Um.
I'm losing track of what this is even about, but I definitely disagree about THAT part.
I've seen men do very dumb things just because its a pretty woman, and I've been guilty of such behavior myself as well, sometimes even being well aware that I'd never do this if the woman in question wasnt so beautiful.
Besides, I known absolutely nobody who actually has no friends ... ? Do such people even exist ? AFAICS nasty people just have other nasty people as friends.

Not really, no.

Your links all refer to differences between genders, not the difference of beautiful vs ugly.

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 15 Dec 2020, 20:33 ---Her looks shouldn't. Nobody's should. But as long as simps and desperate horndogs are around....
--- End quote ---
Can we please not use the word "simp". It has enough negative implications (such as the idea that a man would only be kind to a woman to get sex and that the particular woman in question is not attractive enough to be worth being kind to) that it feels slimy to use it.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, that word started appearing around the same time as “cuck” and originated with the same group and fundamentally means the same thing: “I hate that women get to choose who to have a relationship with” - using either is not recommended anywhere.
Wingy:
Looks like Millie remembered her pants too.

--- Quote from: DSL on 15 Dec 2020, 10:09 ---Mille, don't give the old femur to Sam. See if UR will give you a materials credit for it. Kind of like some shops will give you credit for an old car or tractor battery when you buy a new one.
--- End quote ---
That's usually the case either because you can refurbish the old part (usually why things like alternators have a refundable core charge) or the materials themselves can be recycled and reused (why things like batteries have a core charge). There's not currently a supply chain for industrial-recycling carbon fiber, but then, there's not sapient robots walking around IRL, either, so who knows what's the case in QC-land.
Edit to add that you definitely wouldn't be reusing a "refurbished" carbon fiber strut; Once a crack exists in carbon fiber, it is very difficult to stop it from propogating, and faith in the integrity of the repaired piece would be very low.
--- End quote ---
Besides, it would be cruel to implant it in other AI, knowing it was refurbished. Think of May's old chassis and the way she felt about it.

It would be cruel to do so without them knowing its condition and provenance. However, if it was explained that this was repaired/refurbished second-hand part that is being offered at low cost because it is available now and that it should be understood that it will provide inferior performance? Well, then it becomes a buyer's decision. Not recommended but if you want something done now and on the cheap...?
As bizarre as it sounds, there is some comparison to transplant organs (which, after all, are invariably second-hand) and may have some hidden surprises that weren't picked up when the organ was donated. At least in the case of Millie's old femur, Faye and Bubbles can absolutely guarantee that they know everything wrong with it and can personally vouch for the quality of the repairs done on it!
