Remember, EM POC only!

I still don’t have power, so I spent a lot of time at this cafe that is open late just to ensure that I have a full battery. I stayed there until they closed.

As utterly fucking frustrating as this is, it seems as if Tuesday/tomorrow is the latest I can expect to have power. So many houses around me already seem to have it.

I might be able to actually sleep with ease again as my room won’t be disgustingly hot anymore. I could complain about it for ages, and I could get a lot more vulgar too, especially considering the whole fucked up context of the American government being more invested in putting in billions to fund fascist operations in Isn’trael and UKKKraine instead of providing relief to their own citizens that just endured the wrath of a very rough, cheek-clapping hurricane.

    I’ve been seeing this around too. My question is, literally what makes their tea more special than going to a shop and getting it fresh? It’s literally tea, why do they act like they’re inventing something new.

      its only because its canned and bottled its not even the first company to do it, they implied that all other boba tea has strange and unknown contents and theirs is safe because its bottled

      also they said “its not an ethnical product anymore” as a positive

          THEY GOT A MILLION DOLLARS FROM AN INDIAN WOMAN!!! oh but some good news is that the internet bullied her into taking the money back and she make some WIERD comments proving she missed the point and complaining that people say chai tea and naan bread, like it felt like she was trying to turn this around and make it an east asian vs south asian thing, when SHE was the one getting called out for being a sell out clown.

            You know what’s funny? I partially become more aware of this issue because a former coworker commented on the story, on LinkedIn nonetheless, saying something along the lines of free speech, first ammendment, and he eats at chipotle and is Mexican. A completely obtuse and reactionary response. But I guess every minority group has them so what can you do.
