Welcome to the Internet
I have absolutely no qualms about the internet. I am positively glad that I was born in the age of the internet. I have been exposed to so many things that I would not have been if I had not had the internet. I probably spend more time on the computer than I do going outside. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. During the pandemic time I wasn’t glad that people were getting sick and potentially dying, but I was glad that I could do all my schooling from my laptop.
English Discussion Post
My association with ‘Flat Earth theory’ about begins and ends with somebody bringing it up as an object of ridicule. I think they usually bring this up because it’s a starting point almost everybody can agree on. Then after that the discussion probably starts to move towards other supposed conspiracy theories that are probably a bit more questionable—and probably political. My opinion on this is encapsulated in this quote perfectly: “If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Nothing in Particular
Truly, nothing in particular. There’s ants right now swarming near me. Apparently they like my retainer. I still can’t believe I have to wear this thing for the rest of my life. I was never taught how I should clean this thing too. Will probably get a new toothbrush to clean it then try to soak it in something. But I really don’t want to do that right now. I just feel tired.
Finally Fixed
Oh, that took forever. But I finally figured out a way to fix the problem I was having. It blew up while I was in Japan, so I didn’t want to divert too much attention to this while I was there. As a result, I ended up not having my nextcloud server and website not running for like a month. Actually, it might have been longer than that. Fuark. Well, at least it’s working now.
Gweilo60 Thoughts

Politics
If you’re not aware who gweilo60 is, then he’s a YouTuber that usually goes around China filming himself and giving commentary. He gets a lot of flak for supposedly being a CCP shill. Which maybe sometimes is fair and sometimes it isn’t. I would probably agree more with him than most of his critics.

I think he’s right about many of the things happening in the Western world. Maybe he’s a bit too positive about China sometimes, but I don’t get that impression most of the time.
Fixing Website
A couple days ago I spent a bit of time trying to fix this website. I got two things checked off. The first was figuring out how to remove the footer, the other was the custom favicon. Sad enough, both of those took me a decent amount of time. But, both of them are fine now. There are two main things which I need to do now. One is fixing the site on mobile devices.
Few Movies Seen Recently

I was on vacation and I got the opportunity to finish a few movies. Instead of creating separate entries for each one, I thought I’d just put it into one.
Xiao Wu/Pickpocket This is a movie about a bit of a younger man whose friends have kind of left him behind. He tries to chase after this karaoke girl, but she ended up disappearing with somebody else. Lots of scenes of him smoking and being moody.
Hate Wamen

I hate women. I don’t know how many times something like this has to happen before public figures start to realize they should just limit contact with women. Like, they’re not on your side. You’re just an idiot. I’ve always hated when people try to defend women portraying them as weak or people worth defending. You should never underestimate wamen, they are truly capable of destructive behavior. If you don’t think that’s the case then again, you’re an idiot.
Tenshi Souzou Noa Route
Categories:
Video Games
First route of Tenshi Souzou completed. It’s funny to think, but after this it’ll be the last full length Yuzusoft game to complete until I’ve read them all. I don’t intend to read all the routes. I think this game is pretty mediocre. I think really the best thing about Noa is that she’s drawn well. Other than that, don’t really think I have much positive to say. Her personality is kinda flat.
In the Heat of the Sun

movie reviews
I mean, I thought it was okay. Once you’ve seen some ideal Chinese girl in movies then you’ve seen them all. Okay, maybe an exaggeration, but the personality is usually very similar. Smart, aggressive, provocative, playful, etc., not like I’m blaming, those are good traits. Mi Lan was a good character. Monkey was interesting enough. I just thought it was okay. It’s a decent movie. Actually I watched half of this movie, stopped, then decided to come back to it a couple months later.
