Which points a spotlight at the question, why haven't they? (Aside from the fact that it's a comic and designed to be funny rather than logical...

Yeah, that would be me. I've always wondered why the robots weren't doing jobs around town as they wouldn't have the same problems employing a human would, but disregarded it as they're just there for comic relief and you aren't supposed to take them seriously. But now one is applying for a job, which causes a world of questions that have no rational answers. I'm going to try and avoid this one, it just ruins all logic in QC and kills it for me if I take it seriously.

You ever suffered from any mental disorder?

Are you asking me or PWHodges? You're quoting PWHodges, but the last line in that quote is mine, so...?
In any case, I take pills to stop me from having too much anxiety. There might be a ten-dollar word for that, but... it escapes me right now. The truth of the matter is, at this point I take pills because I'm addicted to them. For all I know I might not need them for their original purpose anymore, but I tried to stop taking them once and the results were agonising. I can only assume that is what they call "withdrawal symptoms". I'm a little less than comfortable with that realization, frankly...
To go into the implications of that question, and that answer... I'm perfectly comfortable with this particular difference from the norm being pathologised. It isn't very nice, you see. If it was a difference from the norm with which I was comfortable and which caused no apparent problems in my life, I might feel different, but panic attacks are not pleasant. I most strongly recommend you never have one.

Maybe more jobs are unionized in the QC world, and there are contractual barriers to hiring AnthroPCs?
