Look, just get the hands so sugared up that they’re vibrating in quantum superposition for every possible time, and then it will ALWAYS be right, kinda.
THAT IS TOO HOW QUANTUM MECHANICS WORKS! (It’s known as a pure sugared state!)
Still a passing grade! Ill take it.
Honestly not enough people talk about how a C means you still know a significant amount of a subject. Like a 50 is an F. But like in anything else getting Halfway isn’t all that bad. A 5/10 ain’t all that bad depending on the topic. But like 70%? That’s a lot. Like if I had 70% odds to win a roulette I’d take the risk!
Nobody gives a crap about your grades once you have actual work experience as references, so maybe people do know that to some extent. As the saying goes, C’s get degrees.
Some people don’t even get C’s but still have the paper at the end of the day. Post covid, post Trump world has taught me surprisingly incompetent people are in high ranking positions. Get by however you can. Even have 70% of the qualifications is more than most. And sadly Robin is not the worst teacher we’ve seen. I still remember Ms. Thinks women can’t do math.
Yeah you think it’s all an organized, sensible system, and then you get a job and you realize everyone’s making it up as they go along and the rules are mostly a joke. You go from “why is this so fucked up?!” to “how does this function as much as it does, why isn’t it MORE fucked up?!”
(note: it is still quite fucked up overall, just less than the grinding components would make you think it is)
I remember one of my friends explaining that there’s some rockets where the builders just sorta…Pounded the parts into place. Like you think it’s super secure, riveted thing where everything is in place but apparently (at least based on what my friend says) some of them are just kinda mashed and wedged together in the way you might wedge a car part into place and say “yeah, that ain’t goin anywhere”
I thought so too, but when I enlisted in the army reserves, at the age of 35, I had to provide my university transcripts, which I thought was a little strange, I would have thought just providing my degree would be enough, but no. And to make things really strange, I had to submit a copy of my high school marks, which I thought was really stupid, as I had already provided proof that I had a university degree.
They didn’t actually care what your transcripts said and your marks were; they wanted to know if you were an organised enough person to have kept them. This tells them what roles you’d be better suited to.
50 isn’t an F where I live. Granted, it’s the last point BEFORE failing and it’s not actually the number grade that matters, it’s how hard it is to get to that number grade, so it’s all kinda relative.
Much like 1 to 10 scales and personal ranking in general I guess.
For me, It is incredibly rare for me to personally rank anything a 10/10. That implies that it is perfect and literally nothing could be improved about it. I know that there’s people who rank 10/10 a little looser. It’s probably why I don’t actually leave many reviews. If you actually asked me how many things I think are 10/10 the list would be super short.
Hm…
I think FLCL is a 10/10. Probably helped because it’s so short. There’s not a lot of room to add anything and I think the brevity helps every single moment feel significant. The animation is phenominal, the characters are great, the voice acting in both Japanese and English manages to be equally fantastic (which is rare for an older anime.) It’s pretty phenominal.
Also the manga “Shiori Experience” Fantastic art. Fantastic story. Great if you love music. Despite being just a visual medium you FEEL the music. The way they draw the songs being played you can absolutely feel what they’re playing. Probably my favorite manga of all time.
Space Dandy is perfect. Even my least favorite episode of that show is perfect.
Looks like you do it more often than I do. In my ratings, there can be only one 10/10. That is reserved for the best. If something turns out to be superior, then the previous 10 gets bumped down to 9.
I actually think that was true at my university too, but not through my grade school years and that’s what I remember better. I didn’t have Ds until college. (insert joke about growing boobs here)
Place and time I grew up 70 was a C- and below was a D at best. Undergrad was kind of the same except there was usually a curve. Grad school, anything below a B- was failing.
https://i.imgur.com/3O2h6zb.png (NSFW) https://i.imgur.com/tlVZxZm.png (NSFW)
Alright I’ll say this whole project has been pretty self indulgent up to this point, but this part is absolutely going to be my most self indulgent.
