Two things I don't talk about on social media, politics and religion. I came here to escape reality, not to be reminded of it.
I came here to see and share pop culture stuffs that make me happy and forget how crappy and depressing real life is.
That being said, how do I block political posts? I keep seeing them on my feed even though I do not follow those pages.
When someone ask me to go Twitter and Tik Tok. 😆
Wait. People still use Snapchat? 😂
It is upsetting to see negative comments surrounding the death of Jason David Frank. Comments like “he’s selfish to leave behind his kids”, “he’s not strong enough like we think he is”, “I divorce my wife too but I didn’t kill myself” and so on. If you do not have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself.
Who are we to judge when we don’t even know what he feels and experiences in life which accumulated and finally pushed him off the edge. There is no brick for brick comparison, no two experiences are the same, similar yes, but never the same. There are many factors that are different.
This is why people commit suicide. They’re afraid of seeking help for fear of being judged and criticised. Is it so hard for us to be kind to one another instead of being angry and salty expecting others to “get over it”. If we could do it, so can they right? Wrong. Different people have different limit.
What is trifle to you is critical to others, and so on. Life hardships are supposed to make us more empathic and kinder, not the opposite. That’s what differentiate a hero and a villain. A hero helps others so they will not feel what they felt. A villain destroys others so they will feel what they felt.
Belittling other life sufferings and hardships, thinking that yours is far worse is already selfish. Not everything is about you. Not everyone going through the same as you. We all walk different paths in life with different people with different personalities and mentalities in our lives that shapes our life journey.
Mental health is real. Depression is having suicidal thoughts in your darkest hour when you feel like there’s nowhere to run, you feel alone in the world despite being surrounded by many people, you look happy and appear funny on the outside when you’re actually crying and broken in the inside.
He seems to be loving and enjoying spending his time entertaining his fans. Maybe that is the only thing that make him feel really happy and alive. Seeing the grateful fans appreciating his efforts in being an impactful actor and thanking him for making their childhood a memorable one, supporting him.
Kindness starts with you. Be nice. Be helpful. Stop judging. Stop hating. It doesn’t cost you a thing. In fact, it will make you feel better. That’s what Jason David Frank’s character of Tommy Oliver in Power Rangers stood for. A character that inspires many across the world to be better.
Chancellor Korin came under attack by his people who sees him as a traitor that “sells” his country and people to the foreign Union for his own benefits while populist figure Telaya voices the displeasures and discontents of her people who feels that Korin is prioritising the distant planets over his own.
Several videos have gone viral dividing the planet into two which depicts Korin as a ruthless leader who is willing to oppress his own people to please the Union and another which depicts Telaya as a radical extremist who wants to wage war on the Union.
When in reality, Korin only wants to secure peace and security against a common enemy, the Kaylons and Telaya only wants to remain neutral as an independent nation that does not follow the will of others like the Union and get dragged into their wars with others.
With advanced technology of social media and video editing tools, it is easy to manipulate real events into something different entirely. Problem is knowing which is true and which is fake. Mainstream media tells you one thing and social media tells you other thing.
Mainstream media share videos for their own political agendas and social media share videos for likes.
So which source can you trust?
There’s a difference between knowing that you are good and telling everyone that you are good.
In the age of social media, it’s easy to feel insecure and doubt yourself. You don’t need validation from others.

Me : Hm. Yeah. I kind of like this show. The story’s good, the plot is interesting and the character’s chemistry are amazing. Le Hater : WRONG! IT’S DIGUSTING! HOW CAN YOU LIKE THIS SHOW IT’S SO FUCKING TERRIBLE THAT I VOMIT A FROG OUT OF MY MOUTH!
Me : Uh, I think it’s quite decent. I mean it’s not great but it’s not terrible either. It’s still enjoyable but there’s still tons of potentials to explore. Le Hater: FUCK YOU OP! THIS SHOW IS INCREDIBLE! I LOVE THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH THAT I COUD MAKE LOVE TO THEM ALL NIGHT!
Me : The show’s good but like every franchise I guess nothing can really beat the original. Le Hater: NO! YOU DON’T GET IT AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING! THIS SHOW IS AWESOME. THE ORIGINAL CAN FUCK ITSELF!
Me :
I understand that everyone has their own opinion, including myself. What I do not understand is, is it so hard to just scroll past a post that you don’t like?
I’ve seen posts that I disagreed on several times but I just scroll past them.
What’s funny is none of the “haters” took the time to explain why they hate it but jump right to the insults. But being an Asian, I guess I’m pretty much used to it.
It’s fine that you do not like what I wrote in my post but do you really have to resort to vulgarities and insults instead of listing your valid points?
Well, thank you attending my TED Talk to see me ranting. I don’t usually rant on social media but there’s always a first to everything.
I shall end my ranting with a funny clip of ProZD summing up what it’s like to argue online. 😂
The Orville crew encounters a planet similar to Earth in many aspects, with the exception that there is no law, judge, jury or lawyer.
The society is governed by Majority Rule whereby the citizen’s voices and opinions dictates whether someone is guilty or not.
Alleged “wrongdoers” are arrested based on numbers of “upvotes” and “downvotes” that they had received from the public.
The “wrongdoers” are brought into a public forum for final judgement by the citizens before they are sent for “corrective” punishment.
Influencers be like : You'll never get your dream body by sitting on your ass.
Easy to say for someone who hava plenty of free time and money with no work stress.
If you truly want to impress me, find someone like a Doctor, Engineer or Accountant who juggles work commitments, family responsibilities and working out achieving a dream body. Not influencers and yoga fitness instructors who is already working out full time. It's like an Engineer saying he's great in fixing things.
Twitter is where most people post about things that probably didn't even happen to them irl, just to be cool.
Instagram is where most people post about their lifestyle that probably is not even true irl, just to appear hip.
LinkedIn is where most people post about their career to make their work sound more important than it really is.
Facebook is where most people post about their family life to make it sound like they're more mature than singles.
Tumblr is where most people gather in unison over a shared interest and passion over pop culture fandoms.
I guess this is why I spent 95% of my free time here and 5% on the other 4 social media platforms I mentioned.
I'm more happier here. You guys rock! 🤘
Go facebook to see others humble bragging their blessful marriage lives.
Go instagram to see others flaunting their traveling and sporty lifestyles.
Go linkedin to see others boasting about their career achievements.
Go twitter to see others showing off how smart they are with their thoughts.
And you wonder why our generation suffers from anxiety and depression. If you're not careful, you'll inadvertently compare too much of your life with others making you question your own self worth and value.
Don't fall into this trap!
Everyone's walking a different path in life. Focus on your path alone instead of others or you'll end up crashing at the side of the path you're on.
