  1. im catching up to technology..lol. i did my first mobile deposit tonight and it was super easy. if anyone hasnt tried yet, you just download the appropriate app for your bank and take pics of your check (front and back) and thats all you do. most banks are drive thru only and lines are ridiculously long now. i dont even attempt to go anymore. i can cash checks from my manager but he gives me the look because i bring him like 4 to 6 checks at a time lol..the bank i normally went to got closed permanently, so i thought about opening a new bank account for deposit only at someplace closer to home but now i dont have to. i can understand why most banks dont allow ppl in anymore except appointments only bc ppl can hide their faces much easier by wearing masks..plus they dont have to employee that many ppl bc you only need a few ppl to operate a drive thru. sucks for them to lose their jobs like this but it became much convinient for me i guess, forcing me to try new things etc.


  2. its only time before theyd do another lockdown here in houston as well. i heard s.cali now are in stay at home order. and yeah they keep pushing back promises of stimulus and loans, everyones gonna suffer. most of warehouse workers are gone here, they came during lunch break buying beer and deli, but some of them still live around the neighborhood, they come and let us know that they were laid off in mass numbers at a time. itll eventually affect my workplace too, we already lost a lot of regular customers since this year.

    im really against taking vaccine though. i think luring ppl to get vaccine with stimulus is very plausible, O_o it might end up forcing ppl too if mass # of ppl still refused. last month or so 50+ died from new flu vaccine in s.korea. even though news says this new flu vaccine was not related to covid, id guess they were testing on ppl and then covered it up as just a normal flu vaccine that went awry..right. even if it offered a million i would never take it lol. it just doesnt feel right to me. if im forced to wear my mask in public forever, ill take that instead of taking vaccine as im so use to it by now 


  3. Spoiler

    im just gonna pretend prequels and sequels never happened. first time i heard lucas was making a movie about a kid darth vader back in 1999 or before that, i was like..why? lol. i was reading a book at that time, dont recall the name but i love the idea that anakin already had crushed lungs from heroic spaceship battle and was already depended on breathing machine when he was still on the light side. bc it fits old ben’s description of anakin being the best space pilot in the galaxy..or along that line i dont remember the exact quote. anyway other encounter i had with boba fett was in N64’s shadows of empire. even then i thought why was he so hard to beat? and im like oh yeah he cheats too because hes using his slave 1 to defeat me lol. the game was awesome though. 

     

     

     

     

    i think i watched like 2 new movies from disney+. that was about it. it didnt offer anything special compared to other streaming services. the ones that i did want to watch had like a schedule notice telling when itll be available but they were like months away to watch, so it was ridiculous. i could just rent it on amazon prime and get it over with. and i was already watching clone wars series on netflix at that time so all i was interested in were duck tales and tale spin but not enough to keep me interested in the long run so it had to go.


  4. it seems like its a trend now for star wars movies and series to bring back deceased characters, apart from force ghosts. i wasnt a big star wars fan to begin with but last jedi kinda took the movie magic out of me. gave a couple mandalorian episodes a try but ended up cancelling disney+ and dont regret it

    Spoiler

    my first impression still remains when i first watched it. he’ll always be the jar jar binx of original trilogy to me. so clumsy its painful

     


  5. ^ virtual hug sound so depressing :( but glad to hear you had fun with your family. 

    "Meanwhile her husband lost his sense of taste and was sick for only a day."

    the post office lady i mentioned in earlier post said she was sick for 2 weeks and she said she still couldnt taste anything either. so yeah i ate that turkey that customer brought and that evening i came down with the exact same sickness that i suffered a month prior. it also lasted only a day so hey what a coincidence O_o. 

