wednesday. sunny. is winter taking a break in Aachen?

it would be pretty warm in the coming handful of days. “warm” in the winter sense as we were attacked by minus degrees last week but it might be up to double digit warm in a bit. ive been reading books and due to not having a laptop, been pretty lazy to post what ive consumed. i hope i get it back soon.

note: ive been reading Aileen Wuornos’ letters to her best friend and i must admit that some of my writing style might be temporarily influenced by her. Lee, i hope you don’t mind and yes, someone is even “stealing” your style. chuckle chuckle!

READ

“the Brazil variant”. fucking hell i thought there was another coronavirus mutation. clickbait. can’t believe it from The Atlantic

i finished How To: … by Randall Munroe. fun read. i read this and about Aileen Wuornos’ grim life interchangbly so i could sleep easier at night… America be fucking up my sleep for the past weeks with their unjust treatment/execution of women. ok exams are coming up, gotta buckle up

sunday. it’s getting dark and it’s not even 5pm

what a lazy weekend actually. probably very into holiday mood.

READ

just read an article about why the word “internet” isn’t really capitalised anymore. reads a little like linguistics philosophy at times (idk if that’s a thing)

the protein-folding problem. i didn’t know that Google does actual scientific research. cool

so it’s fine to leave the laptop on all the time

the common business-orientated language

blockchain is essentially a nuisance. also very sad to hear that this publication is going out of business though this was my first time reading it. the silver lining is that all published articles remain online.

saturday. sunnyish and coldish

woooo Christmas is soon and i officially declare December the month to munch on all sweeties every day and get fat! ahh…which is why a lot of New Year Resolutions are to lose weight…

READ

nuclear energy is clean and is the future. about tiny nuclear reactors

this publication’s “winner and losers in tech in 2020” but honestly the only thing i was half expecting was something like Zoom and Facebook…i really wouldn’t categorise e-commerce and streaming services as a part of it…

crazy. just learnt that the world’s biggest porn websites are owned by the same company. a sex monopoly lol. and yeah, it’s not a good thing.

friday. 2020 is coming to an end.

crazy. idek when was my last post. my new year resolution of “writing more blog posts” has greatly failed. haha.

READ

another white men privilege. someone spent 12 years exploiting women and babies but only got 6 years in jail and fined only what he could’ve gotten by selling 5 babies. haha.

i always thought tuitions is this weird phenomena in kiasu Asia. didn’t know it’s also a thing in Europe. poor kids.

first time hearing about people being mass-murdered in Mexico…a crazy story.

RECENTLY WATCHED GOODIES

Family Business on Netflix. weirdly, it’s called Joint Venture in Germany, which i think is better fitting name. it’s a French comedy about marijuana legalisation, which is H I L A R I O U S. really looking forward to the 3rd season!
