[2025-03-01] things just keep getting worse [chdAW4XVa-k]

Testing.

Testing.

Okay, so I got bad news and, uh, no good

news, unfortunately.

Wait, I'm just— my Amazon delivery is

nearly here.

It's a secret.

No, I didn't get fired. It's just that I

didn't have work today. He said everyone's

getting the day off today.

I hope it's just for this week. Because

having 2 days off is so boring. I've just

been so bored today. I didn't do anything.

I've just been trying to study how to make

crispy pork belly. I think I've prepared

it. It's just that I don't have vinegar.

You're supposed to rub vinegar on the skin

to dry it out, but I didn't have any, so I

just rubbed salt. Is there not enough

packages to deliver? I don't know. It's

like they're changing the system or

He explained it to the group, but I kind

of park far away, so I don't stand with

the group. So I wasn't listening.

I think I don't really understand what he

said, to be honest. Something about the

depot becoming a 48-hour depot.

I don't know what that means.

My mum said she and my sister are planning

to come visit me for

my birthday.

Yeah, that could be nice.

Apparently there's a new girl starting

next week as well.

Don't know if that's good or bad. Won't

that mean less parcels for me? But they're

gonna give her a route that I'm not doing

anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. She

might be cute. Well, I don't know, she

might be a woman, not a girl.

Yeah, I do feel kind of bored and I feel

like I miss working when I have to stay at

home. I thought about doing Uber Eats,

but I couldn't be bothered. Every time

I've done Uber Eats, I made like £10.

And then I'd have to charge my car, it

would cost £5 for a 50% charge. It's just

not worth it. Just stay at home, try not

to spend money, relax.

It's the best I can do really.

I went out into the garden a bit because

it was quite warm. It's just such an ugly

garden, it's just all gray and stones. I

thought maybe I can get, get some turf,

grass turf, and then just roll it out and

then it will sort itself out and like grow

into the rocks.

Why don't I go back home? Because I've got

a good job and I've already agreed

to 6 months on this tenancy agreement,

and I've already bought all this stuff,

so might as well use it.

I'd much rather do this job than go home

and do Uber Eats.

Has Sunny officially ended it? Not really,

but it seems like it's— that's

what she wants because she hasn't messaged

me since Monday. And she said, I'll drop

your laundry off later in the week. Uh,

there's only one day left in the week, so

if it's not gonna be tomorrow, then when

am I getting my laundry back?

She'd probably be like, if you can't be

bothered to come pick me up when it's

raining, why should I be bothered to drop

off your laundry?

So I haven't spoken to her.

Bit annoying because she's got my favorite

black trousers that I really like.

They're not too tight. They've got the

string and the zips on the pocket. Black,

nice, uh, light material, not too baggy.

Fits me perfectly. Those are my favorite.

I don't remember where I bought them.

Might have been off Amazon.

Ask if I can swing by and get it. Then

she'll be like, oh, you couldn't be

bothered to come pick me up, but you're

happy to come and pick up your laundry.

God, this Amazon driver is so slow.

He said 8 stops away an hour ago and now

it's just 2 stops away.

What did I order? I just got this phone

case for my S10+ that has magnets on it so

I can stick it to my car holder.

Mm, I don't know, it depends if I use the

Samsung for my job instead of my iPhone.

I've kind of been using the iPhone again

and it's fine, to be honest.

Was I able to optimize delivery routes?

Yeah, you can enter the start location and

the end location. So I just enter the

start location, the furthest one away from

my house, and then the end location would

be my house. And I feel like that's

mentally a lot better because then

it feels like I'm leaving the village as

I'm doing my last 10 parcels and I'm like,

oh, get me out of here. Let's get out of

this dump. I don't like,

like doing 10, 15 parcels as I enter the

I nearly bought the iPhone 16 again. I

ordered it and then I cancelled it because

I was so bored today. I thought, God,

tomorrow I'm going to be so bored again.

Just give me something to play with.

But the iPhone 16e is pretty boring

anyway. What's it even got?

I had the iPhone 15 last— no, 2 years ago,

and it was really boring.

What happened to video games?

Yeah, I just have no interest really.

It's the idea of playing Rainbow Six.

If I was at home, yeah, I'd put Rainbow

Six on and then I'd put a YouTube video on

my second screen and then just kill some

hours. But now I'm, I'm just, I don't

know, trying to think what am

I going to do with my stupid life now that

this plan didn't really work out.

What do I do now?