    --------------------------

    this is really heartbreaking. theres a bar across the street from my workplace and its been closed for months. im not complaining bc my work is considered essential and im not suffering financially for now but like the lady said in the video, its practically samething like we both sell food and beer but ones still open and ones closed. we arent bombarded with strict covid restrictions like restaurants and bars have to deal with. we only need a few visible mask signs here and there and thats about it. even though i dont feel strongly about covid being that serious, it feels like these covid regulations are made up as you go like ones way too extreme while others are way too lenient. everyones like saying we should have all closed down everything for 2 weeks when ppl were panic buying and prepared to stay home when everyones literally scared for life earlier this year. now most ppl want their jobs back and becoming more bitter about another looming lockdowns. 

     


  6. happy thanksgiving everyone. had bbq on tuesday at my brother’s because i couldnt make it on thanskgiving bc of work. i tried to talk to my brother and his wife about the covid, and dangers of its vaccine, and how i think its just a flu but they didnt want to hear it..telling me i should really be careful and that its very serious bc im the one exposed the most. not that i disagree with the latter but THEN they kept asking me to hug and play with my nephew and my brother wanted to share a chocolate cake with me after the dinner and im like what if i have a covid? and hes like Nehh..LOL. that threw me off, completely opposite from what they told me and how they act around me so that was funny. so yeah when i thought i wouldnt have any turkey this year, one of customers brought us some turkey and side dishes today so it was great. i was little hesistant to eat at first bc his cousin died of covid like 2 months ago but i was hungry and it was delicious lol. only scare i had was last month when a post office lady bought some soda and told me she had just recovered from covid..and right next day i was sick so i was little worried but it only lasted a day so maybe it was just allegy related cold i normally get around this time of year when weather changes. i suppose covid cases would skyrocket now after today as media is already blaming everyone for traveling and seeing our family and friends for thanksgiving. oh dear..

  7. i went to my brother's house today and played ps5 little bit. he only has that new spiderman game for now so i lend him half of my ps4 games lol. he said the game crashed once, he just got it yesterday so that doesnt sound too comfy. he installed ghost of tsushima and it was pretty quick, i remember when i was installing it, it took awhile with my ps4. and i dont think there was any loading time now that i think about it. he kept asking me is it faster, does it look better? but idk i couldnt tell the difference, graphic or gameplay wise. its too early to tell from just a few ps5/4 games so yeah.


  8. Quote

    Taking money out of the bank for a national lockdown seems kind of stupid. How would he pay amazon with cash for all his deliveries? lmao. All the lockdowns we had before was everyone staying at home buying stuff online.

    idk i think it might be good to prepare bc no one knows how things will turn out. i have some cash in hand just incase emergency so i wouldnt do something that drastic though. but yea he said he was worried about banks being closed during a national lockdown bc ppl will panic and try to withdraw all their money out all at once and cause havoc. cant forget all that toilet paper fiasco that no one expected lol so its a plausible scenario. and online orders arent always reliable bc i remember watching news, during our 1st lockdown, that online grocery stores were overwhelmed with orders and having trouble delivering orders so you never know.

     


  9. my brother manage to order it XD trying like 6 - 8 different sites at the same time as soon as it started and the whole process took him about an hour. he said he had his card info ready and kept refreshing bc checkout pages continue to reject/disappear really fast. he thinks bots were spamming orders so it was really difficult but he had his luck with sony bc it requires psn id. he tried to order it for me too but he couldnt. its okay, im not in a hurry, but it wouldve been nice to try out. besides i retired my 10+ year old pc just last week and replaced it with a new one so i can wait longer


  10. https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2020/11/07/state-bar-passes-mandatory-covid-19-vaccination-recommendation/

    "The New York State Bar Association on Saturday passed a resolution urging the state to consider making it mandatory for ALL New Yorkers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination when a vaccine becomes available, even if people object to it for “religious, philosophical or personal reasons.”

    no way..its happening so fast. had a guy today rambling about getting his money out of bank incase a national lockdown. but what good would that do, paper money will be useless if govt decides to lock you up for refusing to take a vaccine. you already cant buy or sell without a mask on, so you really have no control over this. better luck getting guns and canned food instead while theres still time 0_o


