Mexico
I just recently came back from my second (third now that I also just came back from 2022 trip) motorcycle road trip from Mexico, this time I planned for a longer adventure to go during Dia de Los Muertos to hopefully see some cultural aspects of it. I’m so glad that I was able to plan for a longer trip because it was so worth it, I had so much fun and it was so relaxing. The first time I rode…

If Ariel was under Ursula’s care and grew up to be her sea witch apprentice. Canonically, Ursula was Ariel’s aunt (but the concept was abandoned then brought back in a book as I’ve heard…) See a higher resolution at my twitter :)!
This post is a perfect example of how proficiency in a language doesn’t mean you have to understand everything native speakers say, since what the fuck does this even mean
He funged the tokens, I don’t know how much simpler it can get.
It occurs to me that some people might actually want an explanation so here’s the cliff notes: --
- Money, and most forms of currency, is fungible. This just means that any piece of it is interchangeable without changing value -- one dollar is one dollar, whether it is represented by a fresh new dollar bill or an old wrinkled dollar bill or a record kept in a ledger or a record in a computer. Being fungible is one of the core things necessary for a currency to work as a currency (alongside other things such as ‘being recognised as currency by others’ and ‘the value being backed by something that can ensure reasonable stability, like a stable government’). If you’re currency isn’t fungible, then it isn’t currency -- you’re not buying with it, you’re bartering. So that’s what the “fungible” part means.
- People trade with non currency stuff all the time. People trade in favours, faith, and small numbers of resources that someone else needs more. When people trade in large value items, they usually estimate a value for the item; people might trade in high value artworks, for example. This is a pretty common thing for rich people to do as you can cook books in all kinds of ways through the trade value of unique items with no obvious parallels. Who’s gonna tell you your numbers are wrong, after all?
- NFTs -- non fungible tokens -- are the latest fad by cryptobros who are a) trying to imitate the unregulated illegal trading of the rich without understanding it, or b) running scams that bank on the idea that other cryptobros don’t understand it. They’ve basically taken cryptocurrency and made it non fungible. Cryptocurrency is ‘mined’ by making computers do really, really complicated math, and the math gets more complicated the more of it is ‘mined’. It has to be like this to keep it rare and combat inflation. But, while each bitcoin will have a different ‘serial number’ the same as each US dollar note does, bitcoin are fungible -- one bitcoin has the same value as another bitcoin. (Users frequently ‘tumble’ their cryptocurrency -- swap it with each other in a complicated, automated fashion -- to launder it.) NFTs are instead URLs, and their gimmick is that each one is different! And can be worth a different amount! You can’t just swap them; they’re non-fungible!
- To convince people that the URL is worth something, they put a ‘unique’ digitally generated picture there. These are hilariously ugly. Confused cryptobros who don’t really understand NFTs tend to become convinced that what they bought is that picture, and they ‘own’ it in some way that’s deeper and more entrenched that’s just like, commissioning art. This is quite funny because you can really upset a lot of them by ‘stealing’ their NFT (copying the picture).
- What this dude has done is not just copy-paste a bunch of NFT pictures (lots of people are doing that), but decrypted the URLs. The actual thing that’s been bought. This is extremely impressive and also completely pointless, but computer people love doing pointless things just to prove that they can be done. It doesn’t achieve anything, but it’s bound to tick off the NFT people, which is always funny.
Reblogging this both because “oh my god they funged the tokens” is fucking hilarious AND because the explanation helps other people understand how hilarious it is
The true MVP with the explanation. 😂
The Perfect Match
I love these two. LOL. I ferociously stan Xiao bin and his level of loyalty to Ting en... And their hilarious bromantic moments. 😂
Happy fourth day of Lunar New Year! Birthday of the 🐑 and regarded as the birthday of the god of wealth. Apparently, we're not supposed to leave the house for too long in case the god of wealth decides to drop by for a visit.
... Can I use this excuse to not go to work? 😂
Travel
There’s always different kinds of travelers out there, for me– to have a great and efficient trip I always believe that proper pre-planning is needed to make sure you don’t waste too much time doing nothing (of course down time would be taken into consideration to rest up for the next activity). There are some amazing apps out there that helps with those planning moments. The ones I like to use…

