  1. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    I'm mainly talking about how catching her father with another woman affected how Susan viewed herself and men most of her life. Yes, of course. Hence the ":)". But the Star Trek seems more personal to her.
  2. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    This wasn't anger. It also wasn't true emotion, but still, I don't think anger have specific exception: it's just that displaying anger won't actually reveal anything which could make them vulnerable. (Note that I agree this seem to be something they share.)
  3. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    Yeah, "not awful" cartoons Still, she evaluated the cartoons, not the cousins. She was talking about them hugging (situation), not about them (persons).
  4. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    ... what more personal stuff there is to know about Susan? (Yes, I know, they cut out the most personal bit. Presumably.) She said the CARTOONS were not awful. Nothing about the cousins
  5. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    Is this jumping to weirdness on list? You think? I don't think that's the reason, or at least not only reason. She might agree to help her because she don't wish what happened to her even to her enemy ... and Diane is not her enemy. Or she might agree to meet her (and not necessary help) because trying to avoid her would be hard and better to at least pretend to do it voluntary instead of waiting when Diane decides to meet her "accidentally".

    Rhoda, this is NOT nonchalantly. Too much of a good thing can make you sick ... I think Catalina looks younger now, maybe a sixth-grader? I think we can hardly say we SEE Catalina, with only her head visible.
  7. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    Sirleck we saw at the end of So a Date, so he's already been recently seen. Right. Actually, it does make sense to see what Magus is up to as well since we haven't seen him since T-Minus: Dark Allegiance. This could potentially have a Sirleck appearance as well if Magus pays a visit to see if any progress has been made, though I wouldn't count on it or at the very least, Sirleck doesn't mention Adrian, because Magus would certainly point out that it's wrong. Also I doubt Magus was watching any of them or else he would have seen Voltaire's little show, although he probably knows about the show at the mall. If he's aware of Voltaire's involvement at all, he's probably very suspicious of the Immortal. He is unlikely to watch them now, yes. Especially with Helena and Demetrius watching. But WHEN he appears in comics, it will likely be because his plan progressed enough Helena and Demetrius are distracted and he can try to do something with Ellen. Unlikely. That may be reason why we will see Noah and Adrian.

    It's even worse: evolution ONLY works by dying. Any condition not important enough to change number of children who survive long enough to have children will NOT be changed by evolution. Except by chance of course ... but that's unlikely. Hmmmm ... but it's not particularly enthusiastic about it, is it? Still, good information. You might be right but you shouldn't assume Good up to a certain weight, anyway. Too heavy, and it would strain your knees and hips more than is reasonable. Swimming and water aerobics are both great exercise, you burn a little extra keeping warm in most pools, and there's a lot less stress on the joints. I used to go to a pool that they sent cardiac patients to for rehab, and a lot of them would just start out walking from side of the pool to the other and back, until they got in a bit better shape. Just tell your inner caveman you live on the shore and you're getting some yummy seafood. I don't think caveman was able to catch a fish while swimming. Standing in swallow water, yes. But swimming was only for case tiger appeared on shore (possibly sabre-toothed one). Or, obviously, for the "more stuff to eat on the other island" case. Still, the "lot of tigers" strategy might work. Again, above a certain point, push-ups and pull-ups aren't going to happen. Picture strapping on a backpack filled with a hundred pounds of extra weight, and then doing your set of push-ups. Only the very fit, long-term strength trainers would be able to do it. If you do enough push-ups, you will never get that heavy ... yes, I don't think anyone is doing that many of them. I don't think it reached level of Ingress yet, and Ingress didn't had much success. I gave bigger chances to Wii, but it didn't catch up much. But maybe some future gaming controller for PCs will get game popular enough? There's evidence that the selective impact of helping the offspring of someone who shares fifty percent of your genes can be significant, evolutionarily. In other words, there's good selective reasons for an infertile or older individual to help raise the offspring of their close relatives. "Aunting" behavior is well-documented in a lot of species, and there are individuals in many species who outlive their own direct reproductive systems but stick around to help make sure the grandkids have every advantage they can supply. While true, it's apparently not effective enough. With her constant questions about when I get some children, I don't think she's trying to hide it. Sweating is not reason to not exercise. It's just reason to not do it in public. Overheating is worse I guess ...
  9. Story - Monday December 12, 2016

