When I read "title text" in the description I did a double-take and checked to see if there was mouseover text before scrolling up to see what he really meant. I am too used to the nerds at the XKCD forum who use that stupid term.

Poor Mari-Bear, no wonder she's such a socially awkward shut-in.

Someone stole Jeph's skill. This strip seems a bit... unfinished. Especially the title line. And, you know, the magical glasses. Though I figure that the BAD ART! sticker in the window in the third panel can't be a coincidence.

 Also, nice to see Faye still getting pegged as the mean one when she didn't raise her voice or even make a cutting remark after chatting with Angus- unlike some people *whistles as if nothing happened*.

It wasn't a benchmark for bad experiences in general, it was a benchmark for bad experiences specifically of bullying.

I'm not saying your experience wasn't awful and quite painful, it just doesn't really apply.

...Wow, I am sounding like a whiny jerk. I need to stop taking this so seriously and dredging up annoying crap from my past. Is it too late to delete this and the other post?

EDIT: Nevermind, decided to delete that stuff and the stuff from the other post. Sorry.  :-(

Faye has a reputation to live down (http://questionablecontent.net/1085)
Yeah, but that was 600 strips ago. She's gotten much better, and she still didn't nail Marigold with anything significant in the time frame Angus is asking about. It'd make more sense to me if she said ,"actually, Faye wasn't so bad. Dora going off on me about her website was kind of weird, though. But then she was all hugs and apologies  :?."
Title: Re: WCT March 15-19
Post by: raoullefere on 15 Mar 2010, 00:05
Angus didn't ask about Dora. What you're talking about was all summed up by "I guess so." Allow me to translate:
"I had as good a time as I could watching you chat up Faye while I have this ridiculous crush on you and won't say anything to you about it."

Don't worry; Angus didn't translate it correctly, either.

The Option: Yelling bird will buy it because of the whores. Sooner or later. You'll see. Whores'r trouble.

Are you saying that they will do whoribble things to him? Like telling whorrible puns? Truly, even imagining such a fate is simply whorrid.  :-D

And maybe she'll mention it tomorrow, and Jeph just wanted to get his punchline and character background into this strip. But she easily could have segued "Faye wasn't mean to you, was she?" into "Not really, it was Dora who acted all funny. Hey Angus, I wonder if she's pregnant?"

Hanners does the deed, with the crowbar, in the study. Twice. To the head.
Okay, see, doing the deed means something entirely different to me. And I automatically associate crowbars with a certain Free man. So in my head that comes out as Hannelore having sex with Gordon, twice. To the head- I dunno, maybe oral?

Hurling on Hannelore is hideously hazardous—not only will you die via random flailing, but you'll be found dead in your own spew, and everyone will think you died of alcohol poisoning (no one ever seriously believed the ME unless he looks like William Peterson). On the plus side, they'll think you croaked like a celebrity. On the downside, they'll think you croaked like a stupid, drunk celebrity.

For those of you who didn't catch it in time, the dialogue in panels 2 and 3 were:

Dora: "Altruism? From YOU? I don't believe it."
Faye: "I'm bored. And I wanna make fun of Angus if he has a crappy place."

Dora: "Uh huh. Their place is up on Pulaski, past all the antique stores." (this speech bubble was deleted by Jeph)
Faye: "Gotcha." (this one Jeph replaced with "See ya.")
Dora: "But you better be quick about it. I'm not paying you for the time you're gone."

Hmm. I think Jeph needs to go on an archive binge, because he seems to be forgetting some things. Specifically, this storyline:
650 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=650) 651 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=651) 653 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=653) 654 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=654) 655 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=655) 656 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=656)

Too bad he missed this before the Great Speedy Edit he already did. Faye's attitude is one of the cafe's biggest selling points. She is good PR. If anything might Dora tell Faye to not go at the risk of hurting her snarky image.This is starting to feel like "lets dump on Faye" week.

Faye sucks.  As Sven well knows.

Depending on your context, it's just a poor joke.  Dora doesn't mean Faye's bad for business; if she really meant it then she'd probably just fire her rather than sit around trading insults.

That would require more social awareness than Marigold actually possesses.  She's more likely to take Dora's comments as a fair critique and be hurt by them instead of realizing they were an irrational reaction - an irrational reaction to an irrational expectation that she's good enough at a hobby to impress Marigold, who writes code for a living and probably majored in computer science.