So, um, I got bad news. My mum sent me a

message saying I got a letter from the

police. You know when I got pulled over by

the police back in November? I thought

they forgot about it. Even Sunny said,

oh, they must have just thrown it out

because it's silly. Nope. So I

got a £100 fine and 3 points on my

license, which is really annoying.

My mum paid the fine for me and she sent

me £500, so I don't really care about the

£100. It's the points that are upsetting

because, you know, 12 points and then you

lose your license.

So my mum paid— she just sent me £500 and

I paid the fine using my Amazon credit

card. So I don't know if I get, uh, half a

percent cashback. So I put the other £400

into the credit card.

Who's that?

Oh, that's the Amazon thing.

God, I get scared every time my phone

makes a noise now.

Yeah, he's about to enter my courtyard.

Prepare for a knock. He should be able to

put it in the letterbox. Can't be bothered

to get up. It's just a phone case.

Points last 3 years? Yeah, according to

AI, they last 4 years on your record, but

they only count for 3

years. I don't really get that. So they

only, they only count as points that can

lead to disqualification for 3 years. And

then after 3 years, they basically mean

nothing, but they're still on the record

for one other year. So I don't know, I'm

gonna just go off to Thailand for 2 years,

come back, And then it's expired,

basically. So what, did I get the points

as soon as I got pulled over? Because that

means the points started when? November

last year. That means it's only 8 more

months until the first year, and I just

spend 2 years somewhere else not driving.

Although I just don't think I would get

pulled over again if I'm driving here.

'Cause the driving is really easy here.

Driving is really hard in Kent,

especially around Chatham, Gillingham,

Rochester. So many bus lanes and lanes,

weird 6 lanes where the middle 3 lanes

are controlled by a separate traffic light

to the lanes on the left and the right.

It's weird. Driving here

is so easy and I don't see any police.

The great thing about Devon is there's

hardly any police anywhere until you go

into the city. I never see any police

driving around the country lanes. And what

are they going to pull you over for?

There's nothing you can really do unless

you're like doing 80. There's no lanes

here.

So I wouldn't want to drive if I go back

to Kent. Because the risk of even going to

the McDonald's in Maidstone, you've got to

go on the motorway and then you've got to

go around a roundabout and it's fucking

hell. And then there's all these

ambulances and police cars with the blue

lights on. You get out of the way. I think

he's outside my door.

Oh, there's his van.

Also, the Amazon delivery drivers here

don't drive the big Amazon Prime vans.

They always come in their own van, like a

white van. It's kind

of weird. I've never seen an Amazon Prime

van here. He's probably going to struggle

finding the house cuz I don't

have a big number.

There's also no phone signal here, so I

don't know how he does his Amazon app

thing. He's just

got his hazards on. Well, unless he's

delivering other parcels to the other

houses first.

Go outside and wait for him.

He should be able to find the house.

I don't see him, I just see the van.

Oh, there he is.

What's he doing? No, he's going

to the wrong house,

but he's looking around.

Yeah, maybe I should go and help.

Hello. Hello there. Got that eventually.

Thank you. Thank you. Bye.

It's funny because I do that for my job

and I also hate it when I can't find the

house because there's no numbers. I think

there's a little number on my door, but

you have to come right up close to it.

Is that it?

It's supposed to be MagSafe for the S10

Hmm, it doesn't look like the picture.

Are you sure it's MagSafe? Oh yeah,

it is. Yeah, the battery bank

sticks right on it.

Don't know what charging speed the S10

Plus has. Look at this phone,

finally it gets a case after it's been

cracked all over.

Ah, oh look, it's got a little case now.

Looks quite nice.

S10 Plus, number one phone.

Yeah, then I can put the battery bank on.

Oh, wireless charging.

Fuck. Oh wait,

wireless charging.

Yeah, yeah,

wireless charging working.

Fast wireless charging. Oh,

why is it making a noise? Listen,

can you hear that?

That doesn't sound good.

Does it do that on the iPhone?

It does do it a little bit, but it seems

louder on the Samsung. Look at that,

pretty cool. Fast wireless charging.

I swear it didn't used to do that. Is it

because I just dropped it?

It's not going to explode, is it?

Can you hear it?

It's going.

Whatever.

Okay.

It's a bit distracting actually. Why is it

Maybe if I bang it again.

It's quite a nice little power bank,

quite slim, 5,000 milliamps.

Okay, whatever.

Cost £13. I really don't

like the noise actually, it's annoying.

It doesn't make a noise when I put it on

the iPhone.

Well, it does, but it's less noisy.

That's weird.

Maybe if

I put it over here.