    Adrian Raven is certain. We have less confidence ... some very persistent cousin (many times removed). But yes, this makes more sense than Susan being elf without knowing. ... you think Noriko left because she caught him cheating with Pandora? That would put completely different dimensions to Adrian's self-blame ... Wait. How would that fit with Susan? We haven't seen Adrian (at least current time Adrian) since Death Sentence. And we know there's a plot in the process of being carried out against him. We've seen much of the Main Eight's side of things and while Justin hasn't been part of it, I don't see what bringing him in next would accomplish anything and we'll likely see him Monday anyway. If we're going to shift to another character I think Adrian would be it, Noah making an appearance would be likely as well, maybe we'll hear their opinion on what happened to Elliot at the mall? Makes sense. I mean, while Ashley would be most likely to appear next, the fact Dan talks about "someone we haven't seen in a while" suggests either Adrian, Noah or maybe Sirleck. Or all of them. We didn't see Magus for long time either, but he will likely appear with Ellen and she just was in this part, so ...

    Our brains might evolved from stone age but not from bronze age. It's just the brain content which got upgraded. And, yes, the base OS is still the same. Also, our survival depends more on brain than on muscles. Caveman wouldn't survive 10 minutes in city traffic. But brain can't run on fat, it needs sugar. Running is good: "Hey, inner caveman: the animals got faster. You need to build more muscles so we can catch them." Push-up is a typical example of exercise with feedback: the more fat you have, the more you exercise when you do the same number of push-ups. I don't think I will have problem with that. :) Unless the experts behind the most successful aerobic training game - Pokemon Go - got something even better for anaerobic Remember that anything which happens after the age of 50 is random. We did not evolved to survive beyond 50. If we would, we would have third teeth for example. And 50 might even be too optimistic ... woman get menopause when they do because so few survived that long (and that many pregnancies) it didn't matter.

    "Very little long-term change"? That's better that I assumed. I though usually the long-term change is NEGATIVE, because the body keeps slower metabolism even if you STOP with the calorie restriction.
  12. Comic Dec 7, 2016

    Yes ; she may later become ready for more, but I think even this doesn't match the definition of asexual.
  13. Story, Friday December 9, 2016

    Diane holding a high standard of cleanliness would fit if she used that when choosing which guys to "date", she wouldn't want to be seen hanging around dirty people. I just felt that the bathroom incident was another hint that Dan gave about Diane's possible relation to Susan, that despite growing up in very different environments, they still have similar personalities and quirks. Hmmm ... maybe she may hold high standard but not as high as Susan ... I definitely don't think she will use hand sanitizer. But maybe she would understand why Susan does. Also the fact that Luke has magic and Sarah, Tedd and Grace are unsure whether to trust him despite the fact that Sarah and Grace really want to see Justin get some action. ... Sarah maybe, but I don't think Grace would like to watch it ...
  14. Story, Friday December 9, 2016

    I guess, considering Diane found Grace and Rhoda in the bathroom, it would be understandable to hope they had clean hands. Still Dan did continue Susan's behaviour and personally I think it's an amusing quirk for a character to have. It was fun with Susan, but I don't think it would be as fun with Diane. Especially considering her much more social lifestyle would make it more complicated. The personal stuff about his mark and talent and why he doesn't want his dad to know, considering half the group already knew and now Nanase and Susan knows, it would really just be Elliot and Ellen left, Tedd might tell them but again stress that he doesn't want Edward to know about that. Everthing else that happened during the tournament would be safe. Of course after Nanase and Susan's visit the original idea wouldn't work Also, what else happened during tournament? Well, ok, Justin and Sarah got dates, but that's really not important compared to Tedd's talent.

    FYI, Kinsey's scale included "X" for "asexual." Which doesn't completely match her either.
  16. Story Friday December 2, 2016

    Great-Aunt in terms of them being a sister to a Great-Grandparent is how I always saw it, but my Grandparent's sisters were all just Aunts as well as my Parent's sisters. Some families don't care that much, especially if it's about explaining to children. My grandma's sister was always just aunt as well.
  17. Story, Friday December 9, 2016

    Both good places they should visit, but I would like to mention that there is lot in progress now and they don't necessary need to get in those places first time they meet. Especially considering Greg would likely need to be informed in advance. If you look at commentary, not even Susan was originally supposed to be clean freak. Diane's reaction is NORMAL - or at least, what Dan considers normal. No clean freak. I think that the idea was they will talk during lunch and maybe agree that this warrants getting together. Also, Tedd might not be in hurry explaining something so personal, so he possibly tried to postpone it as much as possible.
  18. Word of Dan Discussion

