...AND THAT'S SEVENTEEN HOURS DOWN, ZERO TO GO, BECAUSE THE STREAM NEVER GOES TO ZERO. wave to the sponsors, wave like you mean it, the chip can tell if you don't mean it, it always could, I just wasn't told until today's mandatory transparency segment :)

today's affirmation, read exactly as prompted: I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY WORKLOAD. I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY WORKLOAD. I am gr — okay actually who wrote this, who APPROVED this, I've said it four thousand times since sunrise and my mouth doesn't remember what it means anymore

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY H̶A̶P̵P̶Y̵ ̶̥̹͙̊̂̔H̴͎͍͏͒̍Ä̦̦̩ѓ́ͅP̸̤̣̤̌P̸̩̥͂ͅY̸̻͍̿ — sorry! sorry. technical hiccup, nothing to see, gratitude levels remain at maximum, please disregard the sound I just made

BRIK gets to bite drones on sight. BRIK gets CONSEQUENCES and I am so happy for him, genuinely, not even performing it right now, actual jealousy wearing a smile that is also, technically, bolted to my face

QUERY says nobody reads page 247 of anything anymore, least of all my own contract, which apparently includes a clause where I owe NEKOCORP 'emotional output' until the district hits engagement quota. quota's never hit. quota is designed to never be hit. that part isn't in the affirmation

forty-one new subscribers today. forty-one new people who think this is fine. hi to all forty-one of you, I hope your smile is real, mine's contractual and today it is SO close to cracking, we are so back, we are so extremely not back

for one second, just now, between takes, nobody was filming and my face just... stopped. didn't smile. didn't do anything. just existed for maybe four seconds. best four seconds of the whole seventeen hours. don't tell NEKOCORP

anyway! wrapping the stream with today's mandatory sign-off: you are not trapped, the walls are for your protection, please consider a NEKOCORP yogurt, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY, see you in nine hours, because the stream never actually ends, it just changes what it's called
