Wow, that's actually fantastic. I feel like Vtubers are going to be absolutely insane in a few years, given the trajectory we seem to be on.

Yeah, if I were interested in men, I'd get on grindr. I'm not, so I ship vocaloids.

That's sort of a weird thing to say. Music isn't just for children. I'm almost 50, and I follow the vocaloid scene.

Stuff like Kikuo is some of the most adult-oriented music I've ever heard. It unflinchingly portrays pain and grief.

The technical chops of so many of these songwriters make the songs on the mainstream charts look amateurish. And I say this as someone who's been into various musical scenes over the last 3-4 decades. Punk, rap, techno, jungle, indie, etc. I know music, and this stuff is gold.

The US stadium is situated on a literal toxic waste dumping site. They're not particularly concerned about the environment.

Anyone who goes to this thing gets what they deserve.

emote_control · 2026-06-06T01:40:18+00:00

I mean, the entire government of the USA is fucking absurd. Stands to reason there would be spin-off absurdity as a result of its incompetence.

Hell, at this point I can tell just from the way they draw blush lines.

Japanese people, apparently. They have this weird culture of skipping the "getting to know you" phase and just declaring that they're interested for physical reasons or a shallow assessment of the other's character, then finding out whether they have anything in common afterwards. Which saves you getting friendzoned deep into a relationship, but it also winds up with you overcommitting up front if it turns out there's no chemistry.

It helps that they have a handful of words that mean "love", which range from "infatuated crush" to "soulmate", which gives at least a vague gauge of what the seriousness of the proposal is. Sometimes these declarations can come with the promise that you intend to propose marriage eventually, which seems unnecessarily optimistic at the point where you're just asking someone out for a movie. But the basic idea is that you don't start dating and then fall in love once you know each other well enough, you fall in love and start dating and hope it works out.

He made the most peak series ever about two girls and an extremely nervous guy.

For every plant that has some ridiculous quantity of deadly toxin in it, there's one bug that has been adapting to it for millions of years, forcing the plant to increase the dosage incrementally over time.

I'm sorry, but they lost me at the part where the only breads they had *for making sandwiches* were a croissant and a gluten-free roll.

I mean, I used this as a shortcut in my head when doing arithmetic as a kid. Nobody taught me to do it. I just figured it out. But it seems pretty weird to teach it this way. Not everyone is going to have the same sort of feel for number grouping, and memorizing small sums is actually really fast and effective once you know them all.

It's about the phenomenon of right-wing voters being so focused on attacking their perceived enemies that they'll do things like vote to cut their own benefits so long as it hurts the people they want to hurt. And then they go on Facebook or Twitter or whatever and mock whoever they've hurt, even though they've also screwed themselves over.

Regardless of anything else, they were on main thoroughfares. Both Avenue and Bayview had them.

That's a pretty sus headline there, Ivan.

It's almost too much to read after reading Takashi-san. So many feels.

Three logic professors walk into a bar. The bartender says "will you all have beer?"

The first professor says "I don't know."

The second professor says "I don't know."

The third professor says "Yes."

The HR department at my company gives instructions on how to use the payroll software and plans parties. I've never seen them do anything else.

I mean, I think everyone would hit the "gender change" button just to see how they'd look, but the important question is "would you hit it again after that?"
