    Dina’s like one step away from going “science is my rifle, intellect is my blade. Care to do battle? I thought not” in this strip and it’s legitimately the funniest thing I’ve ever seen her do.

    I love Dina. She’s always been a really great character and she never really lost that as she rose in prominence in that usual way for long running series where a small scale character gets some popularity and eventually you have an entire modern TV show about a guy who looks like Boba Fett.

        How about ‘compelling animals otherwise heavily inclined towards political competition to not tear apart the next generation’s support structure’? That also accounts for non-romantic love and touches on stuff like the gay uncle effect.

    The explanation to Sarah’s schadenfreude mechanism remains unclear, but that is no reason to assume that it is magic. When something is unexplained, one cannot simply fill the gap with some placeholder fairy tail to explain it. When something is unexplained, it’s just that: unexplained.

          Heterodyne is the name of an evil cyberpunk megacorp but instead of building killer robots or AIs they’re just aggressively straight.

          The badass cyberpunk rebel will storm their building and then they’ll complain that everyone’s picking on them and if they were gay then everyone would be fine with the corporate dystopia.

          “Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology” is a lot older than Girl Genius. ISTR Larry Niven way back in the 80’s but the earliest appears to be 1984.

            The Foglio’s variant is a little different – “sufficiently analyzed”, not “advanced”. It also doesn’t necessarily hold, depending on how your magic works.

            The original is of course Clarke’s 3rd law from 1973.

            There are a ton of variants, my favorite of which semantically equivalent to the 3rd law: “Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.”

    Booster appears to be looking into the viewfinder at the top of the camera rather than holding it at arm’s length and staring into a little screen on the back, as one would expect of a DSLR.  Makes me think Booster is old-school and still shooting on film — probably Ilford HP5 or Kodak Tri-X pan black-and-white for the true retro touch — with an ordinary SLR.

      Uh what? DSLRs all have viewfinders, that’s where the SLR part comes in. Even mirrorless cameras have EVFs, and Booster having an interest in photography will likely use something that will have a viewfinder. It’s very likely it’s a digital camera, there’s a LCD on the back of their camera.

      DSLRs still have optical viewfinders, usually through-the-lens prism ones too.

      But then again, college student. DSLRs are expensive, but 35mm SLRs are cheap and generally use the same glass. They just cost a lot more per shot (if you can still find a place that develops film on-site), but the pretentious might argue that means they have to carefully pick and choose their shots carefully instead of popping off a dozen and keeping the good one.

        Yeah, looking through the viewfinder is no indication as to whether its a film-based SLR or a DSLR. For me the clue that it’s a 35mm one is that whilst lots of people will look through the viewfinder of a DSLR while taking the photo, they’ll normally look at the screen right after to see if the picture has come out okay, and Booster isn’t doing that.

        (exciting camera based revelations)

    Booster’s role as newcomer and observer works well with the photography hobby. (Or was this for a class?)

    Puts them in a position to where showing up in different places or around other people and for it to be pretty explainable.

    Also, this plot continues to be delightful even with Booster.

    Dina, please don’t buy into the dogmatic stupidity of “magic vs science” thinking. Acting like someone is unclean because they used the word ‘magic’ or similar phrases to describe something is prejudicial thinking at its most blatant, and is just about as ‘unscientific’ as you can actually get.

      Yeah, I was having similar thoughts. This is basically how the other side of the “War against Christmas” hardcore atheists like to react when somebody wishes them Merry Christmas and it bothers me almost as much as the religious pushers. If somebody does not intend active malice when they talk about something special to them, and are extending genuine goodwill, why not just take the blessing (whether you believe in it or not) in the spirit it was offered? Otherwise, without the ability to compromise, we will all devolve into warring tribes with whom the only ultimate outcome is subjugation or death. And I think that would be a very sad world to live in.

      She’s not yelling because belief in magic is unscientific. She still talked and was somewhat friendlyish (yes, a lot of qualifiers) with Joyce when she was very much religious. She’s yelling because she was made part of something she stands very much against. They had a connection founded on a lie. It’s a different argument.

    Just because we haven’t worked out a way to measure it doesn’t mean that something doesn’t exist yet. It just means that we don’t have a way to detect or measure it.

    I’m not saying that I believe in magic. I’m saying that you shouldn’t base your idea of reality too closely on what science is and isn’t able to prove. At least not just yet.

      If we have no means whatsoever to detect it, you have no reason to believe it’s any different from any other fancy that pops into your head. Which makes it exactly as real as unicorns and the GOPs conscience.

    To Dina, it is preferable that Sarah observing others being in a bad mood made her happy, rather than believe that Sarah was happy due to some “strange action-at-a-distance” phenomena without basis in science. Better to be an asshole than a magical thinker.

    At this point I would like to see Dina react to a Religious Scientist. There are quite a few out there that see Science as human kind unfolding God’s creation and understanding it as best as they can.

    Partly why Suvi from Mass Effect Andromeda was one of my favorite characters in that game. It’s a unique, but true to life, perspective to see in a Sci-Fi game.
