Hi, I’m Leafy and I’m a recovering reddit addict.

I’m upvoting you purely for describing Twitter as “Live Journal with a text limit”. That is exactly what it is and with infinitely less privacy or conversational value.

Oh, for that use case then Twitter is a bit different. Information on Twitter moves fast and you can get quick, bite-sized updates on a company or event (via tags) much quicker than most sites. The ease of sharing information made it very popular for things like announcing updates on website/app down times or catching up on election news for example.

I think that’s a little bit more difficult since most people want to trade. Sometimes someone will put their collection on google drive and share via links on tumblr or twitter, but those occasions are few and far in between.

Well, we’ll find out about other militaries soon enough. Stock prices for weapon’s manufacturers have been booming. The US and EU want a convenient weapon’s testing ground and a canal to gas fields out of this.

The biggest loser is always innocent civilians at home and abroad.

Diamond earrings from one. A purse in the shape of Luna from Sailor Moon from another.

I found HCMC very walkable and there were so many trees and parks that even the heat was bearable.

Completely agreed about the War Remnants Museum, it moved me to tears within minutes. I’m from Malaysia, one of the places where Agent Orange was first trialed before it was put to use as a weapon, so that particular exhibition hall was so personal since a family friend was born disabled because of it.

On a lighter note, there was a bánh mì chảo place within a 15 minutes walk from the War Remnants Museum that was so good I am still dreaming about it to this day.

I was in Ho Chi Minh a few weeks ago! It’s a beautiful and exciting place.

Divers by Joanna Newsom. I love the cyclical arrangement of her songs with the last line of her last song looping back to the first line of her first song. I think it really illustrates what she’s trying to say about the nature of love and time.

I finished Barrayar by Louis Mcmaster Bujold and had a really great time from start to finish. Gripping, funny, and just plain thought provoking, I can see why it won a Hugo award and Locus award.
