I feel like talking about marriage as if it's a done deal after they've been a couple for two hours is just slightly premature.

--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 29 May 2018, 06:33 ---Okay so am I crazy to think...if you’re attracted to people, you’re attracted to people. An AI is a person. Why does there have to be a separate sexuality for it? Maybe that’s weird to say. Marten said it best, he doesn’t think of Pintsize as anything but his unusually small roommate.

Because society is fucked. Why do people have to come out? Why do people assume hetero unless otherwise stated? This is a discussion I've had with numerous people of late, including on here, and while a 'why does it need its own word?' principle is really nice hypothetically, in practice it's a blank cheque for oppressors.
--- Quote from: mgrayson3 on 29 May 2018, 07:36 ---Is it just me, or does being involved with Brun seem like a bad idea for any of the QC characters. Sharing jokes and food seems about her limit for comfortable closeness - and not for Bubbles-like reasons.
--- End quote ---
Have you ever met anybody like Brun? Because I don't think this is particularly fair. There's speculation on this forum from Brun's debut about her being AS or on the spectrum somewhere, and while Jeph has never confirmed this, your description there suggests that getting involved with an AS/autistic person would be a bad idea. For the record, that also includes me, but I'm responding more on behalf of the socially awkward or introverted or antisocial and everyone in between rather than myself.
--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 29 May 2018, 07:53 ---I am really wondering what Brun’s deal is, to be honest. She knows Clinton and Elliot like her and she just...isn’t doing anything one way or the other. She does seem to be on the spectrum, but even so, she must feel one way or the other about them. I’m not a fan of her opaque nature.
Being that physically close to Clinton, she has to have known she was making him feel ...things. I don’t know if she’s trolling us or intentionally oblivious.

Christ, mate, it could also be neither, you know? Some of us more opaque people aren't such a fan of the transparent nature of modernity. To take it to the extreme, if I have to choose between Brun's 'you will never know anything about me' attitude and my 16-18 year old students' 'I put a photo of every time I get a Subway up on Insta and Snapchat' I definitely choose Brun.
--- Quote from: Zebediah on 29 May 2018, 10:38 ---I’ll take it a step further and assert that Brun isn’t obligated to do anything at all about how others feel about her. Including recognize that those feelings exist.
Now, if she chooses to acknowledge those feelings and give Clinton and/or Elliot a clear response to them, good for her. But it is in no way required.

I liked this post. Then I unliked it, just so I could like it again. Excellent work, Zeb.
--- Quote from: Milayna on 29 May 2018, 17:17 ---Heh, Jeph definitely reads the forums.
--- End quote ---
Sometimes. Not particularly often. Usually after someone has logged a mod report because he gets those too, and occasionally will show up just to fire someone out of an airlock, call them a dickweasel or something and then leave.
--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 29 May 2018, 17:41 ---TWO HOURS??? Damn ladies, didn't know you had it in ya. :laugh:

In my own experience, two female-identifying or vagina-having folks would find this to be fairly standard. I'd defer to the actual lesbians and vagina-havers of the forum, but I've been in a relationship with two NB vagina-havers the past couple of years and they as well as the other folks I've spoken to seem to line up with this experience. One of the many reasons why so many people would benefit from a reduction in hetero-normativity! And a reason why I often wish I had a vulva rather than a penis :psyduck:
--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 29 May 2018, 17:46 ---NOT sudden. NOT unexpected. Faye, everyone has just been waiting for you guys to get together. So be together and know that everyone who cares about you wants this for you. Even your SISTER has been waiting. So don't worry!

Bear in mind that comic time moves slower than real time. Despite being a comic that's been running for the better part of two decades, I think only a few years have passed in the comic timeline, and that's including a time skip or two.

--- Quote from: zisraelsen on 29 May 2018, 18:56 ---You should change your username to fayeisgonnaproposetobubbles and start the cycle again.
--- End quote ---
... Is there a way to do that?
I'm asking for a friend...

--- Quote from: zisraelsen on 29 May 2018, 19:05 ---I could have sworn there was, but the little bit of poking around I'm doing is proving me wrong.
--- End quote ---
Far as I recall, the mods can change your username for you.
--- End quote ---
Admins can, which is only hodgy, cold and Jeph. None of us regular mods can.

Regarding 'two hours' - the US has a particularly bad average when it comes to intimacy durations - most Europeans who answer such questions spend upwards of an hour even with hetero couples. The US average is...15 minutes. Partly it's the Puritan heritage showing; sex being entirely for procreation because pleasure is de debil, we must suffers eternally for the sins of the past mindset. Partly it's the greater acceptance of sex and sexuality in Europe leading to proper education regarding the mindset of intimacy - the greatest pleasure one can experience is that which is generated by seeing someone you care about completely lost in bliss...and knowing you helped make that happen.
If Bubbles and Faye are spending two hours intimately, then I am damn glad for them.

It has certainly been my own experience. The advantage of multiple orgasms, no refractory period, and the tendency for us to focus on more than just trying to reach climax as soon as possible.