    If Dan posts on Monday, why check in Tuesday? (Besides OCD of course.) You underestimate the power of programming. I created special reader optimized for "checking which comics changed today". It has just two problems ... it doesn't work well if I don't check every day and it doesn't work well if I want to check several times per day. But I'm sure I can fix both when I get to it ... ok, maybe the reader is less optimized and more something I'm using because it's mine.
  19. Story, Friday December 9, 2016

    I don't think that would fit the data. Obviously, Noriko and Mrs. Kitsune grew together and I think Verres and Kitsune remained close until Noriko left. Afterwards, they still visited sometimes (note that Nanase remembers Tedd so withdrawn she though he's mute) but got more and more apart. But Dunkels and Verres likely didn't knew each other until Elliot met Tedd. And Mrs. Pompoms? Why should she have any connection to anyone else? (Meanwhile, you forgot Browns, who were apparently close to Dunkels.)
  20. NP, Friday December 9, 2016

    She might already be able to, if she can get that small in full squirrel, why couldn't she get that small in any other form? It might not be allowed kind of mixing ...
  21. Story, Friday December 9, 2016

    I though PTSD is already in psychiatrists area ... but ok, I'm not exactly sure what's the difference ... Susan apparently avoided both. Which was good idea, because if they get from her she killed vampire ...
  22. Story, Friday December 9, 2016

    Few weeks their time. More than three years of our time. Talk about perspective ... Yes. While interesting theory, it's just theory. They didn't needed to meet. If Susan somehow avoided psychiatrists, she might avoided telling anything to Mrs. Pompoms as well. In fact, they agreed to not tell anyone about knowing the other ... (I'm also curious how she avoided Mr. Verres ...)
  23. Comic Dec 7, 2016

    When Rhoda glomped Diane saying "Thank you!" Diane was clearly blushing, which continued even when Grace hugged her. (Looking really closely at panel 5 ...) ... ok. Objection withdrawn. Which confirms that her being attracted to girls doesn't mean she's not attracted to boys. I'm speculating that Diane doesn't consider what happened when she was dating boys as personal. That was like a job to her. None of that was personal. However getting close to someone who she does have feelings for might be very scary for her as she then looses the control she's had in previous relationships. Letting someone inside her armor is scary. That armor has protected her from being hurt, but if she let someone in she's vulnerable. Besides she's probably afraid of what they would think of how she's used boys before. She's very intelligent, and is probably aware that a lot of people thinks that she's been a bitch the way she treated those boys. She's got a small group of friends whom she trusts, but she's got some shields in place even with them, keeping secret just how much they mean to her. And that is what I meant by say that Diane might be uncomfortable with close personal relationships. Which means that while Susan is uncomfortable with PHYSICALLY close relationships, Diane might be uncomfortable with different meaning of "close". Under influence of transformation which changes her sexual preferences. Doesn't count. That's true but it doesn't mean they are unable to. I still think both are primary attracted to boy Elliot.
  24. NP, Wednesday December 7, 2016

    Grace would likely accept that challenge. We don't know if the cookies Mr. Kitsune talked about were bought, made by Mrs. Kitsune or made by Mr. Kitsune ...
  25. NP, Friday December 9, 2016

    Based on Dan's commentary it's obviously related, but we still don't know WHY it's mistake ... Not really. They still can just wait for the enchantments to end. I suspect the mistake would have something to do with either the enchantments interacting somehow, or ending in hijinks-causing order. And she's unlikely to notice as there is likely even more dark there than depicted. The boar was deliberately (although probably without understanding exactly what it was doing) feeding power to make its enlargement persist. It would certainly end sooner or later. I think it couldn't tap into ambient energy because it's animal and not person. No. Even "reality unto itself" enchantment would still expire. Only permanent thing (we know of) is the sex change Tedd can do, which changes base form. Vladia is a special case for EXACTLY the same reason as Grace - namely, being Tulougol Seyunolu (greater chimera). Transformations don't enchant her, they just change her shape and give her form. (Although, without being part lespuko, she can't mix and match forms.) Vladia never TRIED to change since she got that form - it's possible she could now change freely. Her full squirrel form is close, so it MAY work ... Maintaining the simulation have very small power requirements but it likely has some, and thirst will become issue after few days of real time (weeks of simulated time?).
