Hold up a sec: is Yay wearing femme clothes in 4909?  If so, that's the first time ever.  Looks like booty shorts and tights to me.

Everything that has been said about Tim Horton's is true. Their coffee used to be Pretty Good/Not Too Bad In A Pinch. Now it is Awful. But old folks still love to hang out there.

And, yes, Yay is suddenly wearing a "cute outfit"? Looks like a body suit with no pants? I like it but interesting progression for them.

Well, they haven't been dating long. You need to get through the first phase before you can start thinking about the future :)

I think shanejayell meant with any person ever, not just with each other. Which might be true, although we have no insight in any prior relationships for each, especialy not for Elliott.

Ah, I didn't think about it in that way :)

Assuming you're responding to the comic... I ended up moving to Canada because I got a job offer here, which happened when I emailed by former Ph.D. advisor for a reference while applying for a job at a company in the United States, and he replied with a job offer instead (it probably helped that the company I was applying at is one of the Canadian company's main competitors).

So if Claire has enough pull in CubeTown to get people hired, and she can make a persuasive argument that Clinton would be a good addition, she could probably get him a work permit for Canada.

But then it was sold to Brazilian Restaurants International, who then applied many cost-cutting measures. Thise measures includes a) replacing freshly baked donuts and pastries with reheated ones that come frozen from the factory b) giving up it coffee supplier contract for a cheaper one that tastes nasty (McDonalds now uses the old supplier, which is why their coffee is excellent in Canada) c) changing how much control franchises have, and making it actually difficult for them to maintain quality
In the US, the coffee tastes watery, and the hash browns straight-up taste stale. It's... bad. (I'm in the epicenter of Tim Hortons being in the US - Wendy's brought them in, and my area is where Wendy's is based, so all the test stores to determine whether Americans would even buy it were here.)

At least the ones in my immediate area are notably far worse than the Dunkins I've been to.

Yay, with their godlike powers, will be able to supply an endless amount of bread. Roko will never have to go without again!
...I find myself wondering whether Roko has ever indicated that she'd be attracted to Yay - or anyone else androgynous or femme - even *with* an endless amount of bread...

Perfectly Reasonable

What would I do if I were smart?
I guess first I'd stop taking the stupid pills.

Considering that Clinton's area of expertise involves A.I. I believe he could probably do most of his work for Cubetown without ever having to leave North Hampton.
