i wish there was a way to econometrically estimate the parts of my woes that are not really my fault (e.g. being a foreigner in america) so that the residual parts can be clearly attributed to my personal failings

i've decided that since i'm on holiday i can allow myself to go to sleep without further staying up agonising about whether i should be more productive before i let myself sleep (it's 11 pm) (i rarely actually get anything done by agonising about it after 10 pm anyway)

airbnb and hotel rooms on this trip do be having everything except glasses so i can drink water

unfortunately even though i don't know what danielle or bunnies is i knew about newjeans (my sister and one of my best friends are fans) so context clues tell me immediately who danielle and bunnies are

the gambling ads on ESPN makes the people in the ad look miserable. they're gambling at the gym, at the restaurant, in front of the TV, in the bedroom. if they wanted a crippling addiction bluesky is free.

there are like 30 people in my instagram close friends list but when i post photos from this trip as stories to that list i really only need about ten people to see. only one person even tbh.

the music in this bar/restaurant has gone from stacy's mom to i love rock & roll

I made this for @sellingtheta.bsky.social:

grad student spam is very funny because of course sergeant christopher craig of city agency dot gov is emailing me from keysmash at gmail dot com about how his 10th grade child needs tutoring in economics

ah yes i now own two calvin klein branded items, a plush blanket i bought for $50 at bed bath and beyond in central jersey during freshman move-in in august 2019 (as my one luxury purchase, ha) and now a plastic frame i got for $218 at an optician's in midtown memphis

i'm being informed that credit to this probably goes to sb from vietnam and now i'm mad i didn't think to do this first

saw that some vietnamese restaurants here brand banh mi as 'vietnamese po-boys'. that's awesome.

i think my new orleans hotel bed was built for a throuple of short people

my home river is the relatively minor but highly polluted Nhue river, which is about 76 km long and currently takes water out of the Red river and flows into a different river south of and parallel to the Red river. i went over it for primary school every day.

international finance final update: i don't know where I messed up but we now have an optimal portfolio weight of -33.8 on CHF and -20.2 on NZD

Made me laugh

oh dear. looks like i have an upper respiratory tract infection.

is it that complicated though

are there any 21st century micro (or macro idc) denominations that use the tower of babel story to argue against specific modern things

is it worth trying to go to waffle house at a quarter to 11 pm

i've 504'd the fred website lmao

bringing shame on myself tbh, i call myself a recreational spreadsheeter and then i feel demoralised about copying columns from idk fifteen different csvs into one file with aligned dates

oysters are a great mollusc but the south needs to admit that deep fried oysters are a mistake and stop trying to make it a thing

tbh in some ways the infrastructure in much of jackson looks a bit like if a vietnamese city in the 2000s also for some reason had 1.5 parking spaces per head

if i had a nickel for every time i visited a cathedral when sb gets baptised i'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it's happened twice

i wanted to try my linen shirt today but it's 46°F/8°C here

if nuclear war starts can it happen before my final exam deadline

my legs, back, and shoulder muscles do not thank me for today

I cant wait for Reddit to close the debate (and its a legitimate debate) on the consequences of a country with an NIIP of negative 90% of GDP deciding that it is rejecting a situation where “the American taxpayer is underwriting a sprawling architecture of global governance.”

man i feel kind of extravagant having all this room to myself

lol

The Offering of Christ once made in that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction, for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual; and there is none other satisfaction for sin, but that alone.

guy who makes 'american things happening in america americanly' jokes but means it in the 'america is two continents' sense

oh hey there's one interesting point that i agree with

my back is not going to like this walk

what just happened

in a neighbourhood called fondren for lunch, looks pretty lively all told

they have live catfish in a museum exhibit. i don't think i've seen a live animal in a museum exhibit before.

at the state agriculture and forestry museum, which has a lot of fascinating artefacts and meta history but also is extraordinarily bad at create a coherent linear route and narrative. most notably it has three big miniature rail models that are completely disconnected from neighbouring displays.

i feel like the font tells us that these signs were put up a fair number of decades ago

i am in jackson

train update: middle aged black man has shown me a photo of what was probably a chinese onlyfans girl cladded in lingerie

i'm not sure this martin wolf book is for me. so far i'm about 75 pages in and it all sounds a bit like 2017 resistance twitter threads from people who read wikipedia a lot

hahahahahahahahaha

yes even on the city of new orleans train there is still at least one tall white man in glasses that i would consider

very unfortunate that tony dokoupil is really hot

this bed is so good and i don't want to leave it at all

sb tell jason to stop

gb news keeps posting clips of charles amos on instagram in a way that's clearly intended to humiliate him even to their supportive audience which is hilarious