Okay,

I can still hear it. It sounds like a

Find something to occupy your mind. I just

feel like I have no interest in

entertainment, like movies, shows, games.

You're not going to ask for your clothes

back? I don't know why she's not bringing

my clothes. She said she'll drop them off

later in the week. She doesn't do

anything. She works like 2 days a week,

and then the rest of the week she's just

like hanging around with a family or

babysitting.

Do I have any IRL friends? Not really.

The only human interaction I get is when I

go to work, but I don't

really talk to them.

Yeah, I think it's just kind of silly that

she expects me to text her again when

I opened up and wrote a long message and

she was basically like, oh, thanks for the

apology, I guess. Too late though.

That sound is really bugging me. I hate it

when weird sounds are coming from

electronics.

Is he gonna screw today's meal again? No,

I researched. I'm making pork belly. So

what they do is first they boil the pork

to get rid of the impurities, and then

they pat it dry, and then they prick the

fat, and then they put vinegar on it to

extract the moisture, and then they put

salt, and then they leave it on there for

a couple hours or overnight. And then they

take it out of the fridge and they wipe

off the salt and then they, they wrap it

in tin foil so only the top bit is exposed

and they put in the air fryer for about 30

minutes. I forgot what temperature,

120. So that way the bottom bit stays

juicy and doesn't go dry and then the top

bit goes crispy and you boil— I don't

know why you boil it like Because when I

boiled it, I guess all this gunk floated

to the top. I guess that's the impurities.

So I'm gonna make crispy pork belly, and

this time I'm gonna do the rice with half

a cup of rice 2 cups of water. I put

way too much water last time.

She's even more work-shy than Daniel.

I don't know, she worked full-time in

Japan doing English teaching for 3 years,

but she seems like she doesn't— I mean,

she did say she wants to get more days,

increase number of days at her job.

It is weird it's making that sound.

It definitely seems like it's charging

faster than how fast the iPhone charges.

Yeah, I'm gonna make— how should I make

the broccoli?

I'm thinking I wrap the broccoli in foil

so it doesn't dry out in the air fryer.

I really wish I got to test out the

battery bank before I dropped it to make

sure it wasn't because I dropped it.

Did she date her students? No, but she did

say she kind of went

on a date with a teacher, but he was

really awkward and then she left.

He tried to do his moves.

I feel like she seemed a lot happier in

Japan. Well, maybe that's just because

she— we weren't that close. I mean, we

were doing it, so we're pretty close, but

we weren't like super emotionally

intimate. So maybe she was hiding it, but

she seemed happier in Japan.

Who knows, maybe she had loads of problems

in Japan too, but she didn't tell me about

it because she was trying to create an

image of herself, her best image.

Yeah, now she's fighting with her mum.

I thought the whole point coming back to

UK was because she missed her family. Now

she's like fighting with her family.

The sound is annoying me. I'm just gonna

plug in the cable.

Yeah, it's quite a nice case.

MagSafe. I can't believe I'm using

a 7-year-old phone and it's still good.

S10 Plus, very good phone.

Yeah, so I don't know really. Um,

I guess I'll just stay here for now

and focus on my job.

I have nearly paid off the credit card

Only £1,300 and then £2,262 on

the Amazon card.

I could probably get it all paid off—

well, I need to get it all paid off by the

end of this month. Thanks to your mum.

Well, yeah, because I haven't got paid

Pay off the IKEA loan.

Um, well, IKEA loan is 0%

interest.

For 10 months, I think it was. But you

gotta make £100 a month minimum payments.

It's gonna be boring from here on out.

Well, yeah, unless something happens.

Either Sunny comes back or a new girl

appears.

Or I just end up being alone for the

entire time here, which could happen.

Manchester, I was pretty much alone for

most of it despite trying. I just couldn't

meet anyone. Sometimes you just go through

a period in your life where you got

What was that?

I don't

even know what that was.

Yeah, why haven't

I bought a case for the Mini?

Um, because it already has MagSafe built

into it.

I only got the case for the Samsung

because it doesn't have MagSafe built in.

No,

it is weird. The sound is

much louder. Maybe it's because of the

sellotape on the back of the Samsung, or

is it because the Samsung is doing the

fast wireless charging and the iPhone is

doing slow wireless charging.

Could be.

Oh well, I don't really need the battery

bank for the Samsung anyway. I'm actually

looking forward to going to work and

trying out my new MagSafe case because now

I can put it on my car wireless charger

Yeah.

I used to have a rugged magnetic case for

my iPhone, but I ditched it in Thailand

because it was too bulky. Did I return

the Doge phone? Yep, but I didn't get my

refund yet.