Dora's always been one of my least-favorite characters, but... why is she STILL hell-bitch boss?  Irrational rudeness to a customer, then yelling at Faye for it, telling Faye to hurry up when, obviously, the store's not all that busy...

Either we're getting a pregnancy arc or we're getting a CoD is going under arc.
Title: Re: WCT March 15-19
Post by: Tuitsuro on 16 Mar 2010, 13:05
Being a bitch, asshole, bastard, or any other general slur for 'boss' usually comes with the territory.  You're not there to make friends, you're there to make money.  Now, you can be *nice* to your employees, and still do business, but generally you can't simply be friends with them and expect situations like these not to come up.  Dora's right in what she's saying, if not the way she's saying it.  Faye's leaving during her shift.  She doesn't get paid for the time she's gone.  That's not being a hell-bitch boss, that's good management.  

Granted, yelling at customers generally isn't, as you noted.  But that goes more into how Dora tends to treat people like friends in her store, rather than employees and customers.  Sigh... it's tough running your own business...
Title: Re: WCT March 15-19
Post by: Penquin47 on 16 Mar 2010, 14:07
But if Dora's okay with her leaving, instead of saying "Wait till you get off" or "Can't you just call Marten or Hanners or someone, if you don't have Angus's cell number?", then she kinda forfeits the right to be a bitch about Faye leaving during the shift.  But with the body language saying "I'm pissed off" giving the tone of "I'm a martyr who just can't be bothered to deal with your shit but I expect you to NOTICE how I suffer to make your life easier"... this is bitch boss, not boss laying the facts out there: if you ain't working, you're off the clock.
Title: Re: WCT March 15-19
Post by: Tuitsuro on 16 Mar 2010, 16:39
I wouldn't say she forfeits it, but you're right, she should say that Faye needs to wait until her shift is over.  Alternatively, she could do it on her break, although I don't think she'd be able to go there and back within 15 or 30 minutes.  Look, Dora's always been lax on the rules.  It's not good managerial behavior, I admit.  But she's still within her rights to not pay Faye for something she could do on her own time.

She's not that clueless, and even if she was it was still the main event that happened, so for her to not mention it at allis odd.

Too bad he missed this before the Great Speedy Edit he already did. Faye's attitude is one of the cafe's biggest selling points.
He didn't miss it. He also remembers this: http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1215
So that's another oddity. He needs to get it straight; is Faye's sass a benefit or a detriment to the cafe? He set a whole story arc around it being a benefit, but these two act as though it's a detriment- and during the time when she's been doing much less of it anyway. Which is right?

He didn't miss it. He also remembers this: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1215

Replace that f with a g and you've got it.


There seems to be a general issue with linear thinking now. First Marigold and now Dora, staying on one track when changing gears would make more sense (Sweet, car and train metaphors.) Penguin, Tuitsuro, I think that.s the issue that you two (and I) are having problems with.


So you want to goof off on company time:
  • Hint#1: when you want to goof off on company time, don't tell the boss, 'I'm bored.' This will set her off, no matter how lax she is, guaranteed.
  • Hint#2: If you have a good lie excuse, use it first. For some reason, they never work quite as well in the followup slot, especially following "I want to go dink around with my almost boyfriend."
  • Hint#3 Never tell your boss: "I want to go dink around with my almost boyfriend."
You forgot #4, though that's understandable since it didn't apply this time: Don't tell the boss you want to go dink around with their boyfriend.

Don't go, Faye! It's a trap!

I mean, I could just about imagine her face down in my wok, but a saucepan?

OK, I'll admit I've never made tacos, but presumably the brown gunk is from the filling? Just how big is the saucepan if it's wide enough for Momo-tan to fall in? I mean, I could just about imagine her face down in my wok, but a saucepan? Or is Angus one of those people who cooks up a whole mess of stew, taco filling etc. in one go, lets it cool, and then bags meal-sized portions for freezing, and reheating later?  :-P

I'm gonna guess yes to the whole make-a-bunch-and-freeze-some-for-later thing.  Either that, or he's REALLY hungry.  Also, I'm picturing a large frying pan rather than a saucepan -- maybe "saucepan" is being used as a general term here, since using an actual saucepan would make about as much sense as using a stockpot to make stirfry (a thing I have, to my dismay, actually witnessed).

As a sidenote, those stains will never come out of that shirt.  Ay carumba.

Next up: the awkwardness level increases as Faye and Marigold watcha a shirtless Angus scrub Momo, whose tentacle "feature" is accidentally activated . . .