  11. i honestly think those delays were an attempt to cheat. i dont even have to look. im sure whatever reason behind it was covid related bs issue. now that biden had clearly won, those efforts werent even necessary. it would be a waste of time to investigate and probably hard to prove but i think trump would pursue this until his stupid term ends.

    and i think national lockdown will happen under biden. he even said he would. raising  taxes on rich, pumping out endless stimulus checks to poor, thats his solution for economy recovery but with shutting down public places, businesses, and eliminating ppls jobs at the same time, theres just no way a country can function normally. dark times ahead imo


  12. here, our mandatory mask order ended in august and county judge ordered 2 more weeks of it. thats as far as emergency power she was suppose to have from the article i read. but here we are in november and we are still wearing masks and no one is questioning anything. and almost 100 ppl died from newly tested vaccine in s.korea recently. but news says its just a flu shot and covid simply complicated things. O_o wtf. since govt can just force masks on ppl, why not force these vaccines on ppl too? sounds farfetched now, but have you ever thought you would be wearing masks everywhere you go if you were asked this question last year? id probably die from something random before covid ever gets me. its more than frustrating bc its like no one has an answer for it but we are just to follow their orders or else.


  13. not to mention there are no real consequences when they get caught doing something illegal and held accountable. i dont pay attention to s.korean politics much but so far two recent presidents went to jail for corruption and one committed suicide. it may look bad on the outside and may damage korea’s reputation as a country but at least citizens have confidence in justice system that even the most powerful politicians are not invincible. thats something id like to see that happen in the US politics but yeah US politicians will never allow that and incriminate themselves lol. its nice to believe ppl have a choice between two parties but really makes no difference, even after the election most of them never bother to keep their campaign promises anyway. the process just seem pointless, spending hundreds of millions on their campaigns to begin with. what a waste

    ———————-

    i guess its good that i fell asleep and slept in. i woke up late and expected to see a winner but this may drag on for awhile


  14. trump will be close to 80 yrs old by next election O_o seriously if i were that rich, i would just retire early and enjoy life. i think they do this for the sake of their prestige/legacy..they dont give a shit about ppl. and yeah, its pretty pointless to vote here in texas as well. 


  15. i was thinking touch screen only lol. i was watching cbs news live and thats what they were showing me so i was curious. that voting sample is kinda confusing to me..having same candidates names in same column two or even three times. my county was trying drive thru voting and things went wrong i guess. dem and rep are suing each other for its legitimacy..big circus show going on over here.


  16. ^ what was the poll screen looked like? was it easy to use? it seems like poll booths dont even have those big curtains anymore. i asked customers if they voted today and most of them said no lol. i have a day off tomorrow so ill try to stay up to see who wins. wish i bought some snacks and beer for this j/k 😛


  17. i dont know what to think about this game. my brother told me about it a couple months ago. i think its released now and sold at $100. i mean its very innovative and cool looking, but im sure it has its limits. ppl are already complaining about hair getting stuck on a wheel or not running smoothly on a carpeted floor. im pretty sure its not pet friendly either lol. but gotta hand it to nintendo for trying something new..i hope to see more games like this in the future. i started to play switch games again so hopefully it gets better with their titles and game ideas


  18. “..Pluto tv apps also have free live tv channels.“

    well ill be..O_o i bought my mom tcl tv 2 years ago and now im noticing it offers free streaming services lol. roku for one (started to watch only a month ago) and i just noticed it has pluto tv as well bc u mentioned it. i just browsed through. i guess i didnt bother to look bc i thought i had to pay to watch. my samsung tv has tv plus with 150+ channels but only worth watching channels are nickolodean and a few others..not really worth it. i only play games with it so no biggie. have you heard of tubitv? it needs to be activated so i didnt bother with it last night but it has good reviews and its free. ill might get it later and see if its any good 


  19. no cable service since 2012ish. kept adding random channels and charge them without notice. i think it was road runner. horrible service.

    ondemandkorea is really good but you have to be a fan of kpop and kdramas/movies XD it offers a lot of variety shows, documantaries, and news channels and they are all free with ads. and i have apple tv 4k about 2 years now but i only use it to watch netflix, youtube, amazon prime etc. even though my new iphone offers 1 year free trial to watch apple original tvs and dramas but im not that interested. i havent really checked other features like games and stuff but its really easy to use with a remote so i like it.


