micro

My cousin appeared on a Indian youtube channel to give financial advice and talk about his investments. The host was shocked at how well rounded my cousin is at 25, and how much he has already invested in the market, and how’s now living off passive income as he plans his next move and all. Very inspiring.

Except, the whole thing is a sham. Turns out the investment advisor is a youtube content creator who had promised a couple of videos to his sponsor, and he had absolutely nothing or nobody to talk to. So he asked my cousin to appear on his show as this young investment whizkid, and for better story telling made him unemployed and living off passive income. Next time you watch a youtube video talking investment advice keep in mind that what you see and hear could be completely BS. And yes, please dont take investment advice from Youtube to begin with.

Congratulations ISRO on the moon landing!! Keep shining forever!

Best of luck ISRO, and I am cheering along with millions of other people [for Chandrayan-3 landing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLA_64yz8Ss)! ISRO has truly been a gift to India and the scientists deserve all the success they get. Hope they pull it off!

One of the things I really like about micro.blog is I have no idea who follows me. I wish that they got rid of *Following X users you aren’t following* too from someone’s profile. On Micro I *dont* need to follow a ton of people; I can follow just a few people and because their conversations show up on my TL, I can hop in and out of those conversations without feeling the need/urge to follow the second degree connection. I love it because it mimics real life of dropping into a conversation (but you don’t feel the urge to go stalking after!). By removing away even *Following X….* it would be even more nicer because I truly wouldn’t even care who my connection follow. Now I still sometimes have that urge to do so.

Pissed off someone who said Barbie is too feminist and that’s why he didn’t like the movie by saying it’s his own insecurities projecting. AITA?

Human beings were not meant to be up by 6:30 or before 7, but here we are.

50s in the morning already ughhh. Summer just hold on another 3 months!

I keep hoping week after week after week that somehow *Foundation* will turn it on and it just feels like a such drab show all together. At this point I am only following it coz its based on Asimov’s novels, but if they removed that credit I’d probably stop seeing this. So much promise in the show and it just feels exhausting to sit through it.

Some trees in my yard are already turning yellow. Oh hello, we are still very much in summer! Please control the excitement for fall.

Have a colonoscopy scheduled this Friday and the prep work for it is already stressing me out! Not looking forward to liquid diet and a day of “cleansing”.
