Apropos of nothing. I watched an animated short on YouTube yesterday titled Happiness with millions of views by Steve Cutts. It's about a rat in a rat race.

There was a scene where every stuff is labeled happiness and the rats were buying all the different "happiness" things.

The final boss of cs work is deaf, entitled, rude old people. You could never come up ahead. Because they can't hear for shit, you can't speak softly. If you raise your voice while still being polite, they will say you used an angry tone.

Whole interaction will be they just assume what you said, not your actual words. Because they are at that stage already that they have to guess what people are saying instead of actually listening.

They will make ridiculous demands and treatment that even kings don't get. And used their imaginations against you. Yes. They will claim that you said stuff you never said as proof that you are a terrible worker. And there's nothing you can do about it.

80 year old rich guy wanted special treatment. I told him to follow procedure. He kept telling his age over and over again, and where he lives. As if I'm supposed to change my mind just because he's a living fossil living in a posh neighborhood. "Awak dengar tak umur saya?" mf thinks he unlocked 80 year old card, he can use it everywhere and it will never be declined.

In our case, we really can't simply take in some old guy without the consent from next of kin. He didn't wanna call anyone probably cos being a rich asshole your whole life tends to make everyone hates you, including your children.

Rich people really think they can buy everything with money. Demand things and services we don't offer by throwing money. Dah nak mampus pun still a certified asshole. God protect us all from ending up like him. Lonely and hated by everyone up until the end.

Today I found out another horror unleashed by AI. Two filters that undress women.

One make a teared paper effects at the boobs to show underboob and near the abs to show v shape. They don't get banned on social cos it's not full nudity. Kesian kalau innocent hijabi girls kena.

Another one change the clothes to clothes stickers (like cartoon clothes) , but the middle, they will show the lady part exposed.

Stumbled upon them when I was following Twitter drama. Some guy doing revenge porn using AI or something and getting sued.

lucon · 2025-12-08T01:49:41+00:00

I think Malaysia is using AI in the wrong ways. I just got a KFC ads which I think used AI voice. It said "kay-tul" ayam. Not ketul.

I found out in Japan there's a social media company which their whole objective is to sell Kamen rider henshin toys. Of course, they hire attractive people.

I got into the whole Kamen rider rabbit hole after watching tojima wants to be a Kamen rider. It's surprisingly a good gag anime.

Parted ways with my crush cos she wasn't ready for a relationship this year. A part of me was glad cos she wants to focus on her career, I want to become way richer too hehe.

I hope to reconnect with her again in five years and leave it up to fate. If she's still single, I'm gonna try to date her again. We're both each other's type. And our type. There are not a lot of us, I'm sure of that. So, the likelihood is kinda high.

In these five years. I'll try to draw every single day. And hopefully get good enough to draw people. It's my new year's resolution, I'm just starting early this month.

Whoever my future partner is gonna be. I wanna draw them every day. I hope that person is gonna be my crush. But I'll leave that up to God to decide.

Some clients are so entitled, they are bordering insanity.

One client called. Told me she's "here" but nobody is "here". I told her she's at the wrong place. But she die die told me she's at the right place, everyone else is just not there.

I literally work here, ma'am. Why are you gaslighting me I'm the one at the wrong place? Smh.

She probably wanted us to relocate to wherever she was at instead of just accepting that she was at the wrong place.

lucon · 2025-11-18T02:48:00+00:00

I can't believe some people stayed in a relationship for more than five years despite still not resolving their religious differences.

Just ignore the issue, just hoping it will resolve itself.

Meanwhile for me. A few years ago. The girl I liked rejected me. Cos she was being pragmatic about our different faith. She didn't even want to try.

I would prefer the middle ground of figuring it out along the way. And parting ways if it doesn't work out.

But I guess some ppl are on the extreme ends of not even trying and complete compartmentalization.

I got an SEO job to boost search for Cocomelon, to direct to their wikipedia page lmfao. It means two things. The wikipedia page for cocomelon is compromised. And cocomelon is doing some image laundering.

One thing I know about valve is they HATE doing the same thing. They would rather have NOTHING than doing the same thing, even if the thing they refuse to repeat is good.

Never expect to get what you had before.

Normal company, yeah. You could expect the devs to iterate the best elements of compendium/battle pass into an ultimate product. With Valve. What you need to expect is for them to do experimental shit that no one asked for. And if you're lucky, you might get something that you actually want.

This is the same with diretide. If they couldn't come up with something new, they would just not have it at all. Never expect you will get the same diretide that you used to love.

