Hong Kong

I just expected like a flat New York “too tame to be fun” city but was met with mountains, beaches, and so many bizarre but charming events.

Not that I don’t like New York but it has changed a lot. I don’t want to say it lost its personality but I feel like a lot of big cities have become idk… commercialized?

The food in Hong Kong was pretty disappointing tho or maybe I built it up too much in my head. I went to so many restaurants that were recommended to me by either locals or expats and they were all so bland. Which is wild because I didn’t have to go far across the border into China to find amazing dishes.

I’m in the oldest bracket of millennials and I feel like I grew up with everyone shouting that our children would grow up in a hellish burning world.

My wife and I decided pretty early on that we’d rather live the good DINK life.

Just kinda stand there and daydream

Recently installed a tankless electric system so I sadly no longer get kicked out for running out of hot water lol

That and even if I agree with a lot of the posts you’ll notice that they’re posted by the same people at a very alarming rate. I’ve ran through and blocked anyone who posts the same topic every 6 minutes. Since then my feed has been less monotonous and slightly more authentic.

If it doesn’t come from loch ness it’s just sparkling whisky

lol I think you can fit more scary flags if you squeeze them closer together.

Hah what a crock of biased shit

This photo doesn’t even really stress how bad it gets right now in the spring because anywhere with sand/rocks will be a thick bush. Even in the photo the gray car in the middle is cutting into both lanes so a guy making a right has a bush and that to look forward to. If you decide to go north and take a left to get out then you’ve gotta dodge oncoming traffic and pedestrians leaving a busy store.

You should always take it slow and crawl out of a blind corner but obstacles make it harder for no reason. In this lot if you crawl out enough to see left and right half of your car is already in the oncoming lane and you’ve crashed.

Porsche etc drivers are the ones specifically where that is often a necessity due to how difficult theircars can be to spot.

Lmao so let’s throw bushes everywhere so people and cars can’t see, gotcha. Jfc people

Speaking of obstructing your sight, I’ve been test driving a lot bc I’m looking for my midlife crisis car rn. I’ve never had a shorter car before and I’m looking at maybe a Porsche rn which sits low.

The amount of bushes placed where you need to see oncoming traffic is stupid. Also all the blackout tinted windows that keep you from seeing traffic in front. I’m second guessing owning a shorter car

Who tf wants to see profile pics

For me the appeal of a car was having somewhere private to do drugs, awkwardly make out with girls, and hide from my parents.

I feel like those things are somewhat timeless?

We’re lucky that Ubisoft doesn’t make any good games.

Idk what system you’re using but I use CarPlay and android auto. Both of them are able to mute when I press the chat button or if I yell “hey whatever”

Idk but wtf are people always doing on their phone in the car. Am I the weird one where I can’t even think of anything I’d like to do on my phone while driving? I can change media and text my wife all via voice control if I need to.

I’m not even a one piece fan but I love the early episodes where they’re collecting the whole gang. Like if you don’t latch onto that part then you’re definitely not going to care about the rest.

I’m not sure what it is about car map searches but the suggested locations are always crap. My wife uses CarPlay and I’ll use that or android auto in my car. (So Apple Maps then google maps)

If you type like grocery into either of the maps from the dash then they’ll lose their goddamn minds and recommend some backwoods gas station instead of the local Kroger.

On our phones it’s totally fine but jfc the dash results

Honestly thrifting sucks hard these days.

I went to one of those goodwills that bring out totes of items and you buy things by the pound. There was at least 15 people just waiting like little gremlins waiting for the next tote to come out.

Definitely had a feeling they were all there to resell

The sad part is we’re not even allowed suicide booths.

Unrelated but for some reason the new TVs I bought came with motion smoothing or some setting that made it look like a soap opera.

I assumed suicide since pilot suicide is an oddly common phenomenon.

Jesus, I thought heat treating had become the norm for dealing with bed bugs?
