Comic's up!

Being drunk
Stressful situations
Receiving large sums of money
Magniras:
translation, Jeph likes Roko, but wanted to update her design. This way just has the benefit of letting her go into volunteering full time, and exploring AI psychology.

Given the last two, I'd combine them to just read "Intense emotions"
zisraelsen:
Yea, you're not wrong. in fact even in the first example she only lapsed into the accent when O'Malley pissed her off. I just phrased it like I did 'cuz I think lists are funny.

--- Quote from: Cattus on 01 Jan 2019, 10:30 ---I'm very glad to see that Roku will likely come out of this relatively unscathed - at least physically. The mental trauma may take some time.
Isn't anybody else surprised that after millions of years of evolution and survival of the fittest processes humans have become MORE susceptible to major damage from minor events? Look at gorillas or rhinos. You can wail on their bodies with a pipe wrench with relatively little effect. Why are we so goddanged 'delicate' I'm also thinking that we should all be fitted with reinforcement for our processors and memory cores. Could someone please get on that STAT!

'Survival of the Sickest'
Negative attribute that provides short-term immediate survival boost and leads to said attribute being propagated more readily. Examples; diabetes, sickle cell anemia. Excess sugar in the blood reduces risk of frostbite. Most commonly found in individuals with Scandinavian ancestry. Higher blood cell turnover rate reduces likelihood of malaria infection. Most commonly found in peoples native to the Malaria Belt.
TL;DR: Evolution does not and cannot plan. It works purely on hindsight.
