Holy shit, New u/GrimReaper Obsession, Just Dropped!

Instead of Age Gaps and superheroes, its canals and drowning…

🤣

Oh yea 0 votes is so sad… I wonder if federation is broken or I got shadowbanned or something…

I think the thing is not about the score, its just an affirmation that, yes, someone in the world did hear you and you didn’t decrease the lifespan of your keyboard for no reason…

But I’d rather have a “read by [X] Users” stat that is neutral, rather than a negative stat like a downvote…

Getting downvoted feels like when you were in K-12 school and the entire class bullying you

Recommendations?

Idk how to even get into listening to English-language music…

Should I spotify? But then again that’s corporate… I’d get cancelled here if I start using that…

How are you even supposed to… um… music?

I’m literally just listening to random Cantonese and Mandarin music on Youtube…

The only music I ever had at home was hearing my dad’s Cantopop… that’s my introduction to music…

(And also just random intrumental music I found online… like beetoven stuff)

So C-Pop is what I know most…

(The only English songs I know are stuff similar to “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson, cuz I just wanted to find songs about the theme of shitty parenting… cuz I had problems with parents and need some songs like that for cartharisis)

Omg 🤣

My favorite Anime (well one of my favorites, not sure its its still at the top now)

I always imagined this idea of: me just randomly talk to foreigners in China… to see reactions… like… If I ever visit China, I’m straight up just gonna randomly walk up to English-speakers and be like “sup homie”

Might confused then for like a good few seconds since most people in China with an East Asian face does not have an American accent.

Pro Tip: Take long bathroom breaks at work and spend the time reading labor laws.

Hopefully when they start complaining about your bathroom breaks, you’ve already understood most of the labor laws to file a lawsuit against your shitty employer.

Dunno how I upset you with this post, but go ahead… 🤷‍♂️

Aint no way, they spoke fake Mandarin 🤣

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-wbpZ7-5gQ

I watched like 2 clips and I already cringed the fuck out

Nah bruh, I went to 2 years of elementary school in China and watched a lot of Mandarin cartoons and TV shows, aint no way they did this…

So butchered…

I can feel the host cringing

This sounds like how American teachers tried to pronounce my name… 💀

(Okay it’s not fake-fake, just so awful you need a PhD in Chinese Language to understand it)

I have no idea what you mean. AFAIK China does not have healthcare for all, or free healthcare. But apart from that IDK how healthcare actually works in China.

Common rhetoric I get told in the Fediverse… I mean if you look in World News comms, you’ll see those…

Which just confuses the fuck out of me since its a contradiction to my parents first-hand accounts (and also some of what gets told by my aunts (and other relatives/people in my parent’s social circle in China))

“America” isn’t the only country with these issues

My family emigrated from China… its about the same on the other side of the ocean… (honestly don’t know what the “free healthcare in China” stuff came from… certaintly didn’t apply to my family from Taishan with Taishan Hukou)

They’re so used to this lol, they think this is just normal

Also: Young people are expected to fund their parents retirement… its a crime to just abandon your elderly parents who cannot afford their living (unless you have proof of abuse)

Great Firewall of Europe

So now Chinese who managed to bypass the firewall cannot access western sites behind Google’s new Captcha-wall?

Wow, great job, Google. 🙄

(I mean unless they managed to import a Googled-phone into China too)

Context:

8 years old was when my family immigrated to the US… probably also the factor of being in a foreign place…

Not sure if there any any immigrant parents that would just lets their kids roam free without supervision…

“Earth Court? Mars Court? What Inner Court gives Belters justice?”

One of my most memorable quotes from The Expanse

Lol. My mom didn’t give me permission to be outside by myself until like 6th grade when she finally signed the permission papers to let me walk home from school by myself. (6th grade is still considered Elementary school where I live, still required parents to pick up as a standard protocol)

Cuz she was afraid of (a) kidnappings and (b) that someone would report it and then “CPS would come and take me away and I’d never see mom again”

That was like when I was 12 years old… whats that in Cat Years?

Oh the “hold your child’s (read: cat) hands (read: paws) when crossing the street” is gonna get a bit weird… (you’re gonna get scratched by “your child” (aka: cat))

Funny enough, I just read a wikipedia article with “Japanese” and “Javanese” in the same sentence… kinds breaks your brain a little lol

The original term I heard was “電腦製作” (literally as: Computer Generated)

Example: [X]係電腦製作嘅

Wait till we find a way to see into the past…

“Chronoscope Coordinates or didn’t happen”

Before that people would just dismiss photos of atrocities as CGI or something…

What if we just gave some nukes to Taiwan? Then japan no longer have an excuse to militarize.

👀

Just kidding… unless… 🥺👉👈

Except when it comes to healthcare and UBI, apparantly Americans don’t want to take any of that… 👀
