--- Quote from: DSL on 14 Jul 2017, 08:09 ---I found Angus less likable as he wore on; there was an emotionally manipulative aspect to his character I would have found repellent in a real-world person. (I'm thinking of the semi-smirk with which he told Faye "I love you" as he got on the train for his audition, discombobulating her for a very long weekend. After watching a few of the live-drawing feeds Jeph used to do, I concluded he never draws anything by accident.)

Could you point me to that comic? I tried to find by hunting around, without success. I want to see this sinister smirk.

--- Quote from: flondrix on 13 Jul 2017, 06:20 ---I'm with "Is it cold in here?" on this. The statement "No judgement from me!" is someone making a point of how tolerant they are, implying that they think the person to whom they are speaking is doing something that must be "tolerated." At least, that is how such a statement is used in sitcom-ish media, which this comic sort of is.

This is ridiculous and the kind of comment that basically makes people turn to "well fuck, nothing I can say is going to be taken at face value, so why the fuck should I try". I'm poly and bi. I have used the phrase "no judgement" to describe my thoughts on other people's relationships that are INSIDE THE VERY THINGS I DO, as they weren't aware of my sexuality at the time. It means literally that. No Judgement. The only other thing that it means is that "while there are other people who might have a problem with it, I do not" to make sure that they feel comfortable with me.
Assigning other motives to it is just... why do we require such high bars for people communicating that they can't even say basically "I have no problems with your relationships" without them being accused of having problems with your relationships.

I was hunting around for something else when I came across this comic:

--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 14 Jul 2017, 09:15 ---That's just it, up until she got fired, Faye never had any goals. She coasted through her life after her crash and first stay in hospital. She never had any drive to try and improve her life in any way, shape or form. Even when she tried to do the metalwork sculptures, Faye's approach was pretty much being poked into working by Dora. Faye wanted to stay in form of stasis in her life and was detrimentally reticent to any change in her life and took no risks. When Angus said he had a chance at his dream job, it was Faye's lack of faith in that chance that ended the relationship.

How do you make a link classy, like having text describing it appear instead of the bare URL? The link insertion tool doesn't seem to do anything like that.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 14 Jul 2017, 09:20 ---No, it was unwillingness to leave the place where she felt safe and her surrogate family.
--- End quote ---
Ergo, unwilling to make changes in her life and living in stasis.

Let's see if I can do this without the system reading it as code.
Left square bracket [
Then "URL=http://somesiteoranother.tld
The right square bracket ]
Then your descriptive text
Then another left square bracket [
Then a slash and the letters URL /URL
And finally a right square bracket to end code. ]
Here's how it would look (substituting curlybrackets so the system won't render it as code) - {URL=http://somesiteoranother.tld}Then your descriptive text{/URL}