(also there is an (attempted) visual reference in the final panel of the 1st strip.)
Story so far… https://imgur.com/a/9Ob1cy3 (NSFW)
I find that hard to believe. This is a very chaste and pure fan work, with only the purest intentions of depicting a strong relationship between friends on a rewards program.
Looking back on the rest of this thing, I think you may have subconsciously been inserting a lot of sexual content that I didn’t notice at first. Like, when Billie put Wally’s dong in her pie hole and started moving her head up and down, was that meant to look like a blowjob? Cuz reading back, it sure looks like one hell of a blowjob. There’s a few other things like that in there, but I never like to presume an artist’s intent.
Dear Taffy, that was obviously a metaphor for the push and pull of their relationship. How sometimes Billie is a friendly to Walky and how sometimes she’s distant. And she fluctuates between the two wildly and rhythmically. I was really trying to be a bit subtle there, so it’s understandable it might look a bit suggestive to someone.
I’m glad you concur. Up until now we’ve only actually seen her with Ruth who can kinda…match her intensity. So I thought “oh, if she’s with someone like Walky she would absolutely have to take the reins.
That’s like…70% of why I wanted to do this thing. Which, as I specified above, is quite a lot!
What does “self indulgent” even mean in the context of making smut? If you’re not drawing something that you personally find arousing, chances are most other people aren’t going to find it arousing either. Just keep chasing whatever feels good to you.
Is that “story so far” link up to date? When I click it I only see up to the point where it was the last time I clicked it a few weeks ago. I’m not sure if you haven’t updated it or if it’s some kind of weird caching problem on my end.
😛 There are actually several parts in the comic that WEREN’T self indulgent due to the fact that my tastes are very specific. So if there’s parts of it you didn’t find hot, it might’ve been those. But if not, well, then I did a good job of lying 😀
Becky’s God wears cool sunglasses and drives a motorcycle and tosses her a beer, and she catches it perfectly and cracks it open and takes a big sip and her God’s like “Hey, slow it down, you’re gonna choke” and He does finger-guns and pops a wheelie and drives away.
And then Becky remembers she doesn’t like beer and is also underage and drinking in public, so her God circles back around and snaps His holy fingers and it’s actually a Barq’s root beer now so everything’s cool again.
So my understanding*:
“Miss” is meant to imply unmarried when attached to surname.
“Mrs.” implies married.
“Ms.”, at least at the time it was popularized, was an ambiguous compromise between the two and more of a “My marital status is none of your business and should not affect how you address me.”
* I grew up in Texas, and it would be well after I was twenty that I would learn that in other parts of the US “Miss” was an age-sensitive term of direct address. If “Miss Smith”, frex, is not common usage, or linguistic shift has made it so (which wouldn’t be surprising or unjustified), then I am easily wrong.
Yeah, I thought “Miss” fell out of favor as a title for adults because it sounds diminutive, and “Ms.” (pronounced more like “mizz”) was one-size-fits-all.
I was taught that if your birth surname was X, and your husband’s* surname was Y, it would be:
Miss X (before marriage)
Ms. X (before or after marriage) or Ms. Y (after marriage, if you wanted, but mostly never heard this)
Mrs. Y (after marriage).
In my experience (California) miss (younger) and ma’am (older) are the age-sensitive terms of direct address.
*when I was taught about this, I didn’t know about the existence of same-sex relationships, and the school definitely wasn’t teaching us about their existence
Imposter Syndrome is feeling like you’re not actually competent at a job you’re actually good at; I presume Reverse Imposter Syndrome is feeling competent at a job you’re supposed to not be good at.
As a mere mortal, don’t go fucking Ghost Rider. Apart from the bones and fire being uncomfortable, just imagine that Penance Stare in the middle of sex.
Unless that’s the part that really does it for you.
Since Becky doesn’t believe in hell I’m guessing Becky’s issue is like when kids with decent parents have those who go ‘I love you but I’m disappointed with your decisions’.
