Momo walks underwater. If she was an organic we would say she was heavy for her size.
Bubbles is much larger than Momo. If she were organic we would (presumably) say she was heavy for her size. So, she's heavy compared to what you'd expect of an organic the same large size, and you'd expect such an organic to be pretty heavy.
300 pounds would not surprise me, and somewhere around that range you can't automatically assume furniture can deal with you.

To be fair to Momo, I could do nothing in the water except walk on the bottom (and I could do that quite well) until I was 17 years old, when I finally learned to keep myself afloat and swim. So in her case, it could very well be that she simply does not know how to swim. Her weight and density may be completely irrelevant.
Someone a week or two ago speculated that Bubbles was 400 pounds, and questioned the structural integrity of their bed. My wimpy little twin bed is rated for 500 pounds. Faye’s bed is bigger than mine. So I looked up full (double) sized and queen sized beds to see. The first couple beds I found in either size — just simple wood-framed beds — were rated for 800 pounds. So I have no doubts about Faye’s bed being able to handle the two of them on it (because I doubt Bubbles weighs more than 300 pounds). Besides, we’ve seen the two of them lying together on the bed a long time ago.
Edit: I just realized that my diatribe on the strength of Faye’s bed sort of ignores the first line of your post — the line about being non-technical. ::)

A couple of points on relative AI mass: Momo is light enough that an average person can lift her. She's also short and slender, same as Winslow - I know a person who is less than 5 feet tall, and they have trouble keeping themselves above 90 pounds. Bubbles is well north of 6 feet, possibly approaching 7, and BUILT. Andre Roussimoff only hit 7'4", and he exceeded 500 lbs easily. Also, http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3150 - Bubbles has serious mass, and not all of that is the armor. Either that, or Emily is as diffuse physically as she is mentally and thus gets blown along the streets like an untethered kite.

No, it's definitely not "just lust." That's crazy. Bubbles and Faye have a very close bond that goes way beyond sexual stuff.
That's why this relationship feels so different. Faye never had such a close friendship with Sven or Angus prior to sleeping with either of them.

And you know what? Those guys can go to Ernie’s Garage on King Street for all their health care needs.
Or they can swallow their bigotry and go to skilled robot repair specialists who will give them top-quality care. Their call.

Maaaaaaybe you're overreacting?
Pretty sure all I did was point out that she has insecurities she hasn't addressed yet that she and bubbles will have to work on. Congratulations, she shares that in common with everybody starting a new relationship since the invention of dating.

Essentially. The worst possible thing one could say about it is that she omitted mentioning a momentary bit of doubt.

I would even say that not seeing Bubbles at the workshop was the electroshock she needed to make up her mind about what she really wanted, and now that she decided, what she previously thought is mostly irrelevant. Personaly, I don't think people have to confess all their passed irrelevant thoughts (because it was only a thought: Faye said internally she wanted to wait before taking any decison in regard of Bubbles, but it never came to it). I even don't think it would be very healthy.
