"Cowboy boners"

Bill Silvia

Bubbles didn't want it permanently deleted. I imagine it's easier to do regular computer stuff like deleting a file compared to more complex actions.

Bill Silvia

I was thinking an assistant for Veronica

Bill Silvia

I think she realized the Firemen were probably sweaty and needed a break.

SilverbackRon

I loved their interaction 💖

Am Queue

I.... fuck, that *was* thirty years ago.

Sean Kinlin

@Maxwell: I got that reference

Miyaa

There’s nothing more miserable than a job working with your own family.

Leak

The firemen are currently working overtime in LA... D:

PsychOut

Iris already has a full-time job worshiping Willow :)

Matt Pedone

I was miserable with a job, too, but at least I knew I'd be able to pay my bills.

Maxwell Black

I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now

Captain Button

Well, once Smaug did a leveraged buyout....

BobC

At the optometrist, perhaps?

Ísabel Pirsic

I seem to recall Hanners had moved from Firemen to Cowboys at some point ?

Matt Pedone

The urge to respond to friends complaining about their jobs with, "At least you have a job" can be overwhelming at times, but I usually just keep it to myself, be supportive, and wallow in the misery of my failure on my own time.

BookBeard

That seems like a really harsh policy for a clothing company. I had no idea Old Navy was so draconian.

BookBeard

Actually as I recall it wasn't even one of the options they were offered, but after getting his memory wiped there was an accident or something and they lost track of him. He was programmed for community service so he ended up joining the order of monks. The episode was called "Passing Through Gethsemane".

allanfranta

Sounds like the old Navy saying: "Liberty will be restricted until morale improves."

allanfranta

One usually hears that in a delivery room, same context?

BookBeard

I'm guessing that's as far as she could get Ayo to dial it back from "Super Ultra Mega Triple-Infinity Best Friend" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5131

Amelia Lewis

If Iris ever moves out on her own (or Willow flakes on her), she could start collecting those old demotivational posters from like thirty years ago (remember those?), "ironically".

Opus the Poet

That was an episode of Babylon 5. Only they weren't forced to be a monk, it was one of the few things that people with erased personalities could do.

Opus the Poet

I think Iris doesn't know humans can't edit our subconscious, that's why they're SUB consciousness.

Stephen Wells

Motivational speaker Iris: "Go and achieve your dreams. I will be right behind you. I have a knife. I have many knives. Go fast enough, far enough, maybe I won't catch up with you."

David Paul

That's how Iris covers her share of the rent.

Bagge

Liz has a PhD in being annoying

Miyaa

Reminds me of the consistent lore in the Dragon Age game series where if you could not pass the mage test you could essentially lose your personality but keep your spells.

enchantedsleeper

She DOES get results!

enchantedsleeper

It was done to Bubbles accidentally by Corpse Witch, so it is possible for one AI to do it to another (without needing to be at Yay's level), but I expect it would be very hard to do on yourself. (After all, Bubbles had to resort to asking Corpse Witch to partition her memories - she didn't want to delete them, but that suggests she couldn't do anything with them on her own). Also, it's probably reaaally inadvisable to fuck around inside another AI's memory like that.

Stephen Wells

Oh yeah, the taco place closed because of the blood.

enchantedsleeper

Iris could probably make bank on OnlyFans (or the QC equivalent, but we've established the QC universe does have Patreon), and she wouldn't even have to show skin. She could just record herself criticising people. Can you believe Iris' friends and housemates get access to that for free, ALL the time??

enchantedsleeper

I think Pintsize would still take 1st prize, but Liz would be second x3

Mark

There might be something wrong with me, but as an ex-child prodigy (I didn't start as high as Liz but I didn't fall so far either) I found this SMBC strip strangely comforting. https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/point

Mark

Nice.

Mark

Probably not Sven. She's demonstrably immune to his charms/”come hither” look. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1078

Bagge

Hannelore allows 'bestie' :-)

Fart Captor

I would ABSOLUTELY pay to have Iris scold and insult me We need to ditch the fake AI chat bots and get the real thing so Iris can be real and hate me 🥺

BookBeard

Also Tony Shalhoub, Harrison Ford and of course Mr. Clean. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=634 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=723 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1141

Jax

Some of the firemen might look suspiciously like Sven.

