Point, but remember May's barbie-doll anatomy. She's intensely aware of it, and she *knows* that's going to seem weird to a human. And I get the impression, given the array of noodle implements lying around, that they were actively *trying* to achieve weird. Possibly, on her part, as a strategy (successful! YAY!) to distract him from the weirdness of the barbie-doll anatomy.

Please read this post back and imagine May is trans rather than a robot.

From a trans guy
--- Quote ---Then the real test comes: You've never really had any romantic attachment before. For some reason it has always felt wrong and you've avoided it. Sure sometimes you take special care, go out wearing a shirt and tie, bind the chest and uh. something in the trousers. It feels good but as soon as you start talking to someone, your voice gives you away as a pretender, a wannabe.
But someone comes along, someone that you could talk to forever, hold forever. She's a beautiful woman and God, you Want her. She's keen on you too and before you know wht's happening, you're lying, naked, warm and relaxed in a mutual embrace. But even in ecstasy (and that's hard enough), you can't fully suppress the screaming in your head. Your body is wrong.

That's a BIT mean, May, *lol*
Plus, Momo would be REALLY jealous if Sven carried her home...

On the subject of proprietary charging cables, I'd suspect it's like the Macs that the schools and some government offices always used for so long. A company got an in with the government to supply the chassis, and the government went along with it either in a misguided attempt to save money or due to heavy lobbying.
It's only a civil rights issue if you can demonstrate a quality of life problem to enough people in power loudly enough in a way that makes the people that elect them care. Up until that point it's just a lucrative market that's locked into your design standards and out of your competitors.

That could be an indication of unknown eye issues.
Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 23 May 2019, 17:03 ---How does a computer forget something?
--- End quote ---
May is not a computer.
Unlike the 'weird' remark, which she was clearly pleased about, I doubt she would be pleased about this characterisation.
--- End quote ---
When I asked Jeph in some Q&A about whether robots feel pain, he said something very close to "No, they're computers", and definitely used the word "computers".
I forget when this was, and it matters, since Jeph has steadily upgraded the status of the synthetics in the strip. It might no longer be the appropriate term. I vaguely remember it was after Momo's upgrade but can't even be sure of that.
If May were real I would ask her and abide by her answer.
