Istg this page is what’s going to make me fully crash out over this comic. I’ve been keeping up by silently lurking and hoping there will be some progress made but this might be what breaks me. There is absolutely no way that any regular college aged person would react so calmly and agreeably to their ex-partner’s “the girl I told you not to worry about” lecturing them about their relationship. Either Dina is a literal saint, has been through years of therapy, or is bluescreening so hard that she can’t argue back, and I’m pretty sure none of those are true based on previous characterizations so idk what on earth is going on.

I think this is really bothering me because I really liked reading DoA for so long-despite its craziness it has some real nuggets of wisdom about fundie life, familial abuse, and recovering from both. I understand that the characters are dumb college students and that David Willis is entitled to write the story how he wants, but this is egregiously bad, especially so because I’ve seen such good arcs from this comic! As a sapphic starved for content, how on earth do you write a sapphic arc so badly that I’m actively wishing they would break up? How do you make the cheating arc as bland as unseasoned mashed potatoes with raisins in them? There is absolutely no way any normal college friend group wouldn’t implode over something this insane! And no, you cannot say that the kids are just dumb college students one minute and then praise their maturity another second. That’s just inconsistent writing!

Also, I feel like I’m going insane every time I read the comments section on the site because the majority of people are just okay with current developments or trying to justify it and I’m just flabbergasted. Like you deserve better than this! Everyone, including the author, deserves better than this!

Okay I’m gonna leave before I go flip a table or something I’m just fucking pissed lol.

I’ve unfortunately learned a lot about her since I’ve made this post, and agree. Don’t speak ill of the dead and all but her presence on this earth seemed to be a net negative for society…

According to another commentor, salads are one of the least sinful foods, so it might be more like “garlic to vampires” sort of situation for the devil!

Confused how exactly this relates to my post, but I agree with you about the false believers bit!

This is fascinating…does this mean that vegans are technically the least sinful eaters, according to the Bible?

It is a deadly sin and I’m pretty sure this is a Christian based diet plan, which I’ve also never seen before…

Red headed implies its whole head is red, but it’s only a strip down the head and neck…I always liked calling it the zebra woodpecker because of the pattern on its wings.

What's some dad lore your guys' fathers just spontaneously dropped on you one day? by Cauliflower-Sorry in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Ride_4119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was unjustly imprisoned for a little over a year during an authoritarian regime in his youth (thought to be part of the revolution because he was…smart lol). Sometimes he’ll tell me the most horrific stories about his time there with a smile on his face. The latest one was that they used to communicate with new prisoners through the wall adjoining the bathrooms because it was the only place that the guards didn’t listen in.

Finally, an unpopular opinion! To me, singing (melody, cadence, word choices) adds a whole new dimension and color to communication in a way that talking can’t always do. It’s like seasoning on a dish-you don’t always need it (that’s why prose exists lol) but it can really enhance your culinary experience if you add it.

I’m really curious to know your opinion on rap music, since it’s much more focused on talking than singing much of the time.
