I think another trick may be to move out of the damned community where the dominant population is elderly, and there is a 20% unemployment rate.
But anyways, Momo might not have much trouble getting a job. Machines being much more efficient then humans, never tiring, and never having to eat or for that matter excrete waste. So there is no need for time wasters such as breaks. In fact! The QC universe's job market may start to be fully replaced by machines soon! They will start taking over the world, not violently, but economically.
TinPenguin:
See, I said before that everyone would start treating Momo differently now - and look - Faye called her 'kiddo'.
Momo is not a kiddo. But everyone will treat her like one. Not necessarily a bad thing, mark you; I'm just pointing out that nobody would ever have thought of calling Momo 'kiddo' before, even though she was the exact same character.
Of course, that in itself is a question - IS Momo the same character? Is character defined by personality or shape? Everyone will rush to say that personality is the most important, but how much of a difference does the shape make? If you could suddenly wake up one day in a different body, would you act differently? We certainly know Momo has behaved a little differently since the new chassis, but is that enough to make her a different 'person'?
I have to say that Momo's transformation reminds me very strongly of the feeling you get when meeting someone for the first time in ten years or so, having last seen them as a child. That young kid who you remember being a cute little eight year-old, now a grown adult in their twenties. It's entirely disconcerting.
cesariojpn:
Momo is going homicidal. That's not gonna bode well.
snubnose:
Todays comic is very un-momo-tan.

On the risk of wandering astray in the wrong thread: When we consider the impact of culture - in other words: The influence of other people on our values, thinking habits, our behaviour - as "programming", we certainly receive a reprogramming from our community when we alter our visual appearance. What was the point in fashion again?