I’m sorry but...ur telling me there’s actually people aged 30+ on here reading fanfic ... with whole families ..
I assume this is sarcasm lol
Got bad news for them about the ages of who is writing the books and scripts and filming the movies and tv shows they like …
Got real bad news for them about the age of the people who run AO3.
Got further bad news about the age of many of the popular writers in most fandoms.
Someone’s gonna be horrified we hen they find out how old the actors playing their faves are…
So this post circled back around and I wanna clarify my snarky comment at the start. I was purposefully pointing at the creators of tv shows and movies and books, not fans in fandom, for a reason. Most of those influential figures are white men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, even 70s. For long established book series, i.e. Tolkien or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, they’re long dead.
It really troubles me that there’s this rise in teens targeting older fans (hell most aren’t even old, I would not call someone in their 30s old) while blissfully consuming media created by men twice the age of those fans they’re saying should go do their taxes or take care of babies or whatever.
Why are older men allowed to create, shape franchises, set ongoing stories for decades … and older women (let’s be real this stuff is almost always lobbed at an older woman for daring to have a hobby and friends) are expected to fade into the background and never speak up about their interests, or indeed have interests, ever again?
What is happening to these kids? I see teenage girls insisting that any woman over 30 is a hag, a creep, pathetic, and should no longer speak to friends online or go to conventions or enjoy stories or create crafts or write for fun. That’s what they think of their futures? That past a certain age they aren’t allowed to have friends, hobbies, interests, spend money on things for their own enjoyment, do things for fun rather than profit?
That’s bleak as hell.
It’s super bleak, and it makes me sad, and angry too. Additionally to what’s been said about ageism and misogyny, it seems to me like they’re succumbing to the very capitalist idea that people over a certain age (25? idk) shouldn’t do anything for fun, but only for profit. And that’s…horrible, really. That’s not how human beings work, and one of the reasons why burn-out and depression are soaring to new heights is because of this mindset - that people should only work, only sell their talents, but not have the time or energy for playing. We need playing though. We need fun, we need hobbies, be it at age 15 or 50. Their refusal to accept that adults could possibly need fun and games too - other than, say, the very male-centric stuff like watching sports etc.? That is what capitalist brainwashing looks like.
I am 29 and I admit that many times I feel bad because my hobbies like read fics and similar things. But then I think that is ridiculous and as many people here told me: there is nothing wrong in enjoying your hobbies.
I am learning to stop feeling like this, it is absolutely toxic.
You see this with the monetization of hobbies as well. It’s not enough that you just have fun making art or consuming fiction. You have to have your own Etsy page, a patreon, and an entire digital media presence to have “permission” to enjoy your own free time!
Women get this aimed at them as well because there is still this pervasive and subconscious idea that once a women passes age 25, she should be doing her womanly duty of being a wife and mother. And if you’re not a wife or mother “yet”, you should get on that instead of enjoying your hobbies. Otherwise, your life has no purpose, you are not contributing to society, and you’re a “hag” 😬
I had sort of a midlife crisis about this when my 30th birthday came around. Freaked out for 6 months prior because I worried.
Growing up, I had this image that anyone over 29 had to be bleak, grumpy, and mad at the world because that's what adults seemed like to me and how society showed me "adults should be". But me, getting to this point-- I had all these things I wanted to do and I loved wearing colorful clothes. I wanted to continue watching my fucking anime, reading my mangas and having fun and got SO scared that I wouldn't be allowed to do any of that anymore because "aren't you a little too old to be doing/watching this/that?". (Also because a good chunk of my classmates were all having children, there's this low-key pressure that I should be popping out kids by now).
I had to sit back and realize how ridiculous that sounded... 🤦🏻♀️
Transportation
When traveling, there’s only so much you can do when it comes to getting around. If you happen to be in a condensed city like Tokyo, downtown Los Angeles or New York city then you might be able to skate off with no rentals and take their public transportation, but that’s only if they provide solid and reliable public transportation. Which fortunately, some do, example: Tokyo, in terms of both…

Potato Chip Rock Trail
Potato Chip Rock Trail
We were trying to start and finish our 2020 six peak challenge even though it was already October. 😂 We decided to start with Mount Woodson, also known as Potato Chip Rock since we planned on hitting San Diego during Halloween weekend. I was a little worried at first since it was a really popular trail and usually that meant A LOT of hikers. Especially since there’s also a shorter hiking trail…

Mount Wilson Trail
Just finished hitting my second trail of this year: Mount Wilson trail! Conquered it this past Saturday with David and another friend. Can I say, I’m so glad I went with the right company. There were so many laughs and cries on this weekend’s adventure. Hiking with the right people is always the best thing (although, I’m all for solo adventures/hiking, but always make sure to play it safe and…

Iron Mountain Trail
It’s definitely been a hot minute since I wrote on the blog, mostly because traveling was out last year as well as the foreseeable future, there wasn’t much I had to write about since I didn’t go anywhere. I had originally wanted to head out to the hiking trails but even those were being closed down because SO many people were heading out onto the trails. Then fire season came along and tore…
