Before he married, my dad hated it when relatives would go up to him at weddings and say "You're next!". He stopped it by doing it to them at funerals.Classy.
See, it's supposed to be the single women who gather to catch the bouquet, and single men who catch the garter.Ha, they just said "unmarried" people at that wedding.
Prevents things like that from happening... :-D

I wonder.. will we make AI's so much in our own image? Will our species' children be better than their parents, or just different?We'd done a discussion on this (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,27713.0.html) before (from comic #2085 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2085)). And for the most part, in an ideal situation, I'd agree with you. But with the amount of indifference, and indeed hate, in the world... would you really want to curse them with such a thing as human emotions at this stage?
Will Momo and Station.... will they have that capability, to bond with another person, to fall in love and be loved? I hope so. I can't imagine forming them without that, it's the greatest gift we were given by evolution. Perhaps we can even improve on it, for them?
OK, I'm a hopeless romantic. Meh. It's me.

I suspect I'm the only person here whose species has been debated. Not for long, the medical team quickly came to he decision that I was rightly classified as H.Sap... but it was reasonable to consider the question. Even I thought so, after seeing the blood tests.
If I'm overreacting, it's because I grew up in the American South, where one occasionally runs into an idiot who will offer up the opinion that people who aren't white aren't homo sapiens and therefore aren't entitled to human rights. These people always make me see red. Even more so when they assume that I'd agree with them because I'm white - I always quickly and in no uncertain terms disabuse them of that assumption. So I'm primed to respond with outrage whenever a person's basic humanity is questioned.
Civil rights for all people, damn it, because I refuse to be part of a master race.
Let me guess.. They simultaneously rant about interracial baby-making? *Hint-hint* ;)
On a related note: Keep in mind that the "Over-man" (Übermensch) has nothing to do with a Master-Slave relation, it has to do with the Self-realized man transcending dogma and forging their own path. The "Master race" of the past was just dogma. Contrast with Transhumanism. Yay, superior humanity!

19th and early 20th century anthropologists were very keen on classifying the human species into distinct sub-groups. The problem was that, in trying to make all the groups homogenous while still trying to make their classification systems account for all of human diversity, they kept dividing us into smaller and smaller groups until their systems became so unwieldy and divorced from reality that they were meaningless.

I don't think he's being weird about hiding the strip. It's more that for out-of-continuity comics (that is, ones without a number) the name and location of the file on his server don't fit the pattern that the comic handling software expects.

I'm not a native (of the English language, I'm actually German), but "it embarrasses me (so)" feels/looks/sounds pretty weird to me, like something a German would say, you know one of those things that give away that you're a foreigner.While technicly both "I feel so embarrassed." and "It embarrasses me so." are both perfectly acceptable English, the latter has the feeling for this native speaker of being a little old fashioned, bordering on archaic. Like, I would expect to hear it from a Civil War or Victorian era period piece. Still, I think a modern American wouldn't bother mentioning the word "feel", as feelings would be implied in the word "embarrass". So, to sound like a native, "This is so embarrassing." would do it more convincingly.
I think, "I feel so embarrassed" would be the best translation as it includes that "undertone" that ankhtahr mentions.

I expected to be a lot worse, actually.
What allowed me to do as good as I did was to sort by brightness, and not hue. One of the coping skills that I've developed over the decades, I guess.
Now, if you ask me to name what any of those colours actually are, or change the test so there is a bit of white space between the swatches, I'm pretty sure I'd get a record fail score.
