The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Lol my wife works in a clinic with some folks that are a little messy, with messier SOs.
I get so much goodwill for just laying in the cut. Sending a meme instead of a mean text is apparently a hard hurdle to clear for some folks.
Relationships work best when you just do things.
Only job I don't touch is laundry. I'm perfectly fine doing it, but my spouse has the most convaluted ADHD non-system. When I do help I end up washing clean clothes and putting away dirty clothes because I can't tell what pile is what.
My wife and i kind of just fell into set tasks that we dont mind doing, but the other person hates. For example, i hate emptying the dishwasher, but i dont mind filling it. She does all the laundry, i do all the bathroom cleaning.
I'm a guy and this is me with my friends. Every time we hang out they have such boomer attitudes about their wives, one is even convinced that I'm gonna get divorced just because he did and views all marriages that way. It's depressing, but there is one friend in the group who agrees with me that our wives are our best friends and soulmates.
I've had the opposite experience. A few year ago a bunch of the guys I hung out with in college got together at a Wurstfest (German festival every November in Bew Braunfels, Texas), and got super drunk. All the married guys were talking about how they just loved their wives so much.
It was super wholesome.

Classic Divorced Guy

Wife and I joke about how we can never get divorced because it would be too awkward when we kept hanging out as friends.
But we also have a friend couple that did get divorced, and still hang out regularly on very good terms.

Some people are just better as friends than lovers and I think that's awesome if they can figure that out before doing irreparable damage to said friendship.
I remember seeing here on Lemmy a while back that a good boyfriend/girlfriend is a best friend where there is also an erotic angle.

Or at least a cute one
ACE
A Cute Engels?
Ventura, Cute Math Detective
Cutely fitting.
I was referencing Ace as in asexual.
Being "Ace Venture, Cute math Detective".... Fits
It's people who rush into relationships because they feel like they need one, instead of taking time to find your actual best friend forever.
If your friends trash-talk their partner behind their back, guess what they say about you behind yours.
You can't do that, 99% of old memes rely on people despising their spouse!
I saw this from another angle a while ago. Speaking to a group of women at work and mentioned I do pretty much all the cooking at home. One of them asked what I make and I got the impression she doubted my ability, she is older and perhaps basing this off her own husband.
So I listed some weekday meals I typically make, made a point that it is all stuff I make after work too because someone had mentioned not having the time to cook.
Sourdough pizza, egg fried rice and lemon chicken, toad in the hole, pie with roast potatoes and gravy. Then sometimes if we want a pudding I sometimes make rice pudding, or steamed sponge like a jam roly poly or spotted dick.
My wife enjoys cooking, I donβt really like it.
My wife hates doing dishes, but I find it a nice excuse to listen to a podcast while doing something menial.
Weaponized Competence!
Hey, a PizzaCake comic with a punchline! Keep up the good work!
Seriously, this one was actually a comic, and was funny!
She used to be so funny before she pivoted to "my haters are neckbeard incels" content instead of actual comics.
Edit: looks like she's been making better comics again for about a month or two https://bsky.app/profile/pizzacakecomic.bsky.social
And she's saying something positive about men.
Do you think she's OK?
Wow, you really know how to give compliments.
It was in earnest. I'm one of the haters and this got a chuckle out of me.
Same! I guess we wonβt get branded as incel misogynists this time for saying itβs not funny!
I remember my ex-wife telling me something similar - i wasn't even a very good husband because of my psychiatric issues which weren't fixable, but i gave her attention and wanted her to feel good. Seemingly the average hubby is failing even at this if the feedback she got back from her friends and colleagues was worth anything.
i still do wonder how good a pizza cake is
I thought it was a unique way of saying "piece of cake"
Sounds like a round lasagna with a crust or something like that.
Or a deep dish pizza, although the bull of that is sauce cheese and toppings so maybe a lasagna is kinda more accurate.
Cute. But there's such a thing as being too honest. If my friend is struggling with a specific thing I'm excelling at, I don't bring it up, or I downplay it. They'd never ask me to, but I try to be empathetic...
Er, and if your friend asked you directly how that specific thing was going for you, how would you handle that?
Again, I downplay it. If I get a massive bonus for Christmas and am asked what I got by a friend I'd said "yeah, I got a bit extra this year" or something. Not "I'm fucking rolling in it, bitches!" if I know they're struggling. Just an example...
I think there's a big difference between that and doing it when it's about a person. I'd imagine the conversation was something like "My husband can't cook at all, how's yours?" and she responded that he's great while the other women agreed that their husbands were awful. Would you instead make your husband sound worse than he is just to fit in with the group? How would you feel about it if it got back to him that you'd said that? Or, conversely, how would you feel about it if you found out that your SO was bad-mouthing you to their friends behind your back just to fit in?
I know for me, if I found out that my wife was complimenting something I did to her friends, that would make my day; if I found out she was downplaying something I thought I did well, it would make me feel pretty awful.
OMG! This is sooo me! (the competent one, not the social pariah).
