--- Quote from: pallanox on 13 Sep 2018, 14:26 ---Her explanation to dale why she was in robot prison, didn't paint that she regretted her actions at all.

--- End quote ---

May doesn't express genuine emotions that might make her feel vulnerable easily.


--- Quote ---Her job, which she should have treated as repentance she complains about.

--- End quote ---

Ever worked at a convenience store?  The ones who don't complain are the ones you have to worry about.  :laugh:

Also, repentance? Aside from the humorous image of people prostrating themselves and confessing their sins while crying before a Seven/Eleven sign, she's already done that, you know, in prison. She did her time. And also, she did express her gratefulness to Dale about getting the job.

But a bad job is still a bad job.


--- Quote ---She isn't able to afford a new robot body? She thinks that everyone has it better without taking time to learn context. 

--- End quote ---

This is actually a quality of life issue for her. I think she was wrong when she lashed out at Winslow over his new body, but it's easy to understand why she did it. It's not a question of being envious of a guy's new smart phone, it's a question of being envious of a guy's functioning arm socket.


--- Quote ---She has had redeeming moments which is why we find her interesting

--- End quote ---

Is that a royal we?  :-P

cybersmurf:
I kinda wanna see Marigold in Faye's Bear shirt. Why? Mar-bear.

Maybe robo jail is having AIs do stuff, but with barely any processing power but to run their sentience. Like everything takes forever no matter what they do. Or they have no control about what is being passed through their consciousness, like May had to so fighter jet calculations.

QuestionableIntentions:
Urgh, here we go again with May's whining.

"I broke the law, how dare you all not forget that instantly!"

"She asked a question abou my past, HOW DARE SHE!"

God, May, get a fucking grib.

Is it cold in here?:
Hating ex-cons doesn't make us safer. Re-integrating them does. May shouldn't get another job at a bank but the better the livelihood she can pursue the better off society is.

I thought more about May's lack of reaction to her crime. The interesting thing here is we know for sure that she has a conscience. She felt apparently genuine regret about lashing out at Winslow. That's weight on the scale of the idea that she's not prefacing every complaint with "I know I fucked up but" because she's too ashamed to confront what she did.

--- Quote from: Thrudd on 13 Sep 2018, 14:54 ---On the subject of Robot Jail, my speculations have run to the following with equal yet more horrifying levels

* Isolation in a white space
* as above but having Customer service rep conversations passed through her "space" with no interaction
* again as the first but this time it is having all those fraudulent transactions streamed in a continuous loop with the court logs as narrative
* Isolation in darkness and the only light are the postings in 4chan - yes this is where satan goes potty

4chan?  What about Reddit?

--- End quote ---
Reddit is where the toilet flushes to after Satan goes potty.

--- End quote ---

So Hell’s cesspool?  Gotcha.

Dale is a better man than most.  I can empathize with May to a point and she’s capable of helping others at critical times, but her abrasive behavior doesn’t make her an easy person to like.
