I wasn’t ready for the level to this comic.
So, wait -- now Coffee of Doom has a counter display with baked goods?!? When did that happen?!?
I think they have a partnership with a bakery. Maybe the secret bakery, don't remember. I think it was after a break up when one of the characters was looking for a different place to hang and discovered a bakery.
May in panel 2 and 3 is just the best. Keeps getting funnier the more I look at it.
May has a gift of getting directly to the core of an issue. And then kicking it in the nuts.
She also has the gift of perspective. Both are excellent problem-solving skills. Now if she could just learn a bit of tact...
I am suddenly very envious. I bet an AI switching careers could be as simple as downloading new software and they're set to go, but I would love if Jeph showed us Roko exploring AI education and career training. :)
Well, we know from Momo there were quite a lot of old fashioned learning involved (Although she DID download the library catalog... including the erotica section) If nothing else, learning to navigate the social fabric of a new workplace is a work in itself.
When you roll 20 on Persuasion and waste it on a silly random encounter at the inn
Or a baker
the Pygmalion of bread (?)
yay, finally i can identify with Roko in any way or be fond of her as a character!
May’s new career path as a motivational speaker reveals itself
And so began Roko's new career as a baking and fetish blogger.
It's these occasional bouts of unbridled positivity that keep me reading QC every day.
Last panel would make a neat T-shirt.
middle of the night is when I ponder most of life's questions
I think that Roko was about 99% of the way to that decision anyway May. You just made her think about the look on her boss's face when she quits. So what just happened is that you inadvertently encouraged her to think of the bright side of her decision. The girl doesn't know it, but she's a lot like Pintsize! She just isn't conscious of what a good counsellor she can be! You know, there could be a last-reel surprise. Maybe, on her way to quit, Roko saves someone's life or (accidentally) busts a major perp and rediscovers her joy in her work. Or maybe something weirder like SpookyBot suddenly hiring her as their agent on the inside in the Massachusetts State Police.
"Last-reel surprise"... You're giving away your age a little there.
All Cops Are Becoming knitting supplies retailers
AI Cops Are Bakers
And what are we doing at 1:00 am worrying about this stuff?
Lots of Europeans apparently follow Jeph (o:
Also, for an AI is sexual orientation reprogramable?
Aren't AIs grown in this universe? If that's the case, nothing is reprogrammable for them.
If a social worker needs an MSW degree, can that be accomplished for an AI with a few minutes of reprogramming? She may need supervised practicum, but surely re-education can be abbreviated.
Actually- that would be true for humans too. There's abbreviated programs for law enforcement seeking an MSW depending on work experience. You still have to get your practicum hours, and supervised hours for licensure but its a thing.
Man don't be a social worker Basalisk... We still have to work with cops and I dunno that I can tell you that there's any less beating your head against a brick wall of bureaucracy
Hope the Secret Bakery is hiring.
Maybe Roko can be a Parole Officer and help ex-cons who are being discriminated against. Or she can just go bake bread.
Bake bread?! L-lewd!
Roko loco?
I'm not sure that will earn May any parole points.
Can't wait for Jeph to join the #AbolishPolice movement :D
Sometimes what you need in life is just someone to tell you what it is you actually want to do, because until they do you might not realise that's what you want.
Good for her! People should like their jobs.
Um
What
Welp, now I need a neck brace because I got whiplash from that turnaround!
AND THEN, THEY FUCKED.
YES. I am so shipping Roko and May now. Like superhard, like I never knew I needed them until now but I SO DO
Dale. That is all.
Social workers engage with a lot of the same elements of society as police officers, but they're not allowed to gun down anybody who looks at them funny. It's kind of like Hard Mode Police Work.
Social workers also have to have masters degrees
That's just about the BEST in a while. Made me laugh out loud.
Bwahahahaha
Einstein said figure out what you like to do, and then figure out how to make money doing it.
Now, if more cops would follow suit...
Hooray!
Woooooah!!!
That last panel encapsulates two of my most common emotional states.
Well it's not like we saw more tan a couple of pages of her doing cop things.
Daaaaaang.
Dang!
She should totes be a baker. She could apprentice with Jim. Is that his name? Jim?
I have this theory that Jimbo the pulp speculative fiction writer is just Jim the baker when he's drunk. That or they're half-brothers.
Holy shit, is she really gonna go work at the Secret Bakery?