  20. its nothing special that schools are reopened and ppl are having parties though. its only businesses that suffer bc of fines and restrictions that are placed on them. for the rest of ppl, they could careless. i know this bc a local news report about a party goer or two getting killed from drive by shootings with hundreds of attendees without any eyewitnesses and not bc of covid. its been like that even before the lockdown and almost everyweek it never fails something goes wrong during those dumbass parties like this recent one where two numbnuts fall from 4 story balcony while partying/drinking their asses off. and cops dont stop ppl from having parties even during lockdowns, at least not here anyway. and kids here have a choice to stay home and study online or go back to school for a couple months now and houston actually have been getting lowest covid cases since it started. also not too long ago texas gov tried to limit the voting booth per county (blaming it on covid but in reality he was trying to discourage poor ppl with commute difficulties from voting) so he had been criticized for trying to rig the election. 

    for the news exposure, i watch one of those one hour long nbc's dateline when i come from work. and the rest on youtube and yahoo articles. not everyday though, hells kitchen is free on roku tv so right now i been watching that lol. so when my coworker told me about a possible riot, a foreign news source thats mostly neutral, it was news to me that i havent heard of. if republicans are pissed off about the election result, they arent going after petty retail stores for cheap thrill of looting, theyll probably go after officials and govt properties so id be in less danger if i wanted to go shopping after the election day..i did all my shopping today just incase lol. and when i was writing that post last night about agenda, nbc's headline was like "88,000 new covid cases in ONE DAY in 25+ states!!" and showing empty hospital beds all over again, i was like alright thats enough news for today. whats contradicting with news and reality is that i have customers who are ailing (cancer and other diseases) and i ask them lots of times about hospital capicity when they mention about their health and their hospital visits and they are like, oh i didnt even wait that long, hospitals are usually empty..this was when houston was suppose to have high covid resurge. im not just going to blindly accept crap like, holy shit 100,000,000,000 ppl got covid and body bags everywhere (and insert images of italian covid patients..which they got caught and aplogized for)!!

    and what turned me off completely from biden is his last prez debat with trump. i mean he got obliterated when trump asked him to answer "who built the cages?" biden's answer was "we made a mistake." for crying out loud, 50 years of political career and 8 years in obama administration and that's his answer? then biden turns around and says he'll fix 4 years of trump's mishandling. im sorry but using biden's own logic, trump should get re-elected so he can fix his mistakes too, thats only fair. and bipartisan bickering will never go away unless you turn off from news completely. i only watch it to see whats going on, and most of time i tune out when two politicians argue about whos better at lying. if anyone but biden, id root for them so trump goes away too, but biden is a such weak candidate to begin with. at least i know what trump would do, even if its reckless. but biden? hell even obama tried to talk him out of it of uncertainty saying, biden, you dont have to do this." thats just big yikes.

    (edit)———————-

    “They've had early voting here for a while now but they've been swamped so I haven't voted yet. I have election day off so I'll go that morning.“

    ps im not saying who you should vote for, both of them can drop dead for all i care. i re-read my post and it kinda sounded that way. i didnt vote but i prefer trump to win over biden since theres not much left in biden imo. and i hope you dont have to wait long to vote on the election day. >_<


  21. so anyone voted? trump is dangerous but biden at 76 and he thinks he is running for the senate and hiding in a basement..err..no thanks to either one. my coworker was listening to spanish speaking news and told me it was warning ppl just incase biden loses, stock water and food bc there might be a riot and looting as a result they dont want. O_o as how BLM is still acting out, cant rule that scenario out i suppose. i like how covid all of sudden surges all over the place and several cities like philadelphia and el paso went on a lockdown less than a week before the election day. if thats not an agenda then i dont know what is.
