oeoek:
It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
There's a touch of madness in Claire's eyes...

She probably didn't tell Jim where he went for the same reason she didn't want to tell him how the injury happened.
The way I see it, Jim is like "I don't even want to put up with that shit" half the time. Maybe he's on the edge of not being able to cope with it anymore, but Faye seems to have some control over her, so she's allowed some degreee of freedom with Sam.

--- Quote from: Scarlet Manuka on 16 Aug 2018, 21:02 ---Going back to Sam and Faye - several people have assumed or speculated that Sam was at the shop without Jim's knowledge. But I was just reading back a bit and saw in #3800 that not only had Faye made Sam call Jim to get permission, but Faye specifically promised that "I'll make sure she comes back with the right number of fingers. Yeah, they'll still be attached to her." (I too had forgotten this detail.)
The fact that she messed up the exact thing she promised wouldn't happen changes the complexion of Jim's response to her quite a bit, I think, and makes it more natural.

Well, Sam still has the same amount of fingers, and none had to be reattached. This incident is what Jim was thinking of, but failed to communicate just how inconsiderate Sam csn be with her life choices. Can you blame Faye for what happened? Yes, totally. Is Jim overreacting? in my eyes, yes. He could have told Faye "Look, this is what happens when you don't look after Sam properly. She still can go to the shop, but no more power tools.", and it would've been OK in my eyes.

He did.

--- Quote from: OldGoat on 14 Aug 2018, 08:18 ---Waxing theological here - If souls are a real thing, AIs in the QCverse must have them given the range of behaviors and introspection we've seen. And if AIs have souls, Bubbles has an old one, probably a very old one, and AIs are a recent form of sentient life. Therefore, AI souls must come from the same place as human's. They ARE people.
Now I'll go back to thinking about how to optimize the Maillard reaction on precooked pork sausages. (It's breakfast time.)

Hmmm....... Perhaps they earn one based on behavior/deeds?
Yes, that would mean that some are awarded souls specifically so they can be sent to Hell. But, perhaps they earn said soul upon commenting the act that would damn them, thus giving them a chance to redeem themselves.
Right now, Bubbles and Momo very probably have souls. Melon and Arthur probably don't. If Pintsize has a soul, it's likely doomed to wander or gets some sort of purgatory.
Cornelius:
It is an ancient AnthroPC,
And he stoppeth one of three.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?
Yep, that's got Pintsize written all over it.
