I imagine jennifer’s aware and accepting of this, but even if she’s not wanting to trash talk walky other than the usual snarkiness between them, you’d think raidah would already know, unless raidah’s confident enough/willing to try everyone who has any kinda social standing
How many people out of the main cast know about Sarah and Raidah’s situation, I’m trying to work out. Walky and Jennifer doesn’t, but many of their mutual friends I think. . .
Just wondering if a single person would rather be friends with “I blatantly treat human interactions as essentially transactional, and also being my friend means you can do nothing wrong” Raidah over the abrasive and honest Sarah.
I would love to be friends with Sarah, because I also don’t like people and consider sitting in the same room doing different things to be satisfactory socializing
Although, if I did have any connections that would interest Raidah (I don’t) I would definitely string her along as punishment for her behavior
Plot twist: Lucy is related to Kamala Harris, but doesn’t usually mention it until it comes up organically. Raidah is ignoring her, and will never find this out.
I love this twist, but would prefer it come to light after Raidah has burnt that bridge, and must watch the big reveal while smashed against the rocky shores known as “consequences of her actions”.
But I may harbour some anger over a similar, real-life scenario, that is hurting people I love.
if anything it’d be easier to bribe him upfront rather than going outta their way to have breakfast like, “here’s a gift card for a year’s worth of mcnuggets, set up a meeting with the dean for me”
See, at least that’d be honest and straightforward, instead of acting you’re interested in people and inviting them to breakfast and making them spend social energy just so that you can get a foot up.
But that’s not what you want. Not just a meet. You want a connection. Someone who’ll talk you up to them and get the dean to look favorably on you because of.
And, if done well, it works both ways. You get access to his connections and he gets access to yours. Everyone benefits.
SillyGoose
“Everyone benefits”.
Except, of course, people who have no connections to begin with.
danimagoo
Raidah doesn’t strike me as the Quid pro quo type. I think she wants to take without giving anything in return.
thejeff
Which is why she’d actually be bad at networking, even if she’s obsessed with it.
This interaction reminds me why I’ve always hated Raidah and her character and always rooted against her, even when it was a 50 50 in who was in the wrong between her and Sarah.
Sarah’s intentions may not have been the most worthy, but I don’t know that reaching out about a roommate who’s spiralling into substance dependency is that similar to being annoyed that your friend was removed from her unhelpful social dynamic
Psychie
I dunno what you mean by “most worthy”, her roommate needed serious help, she got her that help. Sure PART of it was fear that she’d also get in trouble, but that doesn’t eliminate the good she was trying to do.
“it’s about who you know” as ppl have said in the past. tho these days she could also just be a ‘law student on youtube’ kinda channel and gain a following there if she’s ‘charming’ enough lol, other than there being an oversaturation of broke ppl i’m surprised there haven’t been a small handful of students getting their tuitions paid for through crowdfunding at least partially
Ugh; disgusting how much of a social climber Raidah is being here.
I keep WANTING to give her character some benefit of the doubt because life is complicated but she just keeps revealing her nature in subtle ways that completely put me off.
If anything, feels like it’d be easier to schedule a meeting with the dean and suck up to him directly, if not introduced through one of her professors as opposed to asking walky
I’m surprised too that radiah seriously thinks being the son of the deans ex wife is a noteworthy connection and thought her own family would have been connected enough to get in his hod graces if she needed. I almost hope she’s just pretending that’s the reason.
Archieve
‘GOOD graces’
Mr. Random
My main guess is that she wants the Walkertons MOM’S connections.
Having been married to the dean, she likely forged a large network of her own. Raidah might be trying to see if she can tap into that. The fact that the dean is part of that network AND still amicable means Mrs. Walkerton had the network AND maintains it.
At least, that’s my theory.
anon
be interesting if his mom went along with it
like, “sure i’ll help you out…if you can convince my son to get a medical degree” (because i think it mentioned early on that she wanted him to become a doctor or like “that’s what his major is for now until he changes his mind”)
Ed Callahan
Apparently there’s enough of a relationship the Dean would overlook Sal’s motorcycle initially but I think Raidah would be disappointed by the amount of string-pulling he might actually be willing to do for her.
thejeff
Also got them (and Dorothy’s family) access to the fancy-pants lounge way back at Family Weekend.
Seriously. She’s subtle as a fart in a cathedral, and almost as pleasant to be around.
I think that’s what’s bugging me about her. She’s so blatantly awful that everyone else around her seems worse because they aren’t calling her out on it, or actively avoiding her.
pope suburban
This is exactly it. She’s just openly selfish and shitty, and there is zero charm or charisma to soften it. Her two notes seem to be “I’m better than you, and refuse to say how/why,” and “Gimme gimme gimme.” What possible reason would anyone have to spend time around a person like that? I mean ffs, even if we’re playing the “networking” game, it seems like Raidah’s the one without any connections; she’s not even useful in terms of overt and unapologetic social climbing. Whhhyyyy are they spending time with her?
I am not remembering any time Radiah stressed she wanted to fight for the disadvantaged .
Vanessa
I’m sure if she ever said that she was only doing it to manipulate. If she does try to “help the unfortunate” she would end up doing it in the most offensive and counterproductive way possible. While constantly thinking of how she could impress the right people. Can you imagine her actually asking vulnerable people what they need and then listening to them?
Taffy
Or even mentioned it in passing, really.
cbwroses
She did say she wanted to take the kind of cases Jacob’s brother does and I believe that he is established as fighting for the disadvantaged.
If I remember correctly, two of his cases were mentioned, one at lunch and one in the elevator with Carla.
I don’t remember the lunch case, though I want to say it had that feel, and the case with Carla in the elevator was implied to be dealing with Carla in helping her get some rights.
So while he doesn’t necessarily help the financially disadvantaged, he definitely does help disadvantaged people.