You know, I'd take vegetarianism more seriously if so many of the practitioners I meet (meat?) weren't so stuck up about it. Refusing to learn about a meal on the assumption that it always includes meat- even if it did, which is definitely not the case with tacos- is just willful ignorance.

Also, how sheltered are you that you've never seen (or heard of?) tacos before? They aren't exactly rocky mountain oysters.

My grandmother makes awesome tacos, but even when cooking for 10 people there's no way she'd have enough filling in a wide enough pan for this to happen; At that point it'd be in a pot. And even if she did for some reason, it wouldn't cover them in uniform brownness- there'd be yellowish grease stains more than anything.

Meat cooks more uniformly, and quickly, in a wide, shallow pan, which makes a frying pan more suited for this.  Also, taco meat generally includes spices (ancho, cayenne, etc.) and/or hot sauce plus sometimes tomato, so it can have a reddish-brown hue.  However, I accept the limits of a webcomic's color palette and simply suspend my disbelief.   :wink:

A big pan works for 5 or 6 people, but you need a small pot when you get to larger groups- it just needs more stirring to compensate (just realized how euphemistic that sounds). But there's a big issue I just realized- unless Angus had literally just started cooking, the stuff on his face is going to hurt something fierce. Perhaps Jeph could have had Momo get knocked into (as in, the side of and knocking it over) the blender that Angus was making a chocolate smoothie in to fit the color and laack of pain better.

Also why the hell do people allow their AnthroPC's around food?  Seriously, she's been around Pintsize for god's sake.  E-coli'd be the least of their problems.  

Also also, it's fricken SAINT PATTYS DAY.  Why are they having tacos when they could have some delicious Irish fare, like mutton on a stick?  Or like, a potato.  Or a box of cereal with a leprechaun on it.  ( Hey look I avoided references to alcohol althogether!  Oh, wait, shit. )

I thought about the pain factor, but more about Momo melting off those new little fingers in the bubbling brown goo.  She's made from some kind of plasticky-vinylish type material, no? 

Faye had the advantage over us with the taco aroma cluing her in to what happened...

And you'll get that kind of mess from the pan flipping up or over after Momo's fall, projecting its contents on the hapless Angus.  Forget the shirt, how is all that coming off Momo?  Or out of her hair?  Or out of her one little outfit! 

This can actully be the start of an interesting arc...

You're vegetarian and you don't eat tacos? o.o

I'm vegan and tacos (or burritos) are like my STAPLE food. Sooo, sooo good.


take:

1 pack of flour tortillas
1 can of black beans
1 small can of tomato sauce
some chili powder, and whatever other spices you want (oregano and basil for me)
1 diced tomato
1 diced onion
1 sliced avocado
1 bottle of hot sauce.

Cook the black beans with the tomato sauce and spices in a frying pan until most of the liquid has evaporated and it's a mix of nice rich consistency (sometimes I add rice)

Then basically, on the flour tortilla, combine one heaping tablespoon of the bean mix, one tablespoon of (raw) tomato, onion, avocado, and ad a dash of hot sauce. Some lettuce can be thrown in as well. Roll it up and enjoy!  It takes all of 10 mins to prepare and is YUM. For tacos, you can also just use refried beans and save yourself the trouble of making a bean mixture.

If you're not vegan you can also add cheese.

Taco 'juice,' in fact any sort of liquid, always goes fifteen times as far as it should be able to based on 'observed' volume* when it hits the floor, cabinet, countertop, or clothing. The real problem is Jeph hasn't shown the gradiant of stains.

Pintsize has been a bad influence on Faye.
No kidding. But I bet Faye was also the type of girl who stripped her barbie dolls, both sexes, 'naked'** first chance she got.
(Looking at the above statement, I have no clear idea what it means, but it's never stopped me before, so why should it now?)

As for the alt script strip (say that seven times fast), I have only one thing to say (summons up best 'Chairman' Takeshi Kaga inpersonation): Giant Eel!

They aren't exactly rocky mountain oysters.
Trust me, when if it comes to food, nothing, and I do mean nothing, is exactly like a rocky mountain oyster. It ain't often you (not me, thank you) can eat something and then see the 'donor' walking by in the pasture. Waste not want not can be carried too far.

