chicken curry. I heard ethnic places make food spicier for natives, so I had my Indian friend place the order for me, speaking Hindi. It did seem a bit spicier, not so much so.

My friend got her master's degree. Her mother from India was supposed to come to the ceremony, but she didn't want to risk being detained at the airport. Thanks Trump. Anyway, I bought her a small gift.

I subscribed to The New Yorker and got a free 100th anniversay tote of decent quality. I cancelled after a month, and I only paid 4 dollars total. I didn't have enough time to read it, even though I enjoyed it. Oh well, free tote. 🙃

Tried to make Packard a lolcow on Kiwi Farms

Started blasting the Pointer Sisters when he heard their song in the newest GTA 6 trailer.

That would be cool and meta but they removed all of the interactive content. I liked to occasionally play the trivia games. I guess Common People kind of touched on this subject of enshittification.

Nah, they're all nymphos and enjoy your company.

Yeah, I heard about this. Enshittification, of course. They wanna focus more on their mobile games.

Chill is better than Fever

Tried tteokbokki for the first time today, that stuff the main guy in Squid Games was eating with his daughter. It was tasty, and I liked the texture, but it was actually spicy for me. I also ate Korean black bean noodles and kim chi and washed it down with oolong tea.

Happy birthday!

Shoyu ramen from the bougie mall. I was actually impressed. Last time I had ramen from a ramen bar in the US it was . . . well, shit.

GTA 6 should release on July 4, 2026. It would be very fitting for the 250th anniversary of the country.

Mochi is cooked. I like it, even the boring original kind. My favorite would be sakura mochi. Not for everyone, sure.

🤬 Original Pocky is pretty boring. The strawberry and matcha flavors are really good though.

I just realized I forgot about my 20th boardiversary that happened a few days ago. Oh well.

The Nosedive episode of Black Mirror makes me very anxious . . . but I still have a perfect 5.0 uber passenger rating. 🙃

Ok, finally finished the season. I never got around to watching the original USS Callister because I was reminded too much of Todd from Breaking Bad. Normally, this kind of thing doesn't bother me. I regret doing this because I think the original USS Callister was one of the best episodes of the entire series. The sequel was good too, not as strong I feel. So, I'd rank the episodes from best to worst: USS Callister Infinity, Hotel Reverie, Common People, Eulogy, Plaything, Bete Noir. It was better than the last season, but Loch Henry was my favorite. Mazey Day and Joan is Awful were pretty bad, and nothing this season was that low in quality imo.

@ghostrek Well, what did you do when you went out?

Remember that shitty adult swim show, Perfect Hair Forever? Yeah, probably not. There was one scene where the walking tree with a face comes in and says "I have sex with dogs!" 13 year old me thought that was hilarious. 😑
