Both parents left Communist China (Mom as a child in the late 50s, Dad after highschool in the early 60s) and settled in Hong Kong. Mom had to work to help her family so she didn't complete elementary school. They grew up in turbulent times in that part of the world.

The new “honor thy parents” sermons are coming from Oprah and Mel Robbins. Calling estrangement a “trend” prepares you to feel guilty while filial responsibility laws can force adult children to pay f... TikTok video by Connie Chen

I like the overall message but the topic of Medicaid cuts and Filial Responsibility Laws is probably my most important takeaway. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UVhxrL/

Taking a day off in the middle of a work week is kinda therapeutic.

The Number Of The Beast

Went through a little rabbit hole and ended up listening to Richard Cheese (Lounge Music Parody guy). I did not know that he parodied Iron Maiden's The Number Of The Beast! open.spotify.com/track/5pRKK9...

I know Chapelle ain't great these days but his Comedy Central show got me into Erykah Badu with this gem so there's one silver lining. youtu.be/51OITPsjEu0?...

Like everyone has said he's one of the few meeting the moment. Let's hope it creates some momentum with the corporate wing of the party.

Film cameras were still mainstream (disposable film cameras were a big thing for parties), Digital cameras haven't quite caught on yet (pocketable point & shoot still a couple of years away from being ubiquitous) let alone camera phones. Taking pictures was still very intentional.

Seeing all the 21 vs. now posts on Twitter made me realize that my age 21 year (2001 and I don't know if there are any pictures of me from that year that I know of) was such an interesting period when it came to photography technology.

Not an EDM connoisseur by any means but this is my favorite because it accompanied the best opening scene in any action movie music.youtube.com/watch?v=-9ds...

Facebook reminded me that I visited Hong Kong 13 years ago. The two weeks I was there the weather did not cooperate at all. It was cloudy and humid the whole time. The only day the sun was out for the day I flew out. Lol. I wonder when I will get around to visiting again.

But it does mean the machine is good, right?

Cambodian noodle soup. 😋

Fuck! I forgot Bill isn't with us anymore! And it's been 8 years! RIP.

We need a True Lies sequel.

Goddamn it, I have been so tame on here! I swear to fucking god that in real life I swear quite a bit more and am really good at it. Like talking shit to my friends or telling assholes to go fuck themselves and eat their own shit.

@profanity.accountant let's see it

Also interesting that a person with those kinds of beliefs can make it to their junior year in psychology and not think, "hmmm..... The things I am learning are not aligning with my personal beliefs, I wonder why that is?"

before the cybertruck rich assholes could only achieve the rolling dumpster aesthetic by paying shady coach builders to modify poorly conceived Italian military vehicles

At least they have to try to come up with inventive flavors overseas. Here it's just BBQ, Super Hot, or Sour Cream & Onion and that's it. As an example I got this bag of Lay's chips that's imported at an Asian supermarket. It literally smells and tastes like Sing Tao Beer.

Love it! 🫂

It was good. Everyone liked it.

Letting it rest now. Will update to see how I did.

How it starts.

Happy Thanksgiving to my mutuals here in the US. My mind has been on the fire in Hong Kong so can't say I am completely enjoying the time off but I hope you get to enjoy it with your loved ones.

My old Persian work friend would approve!

me when the elon perp walk hit

So I bought a Top Round Roast by mistake thinking I can use it to make a Pot Roast for Thanksgiving (have since rectified with a Chuck Roast). But now I have this big piece of meat that I need to figure out what to do with. @ginerso.bsky.social do you know any oven recipes for this?
