First stop of #Walmart Associates Week — #TopGolf! Haven’t held a golf club in decades. Taking a picture of my no.2 spot before I’m pushed down 😝 #WMT2022 @Walmarttech

When I say, "It's the least I can do," am I humble-bragging? I mean, doing nothing is literally the least I can do, so I'm really saying I could've done less, but I do more because I'm nice. Maybe I should be honest and say, "It's the most I want to do."

Can someone explain to me why Black Panther is considered one of the best movies ever (97% RT)? I really want to know. From my point of view: 1-dimensional characters, generic plot, and ambiguous motivations. Maybe I'm a racist and a male chauvinist and I don't even know it..

If "money" is the greatest story ever told, then "build your credit with a credit card" has to be to greatest myth propagated. If I had a dollar every time someone told me it's good to have a credit card debt.. Honestly they should teach this stuff in school.

Day after I was educated by my esteemed social media friends on GDPR, a subscribed podcast had a detailed discussion on what internet marketers should do about it. Funny how life occasionally works out in the tiniest bit. So how do I set up a proxy to look like I'm from the EU?

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

@pixelRyan I think EU always were ahead on this front. Only if privacy protection were part of the constitution. We would protect it like we protect our gun rights.

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

I thought Congress couldn't do anything about Facebook. But the last few weeks I got many notices about companies revising privacy policies. Are they covering their own behinds? Or hoping to get grilled by the clueless politicians too and get a stock boost?

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

Oh. Honestly didn’t know Japanese constantly tear down and rebuild their buildings. No wonder I was so impressed by how well maintained the buildings were when I visited; thought they were more careful than rest of world. And no wonder they can’t get out of their economic slump.

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

@IanMMcC So basically doesn’t stop Facebook selling user data as usual?

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

@IanMMcC So only applicable to those who live in EU?

Question for native English speakers: is it grammatically correct to say "I do do..." As in, "I don't Facebook, but I do do Twitter." Noticing more and more people using it, and kinda irks me. Almost up there with "the reason why... is because..."

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

Everyone heard of 10x programmers. I'm that 1x programmer who makes them look good. Think about it, they only exist because I do. Reminds me, all the companies I've encountered in my life claim to be "industry leaders." I wonder who are the "industry followers?"

Ha, never knew LaTeX was not pronounced latex, like the condom. And is this where they get the idea of CSS? Learned something new.

Does anyone still use Virtual Console? https://t.co/QOgJtfBAsi

[Mecha Denjin @animeretrogame1]

Want to know which Virtual Console games are on Wii, Wii U, and/or 3DS? Now presented in beautifully... plain table format! I suggest first dust off that Wii U and play some highly pixelated GBA games on your 60" screen. https://t.co/4eema9fVna

Now that China is taxing the pork variety cuts from the US, can the pig farmers PLEASE flood the domestic market with those? I’d like to get some pig knuckles and stomachs on the cheap.

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

Finally applied programming skills on important stuff. Can’t buy Wii Points after this month, so let’s make March a Wii retrogaming month! https://t.co/UJAxJ8E04F

[Randy Hsiao @rhsiao]

Hmm, so many infomercials disguise themselves as podcasts. Amazed how many people equate sales pitch with delivering value.

Is Google silently protesting against our president by not doing a President’s Day doodle?
