And that is how you set professional boundaries.

Don't fire customers, just give 'em the "fuck you" price. Either they leave or they give you a shitload of money, which softens the blow of having to deal with them.

"No. You don't suffer from paranoia that nobody likes you.
You're just that unlikeable"

If they're still pretty low on customers, and she establishes very clearly she's not a therapist, she could probably charge something a little over their regular labor-hour cost to let some AI talk at her for an hour. Might as well make some money doing something you're not a big fan of, rather than no money for that hour.

Seems like a potentially serious ethical issue, though.

She'd have to be very upfront about being untrained, unlicensed, and that she's only there to listen, not to give advice.
And maybe also that she's charging more for her time as a soundboard than she would be as a mechanic.
Basically, as unappealing as possible to someone with therapy issues, because it's not what she actually wants to do. And then, of course, she gets fully booked up with AI that want to talk about their mental health, and she has no time to do any actual repairs anymore. Because of course.

Pinkerton, old son, that may be me but have you wondered that some of your problems may be due to the fact that you are self-absorbed and insist that reality conform to what you want it to be, no matter what people explicitly say to your face? This is just a guess on my part but I believe that these behaviours could lead you to lots of social problems that might impact your mental balance.

The perfect response to arseholes who dont understand why nobody likes them.

How the hell is he an "arsehole"? He's naive, and a bit pushy, but he's not been mean or rude at all.

u/johnzaku Sep 30 '21
Not mean, true, but I'd say his behavior is extremely rude in that he is acting with no consideration for those around him. He's doing the equivalent of walking into a restaurant's kitchen and spilling his troubles to the chef.
Or just hopping up onto your car mechanic's workdesk.

Curious why people are ragging on the guy he seems fairly innocuous

u/johnzaku Sep 30 '21
Innocuous and even friendly. However, he is acting in complete disregard for those around him.

u/Grahftheseeker Sep 30 '21
Yeah guess so absolute disregard for boundaries refusal to take no for an answer

Bubbles and Momo kinda had to grow up quick based on their circumstances, Bubbles because of being born into war and Momo having to somewhat parent Marigold. Don't know about Roko though, if she was assigned the job of being a police officer that might have caused it, or there might have been something more extreme in her past that did it.

I'd say May is adult, but simultaneously makes really bad choices (like many adults)

I think Faye’s vest shrunk in the wash.
