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.

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)
--- End quote ---
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...

Personal headcanon was that she worked at a Wells Fargo :lol:

--- 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.
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
Also, I'd point out that May isn't exactly acting...that hatefully. Angry, and grumpy, and I think we all have that moment where we kinda want even our best of friends to bugger off. I think "hate" is a very strong word for a grumpy telling off.
But maybe that's just me.

Honestly I was expecting May to ask Winslow if his body was anatomically correct, rather than become the salt bot 5000

I was more meaning that she might be in a bad mood due to problems at work, not that she isn't responsible for her own problems.

--- Quote from: brasca on 15 Aug 2017, 08:40 ---While we're on the subject of privilege let's consider Winslow's benefactor, Hannelore. She has the money to buy this since her parents are super rich and she can ask them for money. She's only a barista because she wants to live a normal life to overcome her anxieties. If she were disowned the situation would be quite different. By May's logic Hannelore is a rich girl slumming it and yet she's said nothing like that to her. Perhaps her admiration blinds her.
--- End quote ---
Or perhaps Hannelore hasn't shown up at May's workplace to show off what she's been so easily purchasing with her wealth without considering the context of that conversation to then merit such a response from May.
--- End quote ---
How do you know this? There was probably some time between Hannelore leaving the space station to when she first met Marten. Perhaps she made similar faux pas or worse. I wouldn't be surprised considering her many anxieties. While I can understand some of the resentment taking it out on Winslow changes nothing. Moreover, it can be interpreted in different ways and one might be to disassociate completely from disadvantaged AIs to avoid problems. That wouldn't be good since not everyone in May's predicament has the same attitude.
