    The race against time to wash them sheets begins

    NOW

      Now I am imagining the cast in a Wacky Races style automotive race, even though I am pretty sure I have never seen a complete episode. Apparently one of the characters is named Dick Dastardly, which is a fantastic villain name.

    Why do I feel like Walky’s solution to getting the sheets out from under Ethan and Asher is basically going to be this?

        I love that Carrey accidentally did that perfectly, so he went back and threw everything down because it was supposed to fail, and i think the way he did it is so much funnier than if they just did another proper take

      My money is on Asher being the big spoon.

      Fun Fact: The farthest star in the Big Dipper is Dubhe, about 123 light years (approx. 34 parsecs) away.

      Dry humping, they never banged.

      They DID say it would be to completion, so like, maybe not the least awkward walk back to his dorm room, but not full-on sex.

            A little intrusive, maybe, but it’s not like they’re burning her pillow or something.

            As long as they just clean up the party, and don’t start “going through” her things, it’s fine.

              Have you considered exercising basic human empathy? It’s easy, I’ll walk you through it.

              So to start… You have some sort of personal boundary between what is your personal space that requires your permission to access vs publicly accessible, yes? Maybe your underwear drawer? The bathroom when you are in the middle of defecating? The inside of your nose? For purposes of this discussion, where the boundary is doesn’t matter, so long as you either have one or can imagine having one. Now take that feeling, and extend it to other people having a different personal boundary.

              Ah, but why, I hear you cry out, do they have a different personal boundary when mine is the Objectively Correct one? Well, have you examined why your boundary is where it is? Perhaps the difference is cultural, that that’s just how they grew up or what they’re used to; or perhaps it stems from trauma, a particularly controlling parent or ex or whomever who consistently invaded every aspect of their lives in the name of “helping”, and so now they push back against even what you would consider innocuous intrusions. Ultimately the reason doesn’t matter any more than it matters what your reason for you boundary is. What matters is that it is that individual’s decision regarding their own personal space. If in doubt, simply… Ask.

              I hope this has been helpful to you, or if not, I hope at least you feel as condescended to as your above comments are to people who don’t want others touching their shit.

                  “This person used hyperbole and said they couldn’t get into my mindset. I think it’s appropriate to deliberately and explicitly be a dickhole to them for it, that’ll surely help.” Like, what’s even the point of typing 258 words that don’t say anything more useful than “Fuck you, my uncle died from getting his room cleaned!”?

          And yet still that isn’t remotely equivalent to the situation you made up of rearranging stuff Dorothy cares about and throwing away her things it’s washing a bedsheet so their friend can have a clean one, since they are dealing with a hangover. That is just a nice thing to do. They could had ask about it yeah, but it’s really not that big of a deal. Doing something nice for someone as a surprise it’s actually a pretty normal thing.

              it really depends honestly, personally i’ve never smelled fishy (not to say i’ve /never/ smelled of course.) but something about masturbating in, sweating in, not changing underwear, and not cleaning yourself after causes a smell that if left alone develops into a spicy cumin scent.

        Yeah, just pouting a little at him bragging a little bit. Like, I doubt she’s terribly torn up about it, she WAS aware of their sorta “situationship” they had for a little bit, as the kids might call it.

        (The two never formally dated, but Dorothy was aware they were flirting, etc.)

      She can feel it any time. Ya can’t dictate how others feel. But definitely she should not act negatively upon it. If she feels negatively about it, she can talk to Walk about it in a healthy way. (and as we all know, every character in this comic has very healthy communication habits)

    Interesting to see how everyone is taking Amber/AmaziGirl’s split personality in stride.

    Earlier threads may have had Amber make comments that might have seemed obvious to us (the reader) but might have still been vague enough to assume she was just wording things funny. Now we have Amber outright stating there are 2 personalities, and Dorothy is talking about them as separate entities.

                  I voted in 2016. I’ve voted in almost every election at every level, since I’ve been old enough. I’ve been to court to get to vote in an election. Harris has decided she doesn’t want my vote. It is a choice she is making, to throw away the votes of the anti-genocide bloc.
                  I’m going to vote, but not for a candidate who will materially support genocide.

                  If there’s anything we can count on the United States having a lot of, it’s white people who REALLY don’t want to look like racists.

                  In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Harris got elected if only to become diet racists’ new guilt-absolving token:

                  “I can’t be racist, I voted for Obama Harris!”

                  @HueSatLight Not to put too fine a point on it but if you’re not going to vote for a candidate who will materially support genocide… you’re not going to vote. The options we have right now are not pretty. I’m personally inclined to vote for the candidate who *might* decide to stop supporting genocide if by some miracle there’s adequate political pressure simply to oppose the one who will double down and then do another genocide at home just for good measure.

                  Voting against Trump is the lowest bar for morality in the history of the world.

                  If you can’t even manage that much, you don’t get to pretend you’re doing it for moral reasons.

                  Also, *you’re* actively supporting genocide by doing it, so that facade falls away at the slightest glance.

              The polls are certainly not suggesting “the most one-sided election since the parties switched sides”. They’re showing a close race with Harris having a slight edge and having momentum.
              Unless things change drastically, this isn’t going to be a Reagan scale landslide. Or even a ’72 Nixon win.

    Does Amazi-Girl use “they/them” pronouns? I don’t remember that ever being specified.

    And Dorothy is specifically referring to Amazi-girl there, not the whole “headspace” (sorry if it’s not the correct term), so it wouldn’t fit to use the plural form, right?

          Regarding DID?
          “System” would be the term for the collective consciousness(es) and each individual is an alter. An individual with DID may also be referred to as a multiple, plural or the whole. As the alter who fronts most often (who is active most often) Amber would be the host and AG is probably a protector-type.

          Note, I am not a system. I have friends who are and have read a heap of books and zines by multiples.

Or don’t want people breaking into their fucking home and washing their sheets under the guise of “cleaning up after a party”. public service announcement, I guess. Mind other people’s privacy.