Problem is good parents would more say that if you say did something actually wrong like idk slept with your siblings/best friends partner or whatever not that you, an adult, had sex in general.
No specific stories: it just seems to be a repetitive thing on Reddit. Basically the affair partner your spouse went for is your sibling which really makes getting over being cheated on more difficult since your sibling betrayed you too. Bonus horror points: they get married and have kids!
Jeesh. Maybe that works for some people, but I’d be in a living nightmare with no escape. I guess at that point, all you can do is move away and go no-contact on ’em.
Or something similarly designed to downplay the severity of the situation.
“My brother wants to move in with me but I said no.”
“My brother asked me to be the godparent of his kids.”
“My brother asked to borrow my car and I declined.”
It’s sweet how Becky want to inform Robin about what happened and do that not with her usual enthusiasm but talking with her almost embarrassed, telling her about her fears too. Robin is really important for her♡.
Is Becky saying this is in the room right in front of Joyce?
Also why would anyone on Earth 1) follow Robin’s advice or 2) tell her such an intimate detail?? Becky has first-hand experience on what a colossal piece of shit Robin can be, so it just seems bizarre to even approach her.
I think it’s while the class is leaving so the average amount of background noise would likely cover their conversation.
And I think Becky is looking for some sort of affirmation from Robin, since it looks like she feels Robin had a hand in pushing her towards “sinning”. And it’s obvious she is still wrestling with how serious the “sinning” was.
Robin’s definitely not the worst teacher, since she is actually teaching students some stuff about politics. Just not what they’d normally learn from a political science class, probably.
Robin was a Republican senator, so I have to assume she is Officially Christian. Whether she actually believes in anything is another question; frankly I sometimes doubt if she even really believes in other people, never mind mysterious sky spirits.

Loved that show, and its theme song! <3
like how even a clock running backwards is correct four times a day??
Pretty sure Robin tries to make her clock run backwards so fast she’s right 4 times a minute
Look, just get the hands so sugared up that they’re vibrating in quantum superposition for every possible time, and then it will ALWAYS be right, kinda.
THAT IS TOO HOW QUANTUM MECHANICS WORKS! (It’s known as a pure sugared state!)
For Robin, that’s how Cadbury Creme Egg Mechanics works. Quantum superpositioning through sugar-rush overvibration!
Throw enough darts and you’ll hit your target!
But, Robin, maybe just earn to aim a little…
I’d give Robin a solid C, maybe even a C+. Not great by any means but better than expected.
Still a passing grade! Ill take it.
Honestly not enough people talk about how a C means you still know a significant amount of a subject. Like a 50 is an F. But like in anything else getting Halfway isn’t all that bad. A 5/10 ain’t all that bad depending on the topic. But like 70%? That’s a lot. Like if I had 70% odds to win a roulette I’d take the risk!

I remember one of my friends explaining that there’s some rockets where the builders just sorta…Pounded the parts into place. Like you think it’s super secure, riveted thing where everything is in place but apparently (at least based on what my friend says) some of them are just kinda mashed and wedged together in the way you might wedge a car part into place and say “yeah, that ain’t goin anywhere”
The Soviet Union, back in the day, might fabricate a nose cone for a rocket by pounding metal with sledgehammers until a nose cone shape was achieved.
Hammering metal into shape is a legit metalworking technique. Several techniques in fact.
Keep in mind that traditionally, rockets were not meant to be reused. So you want something that’s guaranteed to work, once.
“What do you call a doctor who passed his classes with the lowest possible grades? Doctor.”
I thought so too, but when I enlisted in the army reserves, at the age of 35, I had to provide my university transcripts, which I thought was a little strange, I would have thought just providing my degree would be enough, but no. And to make things really strange, I had to submit a copy of my high school marks, which I thought was really stupid, as I had already provided proof that I had a university degree.

How many things do you think are 10/10, Yoto?
