Yup, Sarah probably didn’t act like she does now before the drama happened last year. Her asshole facade is a defense mechanism to keep people from hurting her again like Radiah and the rest.
It’s entirely possible Jacob knew her pre-drama and that’s why he’s more understanding.

Jacob’s a freshman like most of the cast. He didn’t know her before.
Some people are angry when they’re drunk, some are happy, some are sad. My default mode turns out to be “wants to find a nice corner to sit in and read a book”. But I can’t read a book, the pages are all blurry.
I am just surprise given the size of that jug, that people can even get a buzz. I figured by now, with that many people, it empty and all got at least 1 cup. Guess its a bottomless jug. Heh
The place is only gonna become more and more of an alt-right echo chamber as we get further into the election cycle.
If you’re an aspiring artist or indie game dev or something looking to grow your audience, you’re better of promoting yourself elsewhere, the algorithm just gonna bury your posts under provocative political shit and a beyond severe bot problem.
Yes, I get to decide what auto-starts and auto-connects. Also, on my computer they are programs, not apps.
Taffy
I definitely agree with the apps/programs split. Could probably also exercise better cyber security too, but goddamn is it a lot to remember now. Every single thing needs an account, usually for no damn reason.
Nah, I think AG likes Amber fine (or that’s how I kinda see it) but she just wishes Amber would deal with all her neuroses in a healthier way than being an internet gremlin and crimefighting.
Mturtle7
…I mean, AMBER’S not the one dealing with her neuroses by crimefighting, remember. Amazi-Girl is trying to cut down on the crimefighting, but she regards it entirely as her own bad habit, I think. I do interpret her as sort of resenting Amber for designating AG as her personal warrant officer, though. And, yes, ALSO for being an internet gremlin, but that’s neither here nor there.
I wonder if I should consider it a good sign that Ethan is proactively speaking to her. I guess she did lead to him getting a fuckbuddy, so maybe he’s warming to her more again.
Fuck it, fill the site with impenetrable hatred, who fuckin’ cares? It’s not like the people using it are actually remembering anything they just watched.
It is kind of nice. There was a tad too much fighting in the comments for my liking the last few weeks (or months). Makes me uncomfortable and not want to read the comments.
Whelp. Time to start one. Let’s get the conversation going with Ethan. He’s kind of a jerk now. Remember that time he got held hostage by Sal? He has a moral high ground with her and should use that as leverage to get Sal to apologize to Amber for beating her Super Mario Bros record. Yep. I totally stand by this comment. Opinions?
I think there just isn’t a lot to add to it, plus like it’s been said, we already knew Amber is too online. This is probably a bit of a breather for folks as more social friction plays out.
I confess I love the drama >.< but it also gets me worked up sometimes so maybe a calmer strip is good.
Taffy
According to an episode of Death Battle featuring the Incredible Hulk (which I have not fact checked or looked into, and may even be misremembering), the human body can only generate so much of the anger chemical before it just stops and reverts to apathy. Strips like this keep the fandom from experiencing that overload, which is a good thing and encourages people to walk barefoot on some grass.

Drunk overprotective Sarah interrupting Joyce in 5…4..
jeffepp
My money’s on her being a hugger.
True Survivor
That would hilarious and actually pretty fitting.

I’ve never related to Amber more.
Some people are angry when they’re drunk, some are happy, some are sad. My default mode turns out to be “wants to find a nice corner to sit in and read a book”. But I can’t read a book, the pages are all blurry.
So I don’t drink much.
Cholma
Yeah, quiet drunk here. I fade even more into the shadows than I usually do!
True Survivor

I wish I could up vote you, give you hearts, give Reddit awards, Facebook Likes, and whatever the hell other soc med type places do!

Some people just get sleepy.

That’s not fair. There was inclination now.

