--- Quote from: BenRG on 25 Aug 2017, 01:59 ---Today, May learns that her most treasured dream is a fantasy, blown away like a waft of smoke in a strong wind by the unforgiving gale that is reality (You can tell I'm still bitter about dragons not being real, can't you?). Silliness aside, I find it interesting that May and Winslow have such an easygoing conversation. Although it has not been mentioned in-strip, it is clear that they are friends, to a certain interpretation of the word. They are clearly friendly enough together to be at ease with each other in most circumstances.

To a certain interpretation of the word, dragons were once real (just not so fantastical). 'Dinosaur' is still a relatively new word by comparison.

--- Quote from: Cornelius on 25 Aug 2017, 01:50 ---Hang on, is he using his old chassis to look things up?
--- End quote ---
Yes, he is. Its clear that his previous chassis is nothing more than a 'dumb' tablet computer with minimal limbs without an AI mind present. This strip is also an insight, I think, into how AIs view chassis in terms of 'personhood'. To them, it's just a bit of hardware to be used as intended (or even recycled) if there is no sentient mind present. I wonder if this extends to their attitude towards death in humans and their view of corpses?

Anyone else suddenly concerned about an AI opening a cannery in the QCverse? Especially if they're fans of suspense thrillers from the 70s?

--- Quote from: Shjade on 24 Aug 2017, 23:12 ---So he's not a nice enough guy to avoid enacting unnecessary violence toward another AI, but he's too nice to deserve getting yelled at by another AI?
--- End quote ---
Violence against Pintsize is seldom unnecessary.
Perfectly Reasonable:
I fed 'red hot' chips to pigeons today. They liked them fine. So did sparrows and starlings.
Now I have to find chips that are too hot for -me-.

--- Quote from: SmilingCat on 25 Aug 2017, 00:29 ---I might ask how you even remotely correlate getting yelled at for simply saying hi to someone with him being abusive.
--- End quote ---
I don't?
--- End quote ---
Except when you do?

Interesting. What exactly is this nebulous space Winslow inhabits in which he is simultaneously abusive and innocent?
--- End quote ---
Your own words. Winslow can't be abusive unless he deserved to get yelled at. Even though he literally did nothing but say hi to May in a new body to get yelled at. There is no correlation between the two, or any reason to link them at all. Yet you felt the need to bring it up again. Because... why exactly? Because you object to people liking Winslow?
Here's a secret, you can yell at someone without justification whether or not that person is a jerk. Because whether or not that person is a jerk does not determine whether or not you, yourself, are a jerk.
