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)

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...
--- End quote ---
Personal headcanon was that she worked at a Wells Fargo :lol:
--- End quote ---
My own head cannon is that perhaps 'older' AI's that were emergent could have developed with a lot fewer of the social protocols that Momo and some other AI's have. It would be an interesting explanation for why some AI's are extremely devoted to the well being other others, while others are exceptionally machiavellion like CorpseWitch , and you have wild cards like May and Pintsize that are just...weird.
It's fun to think of the idea that May is one of the earlier AI's that emerged out of software that was meant to process financial records and databases with a human perspective, and nobody expected her to want a will of her own in those pioneer days, much less want her own body and be willing to steal money to get it. We know so very little of the time between the very first Emergent and what it took for AI's to be considered civilians with civil rights (Of which we're still not really sure what they are).

To be fair she's a significant advance beyond the SB100.

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.
--- End quote ---
Oh, yeah I can see that, I'ma salt mine after working 8 hours at my job too, but I don't typically lash out at my friends because of it...
I do that at coworkers.. :-D

I spend 8 hours a work day beaming, bubbling, and entertaining my customers.
So yes, when my clingy housemate decided after a 10 hour shift that he wants to use me as his sounding board for his insane self affirmations...
I kinda bit his head off...crunch.

--- Quote from: Shjade on 15 Aug 2017, 15:16 ---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?
--- End quote ---
If you're going to go hypothetical on fiction that could have happened off-page, how do you know May hasn't said anything like this to Hannelore? :roll:
What I know is what we've seen and what we haven't seen. We haven't seen Hannelore show up to remind May about how rich she is while May's at work, and no one's said she did it off-page, so until we hear otherwise, it hasn't happened.
Regarding the mess of posts quoting me above: I'll reiterate that May's still a pretty crappy person to be around, and I probably wouldn't consider her a friend myself. That doesn't make her reaction wrong or unjustified. As ChipNoir pointed out, it wasn't even extreme: Winslow was acting like access to life-changing resources is just casual whimsy in front of someone who struggles just to scrape by with basic life needs. That is, itself, pretty rude, and getting a rough response should come as no surprise.
To put it another way (bold added for emphasis):
--- Quote from: Reaver on 15 Aug 2017, 20:14 ---Winslow didn't do that, he walked up to someone he thought was a friend, and basically went "Look! I got a new body! I'm just like you guys now!"
--- End quote ---
Having someone with vastly greater opportunities than you drop by to act like you're the same because they just one day decided to do something you've spent years struggling to do is...insulting, to put it mildly. Even if it's not intentional, it trivializes what you had to do to reach the same goal they just met in an afternoon.
