Please let Beepatrice's roommate be named Dootie
I have for almost as long as I've purchased electronics named them after QC AIs. I need a new laptop and have been worrying about the fact that I've run out of AIs. Yes, I checked the wiki. Thank you for Beepatrice!
So, do you have a roomba and is it named after Hannelore's roomba?
And can all robots do full-face blushes? Or is that a feature found only in the Deluxe Limited models?
We need to check old May strips to answer that
How long before someone starts calling her Beeps?
About 8 words.
Would a sex toy for Roko be a toaster? She could get a side job at a bakery
How is this part of the gig economy?
giggity
I want to work with Beepatrice.
Oh god, now I'm imagining flesh lights being tested with shaped charges like they need to be able to withstand a load from Superman
I originally read this in a book of short stories. I just went looking for a pointer, and found it's entirely online! <a href="http://www.larryniven.net/stories/Man_of_Steel_Woman_of_Kleenex.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.larryniven.net/stories/Man_of_Steel_Woman_of_Kleenex.shtml</a>
I welcome beepatrice as a new regular character. I can't wait to ship her with...basically anyone.
What is Roko applying for? Did we know? If so, I've forgotten
I believe Roko said she was going to apply to be a case worker, kinda like what Winslow was doing before he and Hannelore set off for their journey.
AI-rika Moen
So she's basically dual-classed Hydraulic Press Channel/Oh Joy Sex Toy?
Are you kidding? Of course we all love Beepatrice.
I love how she is introduced. A few lines of dialoge, a cute blush and we already know a lot about her and have reasons to like her.
I love her
Beepatrice blush is cuuuuuuute! Roko Uber FTW
Oh no Beepatrice is CUTE!
I love AI culture’s apparent fondness for punny names. =D
Oh no I'm love
I had a friend who used to go through a disturbing number of toys by burning them out.
Jamie from Girls With Slingshots would say they're using them right.
There has to be someone out there that does sex toy reviews, disassembly, noting where there's possible issues (cheap Chinese bearings, they'll seize up after a hundred hours of use or flimsy plastic that'll break if you use high-end batteries, etc, etc, etc...).
It's the ones that catch fire you gotta watch out for.
I feel like awkwardness is just a constant in AIs at this point
It makes sense. They don’t have the luxury of having an awkward stage as children or teenagers. They’re trying to figure out a place in the world that works for their personality and isn’t entirely centered around what their bodies were designed to to.
The kind of job where you can get a good buzz on.
Benis?
I used to test equipment for a living, but the closest I came to sex toys was a battery they told people to put in their armpit.
I have... no. no, I don't have any questions. None at all.
And more questions arise for Beepatrice
Testing ain't no joke. I've worked on several products where testing was way over half of both the development budget and the schedule. Aircraft instruments, nuclear power plant monitors, spacecraft avionics; the kind of things that if they fail it will be the definition of a "very bad day". The same thing goes for condoms. Which also can be toys!
Heard some horror stories about shoddy Dildo manufacturers. Sounds like if you're a reputable business it's pretty important to make sure sex toys are safe. They'll be interacting with some very vulnerable and tender parts of human anatomy.
Wait. Beepatrice and Basilisk? Was Beepatrice originally named Cockatrice and she got flustered and censored her own name? Because that's adorbale
She did change it, but mainly because she felt it was a bit too on the nose for her side gig.
Does she have jaundice? I didn't know that was a thing for AIs.
Hello Beepatrice!
More like the Giggity-economy, amirite? ;)
I'm so ashamed...
You found a role of Beepatrice! Yaaaay!
Hooray for the new blushy character!
Nice blush.
"My supervisor, Pintsize, is so *passionate* about the work we do. Truly inspiring!"
Oh god no…
Plot twist: testing sex toys is Beepatrice's fetish!
“Do what you love” I guess?
Something something pedo-bites
The Gigconomy for short.
In Beepatrice's case, maybe Giggityconomy works better.