And Raidah wanting to help disadvantaged people with money definitely tracks.
thejeff
It was Carla’s case both times.
And Raidah talked about “living up to that”, but I don’t recall her saying anything explicit about taking the same kind of cases.
cbwroses
I looked it up.
When Raidah, Jacob, Dorothy, and Joyce had lunch, she talked about Harrison being part of the team to get rid of some anti-trans laws and about Jacob living up to that, so it wasn’t about her desire to do the same as I mistakenly thought.
It *does* feel a bit weird, though, because we’ve clearly established in the past that she does–or did, anyways. After all, her total hatred of Sarah is at least partially based on her deep loyalty to one of her friends, and I don’t think that anger and fear on behalf of her friend is fake.
(I really hope it *doesn’t* turn out to have been an act, because that would feel kind of, like… unnecessarily stripping nuance away from a character. The problem is that her hatred of Sarah may have far outstripped the original understandable concern, not that the concern was fake all along.)
Archieve
Even if her concern for her old friend was genuine it still seems like a stretch to claim from having a care for one person that she wants to fight for the disadvantaged.
Imogen
I was not replying to Ursula.
Anyways, Raidah has made her progressive politics very clear on numerous occasions. Is she a good progressive? No, not yet. Dina talked about their first meeting pretty bluntly–something to the tune of “I’m sure she thought she was standing up for me, but she was being very condescending.”
Imogen
Sorry, that came across as terse. I got worried that people would misunderstand my post the second I saw Ursula had ninjaed me. 😛
I recall it was more along the lines of” she thought she was being nice to me” as opposed to standing up for her. She made condensending implications with her friends that Dina was slow and thought it was fine because she wouldn’t understand. while she might Identify with being progressive that doesn’t necessarily translate into a personal desire to help the less fortunate just the desire to be aligned with a certain political side. Not saying that can’t change but so far shes only shown to care for maybe two people on an individual level and only about social connections to better her own position for anything else.
Imogen
She did tell off her friend very firmly for using the r-slur, which was what I meant with “standing up for”.
thejeff
After calling her “mentally challenged” and talking to her like a child, sure.
Archieve
I understood what you meant by “standing up for” what I was trying to communicate above was that it was not in fact Radiah standing up for Dina, just an indication that she is socially aware enough to know that using outright slurs is bad. This is an important distinction, imagine saying that someone protected you from their firsts by only slapping your face unprovoked but holding back from outright punching you. Radiah went out of her way to be a bully to Dina because she looked like an easy target and was standing next to Sarah, she doesn’t deserve brownie points by being to be favorably compared to Char who took it a tiny step further.
Not really? Others have covered the whole “disadvantaged” thing, but Raidah’s main shtick has been an aggressive self-righteousness. She finds a moral high ground and uses it as a pedestal from which to browbeat others. We have no sense of what she actually believes in from a moral dimension.
As was noted by others on previous strips, though, there’s a really good chance we’ll actually get that sense in this storyline.
Eh, law students. It’s typically one of the most expensive and exclusive faculties which attracts a certain type. And it’s not as humbling as med.
Warning, personal anecdote
At a small dorm Christmas party thing last semester i was alone and some girls came up to me to chat. I thought they were friendly, we exchanged majors, they were law students. They started ribbing a little on the event which is basically how to make small talk here, but then they just kept getting meaner and meaner. Like they were just insulting and laughing at the choir performers, talking trash about the decorations, and when i pointed out that one of my friends worked really hard making the decorations, they asked if she was an art student or something and laughed when i said yes. Like, i grew up going to school with the richest, grossest little freaks and these girls were still somehow the biggest snobs I’d ever met. Lost them in the crowd as fast as I could.
Hell part of me thinks they only came up to me because people with my complexion in my country tend to have connections (i don’t, everyone from that rich school hated me and vice versa)
Tl;Dr law students are statistically snobby weirdos
I wonder if B’Jennifer is really OK with that kind of behavior. Maybe if the frenemies are focusing their attention on Walky she can come up for air and finally see clearly what they are doing. It would be a little funny if they drop her for Lucy! Maybe Lucy’s mom is the governor or something.
anon
well she did say she knew/was aware of toxic relationshisp and entered willingly for the most part? I imagine she’d put up with all of them now and then rather than spending too much time together if not just spending more time ‘dating’ asher, if not just it being beneficial for jennifer’s future as well (did we ever find out her major/what her future career is? even tho she was obsessed with being ‘popular’ and a ‘cheerleader’, can’t exactly have it as a realistic career goal in your 40s)

Could I trouble you for a link to the relevant strip? I don’t remember this and I don’t have the time to do an archive dive tonight.

cbwroses
Her major has been journalism since the beginning.
She was head of the hs paper even as a cheerleader and tried to join the college paper, but kept getting rejected since (I want to say it’s) Daisy said her story ideas always had a person connection to her (“my roommate is the college vigilante” and “my RA is an abusive thief and dictator”), so wouldn’t entertain the notion of them.
I do remember she was tasked with interviewing people about Amazi-Girl (sp) at the same time Dorothy was supposed to interview Roz about the sex tape, but I don’t remember how that went.
I could go on for paragraphs about what a disease this mentality is at my school. My country is basically a links economy, hell even getting a dog is about knowing a guy who knows a guy. People are encouraged to stay at the traditional halls of residence (old, super intense hall culture, basically harasses you into participating if you’re not a senior) bc politicians have stayed there, and saying “oh i was on the committee of X hall” can get you a job. One of my teachers seemed super depressed about how obsessed students are with networking

How distant? If Miyamoto knows about both you and the relation, it’s the type of thing that could potentially be cultivated into your network