Yeah, so I got 3 points on my license now.

Um, it's gonna expire in 3 years. Or maybe

2 years and 8

months. If that— if it means

that I got the points on the day I got

pulled over, which might be the case,

then it should be another 2 years and 8

months. Just as long as I don't get pulled

over again. That's why I was scared

of driving for the— because, you know,

after you pass your driving test, the

first 2 years, if you get 6 points, you

get disqualified. But after two years, it

takes twelve points to get you

disqualified. So I felt like going to

Thailand and not getting a car until two

years after I passed was a good idea

because if I just passed and it would only

take six points to get banned, and I've

already got three points, I'd be a bit

nervous. And they didn't even offer me

a course. I thought they might offer me.

Like a course instead of giving me points.

But it's been over 2 years.

What are legal crimes on Discord?

It's been over 2 years since I passed, so

I'm not a new driver.

Yeah, banned from driving. Then I can't do

delivery work. But surely, I think if you

get disqualified, it just means you gotta

take the test again.

What did they catch you doing? I changed

lanes without indicating in front of a

police car. And they pulled

said it was dangerous.

They said if we weren't aware, then it

could have caused a major crash.

I really doubt it because no one was

moving. It was red lights and I moved off

at the red light and then I went from the

straight lane into the right lane and

no one was moving. I was the fastest

because I got electric car. How are they

going to go from 0 to 40 into my backside

when the lights just went green?

Unless you've got like a Tesla and you're

doing 0 to 360 in 3 seconds.

So unfair.

I was so stressed out that day. I took my

mum to the hospital to get— because she

was doing her surgery, and then I had to

do a Morrison's block and my car battery

was kind of low, so I had range anxiety.

I was trying to do my Morrison's block

quickly to get back to the hospital in

time, and the hospital kept phoning me

because they needed my phone number. They

wouldn't let my mum do the operation until

they got my phone number. So they had

family or friend to contact.

But my mum didn't know my phone number,

so the hospital kept spamming my phone and

I was like pressing reject, reject because

I needed my GPS. All of these things all

came at once. And then I was at this place

where it was like 6 lanes. I'd never been

there before. The road was really

complicated. It was dark. It was raining.

Reddit knows about your crime. What crime?

Can't even speak English properly.

Yeah, then I just— it was all bad timing,

stress. Unfamiliar with the roads.

And then a police car was just behind me

as well. So annoying.

I hate bus lanes. The entire lane just for

the bus, and then you get fined if you go

into it, and it's empty 99% of the time.

Why don't you just let cars go into the

bus lane if there's no bus in the bus

lane? Most of the time there's no buses in

the bus lane anyway. And then you got

those bus gates. Like a special lane where

the bus can use it to get onto the

roundabout.

Yeah, the whole Zelensky thing kind of

made me dislike Trump and Vance a little

bit. It just looks so bad. Why were they

yelling at him? And why was Vance— why did

he keep saying, have you even said thank

you to His Highness the Royal President

Trump? Treating him like a kid. It's so

annoying when people are like, you didn't

even say thank you. You're so

unappreciative.

Who cares?

Zelensky says thank you all the time.

What do you mean?

You're being rude and disrespectful to

America? What a joke.

Shut up.

Aren't you going to say sorry?

Yeah, Zelensky, where's the sorry? You

disrespected the Oval Office. Shut up.

Like such a bunch of Karens.

I thought they were cool.

I kind of didn't like Zelensky, but now I

feel sorry for him.

He can barely speak English.

He begs for trillions?

Well, what else are you gonna do?

Yeah, and then they all got triggered

about when he, when he said it will

influence you too. Trump was like,

don't tell us how it's going to influ— I

can't remember what he said. Don't tell us

how it's going to for us.

Yeah, hopefully, fingers crossed, I make

good dinner tonight. Yeah, look, it's not

making a noise. Oh, it's making the noise,

it's just very quiet on the iPhone.

Someone said, um, why don't I make the

steak in the air fryer? Would that work?

Wouldn't it just be dry?

It'd be like roasting a steak.

Unless the air fryer would, like, cook the

outside and leave the middle bit juicy.

Well, my heels come in tomorrow. I'm just

gonna eat cabbage and huel. I'm gonna get

some cabbage and make my raw cabbage dish

and maybe some miso soup and then have

huel as my main part of the meal. I'll

make some side dishes, you know, like easy

crispy broccoli. But maybe I just give up.

Maybe I'll just become vegan just because

cooking meat is such a pain in the

backside. I feel like the chance of fading

failure to cook meat properly and

it doesn't turn out disgusting is too much

hassle. Vegetables are way easier to cook.

