@chiffonorange: oh i see, i didn't know about racial tensions there
but that makes sense, i can see how it gets complex with religion too
it's mostly muslim is that right?

ohh is there a set date for when it's considered over or anything like that?
the protests here have been a really big deal, the pandemic feels like an episode from last season on a show or something
do you have to go into work often?
i hope you can find some alone time ~

@xvz: Yeah, although there are non-muslims living in Malaysia besides muslims and I don't think there are any protests here since most of them didn't want to risk of getting caught by the police if they did that and yeah, it does feels like a year ago lol

Only on weekdays, and thank you, I would say the same to you, xvz ^^

@Totalanimefan: Same *nods*, but unfortunately there are some people who just refuse to think those kinds of things exist even in modern day era or didn't want to treat others as normal people. :I

@totalanimefan: lol nw, i can be slow at replying so it doesn't bother me at all

cool @ hsr! i didn't know there was stuff underway, that's really exciting ^^
i would love a high speed rail system for around the country, that would be really amazing

and yeah - it's really unfortunate but the mta is pretty underfunded i think
no pressure at all to watch this lol but nyt did a pretty good video on how the mta trains have been slowly getting defunded / profits get put into funding other stuff instead of reinvested
and i agree i feel like a shift towards accessible + clean (environmentally but i guess maybe also hygienically?) public transit will be necessary w climate change, fingers crossed - though i wonder how/if more rural areas would welcome it

@chiffonorange: i see, and oh no
is there anything you're feeling optimistic about for the rest of the year?
is your workplace/office crowded? i hope you can stay safe back at work ~

@xvz: Ah... well that's a hard one. The only thing I wished for is to go pass through year 2020 to 2021 Dx

Fortunately my workplace isn't crowded since I'm the only employee working there and its cons outweighs the pros though. :x and I regret working there tbh. And thank you.

@xvz: Yep and no worries, you don't have to apologise ^_^; The only thing I could've wished for is to find a different job (probably next year), at least in next year as I doubt most people are willing leave their job for vacancy this year

@xvz: Mmhmm. *nods*

Sure, well the only thing I don't like about it is how my boss keeps micromanaging me as I don't really like the idea of having little to no privacy. And the job I would rather have is storekeeper (as in checking or/and packing stored goods)

**** (> ^ w ^ <) ****

@xvz: Yeah, definately the worst *nods* And if only he could listen to me that I wanted privacy lol then again I doubt he cares *shrugs*

Hmm.... It's quite a long story but maybe I find it okay as I don't have to interact with customers and doing all of the paperwork or invoicing in general lol, ofc I have to pick up the phone but it's mostly other employees calling just to tell the item they wanted. And I can just do it at my own pace without rushing.

And if you don't mind me changing the subject but what's your opinion on social media? No worries if you don't answer, I understand

@dragoness129: aww ty, i haven't seen it in the exchange lately but hopefully there will be more in a month or so!

@chiffonorange: haha you are such an early riser!

that's too bad about your boss though :-( i hate not having privacy at work, it would stress me out
and that's true - it seems a bit more laid back
do you have to interact w a lot of customers currently?

hmm there is a lot i can say about social media haha
i think it can be good and it can also be bad, and i think companies/platforms do have a responsibility to make social media have a positive influence on society + to be ethical
i think social media can be good for communities, staying connected, grassroots/independent orgs or media, but can be bad for mental health (depending on how it's designed/used) w/o boundaries

@totalanimefan: i like ur new avi ^^ what's your sparkly head item?

yeah i've definitely waited 20+ minutes for a train late at night, the l can be notoriously bad - well now i'm not sure, i haven't taken the subway in months :-( and will probably keep avoiding for a while ...

and oh i see - it reminded me of this image:

although i think that one may be fictional?? but great to think about what reimagining transit will look like for the future

how has your week been?

@xvz: Yeah, not only it would make me stressed but also very nervous/anxious or making myself look like I'm being rushed and I don't think I interact with any customer that often :o

Hmmm... True *nods*, it has its pros and cons as you've listed out. Sometimes social media can be a good thing but other times it's not. :o

@totalanimefan: hmm in the Before Times honestly not that bad lol
typically <=10 minutes, but it depends on where you are. sometimes can be pretty short, <3-5 min, if there are multiple lines going to the stop you want
i think the l specifically was messed up from hurricane sandy and hadn't really recovered yet , so a lot of nights / weekends would have bad service
one silver lining is hopefully w reduced ridership they can make a lot of fixes during this time

it's too bad it's not real, but seeing it definitely helped me think about what the possibilities could be! and yeah i wonder how much environment savings we could get if we had trains as an alternative to domestic air travel

and yeah - i'm nervous how the protests will affect cases too. i think reopening for me would mean being even more cautious. i will probably continue to stay inside for a while :-/ i've been ok i guess, i've missed seeing my friends quite a bit