Hm…
I think FLCL is a 10/10. Probably helped because it’s so short. There’s not a lot of room to add anything and I think the brevity helps every single moment feel significant. The animation is phenominal, the characters are great, the voice acting in both Japanese and English manages to be equally fantastic (which is rare for an older anime.) It’s pretty phenominal.
Also the manga “Shiori Experience” Fantastic art. Fantastic story. Great if you love music. Despite being just a visual medium you FEEL the music. The way they draw the songs being played you can absolutely feel what they’re playing. Probably my favorite manga of all time.
Space Dandy is perfect. Even my least favorite episode of that show is perfect.
And that’s it off the top of my head.
Shiori Experience is incredible and everyone should read it.
Speaking of, a new chapter just dropped!
Looks like you do it more often than I do. In my ratings, there can be only one 10/10. That is reserved for the best. If something turns out to be superior, then the previous 10 gets bumped down to 9.
I misread it to russian roulette and was very worried.
To be fair, unless you got a 10 chamber revolver I think the closest you could get is a 65% chance with a 4-2 ratio.
But yeah, I wouldn’t play even it was 1-100 odds.
At my university, 70 was a D.
I actually think that was true at my university too, but not through my grade school years and that’s what I remember better. I didn’t have Ds until college. (insert joke about growing boobs here)

Self-indulgent? Ha! Everyone is very much in character here!
Hey wait a minute. I think these two are like, having sex or something.
I find that hard to believe. This is a very chaste and pure fan work, with only the purest intentions of depicting a strong relationship between friends on a rewards program.

Aaah, I see, I see. That makes perfect sense now, thank you! It’s always nice to get some insight into an author’s intents.
How’s it going Taffy? Just wondering, no worries if ya don’t wanna answer 🙃
It’s goin’. Dealin’ with some sort of sinus-murdering sickness that’s got me sore and dizzy, but it’ll pass.
Sorry to hear that fam fam! 🤒
Hope you get well soon!
Be sure to get plenty of bed rest, take medicine (😉), drink plenty of fluids, and if possible get some light exercise too!
Lmao, this exchange has got me in stitches
This is…Very much my perception of Billie/Jennifer in the bedroom and I’m glad I’m not alone in that.
I’m glad you concur. Up until now we’ve only actually seen her with Ruth who can kinda…match her intensity. So I thought “oh, if she’s with someone like Walky she would absolutely have to take the reins.
That’s like…70% of why I wanted to do this thing. Which, as I specified above, is quite a lot!
We saw that with Danny, too, that one time she tried to… is ‘seduce’ the right word, you think?
I’d probably say something more crude like “jump his bones”
Yeah, I’m with Walky.
I fuckin love the panel design in that last one. The sharp angles really sell the intensity of the moment.
Also, I like Billie lying about her recent orgasm and telling Walky not to flatter himself. Pure gold.
Not only does it look cool, those smooth transitions in position always feel really cool to pull off. These two are really goin’ at it.
i may have caught that visual reference
anyway, good thing billie got serious because this was a bit frivolous so far. i appreciate a story that takes itself seriously.
*ding ding ding* Winner winner!
I won’t say that panel is when I fell in love with Billie…
But it helped.

Now there’s a glimpse of the Robin we know and love. Here’s hoping it’s a sign of things to come.
(not in a “DoA Robin bad” sense, but in a “I hope this version of her manages to become a batter person in the process of self-actualizing” sense.)
With all the pastries she eats I’d argue Robin is already a batter person. Robin strikes me as a “lick the spoon” kinda gal.
Seriously I could just spend all day watching her lick spoons! 🥰
You can’t just let good cake batter go to waste! Or a good typo.
More like licking the bowl.
And she already kinda has become better, a bit, and she’s on deck for more.
Alt text fucking got me, time to go to sleep.
Awe, right now?
Got plans, I understand, but still.
Robin, I think that one specific thing is a thing you don’t have to worry about.