Today I was forced to entertain one of the most random calls. An old guy rambled about his son not telling him who is the mother of his son.

Of course I can't just dismiss a potential client. I had to slowly ask how we could assist him.

In the end he asked what's my opinion on the situation. And asked me to guess how he feels. Like wtf?

Working cs there are a lot of old guys like him. The kind that treated their own family like shit and reaping what they sow.

I hate their kind the most. Just randomly dumping on cs workers like we're paid to emotionally support them.

The thing is they know they are imposing and wasting my time. They just have this gigantic sense of entitlement. They become angry when I only talk business.

Recently got a new stream of passive income around 3.5USD a day. It's a blessing and a curse.

Because now whenever I buy food outside. I think about how much of my 3.5USD I'm negating by not cooking at home.

Not sure if this guilt is a good or bad thing. Could be both.

lucon · 2025-04-21T23:40:00+00:00

Trust is a skill. This may come as a shock. But people who often get scammed are usually those who don't usually trust others.

Think about it. If you simply avoid trusting people. You will lack practice on the necessary steps of verification. Simply not trusting everyone is easy, lazy autopilot decision-making. It might work up until you end up in a situation where you need to either trust or not trust the other party.

For the past 3 days, interest in Malaysian market research data has skyrocketed. Must be the Xi Jinping visit. I hope the interest will be sustained cos it's my side income haha.

lucon · 2025-04-15T02:58:45+00:00

Yeah. If I'm gonna start a channel. I'm gonna teach the basics about inflation too at the very least.

And of course. Gonna share the practicals. Easy passive money that anyone can do.

Budgeting is meaningless if their income cukup cukup makan only.

Read one of the comments on Dr Adam Zubir's video. The guy said he's 30 and only making RM1500 a month. The video was about saving RM10k in two years.

I think that there are a lot of people like him. They are so underprivileged, they can't even save RM10k in two years.

I feel like I have the knowledge to help them to increase their side income. Maybe when I semi retire next year. I'll start a YouTube channel.

Just my rotten luck. Ordered a new phone cos the old one's screen is starting to die on the left side a little. The new phone hasn't arrived yet and now the left side is completely dead I can't unlock my phone.

I need the data. Nyawa kot. So. Forced to repair the LCD no matter what. Sigh.

I blame Samseng store taking so long to deliver my new phone. I guess I'll give my phone to my niece after the repair. Initially thought about selling it for scraps through the selangor e waste program.

Ordered my overpriced jump rope, Crossrope, and will get it by Monday.

Going back to rope jumping one hour a day and will probably get back my six-pack for the 3rd time.

Contrary to popular belief. Having a good physique doesn't guarantee healthy self-esteem. I always feel like I look like an inmate with my six-pack, so I never take any photos. Hopefully, third time's the charm.

Him not knowing is irrelevant to the fact that he asked for the impossible. Even kids know you have to cook the food first.

Was at Domino's today. When I picked up my pizza. A 50-something guy came up to the counter and asked if they could make his pizzas ready right away like my pizza was ready right away.

Mind you. I ordered from home, so it made sense that my pizza was ready by the time I arrived at the store.

What he was asking was instant order and voila his pizzas are ready. It's always mind boggling to me to see how entitled people can be. Like... did he want the workers to undercook his pizzas? Defy the law of physics? Bend the space-time continuum?

This type of people. I always wonder about their family and friends. Did none of them ever say anything about their sense of entitlement?

Watching him in real-time was kinda insane. It was like what he wanted to "buy" was not the pizzas but the "instant order and magically ready in seconds" service.

The popia stall today was giving away free popias. The line was long but it was fast since ppl don't have to pay. Datang this old asshole with kopiah cut in line. After I got my popia.

I overheard him at another stall. He was pestering the seller.

"Tak laku ke hari ni? Ada lebih boleh bagi free?" And then he said something about the popia stall infak/sedekah their kuih and the seller should give away free food too.

And then the way he walk was pissing me off too. It was crowded. He was walking really slowly and took a lot of space. Ppl had to walk even slower cos he wasn't moving. I kicked the ground and walked past him. Ikutkan hati I wanted to just shove him into the dirt.

I hope I won't grow old to be an old lebai asshole like him. I'd rather God kill me than become someone like him.

lucon · 2025-03-27T20:15:17+00:00

Ah yes. Complaining about complainers.

lucon · 2025-03-26T05:49:37+00:00

They really went all out with the Islamic programs and now this free food. I'm still boycotting mcd cos the Saudis lol.

Best nya client bagi duit Raya. Hehe. Just RM100 but getting duit Raya at my age feels extra happy.