My accusation of cultural myopia had nothing to do with your remarks about vegetarians, so the section I snipped was not inconvenient, but simply irrelevant. I was objecting to your apparent assumption that someone would have to be "sheltered" to not know what a taco was. There are probably millions of people who've never heard of them. For example, there are a few Mexican-style restaurants in Beijing (there's even a Hooters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B78PW-_ic_s) in Beijing... :( ), Shenzhen (I think), Shanghai, and of course Hong Kong, but beyond that, not so much. MacDonalds on the other hand...

Faye obviously heard from Marten about Momo's more exotic features (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1298), and it made her curious. But it's still a bit creepy.  :lol:

It's a machine.  The gender can be altered by flipping a switch.  Harassment is not something that you can do here, 'cause the definition is "an act or comment that the person knew or reasonably ought to have known would be offensiveto the other person."  Sexual harassment is harassment with a sexual element. 

Machines, not being persons cannot be harassed.

Yeah, but there is a difference between opening a maching/looking under the case to fix the AnthroPC and simply looking because one is "curious".

Faye had no reason to look other than she wanted to satisfy her own curiosity. Given that the AnthroPC's have every indication of being sentient beings, Faye most definitely should have, at the very least, asked about it rather than just looking.


Also - MoMo certainly looks like she's been harassed. Or, at the very least, shocked that Faye didn't have enough respect for her to not go about looking at whatever parts she was curious about.

Nah, she doesn't actually wear clothes, that's just the way she's designed.  The only time you'll see her wearing anything different is as a disguise when she doesn't want people to know she's a robot.  But her 'suit' is all integrated. 

I doubt AnthroPCs really have much in the way of human rights, even if they are AI they still depend on their programming to function and that programming comes directly from their human user; so it can't necessarily be said that their actions are directly of their own volition.  Moreover, they probably need that human user to act in their stead if someone does something to them that they don't like.  If anything, they're like pets, and are probably afforded rights similar to animal rights.  So you can't beat them or torture them, but they probably wouldn't have a legal standing for simple harrassment.

I doubt AnthroPCs really have much in the way of human rights, even if they are AI they still depend on their programming to function and that programming comes directly from their human user; so it can't necessarily be said that their actions are directly of their own volition.  Moreover, they probably need that human user to act in their stead if someone does something to them that they don't like.  If anything, they're like pets, and are probably afforded rights similar to animal rights.  So you can't beat them or torture them, but they probably wouldn't have a legal standing for simple harrassment. 

She's been seen wearing both the blue top/skirt and a pink kimono/dressing gown. Either she's had a chassis change, or the outfits are interchangable.

Sometimes it really is just a cigar, guys...
But the cigar is all too often a flame-ended penis substitute. However…

Yeah, but there is a difference between opening a maching/looking under the case to fix the AnthroPC and simply looking because one is "curious".
People open machines all the time to see what's going on inside them because they're curious—several TV series have been created that cater to this. And that's what anthropcs are, so far as we know: machines. Until we actually have anthropcs with similar abilities, I think it's a bit presumptive to try to come up with a 'Bill of Rights' for them—we simply have no idea how close they are to sentience, and how much the products of clever programming. Actually, come to think of it, since Marten has a fetish-exploiting mother, it's not surprising that Pintsize, who often seems to be manifestation of Marten's id (doing things Marten would like to but feels he can't: dressing up in costume, squeezing breasts, acting completely uninhibited, etc.) would 'develop' an 'interest' in fetish (I note it's directed so as not to strike to close to home, too: Pintsize doesn't go for fruit-crushing in heels, does he? Nor is Veronica likely to show up in the stuff he cruises). It suggests to me that each AnthroPC is programmed to do something of that sort. Momo, for example, is a 'cool' samurai, socially apt, and gets laid, all things Marigold would probably like to do. The Linux anthropc (PX whosname) probably belongs to a guy who has to kiss buttock in a Windows-dominated office every day.

So let's not hop on our chargers just yet. Of course, if we ever do get anthropcs and they are sentient, I'll be glad to be the first to welcome our new diminutive mechanical overlords. And with net access, that's what they will be, too, unless blocked some way (and blocks, like all software and hardware, always fail at some point). (Don't buy it? Read Frederic Pohl's Man Plus). Another case against anthropc sentience, now that I think about it. I sometimes think those people obsessed with AI creation are as self-destructively balmy as the nuts who want to make alien civilizations with superior tech aware of a new source of slaves or real estate (aka Earth).

As to the creepy factor, my god, like animé and manga, which Momo is supposed to embody, aren't replete with creepy? Faye's just being sucked in to the morass. Or moray eel ass, as the case may be.

