WCDT Strips 3826-3830 (10-14 September 2018)
Nycticoraci:
It's like someone saying: Oh you went to prison? I can relate, I've watched "Orange is the New Black".
jwhouk:
What would be the worst, of course, is saying, "Oh, you were in prison? I used to work as a prison guard..."
The rest of the sentence wouldn't be completed because they'd walk away faster than Barry Allen from the Anti-Flash.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 12 Sep 2018, 23:18 ---This strip reminds us that Marigold really has a lot of social problems including a definite lack of empathy. It isn't malicious but she genuinely doesn't think of other people's feelings when pursuing curiosity or if she wants something. She is even aware of this but only in hindsight and usually only when called out about it. A curious girl.
It is clear to me that robot jail and her experiences therein are going to be a permanent trigger for May but the specific problem here is Momo's tendency to treat her theoretical knowledge and abstract principles as universal absolutes that don't automatically apply to people who have actually lived through the experience. This tripped her up with Bubbles and it seems that it tripped her up with May too. I'm just wondering if she's learning from this or if, to her, it's a frustrating mystery as to why people keep on telling her that her principles, based on the highest academic standards of ethics, are unrealistic!

She's getting more exercise too (vigorous sex with Dale at a rate and intensity that it keeps on driving Momo out of the apartment). That said, as we can see, she still has her distinctive moles on her jawline.

I think Momo's theoretical approach and May's hands on figuring out on the way approach gives those two a certain dynamic, since they're kind of polar opposites, but do not exclude each other if done properly.
Marigold flat out tries to satiate her curiosity, not thinking whether that behaviour may trigger other people. IMHO May has quite a strong reaction to being asked about jail, but that's just her. And Momo never warned Marigold about that, although she knew very well, apparently.
Tova:
I am reminded of a speech from a certain film...
--- Quote from: Good Will Hunting ---You're an orphan, right? Do you think I'd know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, 'cause I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally, I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't wanna do that, do you, sport? You're terrified of what you might say.
