--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 19 Jan 2018, 08:03 ---Does anyone remember when Raven compared Faye being mean to a kitty scratching someone? Faye's comparison isn't unique to AIs. I don't think Faye meant anything bad by it.
I can be abrasive and I know I've even made the comparison of myself to cats that nobody takes at the shelter because they aren't immediately sweet and friendly.

One might argue that being compared to a cat is not nearly as insulting as being compared to a dog. Yeah, it's unfair for the dogs...
In several languages, "dog" is an insult. I don't know any where "cat" is.

'Catty' can be seen as an insult.
'Pussy' certainly can!
But yeah.. Dogz ROOL! :) (or is that Dogs Drool??)
--- End quote ---
Now you are stretching things a bit. If you go that road, "bitch" is also an insult, but it's not the same word and not the same meaning. Ok, I confess I didn't knew the word "catty". I'm always happy to enrich my english vocabulary... :-)

--- Quote from: JoeCovenant on 19 Jan 2018, 08:12 ---She didn't *pay* - she asked if the money she offered was enough.
IE: She put herself into Faye's hands re: what this should cost (if ANYTHING).
Faye took it all = Exploitation.

Snip-snip :-)
So to be reductive, our disagreement becomes (and do correct me if I'm wrong)
"That's awful! All she did offscreen was look at a vibrator for a few seconds! She can't possibly justify taking that much money"
"Hmmm. I guess offscreen she checked over the object, handled an unsanitary product and served a customer. Maybe that's worth $100. I can see why she took the money"
In which case, we are now arguing about fictional events we never saw. Which is certainly the point at which I start to feel a little silly.
So a courteous bow to you sir and others as worthy opponents. I find honour to be satisfied and withdraw from the duel. :wink:

English: "She's a catty woman".

TheEvilDog:
There is an alternative that people have not considered.
What if Melon wanted to give the business money?
Its clear that Union Robotics isn't doing that well if Faye isn't budgeting money for something vital like food. Sure, they're doing repairs and doing a little ink, but that's not going to keep things afloat for too long.
Word might have gotten out that UR is fairly quiet and to an eccentric AI like Melon, she might want to help without looking like she's helping. Therefore, grab a dildo, take it in for a "check", pays the fee and throws in a substantial tip.
Sure, this is a wild theory, but it still certainly merits some thought.

That's an excellent theory!
I don't care if it's based on nothing but supposition - I will die on this Hill, because it's either that or ;
a) Faye was an exploitative... person
or
b) Melon is WAY to infantile to be given money!
