I understand some people are infrequent traveler so they may not know, but showing up to airport security line wearing like, three layers, sunglasses, a hat, a belt, that you only start taking off when you get to the "put stuff on tray" part is just, sigh

So this week conservative Americans were mad at - a church lady asking Trump to show compassion to gay people - people saying Musk did the Nazi salute, which he clearly did twice on live tv I can't tell if they're that brainwashed delusional or they know they're being ridiculous but don't care

One way to do that would be to give coverage to Chinese flagships that offer newer/better hardware every year, thus shining a light on how Samsung and Google are on cruise control with hardware, but y'all don't do that because the phones "don't sell in US" (as if you only have US based readers)

Ah yes, it's the app that's trying to pull a stunt not the US gov's years long "will we or won't we ban the app" 🙄

Hey US gov, the fact Americans are "flocking" to another Chinese app after y'all said TikTok was spying on them shows they think you full of shit lol

All these "you can rent a girlfriend", "rent a family", "rent a companion" stuff in Japan I see western YouTubers/comedians do, it's presented as all fun because westerners love Japan. If this was in china, man the whole framing would turn so uncomfortable and gross

I'm in Chonqqing. Used Didi inside WeChat to hail a ride. But because it's a "mini app" within WeChat, as soon as I exit the app I can't go back to the Didi order again so I can't see the driver info or adjust the address. The ecosystem in China is a whole different beast.

It's gonna be funny seeing Fast 11 hastily tie up the myriad of plot points established in Fast X in the first 15 mins of film to pivot to become an entirely different movie because Vin realized Fast X got too stupid.

Here's a dude who very slowly got up from his seat and very slowly grabbed his overhead, which completely halted the exiting process because no one else behind him could move. I understand some people can't move easily so I am not mad at him per se, but I am using this to point out why making

I'm a heavy phone user and when I'm in, say, a 70 min car ride I'd just be on phone texting/reading/scrolling nonstop. I remember 7-8 years ago, such usage would drain like 35-40% battery from the LG G5 or Samsung S7 or iphone 6. With the modern large battery Chinese phones, I lose maybe 7-8%

Bali is the second airport I've seen (after Singapore) where even foreigners could enter entirely using machines and do not need to see an immigration officer. I got through in like 5 seconds.

I visited a snow-less Mt Fuji earlier this month and thought it didn't look right. So I used Google Pixel reimagine to add some fake snow lol. Like the US gov, we too can pretend climate change ain't happening too with Google AI

In addition to spreading misinformation and bigotry, that dude musk also made "verification for sale" a thing and it sucks. The checkmark used to mean "oh this person is a known professional" now it just means "ah this dude paying 15 bucks a month to Musk/Zuck" hell nah not paying a cent
