Cornelius:
I wouldn't say that's fair, exactly: the hair's different, and so is her nose, and mouth/expression. Her moles are not shown here, as they're on the other side of her face, as you can see on the last comic she was in, 4313. Especially in full profile, the differences are obvious.

Remember Bubbles first interactions with Marten as an example but one really uncomfortable strip was way back when Marten was seeing someone (can't remember her name) and then she was going to leave and she basically ghosted him then just before she was due to leave she contacts him and he (not unreasonably) wants nothing to do with her so Faye smacks him upside the head and essentially gives him the message that no matter what a girl does to him its ok and that he should always forgive them though to be fair it was a time ago so I may not be remembering it correctly but it always struck me as a really bad message, that basically Marten is not allowed to be angry especially with a girl

I assume you mean this strip? I never interpreted that as 'Marten is not allowed to be angry', but more as 'you cannot complain that life is passing you by when you do not make an effort to make things happen'.

(Thanks for that)

In this instance Marten was justified in being angry in that he did everything right and he still got shafted. He left messages for her, didn't stalk her or make it weird and got nothing and then when she decided she wanted to see him the night before she left Marten did the right thing by not allowing himself to get even more hurt then he already was.

Fayes response to all this is to call him an asshole. Yeah good one Faye, Padma ghosts him and then you rip on him as well but its ok because shes telling him what he needs to hear...no what he needed was some support, someone to tell him yeah she was a b**ch and its not your fault but instead because a girl wanted to see him Marten should have dropped everything and gone rushing over

No, this was a bad storyline with bad messaging

Farideh:
Let's agree to disagree on that one 😊

Boxer:
I assume it will be huge amount, maybe 6 figures.  May is a couple of degrees of separation from two very rich and powerful Artificial Intelligences who have absolutely no real concept of money, and no concept of small actions.

Yay gave away $2 billion dollars on a whim, and then made it sound easy to re-earn it... so what can she output in a week. She may be promising to not interfere with Roko but even if she tries to do "small donation" she might end up donating a six figure sum as a small donation.

Station is worth about 605 million dollars in Ellicott-Chatham Technologies shares alone and he thought $4.6 million dollars was a good "apology"... what would he do if he was asked by Hannelore to donate, or if he felt the need to apologise for Hannelore's dad jumping focus.
