PLEASE NOTE ON MONDAY, I WILL BE STARTING 1 HOUR EARLIER DUE TO A DOC APPOINTMENT!

Most of the text on this image is already featured on the original message in front of this alt tag. The schedule is located on the left side and to the right is my "vtuber" model that has bubblegum pink hair, peacefully sleeping with a snot bubble coming out of her nose, holding a panda plushie.

After 1.5 weeks of playing Blue Protocol: Star Resonance... I am still playing it. The story is crap, but it still feels kinda like the "Tales of" MMO that I was yearning for about 7 years ago. I love the glamours/wardrobe options in this game, it's just rather stingy for F2P options. I don't know how much longer I'll play it since I did finish the first installment of the main story over the weekend. Side quests are also badly translated and sloppy. Almost feels like an AI translated it, which is very disheartening. Either way, it fills a niche for customization in an exploration game that I've been missing since quitting FFXIV a few years ago. And it's cute, so eh.
I'll probably be leveling my "life skills" (basically the trade skills in other MMOs like FFXIV) and hanging out with whoever wishes to hang out!

Other than that, Genshin's 6.1 Nod Krai story is due out this week and I'll be working on that. There's also a new addition to Genshin called Miliastra Wonderland that allows us to customize a character, or something. Will probably dabble with that a bit too but I don't have my hopes up. It feels like it's unnecessary bloat to an already large game. We'll see. Somebody called it Genshin Roblox and I don't know how I feel about that because 1) I've never played or have plans to play Roblox, and 2) it has a whole other currency system that feels like a huge greedy money grab. That's the part that's making me annoyed the most.

I will take the internet's word that that's a Nazi symbol but if you're just looking at it on the wall of a parlor without the internet it looks more Grateful Dead than Nazi.

They utilize their clout & money to bribe others to get what they want. Most of them don't even show the goods once their demands are met.

CNN is reporting that the person shot by ICE today in south LA is gravely wounded.

A law enforcement source says the ICE agent’s weapon discharged while he was trying to grab the suspect, injuring the suspect and a US Marshall.

These thugs can’t be trusted with weapons. Abolish ICE.

Scientists have been studying remote work for 4 years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”

Flexible work boosts well-being and focus—people sleep more, commute less, eat better, and spend more time with family while maintaining results.

We have ~4 months to pester our legislators to end DST & keep Standard Time for our health!

Anyone ever wonder why winter, the months with less sunlight, were the only standard time months?!
Unless you have $$ to travel or lived near the equator, golfing & other outdoor activities weren't viable.

Safty told me I wouldnt like reading this because it's disturbing as a victim of r*pe myself. But it PISSES me off at how much people tend to side with the PREDATORS over the victims.

In a much lesser fashion, everyone in my immediate family & friends did this victim blaming bullshit too.

Honestly, why do we even have Daylight Saving Time?

• Woman: “Daylight Saving Time helps farmers, children, workers…”
• Man: “Be honest.”
• Woman: “I am being honest!”
• Man: “Be honest! Why do we really have DST?”
• Woman: “DST profits shopping malls, golf associations, and candy merchants.”
• Man: “Thank you.”
