I think the whole Virtual Youtuber craze has gone a bit too far: Introducing Virtual Abused Housewife Reiko.

I don't know what's more wtf, that this is a thing, or that she already has 25,000 subscribers after a single ~3 minute video.

Virtual Youtuber craze?

What?


What?

I have a big red cut across my wrist from dropping a box of cat food at work. I tried to catch it with my wrists.

I once sliced my palm wide open with an ear of corn. I'll wait while you figure out how. O.o

The sharp part at the non-pointy end?

Pretty much. Turns out corn stalks are very stiff and often break in long triangular cross-sectioned pieces that are functionally weird weak knives.

Not really related, but this just reminds me of one time I was playing as a botanist in SS13, and I'd sharpened a bunch of carrots into shivs before putting them on the public counter right outside hydroponics.

Of course, this is usually where botanists put food to feed the crew since the chef either doesn't exist or isn't doing his job... So people would come by, see "carrots", and attempt to feed themselves by... Repeatedly stabbing their faces with the shivs.

I'm surprised I didn't get in more trouble for that... I honestly didn't even consider that people would think they were food.

That sort of road madness isn't such a thing in Ireland. You're supposed to thank other drivers for letting you past by doing a mini wave with whichever fingers can be stuck up from the steering wheel. You're also supposed to wave politely to people who let you cros the street. This happens enough for there to be waving rules, which goes to say a lot. There's a sort of... Communication between drivers that you get mentally used to.
I don't actually drive though, I take the train into town.

RELEVANT QUESTION: Are electric scooters legal to drive in cycling lanes??

Fuck no!

And no skateboards, skates, scoot-by-footers, or segways in the pedestrian lane! Find a cycle lane or get on the road with the other vehicle, you lazy fuck! *Involuntary old man mode engaged*

With electric scooter I meant one of these, not an actual motorbike


I was inquiring of Imic because I need to know the Ireland status quo

[scriver]

That's an electric scoot-by-footer, goes on bicycle lanes or with the other vehicles in the street. Next!

I know there's been a lot of confusion with the whole Brexit ordeal, but I'm reasonably certain that Sweden still isn't part of Ireland.

I recently became a objectivist, I am reasonably certain that means all my opinions are now universal fact.

Speaking of which. The liberal party is literally running on making all immigrants debt-slaves this year (election in like a few weeks). One step closer to cyberpunk!

I'm sigging this

Need a square bracket at the start there

A Facebook friend who I met in a meme group is asking me if I want to get into the dog chews business.

Exactly what is the business? The first thought is dog food, but that's a glutted market unless you're doing something unique. Then the thought hit me: market yourself as a personal pet chef that visits homes to cook fresh gourmet pet food for people's dogs, and appeal to the overwealthy yuppie crowd that want to spoil their precious bowwows with frivolous luxuries.

Definitely the number of subscribers. The existence isn't particularly surprising, that so little content got that much response is more odd.

Surely that's not actually the idea behind- that's literally the concept, alright.

Auto-translate on youtube has a lot of flaws, it never translates anything right, but in this case it makes her sound realistically brain damaged, which would be in-character for the amount of abuse she's apparently been through.