Jax

It's at least 50% firemen.

Thomas Halpin

"In 1953 the pressure the become the first to climb to the summit of Mount Everest was huge. Somebody already did that. Two guys. That means you can't be the first up there and neither can I. Your expectations and reality need to see eye to eye, or close enough for a good shouting match. Failure to make that adjustment doesn't make you motivated or goal oriented, it just makes you a jerk who wastes a lot of time and energy." *It was at this point the speaker remembered that there was no lighter in any pocket because smoking was not allowed in the hotel convention center. Time to huff summer tea and think about that paycheck.*

Zak Reichle

I greatly appreciate seeing a Van down by the river joke 🤣

Yelling Bird

I can't imagine how clean Hennelore's subconscious is.

BobC

Iris is fully dilated...

William Cole

She remains the big, cranky blueberry of my dreams. (Sorry, Iris, but my subconscious is protected by fair use.)

BookBeard

I think we all know who took 1st prize. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5267 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5309

Captain Button

Ilana: Possibly "Babylon 5" where it was called "Death Of Personality." In print SF, the idea comes up in "The Second Trip" by Robert Silverberg and "Downbelow Station" by CJ Cherryh. And doubtless other places, I am sure.

Andrew Denton

I mean, it really takes a lot of the pressure off.

BookBeard

Not easily. If AI could simply delete stuff from their own heads, Bubbles would never have gone to Corpse Witch for "help". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3376

Ilana

There was some movie or tv show where the punishment for like murder is that you get your memory erased and forced to live like as a monk doing community service. Can't remember what it was

Grace Kieser

Nomadic vanlife would be an amazing fit for her! But then she's not be able to see Willow or Ayo easily, and that would be sad

Dr. Otter

I doubt it— if they could, why would Bubbles have gone to Corpsewitch?

voyager-ngc5195

Iris speaking from her own experiences, I'm sure.

Grace Kieser

I think since they don't understand how AI consciousness really works, just that it does, that's probably not possible. Multiple characters have said that AI and organic brains think essentially the same way

BookBeard

You jest, but her unorthodox motivational technique did wonders for Liz. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5315 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5316

Grace Kieser

Her motivation style suits people with a degredation kink

Euan Troup

Her qualifications: 3rd prize in being annoying

Sean Kinlin

Ayo came to kick ass and pull shots.

Zak Reichle

I would absolutely read "I can't do it and neither can you." 🤔

Sean Kinlin

More like a demotivational speaker.

SpookyPenguin

Hey you! Smarten up that scruffy subconscious!

ValdVin

"I'm Iris and this is Overcoming Toxic Positivity."

Nicholas Lopez

Iris is so cute ngl

Creeperkry

Shlubconscious!

SilverbackRon

I think Iris is directing that comment to Ayo.

MoonieKitten

Butts Disease is never gone, it's only ever sleeping, waiting for that perfect moment to reemerge.

Ben R

Everybody's subconscious is disgusting.

runrin

she can bang pans together inches from my head to wake me up anytime

runrin

i want to be bullied into being motivated by iris

LH

yes, the butts require much "research"

Captain Button

But there is hope, thorough research...

Captain Button

Maybe Tilly* could recommend a personal assistant intern for Iris? * Or Taffy

Michael Steamweed

"My speechmaking will continue until morale improves."

Michael Steamweed

There are some potent potential hijinks in that! Add in Steve, and you've got some shenanigans a-comin'!

Miyaa

I’m surprised they didn’t do for May as part of her past sentence.

Miyaa

Iris’s perfect job would be… being an assistant for Liz! And a spy for Hannelore van Swartzpunkt!

Captain Button

Do AnthroPCs have the ability to delete things from their subconscious? (Yay could do it, but won't.)

Captain Button

Iris's motivational speaker platform: "If morale doesn't improve I'll be coming back to give you another speech. Do you want that? I didn't think so."
