Lmfao, desperately tried to finish an article before hopping on my flight, messaged my boss like “sent it! fun piece!”

And he was like “great! we’ll get it out Monday!”

And I was like oh Jesus fucking Christ it’s the weekend what the fuck

Is airplane WiFi good enough to pay for? I’m not even sure my flight will have it, just curious.

Lmfao, good times

Me: How does your country treat people who speak out against the government or people who are gay?

DubaiXBT: If your definition of freedom is as vague as
"speaking out against the government" then my convo ends here.
in the UAE we dont have;
racial discrimination and systemic racism, discrimination against marginalized
communities, gun violence, police brutality etc etc..

Me: lmfao, get fucking real

From 2023:

Alex Svanevik: Crypto is becoming a litmus test for how free countries are

Me: True, the UAE is historically far freer than the US or Canada.

Me, getting stoned to death for my sexual preferences: hey, at least I can buy BNB here though

You people are fucking idiots who only care about one thing: money.

And one day, when you wake up and realize how horrible your existence is in your "desert oasis" it'll be too late.

I’m guessing a lot of Americans are flooding stores here in Japan and going hog wild on shit to bring back to the states.

I bet she’s seen more than her fair share of people bringing back 10-20 pairs of shoes.

Story: went to a Onitsuka store to pick up a friend shoes (with tariffs they cost $200+ now).

“I’m here to pick up yellow Mexico 66s, size 10.”

Woman glares and goes “You’re here to pick up 10 MEXICO 66s???”

I laugh and go “no, size 10. You really think I’m avoiding tariffs.”

She does not laugh.

I really like the Mariners but I still think the Hanshin Tigers and the Detroit Tigers both being champions in the same year would be cool

Do you have a mill near you? When I was in LA I’d get fresh, locally milled flours for doughs and it was awesome.

Grab and Go Goodies, a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Skytree.

Genuinely delicious, sour and tasty Cajun fries, too, and they had a banana-chocolate-espresso smoothie that was also a banger.