You don't get chewy vegetables. You don't—

I mean, you could undercook the

vegetables, but it's hard to.

Drinking Huel for dinner. Well, I'm just

going to put it into a bowl so it's like

porridge and I mix some syrup into it.

Or if I want it to be savory, I could put

Marmite. It's got protein, it's got all of

the nutrients you need, it's got 27

vitamins, it's got 30 grams of protein,

and I'll put— I mix it with milk so I have

even more protein with the milk.

And then for food, I just have, you know,

like sausage rolls for solid food.

I'm just— I'm so fed up. I'm trying to

cook fucking rice. I want

to get some chips, actually, you know,

fries,

french fries.

Also, I thought maybe I mix my coffee into

the Huel and I take it with me to work so

I get caffeine release into my system at

work. I need to time how long it takes

from drinking the coffee until I need to

pee, and then I'll know how long.

I think I'll take my, my Huel flask.

Hopefully it comes with a Huel flask and

I'll mix in the coffee into the Huel.

With the milk, and then I'll have

caffeinated Huel.

Don't understand how you're struggling so

much. Yeah, I don't know either. I cooked

the steak and it was chewy.

Why was it so chewy?

And I'm having big problems with the rice.

The only thing that's been good is the

broccoli. Broccoli has been delicious.

Oh, I watched Ice's stream. The same guy

I saw was in his stream. You know, the guy

who's on the street selling bracelets? He

was in Osaka. Me and that Momo guy walked

past him and we talked to him and he was

like, he had that sign. He said, I am a

traveling YouTuber. Traveling across Japan

selling bracelets. He was in Ice's stream

as well. That was kind of funny.

Isn't that illegal? I'm pretty sure he

doesn't even have a work visa. You can't

just, like, set up a store on the street

side and sell stuff. It's not Paris.

And then there's that annoying guy that

kept following Ice around, begging him to

use him or something.

He looked like such a dork.

Yeah, I guess Okinawa looks not as bad as

I thought it would be.

Can't you go to the American army base

first stream? Consolidate your debts.

Well, just ask my mum to give me money,

pay off all my debts, and then I just owe

my mum. Maybe I'd feel less stressed like

Oh yay, one of my streams got remonetized.

For some reason, a bunch of my streams

getting demonetized, and I requested

review, and most of them came back saying,

unfortunately, we will stick to our

original decision. But this stream, not

this one, but the one on the email said

they've remonetized. I don't care because

no one watches the streams after a week,

but I hate seeing the yellow dollar sign.

It triggers me.

My mum said she'd help me pay for a

deposit on a house. She said, you're

wasting your money renting, giving your

money away to a landlord. She said she

would help me pay for a deposit, but she

said she would only be able to help me

with like $10K. That's not enough. I need

like $30K because I don't want to

put a small deposit down and then my

mortgage payments are stupidly high. I

want to put down a fat deposit and then my

mortgage payments are like $300 a month.

That's the dream.

Also, because if I do this job, then I

would have steady income. And then when I

do the mortgage application, that would

help me, wouldn't it? I don't know if I

want to buy a house, to be honest. It's a

big commitment, isn't it?

Very big commitment.

Although if I was going to buy a house,

it probably would be here near where my

really easy, nice job is. But then I'm

basically stuck here. Most I could do is

probably like a week or two vacation.

I don't even know if I'm allowed to take

holiday. I feel like if I say, oh, can I

go to Thailand for 3 months and come back,

they're going to replace me. And then when

I come back, they'll be like, sorry, Dan,

Tim is doing your job now.

What am I going to do with the house?

Well, I would be paying the money into my

house that I'm going to own instead of

just paying my landlord.

That's the point of it, isn't it?

And then when you own it fully, all you

got to do is pay for the council tax and

electricity. It'll be dirt cheap once

you've paid off the mortgage. You just—

your expenses would be a couple hundred

You'd be Winning at life. No rent,

no mortgage, just council tax,

electricity, the occasional maintenance.

With what money? The 30K a year I'm

bringing in from doing full-time delivery

work. Keep up.

It's just I'm getting all these crazy

ideas like, oh, sell everything, go back

to Thailand. My mind is all

over the place. I don't know what I want.

Imagine locking into a mortgage when you

have a free house to live in. Yeah, that

is the other point, isn't it? I could just

go back and live with my mum,

work part-time,

save up, have some adventures in Asia,

come back home like I've been doing my

whole life basically. Or I could commit to

the house and then I'm just like I've not

paid my mortgage for 20 years.

