My family's legal documents are being kept somewhere at home, and its kinda weird to think about, like zero security, I doubt its even fireproof, definitely not waterproof, some flood is gonna destroy it.

I actually asked because I was more of thinking about storing journals, but didn't feel like elaborating in the post because nobody ever reads the body of a post anyways lol

Not true! Especially about this subject. Until I read this, I saw your asain letters in your name and im sorry, but that immediately increased my suspicion that you were a scammer or something! I thought you could probably track our IP addresses -and find where we live and try to get our safe type so you could learn how to break in that specific safe.- if we didn't have a VPN. Ive known people that could do that stuff... anyway, im not racist or anything, but knowing this is a bout journeling humanizes you more.

Edit: I wouldnt tell you shit and I think that anyone that does is a complete idiot

LOL

It's from an Anime 😭 (Steins;Gate, characters are Kanji)

I guess it also kinda works as a Sinophobia-filter. Not to point fingers, but even amonst many of the western "liberal"/"leftists", I feel like subconcious bias is still a thing. So I'm just intentionally trying to de-sensitize people to the idea of Asia. I get it, a lot of scammers, but I mean... I do not judge every Indian for a few dipshits that do scam. Neither should people be judging based on my username lol. But I get it, everyone has these implicit biases.

I'm Chinese-American in case you're wondering, kinda feeling underrepresented in the fediverse, which seems to be westerner-dominated. Which is why I feel like I wanna be here, to sort of "fix" the underrepresentation issue.
