Short, title-less, often half-baked. Published anyway.

Seriously? I haven’t heard that shit since I was in high school in the 90’s! I turned around and looked, one boy looked away and kept saying “chin chan chung”. So I stopped him…

Looked him in his eyes and said “Don’t! That’s not cool anymore.” I caught up with my wife and son and told them what had happened. My son was pretty upset again but I said “It’s fine, they’re just boys trying to act cool.”

I always tell them those are bullies and kids are cruel and dumb like that so just ignore them. But then later in the afternoon, we went to Salzburg Castle. AGAIN! This time it was teenage boys “chin chan chung’ing” behind me.

Just had a rather unpleasant day here in Salzburg. Got called “chin chan chung” TWICE! by two different groups of tweens/teens. First, in the morning…

Went to Mozarts Geburtshaus and a school group of tweens was there and some of the boys chin chan chung’d at my kids. My 12 yr old son was especially angry because of that. For my kids, they experience racism a lot more bcoz they go to school.

Holy fuck getting speeding tickets while renting is expensive in Germany! I don’t remember rental car companies charging administrative fees for processing speeding tickets in the US.

In Japan, most people wear masks when they’re sick. They learned to do the same in Hong Kong after COVID SARS-1 in 2003. Here in Germany and France, no one is masking on packed trains. Some fat dude just wet sneezed a couple of times into his hands. I wish he had a mask.

Can’t believe how crowded Five Guys is in Strasbourg!

@DrZedZha That must’ve been real confusing when she told you she would’ve been better off giving birth to a 叉燒 than you. 😉😂❤️

@needle_e I saw that 😂 How’ve you been?! I haven’t been on Twitter much since Trump, plus I don’t think Twitter is showing any of your tweets on my timeline. Hope all is well.

I really hate reading the comments on political Twitter.

@iamarkdev @TOPIAgg I LOVE watching you guys check off that feature list! Is the game available for download yet? I can’t wait to let my 9 yr old try it!

@LefterisJP @rotkiapp If I had to sum it all up and tell you what makes a “successful” business, I would say: “greed and exploitation”. It’s all r/LateStageCapitalism unfortunately 😢 and I hated it!

But now I do wonder if we can create business in a better, fairer, socialist way in Ethereum.

@LefterisJP @rotkiapp Damn! I feel your pain. I’ve done that for 3 companies - 2 got seed funding, 1 self funded “lifestyle” business. Then I joined a non-profit as founding member and helped do the infamous fundraising that’s the life line of all non-profits. My startups went bust, small biz went ok

Blew into the grinding stone bowl, just to have the unused pepper from last time blew into my eyes!! Holy shit that hurts!!