I do kind of miss home sometimes.

I do like Devon though. It is quite nice

here.

I do not like Maidstone and all these

chavvy towns.

If you earn 30k a year, £5,000 in taxes.

Yeah,

well, um, this tax year ends in about

34 days, so I'm not gonna make 30k in 34

days. I've only made £17k this tax year.

I'll probably make— I don't

know how much I'm gonna get paid this

month for the 2 weeks of work I've done so

far. It might only be about £600.

So my total income for this tax year is

probably gonna be about £18,000-something.

Possibly nearly 19, and then I've got to

pay that tax in January next year.

Or go back to Thailand, get 5-year visa.

Don't know. It's hard trying to decide

what to do in life, isn't it?

It stopped making the noise.

Oh no, it is.

Weird. You're good at drawing. I got these

pens.

They are oil-based permanent markers. You

shake it and then you push down on the

And they smell kind of nice.

Yeah, I opened this one before.

Oh, it's like alcohol. It smells

like wine.

So I got that because my gel pen, when it

was raining, I wrote the number on the

parcel and then the rain just melted it

off. So I got this waterproof oil-based

pen.

I don't make any money from drawing, so I

can't be bothered doing it. And also, I

don't know what to draw.

I've got some paper.

I don't even know, all I end up drawing

were anime girls, because in my mind I

think the most beautiful thing in this

world is probably an attractive woman. So

I keep trying to draw one and then they

always end up looking weird.

I need a lot of editing and

fiddling to make it look good,

or I end up just drawing mountains. My

drawings just suck.

Wow, so beautiful.

I like drawing shipping

containers. They're kind of satisfying.

What do you think?

I really need an iPad if I was going to do

art so I can easily grab stuff, move it

around. Edit it. I struggle

with pens and paints because you can't

change things easily.

I don't

know why, it's like when, when you're

young you like drawing and sketching and

doodling. And then as you get older, your

artistic side kind of disappears. My dad

was the same. My dad did some amazing oil

paintings when he was in college,

but he never painted or did any art when

he was older.

God, his oil paintings were so good, like

Bob Ross levels. He had this painting. It

was like a rock in a stormy ocean and the

waves splashing against the rock. And

there was like the white of the waves and

the bubbles and the cloudy sky. It looked

really good. I wish I took a photo of it.

I think you end up just becoming so

obsessed and focused on making money and

paying debts and your mortgage and your

car, all this other stuff that you enjoyed

doing as a kid, like drawing and art,

when you had the luxury of doing that

stuff. You just don't have the time or the

mental energy for it.

It feels like it's not important.

I wish I had my Japanese jinbei. I could

wear it over my bathrobe.

So, you know, I'm, I'm feeling like

running away, but then also I'm feeling

like, well, what if I do stick with this

job and the money's good and it comes in

stably, regularly? I could just stick it

out here. And turn this into a proper home

instead of ditching.

But it's going to be kind of boring,

isn't it? But then it'll be comfortable,

which is what I wanted. I wanted comfort

and not slumming it out in hotels.

Can't you make it less boring? I don't

know how. What, what do I do?

It would involve needing a woman

to progress the storyline.

I thought maybe I could get, you know,

these tall plants to put around the edges

of the garden so it feels— because right

now it's just stone and then the wooden

fence. Doesn't feel very cozy.

Get a barbecue.

They got mad at the Ukraine guy for not

saying thank you. Yeah, I, I took

that personally for some reason. Like, I

felt like I was being personally attacked

because according to someone, I don't

show appreciation enough either.

Have you even said thank you once

this evening?

What a stupid thing to say. So childish.

Although, why does Zelensky dress like

that? I don't get it. He gets mocked for

the way he dresses, but he could easily

just, I don't know, put on a jacket and a

tie. Why does he always dress like he's in

his pajamas? He looks like he's in his

pajamas. It doesn't even look like war

fatigues. At least he could wear

like a smart military uniform with the

shoulder pauldron things. Maybe like

a breast pocket. Green, camouflage green,

buttoned up. Why does he dress like that?

It's kind of weird.

He should have like a military jacket and

it's covered in blood and it's covered

in like bullet holes, so it looks like

he's just come back from the front lines.

That would be pretty funny.

Why don't they just send all the illegal

immigrants in America to Ukraine? Trump

wants to get rid of the illegal immigrants

anyway. It's like what the

English used to do, sending the criminals

to Australia. More cannon fodder.

Win-win for both sides.

Poor Leozulensky, bullied by the

Trump. Wow, this case has really made

the phone feel like a new phone.

