Not to nit pick, but Winslow has has scorpions crawl into seems, hence while he make very well be water _resistant_, he's clearly not entirely airtight... and therefore, given the density of a his servos, not very likely boyant... just saying.
Im confused: why all the posts about them/they? This is Winslow, not Tilly. Was Tilly in the original? Winslow isn’t non-binary, or did i miss a comic??
Tilly expressed a preference for a 'they', non-binary type pronoun. Tilly was a PA hired by Hanner's mother to help Hanners.. against Hanner's wishes (some kind of corporate power negotiation). Hanners felt Tilly deserved something better and arranged for her to work with her father.. someone who is appears to be almost obsessively absent minded.
I wonder if her dad knows Yaaaaaaay. I am imagining her dad producing a statement about the unfairness of the system, and Y'ay providing mysteriously appropriate anonymous unsolicited footage of several unfortunates to an NPR reporter, with May carefully edited in as the most egregiously unfair example...
I feel like Hanners' dad may not know Yaaaaaaay, but Yaaaaaaay knows Hanners' dad. That said, there doesn't need to be that sort of a connection for these mysteriously appropriate anonymous unsolicited footage submissions to happen after the issue is publicized. Yay knows Roko, after all. I'm not sure that May will be the most egregiously unfair example. I mean, yeah, her lot is pretty rough. But her case doesn't seem like she was treated maliciously, and I expect that there are some who have been. Not that the system makes that happen, but it allows that to happen, and AIs have emotion, too.
Hanners, you should know just how naive poor Winslow is! He has the rosiest of rose colored glasses! He's the purest cinnamon bun!
Yay Hanners! I’ve missed her!!!
And then there is Winslow's non-square speech bubbles!
Hey Jeph, Tilly isn't she/her.
Oh gods, is Hanners misgendering them?
Hurray, Winslow gets to see Roko!
Haaaaaaaaannnnnneeeeeeeerrrrrrrs! Just sayin'. Somebody has to. Might as well be me.
Yep. Always glad to see more Tannelore in the comic.
The first crush is the worst! The second one is the worst, too. You won't enjoy the third one at all. After that, you'll go into a decline...
... and then end up parking cars in a car park. Because what else do you do in a car park?
I was close.
Deep end of the pool isn't the metaphor I would use. A ocean full of bull sharks is more accurate.
With lasers on their heads!
So was the accidental misgendering of Tilly a mistake by Hanners or Jeph?
Or Tilly found his true self in orbit, and likes the name.
Winslow's coolant pump is in the right place, but interfering kinda robs Roko of her agency, and goes against May's explicit wishes. This won't end well, I'm afraid.
I think robbing of agency would be more like Hanners asking her dad to just do the thing, as opposed to contacting Roko to see if he can be of some assistance, and as the assistance is likely to be in addressing the systemic issues and not just replacing May's body, I don't see how it violates her explicit wishes.
Doesn't Tilly use They/Them pronouns, or am i remembering wrong?
They do. Either Jeph or Hanners made a mistake here.
Winslow, Momo, and May are going to be like best friends with benefits.
May, at least, should have some benefits from this. :)
I wanna smoosh his cute lil face
I've noticed in the last couple of days, the pop out image is low res, where it used to be high. Anyone else, or is it just my brains?
I saw it like that on mobile a couple of days ago, but now on both mobile and my laptop it's high res
I've been waiting for this. Nothing burns down bureaucratic barriers like major donors.
We don't know if he's a major donor. Not all rich people donate to politics.
*theyll make sure, not she
Was going to say the same thing.
