I'm going to be spending most of December in Ho Chi Minh City. I'm so excited! Has anyone been there or is anyone from there? I need advice and recommendations for things to try and do. Should I rent a bike or will that be suicide for a foreigner?

Hello everyone

A homeless man died this night in my city. He died laying outside the central station, one of the busiest parts of the city with people passing by 24/7.

You can die, just like that. Cold, alone and yet surrounded by others.

I just got a job and I'll be starting next week. I'm so excited to have some savings 😭

I'm going to be without a functional computer for a little over a week, I'm afraid. It's ten times harder to work through my smartphone, so I've been sharing @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml's topics on Canada's profascist shenanigans to capitalismindecay as substitutes for my more elaborate threads.

It's a new week and I started off pretty shit. I don't really feel motivated to do something, came in late at work and had very little patience for our clients. It got better throughout the day but still.

Someone is giving me their binoculars so I can take my new bird watching hobby to the next level. I managed to spot wild parrots in the yards of our block last weekend and that was pretty wild as they aren't a native species.

I hope I can make something out off this week.

Curious to hear your take on the Romanian elections

Having an actual anti west candidate,in first place no less is the surprise of the century

Can I get a HELL YEAH for our Confederate Elders??

A ceasefire deal is in the works between the IOF and Hezbollah https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/netanyahu-approves-ceasefire-deal-with-lebanon--in-principle

I was gifted this book called 'Poverty explained to people with money' (translated from Dutch) which I guess is flattering if they think I have money lol

It's sort of interesting though so far it has an underlying tone of 'we must be aware of the poors so we can save them'

Seems like the drug war is heating up again in the city. Multiple grenade explosions in the past few days, a shooting in broad daylight close to a school the other day. A judge getting threatened. Some dudes threw some molotovs into a supermarket tonight. Never a dull moment over here.

Winter has finally showed up here, alarmingly late really, but god damn do I hate it. Doesn't matter how many years I've lived in this city winter is always worse than I remember. Already dying for it to be summer again.

I've been thinking about my social skills and I came to the conclusion I'm way too serious. I know how to have a serious conversation but I'm bad at having fun conversations since I don't know how to joke around and how to respond to jokes. Must be my autism.