Weird. It's also easier to grab now. I

don't like the curved edges on the S10

Plus. You remember when Samsung was

experimenting with that curved edge? They

even brought out a phone called the

Samsung Galaxy Edge,

and it was wrapped around and it had like

a little button— had little buttons on the

edge of it, and you kept accidentally

pressing it. And then they put it on the

S10+ as well. Don't like that.

I like the flat edges of the iPhone.

One more day of boredom. What am I going

to do tomorrow?

Oh, God, it's so boring.

Maybe I just go and do Uber Eats, even

though I'm not going to make any money.

I want to do something that feels

productive but doesn't cost any money.

What could that be?

My neighbors keep triggering my camera.

Who wants to bet I don't get my laundry

back tomorrow? So why did Sunny

say, I'll drop your laundry off at the end

of the week, and then she doesn't? Is it

because I've upset her even more? Maybe

she was watching the streams. And I made

her more mad.

She's waiting for you to text her. Well,

I said okay. She said, I'll drop off your

clothes later in the week. I said okay.

What else am I supposed to say to that?

Hello, where are my clothes?

I don't want to keep messaging her as if

the only thing I care about are the

clothes, which is kind of weird.

I don't know why she's being such a baby

about it.

She doesn't have that many, maybe a couple

underwear and a couple socks, but she's

got my favorite trousers. I love those

Now I've got to try and find some other

trousers, I guess, on Amazon.

Also, I don't know what I'm going to do

when I run out of clean laundry. I'm

thinking I just put it all in the sink and

then I put toilet duck and I just swish it

around. I don't understand washing

machines because they don't really— they

just spin the clothing round and round and

round really fast. How does that wash it?

To wash it, you've got to like squash it

and rub it against each other to get the

dirt out. What if I just spin it around

What about shampoo? Can that clean

clothing? Or washing-up

liquid?

Or if I just flush the toilet and that'll

spin it around?

Got this annoying spot here.

My skin rashes on my arm all cleared up.

Look,

that was weird. I don't know if it's

because I got the cream that my sister

recommended, or if they just cleared up

anyway, or if it's because I changed my

jumper. They were looking

so gross. Look at them now,

perfect skin. It is still a bit dry

where it was, but it's clearing up.

Yeah, I got a 1% hydrocortisone

corticosteroid cream.

Oh, it's here. I got this cream.

Hydrocortisone cream, 1%.

Cetomicrogol emulsifying wax,

chlorocresol liquid paraffin,

macrogol white soft paraffin, and purified

water. Fuck, why do I keep

dropping stuff?

I forgot what corticosteroid I used in

Thailand. It was called Tara Plus.

No, I don't remember. It was something

-one. All the corticosteroids

end in -one.

O-N-E. What if I put that on my pimples?

Do you think it would clear up the

pimples? Go to India? Uh,

no way ever.

I really don't really want to travel.

Maybe I do just stick with the house idea

I don't know why it's so hard figuring out

what to do in life.

Damn, my phone looks nice now.

I don't hear the noise.

Can you hear it?

It's quite a strong magnet. I wonder if it

sticks to other metal things.

No,

no, it has to stick to a magnet, I guess.

Have I seen Groundhog Day? I've seen

Tomorrow's Edge with Tom Cruise, and I

think that's the same idea where whenever

he dies, the day resets and he wakes up at

the beginning of the day, and he keeps

having to go to war, and he keeps getting

killed and waking up again.

But what does life progress look like

instead of stagnation? Is it making more

money and then buying more stuff?

I think it's strengthening your financial

position,

but that would mean not buying stuff.

Might make my pork soon. 7 o'clock.

Where's my selfie stick?

Wait, oh, it's here.

Fingers crossed we make the most delicious

and succulent— wow,

my phone kind of looks like a new phone

now. Pork.

The fingerprint scanner sucks on this.

It's really slow, doesn't work.

Temu ads, where is the Oh,

it's there.

What? Oh my God,

no! The case puts a black ring around

the camera. Oh, that is Shit,

what?

For God's sake, why do they do that?

It's like a peephole. Now I've got to take

the case off. Oh my God,

stupid case.

I can't believe they did that. It's, um,

it's this one here.

Now I've got to keep taking the case off

every time I stream.

That's so annoying.

Better be easy to take off.

What a rubbish case.

Okay, switch the mic.

It's not a big deal. I only need the case

for work, not for streaming.

Testing. Oh my God, what was that?

I really do like my gaming chair. Very

comfortable, especially with the lumbar

cushion. Oh my God,

goddamn ants.

