three seconds it takes to read this. It’s absolutely fucking pathetic.

Also tells me this is 100% a barely functioning piece of trash they whipped up with an LLM like a whiny, shit-smearing toddler.

I mean, yes, I did win an argument on the Internet; it’s just not something to be proud of. Wrapping getting your point destroyed in a warm, fuzzy blanket of “the other person pointing out an obvious contradiction I left dangling almost like a baited fishing hook must be a loser lol” is unsurprisingly pathetic and insecure.

You mean like how you spelled “proofreading” as “proof reading”, not even the uncommon variant – “proof-reading” – that uses a hyphen?

“We should take Munich, and push it somewhere else!”

The fact she was on the ship is by its self a reason to test for it

Did you even read the full quote? By the time her tests were back in 24 hours, she probably would’ve been on death’s door had she still been on the ship. They clearly got her hospital care as soon as they landed, and I seriously doubt they were sending her home.

I’m sorry, but the fact you’re calling it “Hanta Virus” tells me I should trust the doctors/epidemiologists and Spain’s health minister more than I trust some rando on the Internet spitballing “well they should’ve just done [thing]!!” Her condition began deteriorating literally on the evacuation plane, and she seemingly got care basically as soon as possible.
