SmilingCat:
I feel insignificant and powerless about most things, most of the time. It's practically my default state of mind.
Getting mad at people for being able to do more than you is not a healthy mindset. It's not righteous anger, it's envy, and it tends to eat you up inside, because you start convincing yourself you aren't worth anything unless you can get your hands on the same resources.
So I guess what I'm really saying is "hang in there, Roko. The money might come from a capricious AI that handed it over on a whim, but it's people like you who are the ones who are going to direct it to something worthwhile".
jwhouk:
It's not that Spookybot did the donations, it's that they did it in an unintentional "one-up" manner.
In short, it wasn't what they did, but how they did it, and when.
sitnspin:
She's not angry that they donated the money, she's angry at their attitude about it, that they are so cavalier about it and that they expect kudos for it. She feels they are being dismissive and flippant about something that is deeply emotionally important to her.
halstripey:
Dares a billionaire to donate all their money... Gets angry when they actually do it because of inferiority issues... Definitely one of the most mature characters.
Cagier Love:
Well, impulse control isn't one of this character's strong suits. Probably for the best it's not a cop anymore.
