Q:

Do you like having gym equipment inside your home?

Anonymous

I do! I have the Bowflex 552 dumbbells that I bought on Facebook marketplace for more than retail…, a yoga mat, foam roller, a stretchy band thing, ankle/wrist weights.

I really want a Tonal gym thing for my future home.

Q:

Do you think it's still worth it to live in the city considering covid?

It really depends on your interests. Maybe it’s the gay life a city has that attracts you. Maybe it’s the music festivals or beaches that attracts you. Maybe your partner moved to a city and your moving because of they.

I would love to live at Honolulu for a bit and just work from the beach - though I need an outlet at the beach and a sand proof laptop.

Q:

What do you think about microsoft laptops and tablets?

Anonymous

I like the Surface line of laptops. But I do think you need to spend the $1,700 range to get a decent laptop that will last longer than 3 years so you can get the extra RAM.

But if you’re looking for a lower price laptop with higher performance, take a look at Lenovo.

Q:

What do you like most about Youtube? What can be improved?

I like that on YouTube, you can find a video on almost anything PG rated. So home repairs and etc are on YouTube and they’re quite educational.

I also love watching people’s vlogs about their lives and their dogs.

Classy and Trashy

A few Sundays ago, I parked in front of Cartier, a fancy expensive luxury jewelry shop, on Grant Street in my Tesla. (This area of Grant Street has many luxury stores.) The door man of Cartier even told me my parking spot number so I could pay at the central parking meter. I was standing at the parking meter with my Louis Vuitton wallet and a San Francisco parking meter card. But I wasn’t on Grant Street to visit Cartier; I was was on Grant Street to visit a Nespresso boutique. I ended up buying a pair of lungo size glass cups for $40 and some Nespresso $5.50 coffee - the one that a barista makes - not the capsules that Nespresso manufactures. 

My boyfriend and I went back to my car and sat there for a little bit to actually have a safer space to drink our coffee without feeling we’re invading people’s covid safe bubbles. 

We then left the car and walked over to McDonald’s. We got some McDonald’s and went back to my car. When we were near our car, the Cartier door man said “Where is mine?”

I felt fancy and cheap at the same time. 

Q:

Do you like Tiktok? How do you feel about it?

Anonymous

I’m not on Tiktok. 

I agree Tiktok is a privacy concern. But I don’t think changing ownership to companies like Microsoft or Oracel would really mean much in terms of your privacy. For example a lot of Microsoft products works in China - Bing, Skype, LinkedIn, Teams. Microsoft will still probably turn your information over to the Chinese Communist Party. But Microsoft is a little better because the company operates (or at least pretends) with some rules of law. But does that stop one from using Microsoft services? No.
