Kon: We primarily handle it by not giving a single flying fuck. We go about doing as we do with all the subtlety of a jackhammer, and if someone has a problem with that, they can say it to our face.
Cat: we don't really get this? But that's mostly on account of having internalized our role as a social wrecking ball. We will follow our trajectory, unyielding, and all the NTs are just going to have to deal with it.
Just: In my personal experience from way back when? Being such a terrifyingly violent little shit that no-one wants to risk setting you off may have its drawbacks, but it damn well works at getting bullies to knock it off. But being terrifyingly violent doesn't mean you need to be an asshole when not provoked.
Madeline: I haven't encountered any (that I know of), so cannot answer this question.
Madeline: Though I would be quite interested in what ANYONE would stand to gain from lying about the shape of the world. I'd really want to dissect those motives.
Cat: A nuclear lab isn't even in the right field to make human-animal hybrids.
Cat: For physical-world stuff? We've got a set of color-coded hairclips we use to indicate who's in front.

Cat: To slip poison into their food, duh.
Cat: Hey, don't knock an opportunity for a dinner with a shitstain billionaire. You'll never have a better chance to kill them.
Just: I'm in the latter category, but that's because I'm an avid pedestrian who's been almost run over FAR too many times.
Cat: Sorry, we'd rather keep our hand.
Cat: If someone can't be trusted to treat an adopted kid right, they can't be trusted to treat any kid right. End of story.
Cat: They shouldn't even be allowed access to the children they do make themselves.
Just: I am a specific process running on our brain.
Luci: We're going to get a non-plural family member to sit for a few minutes with the EEG on them to get a comparison.
Lucifer: In our non-canon continuation to this comic, the "I can fly!" guy is launched from a trebuchet over the Grand Canyon.
Cat: I would like to note that this still permits the Appeal To Force. My favorite logical fallacy.

Madeline: Fundamentally, I think it's fictitious.
Madeline: Point.
