      Yes? If Dina says maybe, she means maybe. It wouldn’t occur to her to dissemble under normal circumstances, and certainly not when an accurate description of her reactions is the whole reason they’re doing this.

      Sometimes I feel like people just don’t get Dina.

        Oh, should probably add: I’m not saying Dina’s analysis of her own reaction is necessarily accurate, given her limited experience, just that it’s honest.

      She just wants repeated results before she switches it to yes. More experiments needed.

        It’s not scientifically determined unless you get repeat results. At least 6 times over. And you do need to control for confounding variables. So maybe more…

    Once they test all 347 fetishes on Dina’s list, they have to get into combos.

    Becky: “Okay, so I am wearing the dinosaur suit, but my feet are bare, I’m in clown makeup, and I am about to sit on a red balloon.” (Pop) “Anything?”

    Dina: “Negative”

    Becky: “Darn. I suppose there’s no point in trying it with this blue balloon?”

    Dina: “YOU DIDN’T TELL ME WE HAD BLUE BALLOONS, SWEET FUCK THAT’S HOT!”

              There are websites where you can take surveys– like you take one and your partner takes one– and then it just shares what you both indicated you were into.

              Though, yeah, vulnerability is a strength, blah blah blah.

                  Alternatively, it could be the basis for a dating site that only matched people who shared complementary fetishes.

              It isn’t – or shouldn’t – be a ‘ask and risk rejection’ thing. Rather it should be more share and compare.

              For example, my wife is a masochist, but not a sub. She enjoys the sensation of a fair amount of BDSM, but doesn’t care for the ‘play’ of it most of the time.
              I, meanwhile, am a bit of a sub myself, but I can play being a Dom, and I love rope play.
              So, when the mood strikes us for this sort of thing, we manage both having me do a pretty tortoise shell wrap on her (looks nice, but no real restriction) and then whipping her. The rope bondage does it for me, the whip does it for her, and everyone is happy.

              And that’s only the BDSM side of things. My wife and I both have some weirder fetishes, and often they don’t match up, but we do for one another because we love one another. ANd because, at the end of the day, it’s all about play – being playful with it, having fun with it.

                yeah, i’ve been having sex with a masochist friend lately, and while i’d never done anything remotely BDSM and i don’t really get much out of sadism per se (actually i like a bit of pain myself) i’m happy to oblige seeing how much she enjoys it. also, she’s really experienced and communicates super clearly, it’s pretty great.
                As for me, i’m really only in it for the kissing and cuddling, so that shakes out =3

          I’m not going to say that your True Love is going to necessarily be into every kink you’re into, because that’s not how people work, but if they’re going to judge you for even bringing up the topic to try to find mutual interests for potential exploration/experimentation, they ain’t worth your time and energy.

          (with the caveat that this is not First Date conversation)

        See, I’m concerned that someday I’ll be in that position again, and when I have nothing to offer, they’ll assume I’m lying.

        It was so much simpler with my ex-wife. Neither one of us had any clue about anything, so nobody had anything to be embarrassed about!

        Personally, having experienced acceptance (not participation) from an ex regarding mine has raised my standards in a way where if sharing that information resulted in judgement, I’d probably interpret that as a non-optimal relationship.

        Future dating for me is gonna be rough because I’ll always have a great relationship to compare it to

      If there are 347 fetishes on the list, it would make sense to test 174 of them at once. No reaction, it’s in the remaining 173, otherwise it’s in the 174.

      If it’s in the 174, test 87 of those.

      This would allow Dina to identify fetishes within log_2(347) at most 9 tests.

            Public Television broadcast a 17-hour version in 1990 – Four nights in a row, and simulcast on FM stereo radio. My takeaway from the marathon was Brunhilde about to launch into the signature aria, and remembering the famous “fat lady sings” saying, realizing that this opera’s Fat Lady was anything but fat – “Oh no, this opera’s going into overtime.”

        Sometimes featheries. But mostly just called avians. It rolls the tongue off better I think.
        Also, I don’t think anyone seeing you googled “What avian furries are called” would think you are into any of it. Chances are you would have done that a long time ago.

          I’m not worried about people thinking I’m into it. I’m worried that the search results would be of a sort far, far more raunchy than what I was looking for.

          And I’m also worried that the google algorithm would think I’m into it, and that would skew the results for everything I search for in the future.

          Look, I said I’m not worried about what PEOPLE would think. The Algorithm God doesn’t count.

    Dinosaur costume is kind of furry costume too, right?
    That’s must be what Becky got in her mind. At least, she tried.

    OK, so this strip can be read one of two ways. One is that Dina finds Becky in a dino suit to be intensely cute and adorable, but may or may not actually be arousing. Two is that she DID find it arousing, but is acting nonchalant because she knows Becky is still not comfortable with full intimacy and doesn’t want to push her before she’s ready.

      it’s definitely the second one. lip-biting and glimmering eyes are Willisese for arousal.

      March 6, 2022 at 7:22 pm | #

      I mean. Or you could read it the third way, which is just that Dina literally isn’t sure, because she’s only felt ‘pants euphoria’ once, and this might be a vaguely different enough kind of arousal that she’s marking it down as a maybe and to investigate further later.

Dina is so small and quiet that she goes completely unnoticed by most people for long stretches of time. She doesn’t talk much — she prefers to observe. People and how they interact is a puzzle to Din...

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.
theradr.bsky.social's user avatarRabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social ⋅ 20d
If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.

Right now, these sweet kids have no clue how impactful this period in history will be for them, but I hope they will be proud of the time they made the best protest sign ever: The green one that says “Trump eats boogers” #NoKings
Kids and adults standing on a pedestrian bridge over the highway with protest signs that say fascists out and no Trump no ice. The best one is green and says Trump eats boogers.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings
