One of the hardest ideas to internalize is the concept that not everyone's experiences mirror our own, even when the experiences appear identical.

Mmm. Personally I enjoy certain alcoholic drinks, and I really hate the fact that, if I wanted, for example to spend an evening enjoying a selection of vintage Scotch whiskies, by the 3rd or 4th all discrimination and appreciation of the taste would be gone. Always frustrated me about beer festivals too: there might be 20 or 30 brews I'd rather like to try, but actually it became pointless after four or five.

Same here. I guess one benefit for me of being a former binge drinker is that I know how many drinks it takes before I stop enjoying the taste - or even tasting the taste. Back in the day, I would have happily dulled my taste buds in order to be able to drink down nasty swill, but now that I'm older (and hopefully, wiser), I prefer to just buy good stuff and drink it sparingly so that I can appreciate the good stuff. It takes me anywhere from six months to a year to get through a bottle, and at that rate, I can afford to spring for something that isn't rotgut liquor, wino wine, or watery beer.
So yeah. I'm another person who doesn't drink to get drunk (although I used to be, back in my 20s). I'd say that the only reason to drink crappy stuff is to get drunk, but not all alcohol is Budweiser, MD 20/20 and Bacardi.

Also: new faces again. :-o
I´m once again amazed how Jeph manages to visualize the inner turmoil and fight Faye goes through. Is someone else reminded of Gavia crying after realizing she´s lost her nanotech?

I definitely saw the similarity. They're both mourning losses although Faye has had a lot longer to get used to hers.
Is it cold in here?:
Faye has lost a home, namely the old Coffee of Doom atmosphere.

Agreed. Some of it is decent quality single malt, like Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, and Dalmore, which have a smooth, enjoyable taste I wouldn't want to destroy by dulling the palate.
improvnerd:
I so want Wednesday's strip to be Bubbles helping Faye get the bottle to her lips.
I mean, she looks like she's having so much trouble doing it on her own....
