Many people are saying that Marten and Dora are broken up as of Tuesday's strip (1797,) but are they?
They both said some pretty nasty things, and they had a huge fight over something that may or may not have been that big a deal, but, at their current level of entanglement, have they truly, officially, according to Hoyle-ly broken up?
It is my position that they have not, as yet broken up.
Given their level of commitment, a break up must be explicitly stated to be in effect.
Dora saying "well that's it then" does not meat this standard.
That is not to say they won't break up, and does not mean that Dora and/or Marten won't consider the relationship over, until one of them says something unambiguous to that effect, they are still, technically, together.

--- Quote from: Odal on 16 Nov 2010, 03:08 ---Prediction: Dora will go back to CoD and get all emotional with Faye around. Then after work she'll go see Sven and they'll both talk to each other about how much their lives suck. Sven because he thought he was making progress towards being a better person but got shot down by Faye. Dora because she's always had to work to make a relationship last with her past douchebags and now she's doing a fine job of destroying the one person who she's not had to bend over backwards for. Dora will get upset with Sven initially, because she's upset that he's never had to try to get women, while she's had the opposite.
But they'll both revert back to their old ways out of self pity. Sven will seduce Dora and they'll have intense, rigorous, and deliciously painful sex for the whole night. Then, the next day, Sven will leave unannounced realizing what an asshole move it was to have sex with his own sister. Of course they didn't think to use protection and Dora will get pregnant with her brother's child. And since Sven will not be around, she will be a single mother living on her own.
As for Marten, he'll be standing in the doorway for about 15 minutes after Dora leaves with the same dumb expression on his face, only after about five minutes tears will start flowing from his eyes. Hanners will show up with cleaning supplies on expecting that Marten would be gone and she was going to secretly clean his apartment while he was gone. Then she'll see Marten crying and it'll change her completely. Marten is such a great, and emotionally strong man. There's no way he could be crying unless it was a true tragedy.
She'll approach him and he'll jump, not noticing she was there. She'll ask if he's okay and he'll wipe away his tears while saying yes, trying to remain strong. Hanners will see through it though. Marten is a sort of hero to her and has helped her so much, and now its her turn to return the favor. She'll grab him by the hand with her yellow glove hands, take him over to the couch to sit him down, and take a seat next to him. She'll ask him what is wrong and to not bother telling her nothing because she knows better!
Marten will explain the situation and she'll tell him that he deserves better than Dora. Hanners will take off her gloves, scoot closer to Marten and nuzzle his face with her face mask and put her bare hand on his lap. Marten will be shocked initially, because he knows of her OCD. He'll grab her hand to move it away from him, but as soon as he touches her hand, he'll realize how soft and clean her skin is.
Marten will stare blankly into her bright, beautiful blue eyes.
"What about your O-" He'll mutter.
"It can be ignored." Hanners will retort.
And I'll leave the intimate Hanners and Marten to your imagination, except that Marten will use a condom since they're in Marten's (and formerly Dora's) place.

...and now I'm wondering how this fight would have gone down if it turned out Marten was into bro/sis incest fiction.
Damn you all!

...or until Marten tosses all of her stuff (including Mieville) out onto the lawn of the apartment building.
EDIT: Phew! Didn't want to be the post that turns it into page 10!
EDIT (2): Wow, it's in the top five all-time. Um, yay Jeph?

--- End quote ---
More than just the human race- other primates and such mammals have been known to form social cliques and scapegoat as well, such as the bathing monkeys of Jigokudani. It's because mammals are inherently not a naturally studious and hardworking form of creature. If a bear can find a way to laze around all day, it will. Thus, instead of studiously working to find solutions to problems, we as mammals have the tendency to seek quick and easy answers. Thus is borne the instinct to scapegoat.

what it bothers me is that us, as humans have the choice to find the best solutions, not the easiest. But our instict overcomes most people, and they try to find an scapegoat easily... An animal will only work hard, only if needed to, but we have the brain to choose to do it! And still...

Now that would be pretty unambiguous wouldn't it.
But Marten would never do that.
Unless Faye egged him on...
