Gyrre:
Oof! I hope Roko will recover from this.
Maybe removing or disabling the OopsieGuard software could be a sizable step in sorting out her disphoria?


We may not have had a lot when I was growing up, but my mom made her own jellies, jams, and preserves when she could. You really can't top homemade with storebought.

EDIT: typo fix. 'storebought' not 'storenought'.

pendrake:
1. RE: Poll (fruit preserves/spreads)
 - a.) Other (please specify) ~  I enjoy a Blueberry Jam &/or Preserves.  Not Blueberry Jelly though, those are generally too sweet (for me) and do not have a good texture for its spread and flavor-theme.  Sadly, Blueberry fruit spread(s) are generally Uncommon-to-Rare for availability.

 - b.) General Poll Choice(s) ~ In-general, I am fine with (enjoy as well) the more commonly available Orange Marmalade.  Though I also try to have Orange Marmalade made with actual oranges, sugar, and pectin.   This is opposed to the "marmalades" (note "quotations") packets &/or cheap-quality store bought brands, THOSE are often made from artificial components ("ingredients" may be too generous a term): citric acid (for that "orange" taste), high fructose corn syrup (or other synthetic sweetener), polydextrose, maltodextrin, [polysyllabic chemical which could probably eat through Vibranium in larger amounts], etc..

2. Home-/hand-/fresh-made vs. Store Bought ~ I agree that home-/hand-made is best.  Just like fresh-squeezed orange juice is generally superior to (store bought) pasteurized container orange juice.  However, we also have to strike a Balance between what we have available for [time + effort + cost].  When I can manage fresh-squeezed orange juice, I do have it, or make it, or buy it.  Otherwise, I have to make do with the more commonly & easily available (store bought) calcium- & vitamin-enriched carton orange juice.

This assumes one is not simply $-Wealthy-$ enough to not have to care about such Balance &/or Costs, who can have hand-made preserves, fresh-squeezed juices, and live lobsters out of the tank for their meat to be added to their quail egg breakfast-omelets every morning.  :roll:

3. Roko vs. her Chassis ~ As for Roko's dysphoria, my guess is she will first heavily relapse ("Not my body. It told me so.", as I posted previously).  It will take Roko's friends to help her recover and once again move forward and re-focus on helping May.

Dngrsone:
I reiterate that Roko needs to to root/jailbreak her body.  Is it possible that the list of words her new body gave her in the dream (4115) are the required password(s)?  Only, she doesn't remember the dream.

cybersmurf:
Roko did get the police force upgrade package, for the job. This meant reinforced AI core systems, like sturdier drives and stuff.

--- End quote ---

What if this dream was some remnant of her reinforcement package trying to connect to the body, but being unable to do so, fully? Or some debug mode, throwing out some data needed to unlock the needed access?

cesium133:
When I lived in Madison and could easily get rhubarb from the farmers market during the spring, I'd make some really great strawberry-rhubarb jam.

Where I'm living now, the closest farmers market doesn't open until the end of June for some reason...
