Trump actually did that, but his face is not recorded (and Stephen Miller also made this complaint, on camera, but was almost screaming and looked accordingly).
Kinda sad Amber values her rage as an identity. She needs to find some new niches. Maybe she can be the girl who knows how to juggle and do close up magic.
Unrelated to this comic, but it occurred to me earlier today: I wonder if regarding parties, would Sal & Amber’s favorite song (and possibly Dina’s) be Alessia Cara’s “Here”?
I feel like there are songs about doing lesbian things that don’t spend 50% of the song saying “still straight tho”.
Like I have limited musical reference pools so the best replacement I can think of is like Tegan and Sara’s “Closer”, but there’s a lot of actual lesbian music out there to pick from
Laura
Ooh, yes, that’s a lovely one. “I won’t treat you like you’re typical.” Perfect choice!
Hmm lesbian songs…
Indigo Girls, “Closer to Fine”?
Pat Humphries “You Taught Me to Face the Music”?
Ani DiFranco, “Both Hands”?
Hmmm…. nothing seems quite perfect.
Other ideas?
Thag Simmons
I really should check out Ani DiFranco’s music, she was great as Persephone
Laura
Oh, yeah. That was an inspired choice of casting, for sure! So glad to see her career flourishing.

“Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk…” Yes! Perfect.
Maybe for Slamber/Amazigirl next time they go to roller derby practice. 🙂
And I definitely feel that vibe with Becky and Dina: “Is it fast enough that we can fly away?”
So what exactly was she excepting? She was going to get drunk and then things we’re going to end up like what happened in the finale of Cobra Kai season 5
Amber still doesn’t think highly of herself. I think she expects the worst of herself in any scenario and if that were to happen Amazi-girl would step in. That leads to an interesting question. If they were to switch right now would Amazi-girl be drunk?
Sorry. I don’t know anything about DID and would rather ask the question than assume something. Amber has done things like perform amazing feats of physicality and athleticism while going multiple days without sleep assumedly just from switching. Also different personalities react differently to alcohol so maybe AG holds her drink better. I don’t think it’s magic, I just thought it was worth asking.
I have a history of anger management issues (I haven’t had trouble with this in a long time). I do NOT get drunk. Period. I have been drunk precisely once and I panicked because I was worried I might lose my temper, because I have seen a lot of people in my life have massive anger issues when drunk. I truly doubt I would be an angry drunk, but I don’t ever want to take that chance.
(I have to clarify: Amber wasn’t against him pursuing Asher. She went to warn him because it’s what a decent friend does, but in her heart of hearts she was very in favor.)

Amber wants all the hot guys to kiss. So she can watch. And write smut.
My head and body feel like they’re full of lead and hella clammy, and while i thankfully got Paxlovid in time, it makes my mouth feel like a metal paper shredder :/
I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I don’t know if the clock shifted, but if so it is by less than 7ish minutes (it was posting at 3 after the hour for me a while ago and it was up for me before 10 after the hour).
How hot is sin exactly? If we go by the bible, it is presumably hot enough to ignite sulfur – which may not be that hot as sulfur is pretty flammable. However, it never says which molecular form of sulfur or under what pressure it is burning.
Also, if the lake of fire is burning forever and ever it would presumably run out of sulfur to sublimate at some point, unless instead it is just molten sulfur? Octasulfur is a liquid between 115.21 and 444.6 degrees Celsius, so maybe sin is between those temperatures? However, those at one atmosphere of pressure and the lake of fire may in fact be far below sea level even underground or at the bottom of an oceanic trench. Maybe it is up high in volcanic caldera?
So many questions – which presumably form the basis of demonic pop science quizzes, hell’s true torture.
Relatively cool, perhaps. I wish I had a reference to offer, to someone’s calculations (based on hints about heavenly insolation from Isaiah(?) and the boiling point of sulfur) that heaven must be hotter than hell.
Lesbian sex doesn’t produce noise, by nature of biology. You see, lesbians are born with multiple pockets of a sound-absorbing foam-like tissue, which expands during arousal. They could be going at it like they’re animated on ones and you’d never know.
Oh please, you want me to believe Dina would not emit some kind of dino mating call? Preposterous!
Taffy
Dina isn’t at this party.
Da Boy
She is? It’s happening in her room? Or am I just dense and you are making a “People don’t notice Dina’s presence” joke?

