The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to open the stock app and check my watchlist. It’s a habit I developed and reinforced over the past few years. Admittedly, it’s very time and energy consuming. Many times, I’m not trying to actively trade, it’s almost like an addiction that I have to watch the ticker price multiple times every day. When it comes to…
时光飞逝，眨眼2025过去了一半。去年底从日本旅行回来，说要好好过日子，感受这一狗二人三餐四季。于是打开了个记事本，记录每天的吃食: 1/1 沸点 1/5 龙门湾火锅 1/7 芭比Q 1/8 鱼 1/9 鱼 1/10 鱼 1/11 烫吧 1/12 小酒馆芭比Q 1/13（笔记无法识别) 1/14 火锅小? 记录停在了1/14号，就像很多开始了没几天又被我遗忘掉的兴趣爱好一样。如今半年过去，依然做些繁琐又无聊的工作，挣三五两碎银。从大了看，世界似乎更癫了，川普加了关税，川普又延缓了关税，抖音要被封了，抖音又暂时不封了，中东打起来了，中东又熄火了。看看身边，又似乎和之前的很多年并无两样，打工，吃吃喝喝，带狗子走走，还有焦虑性刷手机。…

After work, apps that make money on human…
The company had a layoff on Monday. I’m not impacted. Still, it sucks. It was announced in Jan that there will be a “performance-based” layoff, they would further announce who got impacted on Feb 10th. Even with the buffer time, it still hit me hard when the day actually came. As far as I can figure, there were 3 people gone in our team, all of them I had interacted with just…
Yuk Meadow, Yulong Mountain I met a cat on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山) in Lijiang. It was a cloudy day in July 2023, the second day of my tourism trip in Lijiang. We started the day early. Leaving the hotel at around 6:15am, we spent 40min to walk accross the hilly old town and get to the bus station. When we arrived, there was already a line forming, all heading to the Jade Dragon Snow…
