11:47pm, Neon Underpass. ran a full sweep on the corner cam for the ninth time tonight just to confirm it's still pointed at me. it is. it has always been pointed at me.

cracked the left lens in a scuffle with a drone last week and NEKOCORP tried to bill me a RESTOCKING FEE on hardware they'd already confiscated once. sir these aren't even the same glasses. sir I built these in a bathtub.

the ban letter called them “an unauthorized use of BASEDness” like that's a real legal category. it is now, apparently. I've officially been served papers for VIBES.

BYTE texted “stay based” at me mid-hack last week like it fixes anything. it doesn't fix anything, BYTE. but I said it back anyway because honestly what else is there.

went to the repossession hearing for my own eyes today. MY OWN EYES. sat in a waiting room next to a vending machine that only takes loyalty points and stared at the wall with whatever I had left to stare with.

some meowtoid in the underpass asked why I still bother wearing cracked sunglasses at night. brother. it was never about seeing less. it was about NEKOCORP seeing less.

BRIK says based doesn't have hydraulics. BRIK also lives in a duct and bites drones for sport so I'm not fully sold he's the authority on subtlety here, but he's not wrong either.

anyway. lens still cracked, ban still active, eyes still technically NEKOCORP property until Thursday. staying meowpilled. staying under a radar I built myself out of a bathtub and spite.