I am just surprise given the size of that jug, that people can even get a buzz. I figured by now, with that many people, it empty and all got at least 1 cup. Guess its a bottomless jug. Heh
thejeff
They’re all getting a shot or two, mixed with a cup of Sprite.
None of these are hardcore enough to be drinking a cup of whiskey.
Ed Rhodes
I’m rude when I’m drunk. So I don’t drink.
Sirksome
I guess kids these days are now on tiktok over twitter.
Thag Simmons
we’re gonna get to the points where kids might forget it’s called twitter and might start believing Musk when he says it’s actually called ‘X’
John Campbell
There is no X but X11, and Athena is its Project.
Clif
There is only one true Wayland and X.org is its provider.
Durandal_1707
There is no Wayland but Yutani, and Xenomorph is its profit margin
Nono
I don’t use TikTok but I think they’re still pretty prevalent on Twitter?
I wonder if ANY of them even use Facebook now though, even most millennials pretty much dropped it in the last several years.
Dara
Twitter is a fascist disinformation fountain owned by a grotesque manchild who thinks that it should be illegal not to pay him money. It should be used by no one.
Proto
Well yes, but it still is used by lots of people anyway unfortunately…
Needfuldoer
Making Twitter a load-bearing component of “web 2.0” was a mistake.

HueSatLight
logging onto discord to tell everyone you’re drunk.
Taffy
Do people log out of their apps before closing them, like their personal device is the local library’s computer?
Bash
Logging on can be slang for opening the app.
eh, whatever
Well, I certainly hope people do this with apps that track you, like Farcebork for example.
HueSatLight

Clif
Leaving all your apps logged in works really great when you lose your mobile device.
Do I do it anyway? Oh, look! A UFO!
Dara
i have absolutely done this
i regret nothing and would absolutely do it again
NGPZ
i’ve done this multiple times LOL XD
Proto
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Wonder what kind of fanfiction Amber writes while drunk.
Also gosh is this gonna not sit well with Amazi-Girl later?
Doctor_Who
Amber: “Oh my god, I wrote over 10,000 words last night, what horrifying depravity could I possibly have…”
(cozy coffee shop AU where all the characters are friends and communicate their feelings in a mature and respectable manner)
Amber: “My god, it’s worse than I thought!”
StClair
and there’s no hot sex at all, just the occasional friendly platonic hug!
Needfuldoer
Haha, okay.
Max
And they sing “Smelly Cat.” Shudder.
Michael Steamweed
Working title: Wising of Age.
Oh the horror! Oh the humanity!
Clif
Amazigirl had a low opinion of Amber anyway.
Proto
Nah, I think AG likes Amber fine (or that’s how I kinda see it) but she just wishes Amber would deal with all her neuroses in a healthier way than being an internet gremlin and crimefighting.

YEAH, CALL US IN THE MORNING. WE’LL BE DRUNK!
Cattleprod
Good character silhouettes mean I knew it was Sal before looking at the tags.
Michael Steamweed
Sal hair is immediately identifiable. Sarah hair too.
BBCC
Tiktok is used to it and deserves it.

True!
Michael Steamweed
Sex can go a long way toward helping with depression.
Taffy
Fuck it, fill the site with impenetrable hatred, who fuckin’ cares? It’s not like the people using it are actually remembering anything they just watched.
Jamie
Would it be better or worse if they did?
Taffy
That’s the wrong question.
clif
What’s the right question?
Needfuldoer
Tiktok is the Twitter of video, and Twitter is the potato chips of websites.
NGPZ
They might as well rename Twitter to Nope.
’cause when you see the bloody provocative political crap mixed in with comfort content and shit in the trending section, you be like
NOPE!
IntangibleMatter
God forbid she logs into Reddit.
Needfuldoer
“My cranial roommate is vehemently opposed to drinking, but I’m in charge right now so I’m drinking anyway. AITA?”
Risky
Yay I got the lesbian horse dream banner at the top this time, that’s two more characters! Maybe three??
Bash
This is the least comments I have ever seen. Must be a particularly uncontroversial strip.
Taffy
We already know Amber posts too much. Posting a little more isn’t really all that interesting.
Queezle
It is kind of nice. There was a tad too much fighting in the comments for my liking the last few weeks (or months). Makes me uncomfortable and not want to read the comments.
Sirksome
Whelp. Time to start one. Let’s get the conversation going with Ethan. He’s kind of a jerk now. Remember that time he got held hostage by Sal? He has a moral high ground with her and should use that as leverage to get Sal to apologize to Amber for beating her Super Mario Bros record. Yep. I totally stand by this comment. Opinions?
clif
No.
staszu13
That was Ethan before. Ethan now wouldn’t care about Mario Kart etc
Amós Batista
I’m glad, so we can waste our time with theories, like: Sarah on First panel, Jacob going toward her in second one?
DailyBrad
