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…

I got cat hair INSIDE my nose… :/

I made my nose itchy and I managed to get it out after like days… aaaahhhh wtf cat?

Why do I constantly feel like there is a cat hair inside my nose? it feels like tinnitus but for nose

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

👀

Just kidding… unless… 🥺👉👈

If a non-abusive mother or father has cancer and is on their deathbed, and their son refuses to see them, is that cold, unforgivable, and ‘wrong’? Would it be wrong if the son or daughter celebrated their death?

Forget the “Darth” in front of your username?

@grimreaper@sopuli.xyz this you? 🧐

Lol

Hispanic Americans have joined the chat (cuz they vote MAGA)

Most important thing is:

Votes should be out of ALL SEATS, not only those present.

Example: 101 seats in a legislature

51 Team A

50 Team B

Team B shouldn’t be able to just assassinate 2 of Team A to win majority. Fuck that shit. An empty seat should be treated as if it were a “no” vote.

The current system is basically favoring the side that supports political violence. And this shit is the same around the world. Just block your opposition from entering the building and voila! You get a majority.

Seriously am I the only one in the world that see this bullshit! Why are politicians so dumb? I should run this planet goddammit.

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

But why do they even need to hack elections? The folks over at .ml told me that elections are pointless and the rich already controls everything!

???

According Chinese society: 38 would be too old, nobody would want you.

Dad was 31 and Mom was 24 when they married, you’re late to the train according to them.

My older brother is 28, he’s on a trip to China right now to supposedly meet “marriage candidates”

Mom is pressuring him cuz “once you get older nobody would want you anymore” 🤔

I’m 23 and mom is already jokingly like: “Hey I know this person’s daughter, do you wanna meet and ‘maybe become friends’?” (heavily implying marriage) I just fucking laughed… I’m so depressed I can’t even take care of a cat, how am I supposed to start a family lmao… I need to fix depression first…

Once when I was in my teens I heard mom want me to “hang out” with her best friend’s daughter and “become friends”… lol… maybe she should’ve thought about that before moving away from Brooklyn where they lived… we used to live like right across the street from them… but rent is a big hassle and parents wanted to have home ownership thats why we moved to Philly…

and I have been to their house… I’m shy af and didn’t wanna talk…

Yea I’m gonna be forever alone… I don’t even have the courage to talk to people lol…

Btw: Arranged Marriages =/= Forced Marriages

You have the choice to “veto” in an Arranged Marriage, but not in a Forced Marriage.

The “Arranged” is referring to who’s in the captain steering the ship, so parents and relatives are heavily involved in the matchmaking process and looking for “candidates”.

Off on a tangent, but:

I hear some Naturalized US citizens still attempting to use their Chinese passport to enter China…

China does not allow dual citzizenship… 👀

If they get on the CCP’s radar, they can’t get help from the US Embassy anymore since they entered with a Chinese passport…

And the worst part is the knowing winks like “I know you prefer cash” with the implication I’m a tax cheat. Fuck you, asshole! You’re just making more work for me! Now I have to log this myself and report it separately from my W-2s.

Nice comment, now the government is off your back 😉

I think it’s because: “If love wasn’t the reason to get into a marriage, then lack if love wouldn’t be the reason to get out of a marriage” (I read this from some random forum/website and it actually make so much sense).

In Traditional Chinese marriage, they look at practical stuff like if they have the wealth, housing, career, to raise children… that sort of stuff… love is secondary ti those things…

So in my parents time, people of marriage age would just get introduced to those who are also of marriage of the opposite sex. And like if they feel okay with it, they just settle and get married.

I think once I ask my mom why she went with my dad, she said something like “he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t gamble, he doesn’t drink”… like… lol…

I feel like a lot of people in China have those aforementioned problems.

They’re still married to this day… I doubt they have much sex besides for procreation so like… probably only those 2 times creating my older brother then me…

My mom is kinda scary tho, she once went full tiger mom mode and threatened to divorce my dad… because some stupid disagreement… and I was a teen during that time… kinda messed up my mood… I mean that feels world shattering if it happens… so… luckily it never did.
