what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[fransu]

I'm italian and there's something that people defending this shit don't fucking understand.

they think the “Roman salute” is something unrelated to nazis or fascists but the “Roman Salute” IS the fascist salute. It's not a different concept, it's the same thing!! It's not "good" because it doesn't have the word "nazi" in it, It's the same shit.

And to people saying "He is throwing out his heart to the crowd" tell me if YOU would do it at a 45 degree angle with your thumb tucked in and your fingers closed together. Personally, a throwing motion in my imagination has your palm completely open and your fingers spaced out

Regardless, This is what propaganda is, They do bad thing and then they say "no it good actually" and the population goes "Ok then it's all good" it's not all good, They're making you think it is. It sucks

Politicians gain power through the Ignorance of the people, don't trust people just because "They said it"

Went out after work to register for PhilSys at the school next to RehabMedics, but they said they weren't taking walk-ins anymore. I bought Jollibee to get change. I saw all the rows of cars parked outside ChongHua that couldn't get in because the hospital was too packed.

I was playing Genshin and I saw this doggie in a cage being guarded by a ronin. I came to it's rescue and freed him. Then I noticed he was steadily getting away from me and followed him. As I kept following, he picked up his pace and eventually, he lead me to a buried exquisite chest! He really reminds me of Milo. I miss him.

We ate some Jafar's shawarma today.

Since MECQ is still in effect, we played badminton at home. Kuya Dex joined us and his foot got knjured and he started bleeding significantly.

My bff is in Hawaii now.

I sent one of my former roomates their luggage bag through LBC. It cost nearly 3000. I also did my groceries. There were many people because MECQ was announced for the next month.

Tuesday today. For the first time in probably forever, the net was terrible and cut out for a while. I got really flustered and irritated because the net cutting out made my work app run without me doing anything so my occupancy was getting really high.... Even now the net became unstable again and Carm has to use data.

Yesterday my brother called me coincidentally during my lunch break and wanted to call and play with me, so I decided to take a 2 hour lunch break so we could play Roblox. He's so precious. When I asked him why he called me, he said "Because I want to be with you."

We also did badminton last Sunday and I think I got a teensy bit better, though I still bombed when we played actual doubles. Oh well.

Shai finally told Rick and I about the huge problem she had that she couldnt tell us about- she had the Rona and was quarantining herself. She's already towards the end stages of recovery since she was at the end days of self-quarantine.

Nothing much happened really over the course of the past week, but last Saturday, my family called me and I thought I was going to hang out with my bro, but I had asked my dad earlier about our antivirus and a VPN, and he ended up changing our antivirus then and there and setting me up with a VPN. It took a LONG time. I was even the one who had to put the payment through on my laptop because the VPN wasn't spread across different accounts. And as it turns out theres a big problem with Disney Plus that leaves the login page black for some reason. But I can change my location now. I'm really grateful for my dad being so good with net stuff.

Then yesterday, on Valentine's, I spent most of the morning hanging out and playing Roblox with my brother. He always seems happy when he's got someone to play with, though I get so worried about him not having any friends or not doing physical activities. After I took a nap and cleaned the bathroom, I finally had my virtual date with my bf. We watched The Last Jedi, which was the movie that we watched in theaters in our first ever date (friend date). The movie was better than I remember lol. After that we also played some Genshin together and went to Heart island. We had a lot of fun, and I was really happy.

I've been so shitty to him lately, I hope I can keep getting better...

Last Friday, Rick asked me in the afternoon if I wanted to accompany him to Ayala since he wanted to buy a PS4 controller to play Genshin Impact with since he was starting to get CTS. I eventually conceded and we went afterI finished work. I ended up buying a pair of shoes that cost Php800 since it was on sale. Rick also bought his controller and after we finished, we ate at Moon Cafe. It was audacious that they didn't have the Salisbury steak in their menu. I ended up ordering the huge plate of nachos.

Last Saturday and Sunday, my brother called me. We try to call each other over the weekends, though it ends up getting me very worried that he's not interacting with other people. He's usually just playing on the laptop or the phone and doesn't speak much unless I prompt him. I even told him that I wanted to stop calling him so he could talk and eat with everyone else.

