Wow, early comic this evening.

And it looks like Evie might need someone to have a word with her about making people feel uncomfortable.

Huh.

Today's comic makes me oddly nostalgic for freshman year in college, in which I wrote a tiny research project/essay on American fascination with Japanese culture. Not actual Japanese culture, just the parts of it exaggerated/fetishized in America and looking into why those things and in what way etc.

You can fall into a deep hole fast with this kind of thing.

As a former Psych major, I see where Evie is coming from. Near the end, I had some freinds have to gently remind me that people were not test subjects and I needed to poke less.

Would that be the 50's Rock'n'Roll Greasers or maybe the Disco Dudes? Elvisies's?  Ann of Green Gables ... oh wait a sec, that's Canadian.  I have no idea what I am talking about .... except maybe sleep ... it is an addiction but I just can't seem to break the habit / need and withdrawal is horribly debilitating.  :psyduck:

"All of the Above" is the obvious and only answer for the poll, at least to me. The four people in Union Robotics right now have such a lot of high-stacked neuroses and inadequate social instincts that someone offending someone else is almost inevitable and all of them accidentally saying something offensive/stupid at least once is just as much so.

In some ways, I'm smiling and nodding at Bubbles' reaction here. She isn't happy with Evie's approach to her and is showing it in panel 4 but Evie clearly isn't getting the non-verbal message! Once, this would have sent Bubbles into a rage but, after being steadily inoculated to this mindset by long association with Emily and, to a lesser extent, Faye, she's only feeling annoyance and maybe a little amazed by this conversation... Well, lecture actually.

The big take-away? Whilst distrust and suspicion are instinctive reactions to something different, it takes time and effort to put energy into something as complex and sustained as hate.

The barrage of lecturing and not listening could be a smoke screen to cover her fear of Bubbles. I wonder how many AI's she has actually met, as opposed to theorizing distantly about them...

Actually, getting a PhD feels like being pregnant, in your head.



P.S.: This coming from a cis male, so YMMV.

P.P.S.: The old dude at the top of the hill is a mere eight years your senior and you spend most hours psyching yourself up to make an appointment where he can tell you it needs to be a bit more roundish, but other wise not half bad, and please not to forget that in the end, it's totally your responsibility to decide when it's finished.

P.P.P.S.: You take until after the graduation ceremony to realize that this meant he trusted you and your work and wasn't a sign of him DGAFing and that you were getting on everybodies' nerves with your freaking out and shanghaiing them into reading your drafts again and again because "ZOMG, old dude DGAF!" and THAT THEY HAD BEEN TELLING YOU SO FOR WEEKS but it didn't register ...

Well, it's better than continually getting stood up when you make an appointment, and then being blamed for not involving them enough... that's when I abandoned my PhD ambition.

Welcome to Academia! Some supervisors are excellent (or so I hear), some are abysmal, some are just taking people on when they have no time, because funding. Enjoy. Also, not everyone fits in with academia, and you can't find out if you do until you've actually started going for research degrees, which means many wasted years where you could have been starting on the min wage tripe job treadmill earlier to possibly have some prospects.

You'd think Melon would have some sort of subroutine going that would instantly do an image search for new to her objects, and tell her what they were.  Then again maybe she does, but she has Safe Search mode on as default.

I believe he did commission one with Union Robotics, but I'm not sure it was animated.

Wow! Talk about coincidence! I'm almost ready to accuse Amanda of having hired Melon and asked her to come in at this very moment with this very problem! However, I think that Melon has got the impression that Faye is the 'nice repair lady' with whom she can be random and bizarre because random and bizarre are most of the products of her intelligence algorithm. Faye, meanwhile, appears to have come to accept Melon's weirdness as just being the price of having a reliable repeat customer.

IRL, you can find some weird stuff just thrown aside because people are done with it but an activated sex toy? Northampton is clearly a very, very strange place!

No, PR was referring to a much older arc (from about two years ago) when Pintsize built a self-ambulatory singing dildo that escaped whilst he and Winslow were filming an infomercial for the product. It is unlikely to be angry because Pintsize programmed it to always be happy.

He did mention studying German in school; however, conjuring up a neologism, and such a magnificent one like Arschersetzer (showcases all those nice fricatives & splosives German has! (*)), points toward a native speaker. And imo not just any old Kraut - a songwriter or poet, methinks.

I asked the Internet to pronounce 'Arschersetzer' for me. Didn't work.
But it did find me a Hell Orbs youtube video....
It was actually ... relevant..

I sorta feel bad for Melon, really.

Still, buyer beware and all that....  :-P

Melon must have been screaming at the insects that day when they were handing out a modicum of sense...

It would be interesting if Bubbles scolded Faye on being mean to Melon...  :angel:

As soon as I read this I thought of this.


Better call King Missile
In at least a few Native American cultures Coyote had a terrible time keeping track of his.  (I think that might have saying the things have minds of their own.)

Don't think that has ever come up in Gunnerkrigg Court.
Wonder why.

Hopefully someone will advise Melon to give her new pet a bath. Meanwhile, two full days away from Bubbles and Evie has me concerned that that conversation may have deteriorated...

It can't have gone TOO badly, or they'd have heard it from outside by now. And/or Evie would have been escorted out, most likely.

I think they're doing fine. Awkward, maybe, but fine.

I think that Jeph wants to make Melon his ultra-Emily. Sweet, unworldly and with no real concept of 'reality' but ultimately with a kindly soul.

I suppose that you could accuse Faye of abusing a trusting soul to get $100 for no real work on her part. However, when you look at the smile on Melon's face in panel 4, you realise that the objective truth would be a terrible cruelty to inflict on her. Instead, Faye has reduced the littering problem in Northampton and effectively got Melon and Arthur a pet. She's earned a consultancy fee if nothing else! :-D

Meanwhile, poor Amanda realises that, when one visits Union Robotics, one must check in one's sense of normality at the door!