Becky, while Robin can give you valuable advice on many things, I’m not sure religious trauma is one of them.
So doesn’t this confirm Dina’s guess that Becky considers them fucking a mistake?
I hope Dina finds out, I don’t think it would make her happy.
I meant to say ” I hope Dina doesn’t find out” but my fingers chose differently.
Eh, Dina’s well aware of the power of Becky’s Chains of Sunday School, in fact she had prepared for months to break a few using the Power of Science.
Seriously though, I can’t fucking wait to see how she breaks the other chains!!!!
🤘😆🤘 🦕🦖🌈🌌
*plays “Chou Super Dragon Soul” on hacked muzak*
Becky’s faith is incredibly malleable. Give her a week and she’ll be over that.
Turns out, God thinks she’s awesome and that her girlfriend is awesome and that the things she does with her girlfriend is awesome.
Becky’s God is cool.
Becky’s God wears cool sunglasses and drives a motorcycle and tosses her a beer, and she catches it perfectly and cracks it open and takes a big sip and her God’s like “Hey, slow it down, you’re gonna choke” and He does finger-guns and pops a wheelie and drives away.
And then Becky remembers she doesn’t like beer and is also underage and drinking in public, so her God circles back around and snaps His holy fingers and it’s actually a Barq’s root beer now so everything’s cool again.
It’s not so bad since it’s a mistake she’d be fine making a few more time.
When it’s just one lady, it’s Ms. Takes
When she only takes, we have Miss Givings.
If she’s on her best behavior she’s Miss Demeanor
If her words have squiggly red lines, she’s Miss Pell.
You and the alt-text are clearly biased against same-sex marriage!
We need to allow for Mrs.Takes!
“Ms.” is neutral to marital status, isn’t it?
Something’s amiss. A Ms. isn’t the same as a miss and a Mrs. is what a Ms. is when a Ms. gets a Ms. (or Mr.) Am I missing anything?
So my understanding*:
“Miss” is meant to imply unmarried when attached to surname.
“Mrs.” implies married.
“Ms.”, at least at the time it was popularized, was an ambiguous compromise between the two and more of a “My marital status is none of your business and should not affect how you address me.”
* I grew up in Texas, and it would be well after I was twenty that I would learn that in other parts of the US “Miss” was an age-sensitive term of direct address. If “Miss Smith”, frex, is not common usage, or linguistic shift has made it so (which wouldn’t be surprising or unjustified), then I am easily wrong.
Yeah, I thought “Miss” fell out of favor as a title for adults because it sounds diminutive, and “Ms.” (pronounced more like “mizz”) was one-size-fits-all.

Hopefully when Hell freezes over.
Dude, reverse imposter syndrome sounds like a trip.
Imagine trying to fuck up so hard that you consistently just win and you’re baffled every time.
Oh it’s me….sometimes.
I’m not even sure what that would mean. Can you explain it to me?
Imposter Syndrome is feeling like you’re not actually competent at a job you’re actually good at; I presume Reverse Imposter Syndrome is feeling competent at a job you’re supposed to not be good at.
I know I’m a fraud so why am I so successful!
Becky has three mommies. Ghost Mommy, Bad Judgment in Love Interests Mommy, and Bad Judgment in General Mommy.
…I mean, Ghost Mommy wasn’t exactly Good Judgement in Love Interests Mommy
To be fair we don’t know if he was as bad as he was in the series before they got married or if he got radicalized later in life
(Ignore this if Willis has word of goded answered this before)
Let’s not blame Bonnie for being married to an abuser. Her church definitely blamed her enough for everyone.
Such injustice… Bonnie’s story is just the thing that makes me wanna go fucking Ghost Rider. 🔥 👿
As a mere mortal, don’t go fucking Ghost Rider. Apart from the bones and fire being uncomfortable, just imagine that Penance Stare in the middle of sex.
Unless that’s the part that really does it for you.
