Ouch! Lots of white text on a black background makes my eyes hurt.
That was a good, well-written story, but the twist lacked plausibility.
spoilerspoiler (click to show/hide)Constructing a large city for tens of millions of people would be such an important and costly project that it wouldn't be left to whims of a person who'd needlessly add human emotion and frailty to the robots. Making robots that sleep, take showers, and goof around at work like humans would be terribly inefficient. Such a large city wouldn't be built if there weren't human that needed it immediately; thus, it would make much more sense to build robots that could work for 24 hours a day and feel no bitter emotions.[close]

The "sleeping" is chargign and the shower is probs. a disinfect or something, right? Cajole, you should use that build an allegory- How we ascribe some much existential sensation to our daily routines when in fact they're little more than utilitarian necessity.
That day Riley was running fiber-optic wiring through a new building, and the work was going more slowly than he could ever remember. His fellow laborers were more apt to take breaks and bullshit, not taking their foreman’s warnings seriously.
spoiler (click to show/hide)Maybe I should just elaborate more the point that the guy in charge of building the city is living out a sort of twisted fantasy with these robots.[close]
spoiler (click to show/hide)Did I say in charge of building the city? I meant building the city just because he can.
I guess this is why you're becoming a lawyer.I hate you already. :maf[close]

Irony much? ;)
When I am REALLY bored, I will go to my local network news site (which has comments set up for the news stories they post) and troll the conservative neanderthals that live in my backwards state. It's fun-most of them have obviously not used the internet very much and its very easy to agitate them-with the added bonus of the site not being well moderated, which lets me do things like insult their children and beliefs with near complete impunity.
