Does anyone else find it a little annoying that in standard English usage, ‘or’ is logical XOR, i.e. A or B but not both, whereas there’s no reason why ‘A or B’ shouldn’t mean ‘at least one of A and B’?
Nope. That is why we have ‘and’.
“Either you win them over, or you convince them you’re nuts!” or that you totally lack sincerity and are just being manipulative. If you set up a situation where you must win them over it means you are starting from a losing position.
Abbie in the last panel! X°D
All but Atsali are displaying formidable canine teeth.
That’s because she’s keeping calm-ish 😀
That’s Paul’s shorthand for “supernatural”. Pretty much every Para has sharp teeth.
I was under the impression that fangs became more prominent as more of their para side manifested. Hence, wings out, fangs out.
What became of Nadette?
Was wondering that as well, she is still around somewhere, probably curled in a ball too afraid to watch
“Either you win them over, or you convince them you’re nuts!”
or possibly both!

Nope. I stick with English usage and leave Boolean algebra alone.
I find it slightly annoying but I am a mathematician….
I’m steamed that there’s a word for a + b (Both), but no word for A + B + C.
“She’s both smart, beautiful and rich.”

@Jayessell:”I’m steamed that there’s a word for a + b (Both), but no word for A + B + C.
“She’s both smart, beautiful and rich.””
BUT there is such a word: “UNFAIR!”
@Nim: perhaps, but our girl Atsalli is sincerity incarnate.
Yes there is, it’s called “and slash or”, typically written down as “and/or” (some people don’t pronounce the slash and simply say “Andor”)
🙂
“Awkward walking disaster.” That’s how I felt in high school too…
Best way to take the bluster out of someone: admit your error and take full responsibility
