Don't rule out the convenience store affect. I was pretty crabby the first time I had to make sure a heroin addict didn't kill herself in the bathroom, too.

--- Quote from: ChipNoir on 15 Aug 2017, 20:12 ---I don't think there's a single person that is arguing on behalf of May's...methods.
But the question is entirely more about Winslow's behavior and awareness of other people, and the bottom line is he really has no idea how to behave besides being a very basic, chipper person. Frankly...It can be a little grating when people walk blithely through life unaware of other people's problems.

There's actually nothing wrong with not being aware of the problems of every single person we meet. Tragically, omniscience isn't part of our feature package.

I'd argue that much of what we ignore or unaware of SHOULD be things we're aware of. Mind you, I'm still convinced May is more angry about his 'decision' more than him getting the chassis. As pointed out, she has no problem with Momo having a much better chassis. But Momo committed to earning it, and is very much aware of the fact that this is something deeply important to AIs as a whole.
Momo spends a lot of time studying the history of AI's and their struggles. That's why she was so earnest about getting her new chassis. Meanwhile I really don't think Winslow has ever tried to be aware of anything except his tiny world that revolved entirely around Hannelore and occasionally Pintsize.

Her job situation's her fault too, her crime was embezzlement, I don't blame anyone for not wanting to hire Miss Funds funneler for anything more than convenience/courtesy work (Which is what /I/ currently do for a living)

Does make me wonder what her job was that she had access to that kinda database in the first place. You'd think given her very obvious personality ...quirks, that they'd be skeptical about giving her such a job in the first place.
AI's are emergent. I still wonder if May might be a lot 'older' than we think...

That is true. I still think May is justified in her reaction. There's a difference between hating someone because they're better off than you and hating someone because they don't seem to care about your struggles. Maybe Winslow considered her too close a friend and the conflict came from that confusion.
