So the next two months of Mary Worth strips will be Dawn screwing up in relationships (again, as she always does) before Mary finally sits her down with a rhubarb pie and gently explains to her the joys of settling, and settling hard

By the way, have I ever introduced you to....William burr?
Many people will read this as a humorous exaggeration. But my sister, whose most fervent act of rebellion was starting a Catholic apologia book club at the Church of Christ college we attended, had real theological angst about taking birth control to help control her severe acne as a chaste young adult. The struggle is real, even if the judgmental deity is out of the picture.

Given the history we know about Willis I'm fairly certain that the content about what fundamentalists believe and how they act in response to those beliefs is the one part of DoA with zero exaggeration for humorous effect.

Oh yeah, I was surprised my own self at how long the irrational beliefs I allowed myself to acquire during my christian faithful period (from when I was 8 years old to my mother's death when I was 15) continued to affect the things I said and my overall behavior until long after I stopped believing in them. It's like the notions I believed were one set, and the notions I acted upon were another.
I think this mental compartmentalization occurs when you make a conscious effort to believe something is true when you know that it's false or uncertain. It's a splitting of the knowledge database into what you know (like object permanence, your existence, the existence of your environment and the things in it, logical truths, knowledge you use from moment to moment) and what you think you ought to consider as what you know (your faith, basically). Your brain does this, I suspect, to protect the knowledge you actually need to survive from your ignorant meddling.
It sucks, because any logical truth that you come up with when suffering from compartmentalization risks not being put in the proper compartment. That's what happened to me. I was coming to understand all these complex truths about the nature of personhood (the category of phenomena human beings belong to) but it didn't get sorted into the things I knew so I didn't use them in everyday life, much to my detriment and the annoyance (and sometimes detriment) of the people around me.
I've been trying to make whole my knowledge base for the last 14 years now, and I've made the most progress in the last few months, after I stopped, with my psychiatrist's approval, taking psychoactive medication on a regular basis. You can't fix a lack of understanding with drugs, unfortunately. Now I'm looking for a psychotherapist, but I'm not waiting for one to start adopting better habits and improving my understanding of myself and the rest of the world better.
Ah, No No Kuni. The first gacha game to force crypto on its players, because all the best stuff can only be bought with the crypto coin shoved into that game. Just in time for Global server release!
"Corruption! Don't do it"? Isn't that a little... prescriptive to be part of the curriculum for a science class, political or otherwise? Does she think she's training future politicians here?

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