Faye's behavior makes Momo uncomfortable. Faye being curious or not, if the machine can express that discomfort, Faye shouldn't be doing it. EDIT: Another way to phrase it: If the machine acts on the behavior that is programmed into it, that means the programmer would be uncomfortable with that sort of behavior, which still means Faye shouldn't be doing it.

Faye. Whiskey. Marigold. Can good possibly come of this?

Fascinating set of observations, but Winslow doesn't seem to fit the pattern of AnthroPCs doing things the owners can't. Winslow is pretty tidy and law-abiding himself, even with the temptations of a humanoid body.
Winslow's from Apple- he 'thinks different'  :-D. More seriously, it's possible Hanners' Dad did something to Winslow to make him more compatible with and/or less threatening to his daughter (it's one thing to act out the owner's id fantasies, and quite another to commit acts that conflict with a mental disorder, especially one like OCD). That may explain why Winslow seems much more child-like than any of the others. He brings to mind Dora, the ship's computer (of the star yacht Dora) in Heinlein's Time Enough for Love. 'She' has been 'kept' a child by her owner (for reasons too complicated to explain here), while other machines are able to develop adult personalities.

Then again, Winslow on a few occaisions seems to be Hannelore's 'superego.' Again, possibly a programing alteration, custom job, etc. done by or made for Hanners' father to assist her in integrating. Then again, such assistance may be a personality option, hence Momo's efforts with Marigold.

Apparently they are sentient (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1506).
That may be a convenient label for something that appears sentient but needs input from an owner to accomplish the mimic. I hope so—no matter how cute they are, keeping a fully sentient being as a 'pet' by whatever means (altering it's 'brain' seems most likely) makes me far queasier than Faye peeking up Momo's skirt. And, as I said, sooner or later, "rogue" anthropcs could either take over or severely damage the communications and data infrastructure, either by faulty programs or some ass taking the blocks off just to see what happened.

Having personally thoroughly beaten this to death, I now suggest we forget about it and watch the little buggers go. Or move it to another thread.

As to yesterday's peak under the AnthroPC skirt, I remember when I was little, even well before the age of knowing what the different accoutrement boys and girls had in their knickers was for, whenever I went over to my girl-cousins' houses, if there was a doll there that I hadn't seen before, I hadda peek. It just didn't work for me to not know. Boy doll? Girl doll? Anatomicly incorrect doll? It didn't mean anything once I knew how the doll was manufactured, but I had to do the knowing.

As to today's strip, If you'd like to see Fangus and Mar-Bear get shit-faced drunk and refried bean sloppy, text QUESTCONT1.
If you'd like to see Mar-Bear recall her previous experiment in alcohol consumption and back out at the last moment to go play WoW, leaving Faye and Angus awkwardly alone with alcohol, text QUESTCONT2.

That's certainly expecting an awful lot from Dora to just allow that. That's the kind of phone call that leads to, "Sure, take all the time in the world off. Don't plan on working here ever again."

Of course if people really do come in for Faye's sass, once they find out Faye's gone they might stop coming in, and then where would Dora be? This whole thing really sucks for Dora as a business owner, actually.

The best outcome would be to fix up tacos for all and take it to CoD.  After being a hit, Dora decides to install the kitchen and hire Angus as taco-chef. 

Although tacos and coffee just don't sond like that pleasant a combination, either.  Dora'd have to install new, bigger restrooms...

I really don't want to see Marigold sloshed.  She'll embarass the hell out of herself right before passing out. 

I really don't want to see Faye sloshed.  She's come quite a way from drinking away the pain.

Since then, Dora has 'stolen' her love interest, takes up a large portion of her best friend's time, and moved into her house. I get annoyed working with the same people for 12 hours straight on university projects, never being able to get a moment away from someone must be pretty hard, especially when they have seniority over you for a majority of that time.

That said, she is treading a dangerous line with skipping out from work. Maybe it would be good for her to loose the job though. She could become a full time artist, with the sculpture for Dora being the kick start for that...

And, come to think of it, Lúthien Tinúviel was half 'angel' (her mother was a Maia, and I'm not sure when Lúthien was born, but the Two Trees were in flower, which puts her back a bit from Beren). Anyway, it's a family tradition. You know how those are.

Ah, so Faye actually did the smart and decent thing and didn't let Dora in the dark. Good.

Now we can worry about business being so slow that a barista can just take the rest of her shift off. We've already seen Dora worrying about CoD's viability.
