Canada Dry Ginger Ale Sugar Free.

I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.

Holy shit his sex offender record is the first thing that comes up when you search his name.

Have you tried checking for leaks? You might be having IP or DNS leaks that’s contributing to it.

What about somewhere closer like Singapore? Stuff is mostly still in English and their network is fast.

Toothache. Most general pain I can just tolerate until it goes away. But I become completely useless with a toothache. I’m not productive and I’m irritable. I grab a painkiller as soon as I can.

This one just recently as I’m getting older: lower back pain. Getting up after sitting down for a while in an awkward position and the pain is so bad that I literally collapse into a squatting position with my hands on the ground until I can slowly get up again.

We’ve never seen pacman facing straight. What if its head is as wide as a burrito is long?

I was fresh out of college so was very susceptible to anyone calling for an interview invite. Got a call from a company I didn’t recognize and I was too innocent to not question how they even got my number. I dressed up and everything, brought my resume, etc. When I arrived, there was a bunch of us and then there was a presentation.

Yep, you guessed it, it was an MLM. It was the mid 2000s, so it wasn’t really well known as an MLM or pyramid scheme at the time. Hell, I couldn’t even understand why I was sitting through a presentation and not doing an interview. I realized it wasn’t a job when they started asking for money to commit. Barely 20 me still didn’t realize it’s a scam, but fortunately I literally had no money so couldn’t offer anything either way lol. After a lot of prodding, they finally let me go if I wrote down the names and number of 5 people I know. Then I realized that’s how they got my number. Someone in my circle went through the same thing and gave my contact info away.

I noticed I’ve been using “for sure” on in-person conversations often. Not on chats and comments for some reason though.

Explore The Old Republic era more. And smaller, contained stories. Leave the grand, bombastic stuff to the trilogy movies.

The Rebel Moon movies are better than Rogue One

Woah slow down there. I can understand not liking Rogue One, but no way the trash that is Rebel Moon is better.

I was surprised Yu Yu Hakusho wasn’t as popular around the world as I thought.

Wow, imagine all the stuff she witnessed and lived through from the mid-late 1800’s to the moon landing.

I think it’s more of finding ways to express negative emotions in a healthier/safer way, and not necessarily just suppressing it.

I use the Focus feature on IOS. I selectively silence the stuff that aren’t important (email, messaging apps, social media, etc.) and keep calls and emergency alerts active. 90% of calls I get are spam or sales calls and they don’t happen at night when I sleep. If I get a call in the middle of the night, there’s a high chance it’s important or it’s an emergency, so I don’t silence it.

Not much really. Separate profile on your machine or run it in a VM. Then maybe use a vpn. But that doesn’t really hide anything from zoom itself. Maybe use a throwaway email.

I just watched an interview of Karen Hao and she mentioned something along the lines of executives being oversold AI as something to replace everyone instead of something that should exist alongside people to help them, and they believe it.

Are are we applying butterfly effect mechanics here? If yes, the farthest I’ll probably go is the previous 24 hours to have the least impact on the things I don’t want to lose/change. Then I’ll probably bet on the lottery.

Moderat - The Mark (Interlude), which was sampled in the soundtrack for the movie Annihilation.
