My WeChat & Tiananmen: A thread.
I have long had the same WeChat account, opened in the US with a US number.
Recently, I decided to change the password. Never one to miss an opportunity to test boundaries, I used the most CCP-offensive password I could think of:
F*ckCCP89
In other words, “neutrality favors the oppressor”
Quoted eric_lang's tweet:This is the only MLK quote I will share.
He was an excellent man with excellent teachings, but this one is by far most relevant to our times.
Okay. This is going to take a bit of explanation and I will probably mess it up. Let me get all this out and hopefully it will make some sense.
It’s about Wonder Woman, and current events. It shouldn’t take too long.

Quoted AttyKitBelmonte's tweet:“Pero sa batas na ‘to, parang hindi terrorista ang tine-terrorize natin.”
So this feels like Duterte saw how the US cops were handling the protests and was like “I like what I see, slow down muna tayo sa VFA abrogation.”
Quoted inquirerdotnet's tweet:JUST IN: PH suspends abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) upon the instructions of President Duterte (📷 DFA Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr.) | @CMRamosINQ
It wouldn’t have required even above average reasoning skills to realize this would happen. In fact, this happened too during the pre-lockdown quarantine. So they knew something like this would happen and were like bahala na
Quoted karadavid's tweet:1st day of GCQ: a lot of stranded passengers along Commonwealth Avenue. Commuters trying to flag down private vehicles to be able to get to work. PNP truck passes by and commuters scramble to get a seat. Video from Allan Gatus of DZBB
This episode of The Simpsons turned 25 this month:
Not an American, but I considered writing out some of my thoughts on the current events there in a show of solidarity, but very hard to fit into a tweet. Probably need a blog post at some point.

@joyarmadamba If its gsuite (which it probably is if thats a custom domain) thats slightly less problematic since thats a paid plan, and they are not likely to arbitrarily screw you over
@wrongwaygoback They should be fetchlands too.

LGUs here still use free email services a lot (which is weird because they already have the https://quezoncity.gov.ph/ domain and some other pages cite email addresses at this domain). I guess they cant be bothered to make temp mailboxes?

Thread by @iwriteasiwrite: lays out what may well be the next 1.5 years to come: red carpet for China, big bonanza for the well-connected, and everyone else is on their own. Read it and weep. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1262297287444684801.html
Since we are already relaxing qurantine a bit, I have decided to commemorate the occasion by finally replacinf the wall clock batteries. Maybe that will help time make sense again
Quoted roytang's tweet:The analog wall clock in my room randomly stops and I guess it starts again
at some point since the time changes, so whenever I look at it I basically
get a random time. I thought about changing the batteries, but then I
realized this is super on brand for the quarantine period.

@QiaochuYuan but Final Fantasy VIII was on playstation?
I recreated the “Who Broke It?” scene from Parks and Rec with my Animal Crossing villagers
I guess it’s time to repeat the main thing I learned from reading a fuckton of Holocaust memoirs again:
propaganda does not need to be persuasive, only pervasive
its secondary purpose is to convince
its primary purpose is to exhaust

I’ve been playing Persona 2 and using a 9 year old Gamefaqs guide. Today the guide was updated to include this message because the author is now a born against christian
These people tried to spam and mass report a certain DDS Confessions page without realizing that DDS is a school in India (Daisy Dales Senior Secondary School) and the page is ran by its alumni.
Now they researched about our President and hence this post.
Yikes.
Sometimes I think about posting (on the blog) more often about the fuckups of the ph govt, but every day there are new fuckups, and I just don’t think I can keep up. Hats off to all the journalists with the energy to report on such things day in and day out
@Westraid i’m really envious, anything below 30 degrees would be so welcome where I am lol
@rocketkeis can you give me some suggestions for improvement?
Third #mtgiko quick draft went 6-3. Last couple of losses were close, almost got the 7. Are games just easier to win in quick draft? My win rate is at like 72% currently for QD vs < 60 for premiere. Or maybe I just got lucky and I’m gonna eat these words later? #mtg
Sige fine, maextend na ang ecq, pero pwede bang ilift na ang tagaraw
#mtgiko quick draft: while this Extinction Event was on the stack, I can see my opponent’s cursor mouse over each of his creatures in turn, realizing 2 out of 3 were even, then over mine one at a time, realizing they were all odd. Lol. #mtg
That was my 2nd quick draft. I haven’t been streaming them because I don’t plan to do a lot, but this one went surprisingly well, so documentation:
And yes, that was a P1P1 rare-drafted Eerie Ultimatum lol. I think it won me like 6/7 games
Got stuck in this state after winning the game. Bug I guess? Lol #mtg #magicarena
We might think our servers and black boxes run on some weird fucking magic shit but we got nothing on Taiwanese Kuai Kuai (乖乖) reliability engineering rituals.
I found it!
Quoted roytang's tweet:Looking for something I saw here on Twitter yesterday: a four panel tagalog webcomic where a certain notorious local politican kept adding GO to the end of someone else’s speech bubbles. Anyone else remember it?