I also played badminton on Sunday, as usual. Some new people joined, a pair of siblings who said they hadn't played badminton in about a year, but they were both powerhouses. Again, Doc was trying to teach me how to hold the racket and taught me footwork, but I feel like I'm just disappointing him and being a burden to everyone else. I revealed my worries and fears to my bf about not knowing whether I'm just not trying enough or if I naturally suck at badminton- especially when I had a convo with Rick saying that I didn't wanna get better, and he replied "Nano man gud dili ka mutry" And that haunted me, cause I felt like I was trying, but maybe everyone else saw it differently?

Also the cat and I had a staring contest a few hours ago. I realize that they probably watched me because they wanted to see me leave so they could rummage through the trash.

I've started reading Moby Dick again. Hopefully I can keep it up until Im finally finished with it.

Yesterday, I was kind of ignoring my bf... Yeah it's bad. But I've been feeling a bit apathetic during our calls since we call probably more than 2 hours a day and I felt like we weren't really saying anything substantial. Also we'd usually be calling while playing Genshin so I can't focus on what he's saying and replying while I'm trying to play.

So yeah, I messaged him that I'd be playing Genshin until 10 pm, and promptly ignored his calls/messages. Then Rick sent me a game request and I accepted and he helped me fight a lot of difficult bosses. All the while my bf was trying to get my attention.

After I finally called/messaged him back, he was upset and told me for some reason he was jealous of Rick, but I assured him it was a completely honest and natural response. Then he was telling me how he felt like I always responded more lively to my friends and I didn't communicate well enough, since I didn't tell him I wanted to be left alone. We hashed out some of it and I also explained my feelings, like how I didn't want him to feel bad that I didn't wanna chat with him, and how our convos were getting stale. He basically understood and forgive me, though I also knew what I did was really shitty.

I still love him though. But I really can't give my attention to two things at once.

Then on Sunday, we went back to doing badminton. It had been skipped the week before because Doc wasn't feeling too well. This time around, it turned out that Doc had injured his left knee and had tears on his ligaments. Sir Erw also had a shoulder injury from playing badminton very agressively the night before. It had subluxed but popped back in, though he was in noticeable pain.

So here we were, 2 injured players, playing with me, a shitty ass player. So Im about the same level them injured hahaha. A few other people also joined, who were Chong Hua Mandaue PTs, though some of them had already stopped working there. It was the first time my ass had gotten so sweaty.

After we finished playing, Doc took us back to the sisig/pochero place again, and it was Alj's first time there, just like how it was my and Miss Dab's first time last time. Anyway, the food was amazing as usual and we went home very satisfied.

Been a while since I last wrote.

The weather's become pretty dreary, it's been raining a lot lately, though it's nice most of the time.

On Saturday, Rick, Tai, Kitty and I were picked up by Alj and we went to JY Square to eat at Ding Qua Qua, an unli dimsum place that was praised by the others. Kitty and I had never gone yet, and Kitty and Alj had never met up until then, so it was going to be interesting, to say the least.

We went about the mall for a bit, because the restaurant wasn't opening for another 15 minutes. Finally though we went in and got our seats and ate our brains out. We were super duper full, like I felt like vomitting.

When we were finished and left, Alj decided to bring us to Busai, where I saw an Izakaya and we were gonna have dessert at Dolce. But then we changed out minds and he brought us to another cafe where we bought some cakes that were a little stranger than usual. I got the Banana Guava cake and it was actually divine, and the Mango Pistachio that Alj got was surprisingly not that good, even though I had wanted it.

We were close to bursting after that, and ended up putting off finishing the cake by looking around us at the windows in the hotels, the creepy house across the lawn, and Kitty asking us trivia questions until we got home.

Today I took my birthday leave (which you can take at any point in your birth month). I spent the day basically just doing chores, and going to the grocery store in the afternoon. Thank God I didn't get caught in the rain this time around. I also sent money to Agaw. I played a lot of Genshin Impact earlier and now its 1:40 in the morning oof.

The past week we had a team meeting and were told that the daily goal would be increasing again, which is insane considering the goal now is quite stressful. It would be going from 220 to 270 by March. Members voiced their concerns and negatuve reactions, and ultimately we even decided that we should stop ourselves from going beyond the goal so that we can make a case for ourselves to keep the goal as is.
