LB: some of the most miserly people I know are also the richest people I know

It's a small sample but hey it's a pattern

Feditip: Opening a post in its original page enables you to see the replies you don't from your own instance because of silence/block of other instances. Then you'll know if what you mean to type as a reply has already been addressed, or if there's a deluge of the same reply!

I see this happening a lot, and it results in unnecessary stress on both sides

I have a lot of thoughts related to the recent posts about how Fedi (or "Mastodon" I guess, as most people are only referring to Mastodon) has "lost" to Bluesky, and how terrible it is that people are not willing to learn how to be on here, it should be MORE POPULAR, that mostly boils down to two things:

1. I still think Fedi is the best social media platform we have for an open internet
2. But I don't feel comfortable recommending people to hop on here unless I am personally willing to be their guide too, and if they are not willing to put in the time

Personally, what made Fedi work for me is my willingness to drop my entire network and restart, and I have the patience to look things up, read documentations, investigate instances. I moved instances four times, opened accounts on more. I don't know if I would expect people to do that lightly.*

*choices are still choices, and we should own what our choices mean, but this is an explanation for why it's Hard to Fedi #NeonFediThoughts

This is the best fucking mochi I ever had and also the best food I had in my whole trip back so far. Fifty tales duck egg kaya mochi taco. The mouthfeel is amazing. The taco crunches, then the mochi is soft and squishy, then the filling is rich, runny, savory sweet. I'm gonna miss this so much when I go back to the U.S. 😭

This popped up on my youtube recs and you know what, SG is very good at marketing their food (I have not been to most of these places so idk, but this is a pretty good mix of types of food):

The lorry that comes by to recycle your paper/cardboard/stuff saying "Sau kau pou chi, sau lan din seung, paper lama paper lama~~~" (we take old newspaper, we take broken battery box [???])

The soy milk and taufufa truck

The ice-cream bike

idk if they do this anymore...

Introverts =/= socially anxious

One of my pet peeves is when people conflate the two and talk as if introversion is something that needs to be "fixed" or "helped with."

Iirc some JP instances do not federate with EU hosted instances because they don't know how GDPR will affect things. Learnt about it in one of the instances I was in previously

In SF, once I stayed in a hotel that had a toilet facing the street with transparent glass wall covered by a blackout curtain

Today, I am in a hotel with a toilet that faces the bed, with a transparent wall with a blackout curtain

... Why

I want dim sum for dinner ...haven't had good char siew bao in a while. And I want wu gok, lor bak gou, lau sar bao, fu pei kuen, har gao, fung chao, etc. (these are my usual orders + whatever that looks interesting).

Lunch today is steamed cabbage rolls with meat and mushroom! The only troublesome part of this is remembering to soak the shiitake mushrooms and defrost the meat (used mince turkey as it's the only meat I have right now).

I've a question I'm hoping someone can answer:

If you import posts from an instance into a *key instance you are moving to, do your followers get spammed by all your imports? Can you import posts into Misskey?

Thank you!

Thinking about DFBB last night made me think about Stephen Chow and now the "only you can take me chui sai ging" song is somehow looping in my brain

(DFBB - Dong Fong Bat Bai [The East is Invincible] has the association with Stephen Chow because he had a movie where he spoofed the name to The West Fails - Sai Fong Sat Bai)

((DFBB is a character from Jin Yong's Smiling Proud, Wanderer))

I'm not even picky about food by Malaysian standards okay... But sometimes I feel like I sound like the pickiest person here in U.S. -_- (okay but then again, my colleagues and some friends are the type who can just eat whatever and consider food to be fuel and not something to enjoy)

Going through my soap collection now that I've rearranged my coffee... And realizing that I might have a problem

Ever since I've gone full shampoo bar, soap bar, cleanser bar, I've been collecting them from everywhere I go like collecting Pokemon 😂