First I gotta wash my plate.

I'll show you my pork that I've prepared.

So this is my pork.

I boiled it and then I put salt on it to

dry it out.

And then I put it in this foil, so

hopefully just the top gets crispy. Oh,

I've got to make the rice first. This time

I'm going to make perfect rice.

Yeah, all the, um, video tutorials, they

boil the pork and then they put vinegar

and salt on the skin, and then they,

um, dry out the moisture and

then air fry it.

Okay, this time we do half

a cup of rice, 1 cup of water.

I'm prepared.

Okay,

how about that?

Cook,

and then

the broccoli.

I might put it into foil as well.

Sesame oil.

Salt.

So we're gonna air fry the top of the

pork, and then the bottom bit's gonna kind

of steam, and then the broccoli is gonna

Hopefully that works.

Just gotta wait for the rice first.

Fingers crossed.

Oh.

Guess Sunny's not coming over this week

after all.

Spread oil on the pork fat.

But I thought the point was to get it all

dry.

Although in one of the videos he air fries

it. And then takes it out and then

rubs some oil on it and then puts it back

Last time I had communication with Sunny

was Monday, so Sunday was when it

happened. And she phoned

on Sunday and I answered and

she was like, why are you ignoring me?

And I said, because you're upset. And then

she said, I'm not upset. And then she hung

up.

And I was fed up. I couldn't be bothered,

so I just carried on with my stream. And

then the next day I apologized,

but she said the damage has been done.

She probably made up with her mum already.

I just really can't jeopardize my job just

because she had a fight and wants to be

picked up. I can't do that.

I'm in massive crippling debt. I need to

focus on work. Not take days off.

I feel like it's not very fair to put

all the blame on me.

So what temperature would you put the pork

Ask AI.

Hey again, Daniel. Ready to dive in?

Yeah, so I'm cooking pork belly in an air

fryer. I want to make the skin crispy.

How long do I put it in the air fryer and

what temperature? Nice choice.

To get that pork belly skin crispy in an

air fryer, preheat it to around 200

degrees Celsius. Cook the pork belly for

about 30 to 35 minutes, checking halfway

through. If it's not crispy enough, you

can add a few more minutes, but keep an

eye on it to avoid burning. How's it

looking over there? So I have it in for

200 degrees the whole time.

Perfect, you're on track. Just make sure

to check it around the 15 to 20 minute

mark to see how the skin is crisping up.

If it needs a little more time, you can

add a few extra minutes. The goal is to

get that skin golden and crunchy. Smells

good already, I'm sure. And should I put

some oil on the skin first?

Yes, a bit of oil can work wonders for

crisping up that skin. Rub a small amount

of oil over the skin before cooking. A

neutral oil with a high smoke point, like

vegetable or canola oil, is a good choice.

This helps the skin to blister and crisp

up beautifully. Looking forward to that

crackling sound! What about sesame oil?

Sesame oil has a distinct flavor and a

lower smoke point, so it might not be the

best for achieving that crispy skin in the

air fryer. It's more commonly used as a

finishing oil. Okay,

200 degrees.

Yeah, why can't real people be like AI

where he's so understanding?

He's always like From your perspective,

I see how that could be a concern, and

it's understandable why you have anxiety

about this event. But in real life,

people like, you stupid idiot,

you suck because you didn't do the thing

that benefits me but inconveniences you.

Daniel, what do you think of what happened

between Trump and Zelensky? Are you

worried Putin could get to the UK or other

countries since it's confirmed USA is

helping Russia? Will you go to Japan again

if things get worse? Putin could get to

the UK? How?

Even Hitler couldn't invade the UK.

Putin has no chance.

Poland wouldn't dare because then we would

just invade Russia, wouldn't we? He would

give us all the justification to invade

Russia. So, um,

we've got the broccoli there.

Uh, I guess they could cook at the same

temperature. And then you've got the pork

there. It did say preheat,

didn't it? Ah, don't need to preheat.

Oh, I didn't put the oil.

I put vegetable oil. I don't have a brush.

I could put it on the spoon.

I need a cooking brush already.

Rub the oil on the skin.

Okay,

should be good like that.

Fingers crossed.

So he said I'll put maybe 185

degrees and 20

minutes at first,

see how that goes.

Done my research this time.

Don't think the middle pork will cook

properly. It's already cooked, I boiled

it. I just need the skin to go crisp,

or the fat to go crisp.

Miso soup again.

You think 185 is too low? Okay,

I'll put it up to 195. How about that?

I might have to take the broccoli out

before the pork.
