Yes, I work night shifts, that's why I'm up daily from 4 PM to 8 AM. People who work night shift are the reason you can get Back-in-the-Jox, rent a hotel room, or go to seleven even at 2 in the morning.

Any other shitty questions about my daily routine or work schedule?

I even live in the same neck of California as Yuen so I'm just like

really

you gotta make Bay Area Asians look bad

Andy "see what antifa does??" Ngo, Ian "gamergate is good actually" Cheong, and Jared "let's get this motherfucker" Yuen

The Unholy Trinity of "Model Minority" Asians

Everyone else having some sort of talent or skill makes me feel like I, an average person, shouldn't be here in this decentralized Cool Kids Club.

Can we please normalize the idea that it's okay to be a Mastodon user without any sort of outstanding creative or coding talent?

Cis male anime fans are, as usual, cancelled

I don't really make jokes about the Flat Earth Society because even though they're monumentally ignorant, I don't see them as dangerous since they don't seem to be great in numbers.

But mask-hating Karens and politicians who think injecting yourself with cleaning products will cure corona? Ignorant AND dangerous.

"Why don't you post more about games you like?"

I would, if my mutuals here actually cared about said games. As far as they're concerned, my ramblings about Arcaea and MHGU would be basically spam.

I'm still upset that knzk dot me kinda just shut down while I wasn't looking. I admit it was on me for being AWOL for over a year but not being able to officially migrate and keep my non-toot data is oof

I usually prefer to give it time before changing instances. I don't want to disorient mutuals by changing instances like every week

I might jump instances in a month or so but the problem is that like 99% of instances not in Japan block Pawoo

I get why that's a thing but also Japanese artists are not going to jump instances just to cater to foreign fans

Tonight's tea: "boys vs girls" activities (in schools and TV game shows, for example) should not exist.

If one more person makes jokes about "people who are ignorant about coronavirus!! natural selection!" I'm going to force them to self-isolate, both on and offline

Like ffs corona doesn't just hurt people who refuse to follow guidelines on mitigating the virus. That virus can spread to same-home folks (family and otherwise) who didn't ask to live with an ignorant little shit, as well as people who have to be within proximity of others by necessity, like retail cashiers.

okay to be fair I'm not on Signal but that's because they require a phone number and honestly I don't like the idea that I should make a Google Voice number if I don't want to use my main one

How is it possible that so many people advocate using E2E chat apps yet NOBODY USES THEM

I don't care if it's cowardly or dishonorable or whatever to abruptly disconnect from an online game, if your MHGU auto-shout has a rape joke I'm disconnecting and you can fend for yourself.

Aight

If I explain why I can't bring myself to buy P4 Golden will I get cancelled

"What I use just works" is why no one I know who isn't part of the cyberpunk left is ever going to consider any of those. Or the fediverse.

I've tried to politely convince people to try Wire or Keybase, virtually no luck getting anyone to keep it.

I know Signal exists, but do I really want to make a Google Voice number just for it

"Leave discord because it sucks imho"

Yeah uhh good luck convincing anyone who isn't a technogically literate leftist, everyone else would rather get devoured by a Deviljho than ever use any alternatives to whatever is currently the biggest platform for social media, messaging, etc