Dobra, film zaczyna się gdy Franek Dolas (znany również jako Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz) pilnuje granicy Polsko-Niemieckiej. Strzela do jakiegoś podejrzanego typa i Nagle rozpętuje się Piekło i Druga Wojna Światowa! Biedak jest przekonany że rozpętał wojnę i przez trzy filmy błąka się po Europie i Afryce i różnych frontach wojny.

Amber’s face like 45 demanding refunds for the money spent campaigning against Biden

Also Danny has achieved so much by wearing a hat and picking up a tiny instrument. Hat-Amber could be dating a hot biker one day.
anon
i would’ve thought, therapy aside that her being on the roller derby team would’ve been a good outlet for the rage
and lol i’m surprised he wouldn’t have known about the speedrun records unless ethan only cared about transformers versus any kinda gaming
Dante
It would’ve been nice! But Amber still sees _her_ anger as to be leashed – and thus Amazigirl got the Roller Derby outlet.
Thag Simmons
I feel like if Ethan did care about gaming he largely doesn’t anymore, and even if he did he might have been distracted by other things

Unrelated to this comic, but it occurred to me earlier today: I wonder if regarding parties, would Sal & Amber’s favorite song (and possibly Dina’s) be Alessia Cara’s “Here”?
Laura
Ooh, that’s a Good one! I could see Sal in that song. For sure.
For Dina, though, I’m thinking “Alligator_Aviator_Autopilot_Antimatter” by R.E.M. Maybe for Amber, too.
“Surfin’ Bird” by the Trashmen, too, of course. “Bird is the word!”
Of course, Becky and Dina right now are grooving to Katy Perry’s “I kissed a girl (and I liked it)”
Of course Ethan’s theme song is “It’s much too late for goodbyes,” by Julian Lennon.
While Joyce is all over “I want to be evil!” by Eartha Kitt
Ooh, fun game!
Anyone else? What theme songs do you see in the characters assembled here tonight?
NGPZ
One of them gotta be “Paralyzer” by Finger Eleven ^^
Laura
Oh, yes, those lyrics just scream “Amber” right now!

Alcohol affects the body, which they share, so I assume yes.

…Yes, obviously she would. DID isn’t magic.

So is Amber pissed about the Asher thing, or about the ‘well you have… video games?’ comment?
Dante
Yes

StClair
definitely the video games.
Armadillo
The video game thing has become a sore subject ever since a certain record got broken.
Michael Steamweed
Is she STILL going on about that? Sheesh, talk about a broken record!
(thankyouthankyoui’llbehereallnightpleasetipyourwaitstaff)
Newlland(Henryvolt)
Pooh wait she’s still sore about losing the Mario Kart world record to Sal…well I guess that literally was a big thing to her she had going.
Switchchris
Wasn’t it also earlier that day? lol. its still a very fresh wound.
staszu13
Yeah time goes slowly indeed in the Dumbiverse
Reaver
It was a few hours ago at most, yeah she’s still allowed to be sore/upset about something she cares about being taken from her yeah.
Wereg
It happened like a few hours ago at most, and she hasn’t had time away from people to process. I can’t blame her for still being upset about that.
Needfuldoer
Mostly the video games thing. Sounds like Asher doesn’t know about Sal’s record-breaking yet.
Needfuldoer
Asher doesn’t know, so he hasn’t told Ethan who also doesn’t know.
(Whew, salvaged that one. I swear I know which character is which.)
staszu13
Video games. The Asher thing is meant to change the subject

little surprised the alt-text isn’t “ah, there’s the rage” xD

Ok, WAY depressed.

I’m surprised how quietly Becky and Dina are doing it while several conversations are happening.
That dinosaur plushie must muffle noises pretty well.
