    24. Sarah does not look a day over 24….because when this comic started she was at least two years older than I am and I don’t know how old she is but now she’s like at least four to five years younger than me!

      She’s either 19 or 20, depending on when students in school system were allowed to start school. Because her birthday is in October, she probably had to wait until the year she turned 6 to start kindergarten. Because she’s now a sophomore in college, she’s probably 20.

          Turning 20, right?
          That still seems old to me. I was 19 my entire sophomore year and while I knew people who turned 20, that was later, in the spring.
          I think the usual age to start school has shifted a bit later since my time though.

            States have different cut off dates for school too. If she started in one state and moved to another half way through her education that would put her in the older group easily.

        So that the many friends that both of them have managed to collect can celebrate their birth and no one needs to be left out. They can still poke out and see all the people who are happy to know them while having the safety of a place to retreat to. It’s pretty ideal really.

    Hey, a question from a guy who is not ‘aware of all internet traditions’: Is there an equation for the “relatively younger age number you find flattering”?

    • Jamie
      Jamie
      November 18, 2019 at 12:23 am | #

      No, because it’s too individually subjective. The XKCD dateable age equation works because it’s calculating society’s opinion.

      (Age/100)+17
      (Age/100)+18
      (Age/100)+25
      (Age+18)/2
      Lowest age that if they told you they were still that age you would believe them.
      Age-1
      Based on your accomplishments and wisdom I would have guessed you were ten years older, based on your curiosity, energy level, memory, and agility I would have guessed you were ten years younger.

    There are different types of charming. Sometimes people are charming because they’re so obviously at ease with themselves, you can’t help but feel that way, too. Some people have a rough charm, some people’s charm is more smooth. There are a lot of other examples I could mention here but the relevant one is this one: sometimes people who are chronically socially awkward for one reason or another decide that instead of feeling anxious about it, they’re just going to OWN that awkwardness and live with it the best they can. It might seem like a lot of work at first to get through a conversation with that person who stares at their own feet and blushes the whole time, but that person’s learned to make themselves blurt out “Sorry, I’m just very, very shy” at the start and if you give them even half a chance you find out that they’ve really got some cool stuff to say. (And, yes, this is a real person – it’s not me, just someone interesting I’ve met.)

    The way Dina is written, I feel like she has that kind of charm.

    I will say this is more charming, because the other day I realized that there is actually a point where it’s not actually flattering to be told you look younger, in that my junior high teacher told me I hadn’t changed a bit.

    I’m 35, and I had frequent crying jags in the middle of class back then, so the thought kind of horrified me.

    Can Dina be canonically autistic? I really appreciate the representation as it stands, because I don’t see many characters who share my struggles (Dina is so relatable to me!) but I don’t recall it ever being explicitly stated, even though she shows all of the signs of it.

        Reading that reminds me of the times I’ve wondered if I might have some undiagnosed form of autism. It seems like I fit some of the signs, but not others.

          You don’t need to fit every sign to be autistic. As I have seen people say before, it tends to be more like a topping bar of symptoms rather than every autistic person is the exact same in symptoms. It can also overlap a lot with ADHD in terms of symptoms.

        Holy wow, I identify with that so damn much. That fear of being unable to connect. The conciously learned social masks. I know these things all to well. And ironically, knowing that someone else knows these feelings does make me feel connected, so thanks for sharing, Willis 🙂

    Dina has the charisma of a Persona protagonist and the awareness of John Egbert. In other words, she is perfect the way she is… except when she accepts dinosaurs bought with blood money from political campaigns. I can’t forgive that easily.

      November 18, 2019 at 4:54 am | #

      Wisdom is perception of the world around you, which she far exceeds other cast members on. Social awareness is typically a subcategory of charisma, rather than wisdom, since it relates to understanding and properly manipulating social expectations, rather than to general awareness / logical ability / life experience / intuitive deduction / other facets associated with wisdom.

    I’ve always appreciated how Sarah treats Dina kindly but doesn’t coddle her or act condescendingly. She takes her on her own merits and accepts that this is just the way she acts and thinking of it as ‘weird’ does not help at all.

      There might be some truth to that but to me that has nothing to do with this.
      Dina sounds like she thinks differently but never gives the impressions that she thinks other peoples feelings don’t matter as more than a tool to get what she wants. Nor does she treat anything that is really common decency as useless BS society expects from her, and when she gets things wrong in a way that might honestly upset people it feels like a honest mistake not a “mistake”.