…Yeah, fair point. My bad.
panel one is a phenomenal robin face omg
I think she’s a better teacher than some I’ve had in real life
Miss Steaks
Fake it til you make it!
Or, make it ’till you’re NOT faking it!
Dina stood outside expecting Joyce to be the one having a religious breakdown by end of class is in for a sad surprise maybe
I’m afraid you’re right.
Since Becky doesn’t believe in hell I’m guessing Becky’s issue is like when kids with decent parents have those who go ‘I love you but I’m disappointed with your decisions’.
Problem is good parents would more say that if you say did something actually wrong like idk slept with your siblings/best friends partner or whatever not that you, an adult, had sex in general.
(But seriously I sometimes read Reddit stories with horrid fascination: so many shitty siblings making a cheating story even worse).
Wait, who cheated on who, now?
No specific stories: it just seems to be a repetitive thing on Reddit. Basically the affair partner your spouse went for is your sibling which really makes getting over being cheated on more difficult since your sibling betrayed you too. Bonus horror points: they get married and have kids!
Jeesh. Maybe that works for some people, but I’d be in a living nightmare with no escape. I guess at that point, all you can do is move away and go no-contact on ’em.
“My brother asked me to be his best man. I refused, AITA?”
Or something similarly designed to downplay the severity of the situation.
“My brother wants to move in with me but I said no.”
“My brother asked me to be the godparent of his kids.”
“My brother asked to borrow my car and I declined.”
Hell is just being in heaven, but God occasionally shakes his head and sighs when he looks at you.
You mean Dorothy saying she is dissapointed
Some random white girl constantly saying she’s disappointed? Yeah, I could see that being somebody’s personal hell.
I would presume Becky believes that she would wait until marriage because she wants to show her commitment.
I.e. Becky believes in positive Christianity versus negative.
Can you elaborate? I don’t understand what you mean.
In today’s memes it’s called “suffering from success”, Robin
reads alt text
And once they’re married, they’re spelled Mrs.-takes.
You. Me. Thinking along same lines. Good.
Don’t worry Robin, I’m sure plenty of parents consider you awful and would love to drive you out with pitchforks.
It’s sweet how Becky want to inform Robin about what happened and do that not with her usual enthusiasm but talking with her almost embarrassed, telling her about her fears too. Robin is really important for her♡.
Is Becky saying this is in the room right in front of Joyce?
Also why would anyone on Earth 1) follow Robin’s advice or 2) tell her such an intimate detail?? Becky has first-hand experience on what a colossal piece of shit Robin can be, so it just seems bizarre to even approach her.
I think it’s while the class is leaving so the average amount of background noise would likely cover their conversation.

Life’s too short to waste it not passing off god.
Is Robin left-handed? And if so how have I not noticed this before?
Robin’s definitely not the worst teacher, since she is actually teaching students some stuff about politics. Just not what they’d normally learn from a political science class, probably.
Can someone remind me – do we as readers know whether Robin is religious or christian or not?
Robin was a Republican senator, so I have to assume she is Officially Christian. Whether she actually believes in anything is another question; frankly I sometimes doubt if she even really believes in other people, never mind mysterious sky spirits.
This brings back a fond memory of a Hungarian Conservative Euro Parliament member caught butt naked escaping a gay orgy.
Mary said she was Catholic, though I think you’re right that we haven’t seen anything to indicate she really practices.
She attends church, at the very least.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/02-choosing-my-religion/guitars/
Mary said Robin was Catholic. Mary is definitely not Catholic.
Whoops. Reading comprehension fails me again!
pronoun trouble
Eh, what’s up doc? 😛
Are you sure Robin was a senator? I feel certain that I remember her describing her district, and senators have states rather than districts.
Definitely a Representative.
The “I had sex with my partner before marriage…is that seriously going to send me to hell?” to “why would God be mad about this? Is God irrational? Is God a jerk?” to agnostic pipeline. I’ve been there
Oh good, so Becky does, in fact, view it as a mistake.
Wonderful.
