        Keikaku refers to a plan or strategy that outlines specific actions and goals to achieve desired outcomes. It involves careful consideration, organization, and implementation of steps necessary for success.

        “All according to keikaku.” (Translator’s note – keikaku means plan)

      I think sarah would have too much self respect to flirt with anyone in a relationship but i feel like sarah’s actual ‘flirting’ would be awkward like when she was talking/working out with jacob (even if she wanted raidah away from jacob)

      Dorothy and Becky are less outwardly hostile which can give a false positive if you’re expecting more open hostility.

        I think Becky would be fine with a dude getting into Joyce’s pants so long as Joyce doesn’t have a bisexual awakening.

        THAT’S gonna be when The Beckening will begin.

          No no, might be more hilarious when she finds out Dorothy might be bisexual for Joyce.

          Because she was already jealous of her, now her (imaginary) rival might become a real one.

        Yeah, and like there are different levels. If all your SO’s closest friends are also your closest friends, it can get tricky, but if you’re more just on friendly terms with all your SO’s closest friends (while also have other close friendships), that seems good to me.

          Yeah, it doesn’t seem like he wants or plans to *only* be friends with Joyce’s friends and have none of his own separate from her. He can attempt friendship with all of her friends and still have his own community. And Joyce can continue to grow and reshape her friend group over time as needed, too. There’s definitely a version of this that could be unhealthy, but the way it looks like Joe is approaching it here seems fine.

      I think he’s more trying to head-off the Swarm of “If you hurt her I”ll fuck you up” speeches by preemptively showing up and assuaging them that he does not intend such tomfoolery.

      He only has so many kneecaps and door hinges after all.

        Given the circumstances, it makes sense to show that he’s serious about Joyce. Getting to know your partner’s friends means you expect the relationship to last.

      He has that impression because in the fall semester, she kind of was. They weren’t best buds, but she was friendly with him.
      Then she retroactively decided she despised him, after she got jealous of Joyce and him. Then she seemed to accept Joe and Joyce together.

          She treated him like he annoyed her sometimes. Even if she was “just tolerating him”, she was friendly with him. And that would give him the impression that they were friends.
          starting at the oldest:
          https://www.dumbingofage.com/tag/joe+dorothy/page/13/
          there are a lot where they don’t interact, but when they do, Dorothy behaves friendly towards Joe.
          From his perspective, Dorothy being viciously hateful towards him in Taco Bell was an aberration that she apologized for.

      I think it’s more that Joe feels he has offered friendship to Dorothy. He’s been Danny’s best friend since forever and they have an existing relationship to build on. Joe is starting “cold” with Sarah (and has only known her one semester) and knows he has more work to do there.

      Why could I see her making The Face, pausing, then just watching

      Dina just shows up too because she is taking social cues from Joyce

      Joe and Sarah scream in terror when they suddenly notice two silent women just

      Staring

        Joyce walks in and silently does The Face. Joe and Sarah stop what they’re doing, also frozen.

        Dina walks in, sees Joyce doing The Face, sees Joe and Sarah, and does her own attempt at The Face that’s close but not quite right. She reverts to her normal expression, looks at Joyce for a panel, then does an exact copy of The Face.

    Joe! Joe you fool! You never finished Dorothy’s loyalty mission! The crew isn’t ready! You can’t go beyond the Core Relay! Joe!!! No!! You’re locking yourself into a bad ending! YOU NEED HER TO GET THROUGH THE SEEKER SWARMS DD: JOOOOOEEEEE

      The old Joe would get Jack permanently locked into saying “Fuck off”, making it harder to secure her loyalty.

      God, yeah, prior to his Working On Himself era, Joe would be the guy who picks every pro-Miranda conversation option and then also pisses Miranda off with shitty, obvious pickup lines

      Also he would romance Ashley in ME1 and not get why that’s the worst

      The people thinking a Dorothy/Joe/Joyce threesome happening are so baffling to me because I’m pretty sure Dorothy hates Joe as much if not more than Sarah

        I mean, not to speak for all the baffling people, but I have faith in Dorothy’s ability to see a change in a person once she looks enough and her ability to forgive? Because yeah, formerly Joe was a piece of shit, but he wasn’t an unforgivable one and I think Dorothy knows this??

        I mean, if you want to think Dorothy would dig her heels in and be a jackoff, you’re welcome to it. I think it underestimates her, is all.

      Joe: Yeah, but that’s always been the case. We’ve been friends for years, and you’ve hated me all that time, but it’s still felt like we were friends.

      Dorothy: Oh,god, am I Becky?

    I love that Sarah has reached a point where she is comfortable enough with her emotions to express, using words, that she loves and respects Joyce ❤️

    Also that Joe “gets” her, and that being the last hold-out matters to her, but also her approval will make Joyce happy.

    I think both Dorothy and Sarah have strong doubts about Joe, and are burying them in “we have to trust in Joyce to make the right decisions for herself. She is an adult. She knows what he was like and seems convinced he has genuinely changed; if he hasn’t, we can decide then whether defenstration, immolation, shattering every bone in his body with a baseball bat, or tarring and feathering him is most appropriate. Until then, we can give him a chance. For Joyce.” It’s not true friendship, and I can see him not realising how thin the ice he’s on really is, but it could also lead to something real.

    Prediction, we’ll get a timeskip past Valentine’s Day, so the strip continues the tradition of not explicitly stating the date. In that time, Joe has not only become friends with all of Joyce’s friends, he’s done it so extensively that he’s replaced her. He’s Joyce(2). But that’s ok, because Joyce will have done the same thing with Dorothy, she’s even already said she wants to be Dorothy. So all the Joyce+Joe shippers and Joyce+Dorothy shippers will be satisfied.
    Ok, so there’s no room for Dorothy(1) in this scenario, but eventually it will be revealed that all of that happened because Dorothy moved in with Mindy, and Joyce(1) took up the role of Dorothy to cope, and Joe played along.

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.

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
