Old haunts

Back to the motherland

Me: i have had the worst day ever Asian aunties: ok VS Me: i have not eaten Asian aunties: HOLY SHIT DISASTER AT THE GATES DEPLOY THE MILITARY CALL THE EMBASSY WE HAVE A CRISIS ON OUR HANDS PULL OUT ALL OUR STOCKPILES

By the late 1800s, 'pontificate' was also being used derisively for lay individuals who spoke as if they had the authority of a member of the clergy. One might consider this sense of 'pontificate' to be the spiritual forerunner of 'mansplain.'

Worked at a company that lauded itself for shorter working hours. During the interview they said that I could go home on time if my work was done So I did, consistently. They were not happy. Left mainly for another reason but also I could smell them rustling up more work to make me do unpaid OT 💅

Every time Japan bolsters its military prowess The rest of Asia: *laughs nervously*

A new generation of poets rises, inspired by the same springtime that roused Dickinson and Shakespeare. A torch, passed.

Family friend whom I’ve not seen in a few months commented I look good. It’s amazing how having enough functioning blood in you helps 😮‍💨

Always seen fountain pens sometimes as a 'conversation' starter, ONLY in the context of expensive luxurious pieces that wow people in the richer circles ✒️ But nope. My cheap Pilot Kakuno (clear-white) became the group focus because no one else had a pen on them 🖋️

Sold some items as part of my decluttering process, and treated family to a meal with the earnings. Chinese cold cuts and grilled meats.

Just read "Cheese is just a loaf of milk" and now I'm kinda mad.

Just read the best analogy about the whole birthrate decline panic governments are screaming on about: "The wolves are complaining that the sheep aren’t breeding."

ALSO, can I just say "cavernous manufactory" is one heck of a choice descriptor for a dungeon I will ultimately call 'The Clyt' when referring to it in-game... #FFXIV

“The Clyteum” I wanna ask who the heck came up with that name for a #FFXIV dungeon, but doubt we’ll ever find them.

🤨 #Genshin

Time is such a weird, abstract concept. I -know-ancient Greece and ancient Rome were separated by a long time, but somehow find it SO difficult to think them being different civilisations off the bat. It’s just baffling to my brain D:

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

I always get weird looks from others when I tell them my ideal personal vehicle lol

For some reason I’ve been getting ads for rehab centres lately. Guys I swear I’m clean. The last Magic: The Gathering shot (pack) I got was almost 3 decades ago.

Giving the gift of [Purified coke] to the people of Doma. #FFXIV

え？えーえ？！？！！ チョッ待って🤯 声優さんって #原神 のホタルちゃん？！

Dropping a lasagna into a paper shredder would be a more efficient way to make spaghetti.

Maybe this is why they were so shook lol. Exhibit A: me texting my much younger sister just now

Getting random money credited to one’s bank account My mother: :D it’s my lucky day! Me: WHO THE HELL DID THIS AND WHY!

I always get weird looks from others when I tell them my ideal personal vehicle lol

Ya know, when writing interesting antagonists we tend to brainstorm a lot on how to make them relatable enough that they’re realistic characters. Irl evil people in this day and age seem to be closer to lazy Saturday morning cartoon villains.

Me: These medical records of mine were not documented into the government database because it was too long ago. A: How can that be? B: Yeah what’s up with that? Me: ..I’m old? A+B: How old? Me: *tells age* A+B: WTF YOU DO NOT LOOK IT #JustAsianThings

❌ Training and keeping active for my well being ☑️ Training and keeping active to be able to play with and catch a Houdini of a chinchilla

LOOK AT MY WONKY CHINCHILLA BOY HE'S SO PRECIOUS A LIL GUY

Chinchilla snoot. Yes, Lil Guy was booped

The fact all my parents’ children are vehemently childfree is quite the critique of them lol

Folks who have family homes to fall back on are very, very lucky.

A friend who has been obsessed with a high-protein diet from Tiktok, believing it will solve all his health problems and delay aging… …has just gotten gout. Can we normalise not doing dietary extremes and just do a balance?!

Something @krozgentheork.bsky.social brought to my attention that I had to take into my commonplace book.

I keep seeing people admonish others about discussing politics. To that, I say:

Here she is btw. Canon PowerShot G16. Had an older G12 model I tried to get Canon to fix (lens had grown fungus) but they couldn't, so instead offered a nice discount off their--then--newest series model. She's been with me ever since 2013 and is still working just fine~

Really am not a fan of amusement parks at all, but hot dang I want one of those turkey legs from Disneyland.

Talking to a photographer Me: Oh hey I have an oldish digital camera that still works. Could I bring it and you help me familiarise with it again? P: Sure. What model? Me: *tells* P: Bruh that shit is vintage and could probably sell for a lot Me: Why does this happen so much to my stuff 😅

Whoa I found some ancient relics

Saw a huge pack of baking soda that was “non-food grade”. This is why I have trust issues.

Was telling a friend about my recent learning exploits Friend: Hey wanna see a funny meme? Me: ? F: VI - VII Me: Me: Me: MOTHERFU-

Why is Latin in everything? … I suppose it’s more why is everything Latin?

A much younger colleague has been calling me a “life sempai” and I keep telling them I am just as clueless about everything 💀

I keep seeing people admonish others about discussing politics. To that, I say:

People around the world are always so aghast when I reveal there are no seasons where I live. The only season on the equator is hot and humid Satan's Arsecrack of a climate 365 days a year...

SO STOP PUTTING IT IN TO EVERYTHING YOU SLOP-SUCKING FUCKWADS www.techradar.com/pro/copilot-...

Someone gifted me American chocolate once and I was super excited because the USA is known for its candies and all. Tasted it and damn near vomited because it tasted like puke or stomach acid. Never again...

I just clapped a mosquito hard as a reflex and now my hands hurt even more HELP
