--- Quote from: Tova on 12 Aug 2020, 01:20 ---As ever, a concept that I had assumed to have a commonly understood meaning turns out to be anything but.
--- End quote ---
Words are a very poor medium for conveying emotional states. And people misuse them deliberately and accidentally then suddenly the new meaning takes over and the cycle repeats. If neither thing were true, no-one would have invented poetry.

--- Quote from: Farideh on 10 Aug 2020, 16:10 ---that one (disastrous) date with Pintsize.
--- End quote ---
Roko liked bread. Pintsize durably publically explicitly stated that he wanted to shoot toast at "your" body. Roko agreed to a date with Pintsize. Pintsize shot toast at Roko. Roko disliked that?
--- End quote ---
Roko was trying to come to some understanding of who Pintsize was, and getting no response. Pintsize was trying to live out his sexual fantasy and not getting the response he wanted either. Both leave the date highly dissatisfied.
--- End quote ---
Roko wanted more than toast shot at him.

Poetry means formally. (Contrast prose.) Used for mnemosis, esthesis, emphasis,,
Cornelius:
Contrast free form poetry.
ischaemia:
For me personally, I'd attribute a crush to something more akin to infatuation and a slight obsessiveness (ie: thinking about them constantly, accidentally imagining them close to you as you drift to sleep, being terrified of their nearness, etc.) whereas attraction is more like "ah, yes, this person is someone I find (subjectively) appealing," but without the aforementioned qualities of infatuation. If you have the former, you generally have the latter, but if you have an attraction, you don't necessarily have that crush kind of quality to it.
This is a bit of a tangent but, I'd argue even that while it's hard to have a crush without attraction (lucidly observed) it's totally possible to have that tropey anger/rival crush, where you have a latent attraction you don't want to give a voice to (and that can be fun when employed! I just don't think it's something we've seen in this comic for a while, if nothing else).
I hate to say it, but I was almost hoping the game mentioned last comic to be a segue into another alternative comic from Jeph like Alice Grove LOL
