24/09/2021 (things i learned)
- Australia's new stolen generation. their welcome emails r really good, so much injustice against Aboriginal people.
- squid game (WATCHED THE ENTIRE SEASON IN ONE GO, phew ok less than 8 hours at least..., video players really should tell the total playtime of a playlist/directory), maybe should have wrote down my thoughts as i was watching it. story sucked, not novel politically nor socially. i guessed no.1 was the mastermind the entire time lol. tonnes of plot holes, like how police didnt get caught, staff having to know no.1 was mastermind to not kill him etc more that i forgot. disliked the propaganda and shallow critique of "capitalism", like ranking islands and projecting that hawai'i is a top tourist destination.
- intellectual property talk, sometimes i guess i do deserve good lectures without actively looking for them
- having to be inspective of the culture the paper/site/source comes from and balance with "people have thought about this", ok idk where i was going with this but i was just reading this paper and getting distracted with meta thinking
- funny how i hadnt come across the term "mager" (malas gerak) until today searching for "slang jakarta" on YouTube. Concrete evidence "show life" speak is different from real casual speak esp with regards to discourse topics chosen
- Mantul = Mantap Betul (funny never thought of that),
- Harris' channel gold mine for him and ricis content but his editing SUCKS, the sound effects are obnoxiously loud and there is no story to the videos. Idk what stories there are in (edited, not "no cut no edit" videos) ricisofficial videos but it's different. I think it's just her genius
- btw i watched her 3-4 year old videos and noticed she's a little darker. discussed colorism with ma&koh
- note i backtrack on insisting calling it youtube.com as including it is useless and for other literary effects as well
- software bug: ecosia clicking back button is a little f-ed up
- tf people speak spanish in new york ??? btw usa has such good linguistic educational videos, their research is probably top too... 13% of people in usa speak SPANISH>???
- aduhduh so difficult, ending pitch of questions... never thought to question my yuk chai english teacher Mr. Tee.
- this WIRED u.s. accent video is too difficult for me cuz im not familiar with remembering nor associating all their different accents... hold on a sec, if i as someone who spent my life watching their media but cant recognize differences, like no ah-hah! that's what it is! ok idk, means my 'understanding' of malay is wayy too nothing?
- havent thought of this in a while, so, yeah making use of brain's subconscious abilities to heavylift most of the thinking is a strategic plan. Language speaking is a prominent example, mixing up complex logical and ideological ideas in a stream of words. writing too lol, like wtv im typing rn.
- html svg is really good tbh, much easier to control than i expected. genius idea was to use `svg {overflow: visible;}`. final result is super hacky but good enough for what's required.
- hmmm i wonder if i accidentally threw away a gemlog before submitting it...
- benchling DNA designing "Cloud-Based Informatics Platform for Life" :o
- Harris' entire career was based off of ricis' omg... his youtube account is the one with them together most...
Super phrases! idk what these are called, but they're like catchy/memorable phrases that my brain particularly liked and picked out from the streams of audio
