--- Quote from: Milayna on 31 Dec 2018, 22:12 ---Huh. So I'm kind of going to have to call Lemon out on this, from what i can remember when I had a therapist 10 years ago, turning the therapy around on yourself is pretty dang unprofessional.

You're right! She's not doing a very good job.

Professionally speaking, no not really. Although I think the distraction of it was useful at the moment, roko was going full panic spiral and the topic switch both breaks this spiral for a moment, as potentially provides a lever to be able to look at her own perspective more from a mental place instead of fully in the emotion. By identifying or sympathising with another first, it's often easier to more purposefully sympathise and work with your own emotions from a healthier standpoint. I mean, variants of this process are actually used professionally. It's just not *how* you're supposed to do it.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 31 Dec 2018, 18:11 ---Very much unlike their minds, the bodies of QC synthetics seem to be manufactured assembly-line quality-controlled items.
Roko could presumably get a near-identical replacement.
Would that be good enough?

It depends to what level she'd fine-tuned her sensor settings and parts to her preferences; she could be in for months of monkeying around with her preferences trying to get the darn thing working right.
There is also the psychological problems that sci-fi occasionally directs towards cloning. It looks like her body but she knows it isn't her body. That could lead to disabling dysphoric issues.

Oh dear. I'm sure the bread fetish is somehow tied into her sensory array.
What happens to her when the smell of baking bread becomes... normal?
Poor thing.
Cattus:
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!
themacnut:
Most of our evolutionary development went into our intellect, which in turn develops safety devices for our delicate parts like helmets for our heads and various kinds of armor for the rest. If you're not wearing any of that when something bad happens, well, that's the price you pay for random evolution. Now on the other hand, when we learn enough about the genetic code to be to engineer things like humans born with thicker skulls, then evolution will get more directed.
Milayna:
Millions of years of evolution also produced mice and aphids and those are pretty dang squishy
