This is cool - a look at Malaysia’s ubiquitous horse racing calendars which display Gregorian/Islamic/Chinese lunisolar & Tamil calendars as well as State and national holidays, festive dates for each community, religious observances, school holidays, and the Chinese zodiac — all on the same printed sheet of paper while maintaining clarity and functionality.

The article in last boost also mentions the U.S. government and Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Google as being cause for concern.

Idk if it makes sense but I feel like I need a brain reset (and have been feeling like it for the past few weeks)

Concentrating on stuff is like "you mean, you want your thoughts to skitter all over"?

(And usually I can force with Extreme Deadlines but I'm trying not to use these methods anymore orz)

Making it a point to say very loudly in front of every Momofuku that the founder is an asshole

(tbh I was already doing it, but doing it louder now)

Randomly got recommended this inflight safety video from Air India that tries to make ppl pay attention by using traditional/cultural dances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al51WZcN2_U

geraineon,
@geraineon@blahaj.zone avatar

And it reminded me of the recent-ish Malaysian Airlines inflight safety video which was pretty amazing actually (I watched the whole thing! in flight! so it clearly worked, because I usually don't... pay attention anymore). It's a lot more well-integrated, and very, very catchy:

Happy ace day (I totally forgot). Spent the day with housemate eating delicious things and met fedi friend so it's been Ace!

(Don't groan, I am proud of that)

I hope your day has been ace too so far~

Just so you know there is an Indonesian phrase for expressing gratitude that’s exclusively meant to be said by foreigners and they all just know it the moment they talk to locals.

The phrase is Terry McKasey. And the response when someone says this to you is Terry McKasey Cam Bali or just Cam Bali for short. Sometimes saying Summer-summer also works.

... Genuinely the block and mute is so broken on here orz

geraineon,
@geraineon@blahaj.zone avatar

In case you didn't know, you need to mute user when you block them too because blocking doesn't prevent them from appearing on your timeline. If you are in a conversation with a few people, one of them you have blocked AND muted, and the conversation has ppl replying to it still who you did not block and mute, you will see the entire conversation anyway. This is a PSA.

Edited to add: I'm on Sharkey

@irfan treat block as "I don't want you to read my posts" and mute as "I don't want to see your posts" on here.

What's happening though is I blocked AND muted but I still see replies because it's in a thread with someone I did not block or mute. When they reply, I see the comment they are replying to. Essentially it means I still see the conversation in my notifications anyway. Which kinda weakens its purpose as a safety and curation tool

geraineon,
@geraineon@blahaj.zone avatar

@irfan the reason why I initially thought blocks only would work is because blocks on twitter worked as block AND mute at the same time. Without needing to further mute people

geraineon,
@geraineon@blahaj.zone avatar

@irfan yeah. Imagine the nightmare scenario of being in a conversation you want to leave but forever cannot leave because block/mute doesn't work and people keep replying to it, tagging you haha. Hahaha....

geraineon,
@geraineon@blahaj.zone avatar

@irfan there are some big accounts here I blocked because I think they are too loud and too sure about their positions and thoughts (which I disagree with) and I STILL see them on my TL after blocking coz people boosts them. So I had to mute. And then I muted their usernames too.

Three Layers! Just to get peace from them

geraineon,
@geraineon@blahaj.zone avatar

@irfan i am petty and my memory is long, so yes, if they have landed on my mental shit list, i never wanna see them on my tl ever. I will do everything I can do ensure it ​:blobfoxannoyed:​
