Everything from internet commentary to zillennial heartbreaks.
Well, that's one thing ticked off my new year resolution . I have a job now. It's a chain bookstore job. I'm a product advisor. That means I'm doing everything except cleaning the store itself (although they actually told me I might have to do that as well... so far that hasn't come up yet). It's a nice job. Consistent clock in and clock out time. Once the day's over it's over, no emails and phone…
Inspired by Wombat's post. The ⭐ is for things I actually use a lot. Physical ASUS TUF Gaming laptop ⭐ I chose this one because it's the cheapest available that still fit my (at the time) needs. I hated the Gamer™ aesthetic then and still do now, but we've been in a toxic codependent relationship for this long. If it's up to me now I would've bought a lightweight laptop with battery that last more…
The timeline of my life, in technology.
If you've been following the music world, you certainly have already heard that Pitchfork is putting up a paywall . If you haven't heard, well, you heard it from here. This decision (which most certainly was made by the upper manager over at Condé Nast) is as unpopular as it gets. The announcement post on Facebook was met with laugh reacts above all else — you fucked up bad if people laugh react…
First of all, this is not a post against immigrants and refugees. Their contribution to Thai economy and society cannot be understated. I'm talking about expats, digital nomads, and weirdos with their laptop at the beach. The type that doesn't contribute anything to the country they're staying in. I see it every day on r/Thailand. Expats complaining about rising cost of living. Expats complaining…
This post is inspired by Thomas Rigby's and Eula's posts. I don't (or at least I think I don't) buy new stuff all that often. Mostly because I'm basically like Frank Ocean on Pyramids , but also because I'm usually too lazy to go out and buy things. A lot of things I use in my daily life are things that existed before I come to, and listing those feels like cheating, so instead I'm only going to…
Downvote button. Toasting is cool but some of you are really annoying. One-click way to report AI generated blogs. This will not get abused ever. Filter by slash ships. Autoplaying music. MySpace style. Clippy. "Skip to recipe" button. Always on top notepad to compose your blog. Instant ban on vagueblogging. A way to hide posts with a specific tag(s) from discovery queue. Sorry guys, American…
I just downloaded Xiaohongshu. It's been pretty nice so far, just looking at pictures of lolita dresses. The algorithm knows me so well. I've also been browsing Twitter mostly for some funny tweets I can send to my friend (to which he'll reply "we have the same feed lol"). I don't come across a whole lot of bad faith content. When I do, I block the poster and scroll on. We reminisce about the old…
I can't cook. When you live in Bangkok, cooking isn't a necessary skill. But I figured I should at least learn how to cook a couple dishes so this is one of them I recently learned. Takes like 5 minutes to make. Butter garlic fried rice Serves one What you'll need About 1 cup of cooked jasmine or short-grain rice or as much as you want. 1 whole garlic, minced. 2 tbsp butter. You can use either…
One day while idly browsing Facebook (an activity that should place me on some type of list) I saw an ad for a a "listening bar" called Freaking Out the Neighborhood . I'd later learned that's a Mac DeMarco song, but I digress. The bar is in walking distance from BTS Thonglor. It seemed interesting. They play vinyl records with great sound system, and you sip on "affordable" drinks. Last night…
