Place your random thoughts.

Trolli gummi worms bring me back to my high school days when I used to eat them too much cause other foods bored me. When I get bored of food, I loose my appetite and just don't eat.
 
big dilemma. do I draw or do I go to sleep? leaning towards the latter cause this day has me exhausted and I have another busy day tomorrow, but I really want to draw Mabel lol.
 
Technology asphyxiates me :cry: I hate it so much.

- I hate being forced to use a damn phone for everything.
- I hate that people uses Whatsapp to talk to the person right next to them.
- I hate people not even bothering to look up their screens when crossing the street.
- I hate all the imaginary friends that people who uses social media mistake for real ones.
- I hate having to follow a chain of link after link to download a(ny) document that in the past I could just give on paper at the office.
- I hate that nowadays I must download a ton of extra apps whenever I want to buy/pay something online, when before just the credit number was enough.
- I hate that my old beloved videogames don't even read in stupid modern flashy computers.
- I hate that my discman from the late '90 still works perfectly nowadays, but a modern microwave only lasts 3-4 years.
- I hate that my 3-year-old printer-scanner burnt its feed/battery/cable thing, because there's no way I can find the same one I need due to it being too old already. Which means, a perfectly fine printer in working condition is now useless, since I can't plug it anymore.
- I hate all the obligatory cookies, apps, infinite scrolls, publicity and etc.

Uff, really needed to get that out of my chest. It's actually heartbreaking how much one can hate... :(

Yess this so much not only for personal reasons but also for old folks, disabled, homeless/poor people etc. Why force such a dumb digitalization thing upon us? Most old systems worked fine and it's not as digital stuff is presumable "safer" just because they remove actual cash or cards as we know them.
 
I can see why people loved Bart Simpson back in the '90s. I'm watching As Told by Ginger, and Carl Foutley is practically playing off the same kid-rebel character.

And tbh, I never really liked authority figures, so I relate to those two so much. Stick it to the man, man!

Edit:
Like what the heck ever. Censor this, yo mofool.

Edit 2:
From my experience, some of them can be quite hypocritical. It's little wonder we have an authority problem in America. They even wrote a song about it and stuff.

I’m thinking about deleting my Facebook. There’s too much negativity on there. Everyone complains and you see comments on posts talking condescendingly to the OP when all they do is ask a question. This is why I prefer forums. People are always so confident behind a keyboard.
 
dumb thought that just popped into the head:

surfing is skateboarding but in the ocean.

also cockroaches are like land lobsters except it's more socially acceptable to eat regular sea lobsters. **** society ima get me some roach for dinner.

I just got a brilliant idea. so this month I'm participating in an Inktober challenge. what if next month I do the same thing except with 3D modeling in Blender? I've been wanting to get back into that for a while.

Yes, censorship is a big thing here. We've banned chewing gums, and we've banned "adult videos" too, along with other "adult" activities.

Unsurprisingly, gay marriage is still not a big thing here, last I heard of. And people wonder why I don't like my country.

Yeah I remember reading a book that took up some cultural stuff that a lot of things is censored and banned like that. I assume you guys still have large fines on that and littering in general, too?

Yeah :/
 
Why is brown construction paper/brown paper in general so hard to find??? 😭

Yeah, but lots of people still litter and get away with it. Just don't do it in front of the fuzz, but otherwise, it's just a guideline.

I remember, I missed tossing a piece of paper into a bin, but the surrounding of the bin was so filthy that I hesitated to pick it up and walked away. This happens a lot.

It's not really a police state, but it's more like if you cause enough ruckus, yeah, you might get into trouble.

Freedom of speech is a bigger issue because you can't publicly badmouth the government, unlike in America. A Singaporean citizen was literally banned from Singapore for "treason" because of his criticisms on YouTube about our government. It's that bad. You can't even perform a demonstration without official approval.

And that's another thing - lots of things require a proper government-sanctioned license, including being homeless. You can't just be homeless on the side of the street without government approval. You can't "beg for change" either, as that's technically illegal.

Yeah I heard that too, now this books was from the mid-2000s and just mentioned in terms of Johnny's Entertainment things and how censorship and human rights are problem but basically consume whatever entertainment we allow lol.

And that last paragraph,wtf...
