Who doesnt want an “anti fraud” app running on your devices all the time. Daddy Xi really wants to protect all his beloved children from the evil foreign “scams” by actively monitoring looking out for all under his reign protection!

No but you’ll inadvertently release the T-Virus, Dr. Wesker

Reject Cooking. Return to eating tree bark.

Funnily enough:

My mom told me she’d block me if I sent the xijinping jokes to her when she visited china.

Anyways, even after they returned I got in an argument with my brother so i send anti-xi stuff to the family Wechat group to troll them and my brother left the group and blocked me. Last I heard he was searching for women in China to marry so thats probably why, he doesnt wanna lose the 1.4 billion population market of potential “marriage candidates”. (seriously he could just marry a Taiwanese, since he’s obsessed with traditional chinese characters)

My wechat account is still active btw, I think diasporas get more leeway vs a local Chinese.

Lolol

YOLO

Edit: For context the argument was that he was keep saying annoying shit so I told him to shut up. And he pulled out the “freedom of speech card” (which doesnt even apply here since this is him being annoying and triggering my anxiety, effectively harassment, nothing to do with government trampling rights), so I responded by saying to most sterotypically “Pro America” rant on wechat, so then my brother blocked me. Oh I thought he loved free speech, why be so scared of CCP and block me?

Yea sure, maybe not france rn but um, I always wanted to visit Europe, well not the eastern parts cuz I dont wanna get hit by a russian missile 👀, but Schengen Area seems cool. Problem is I dont feel like learning 5 different languages so I’m gonna have to rely on google translate.

I heard that Iceland speaks English

But I just got back from Canada recently so probably no traveling for at least a few months, it gets tiring after like the 4th day.

Not the depression 😭

My parents to me one second after hearing about Jonny Kim: “why u no astronaut yet?”

(I’m Asian)

Anyone remember when serbia’s government (allegedly) used a sonic weapon against protestors? Maybe they should investigate that.

you know how it sounds like straight out of a tin foil hat dude’s rant about “government energy weapons”? except this is actually a thing we have now, conspiracies becoming reality, what a world we live in.

My son is 22 now

hmmm yea feels weird to talk to “Lemmy Uncles/Aunts” 😅 like my parents are probably about your age

Ah, I see, not a big fan of the Prime Meridian being in the center of everything, right? xD

I found this Food Theory video right after I posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkLk1qGdnGU

I read that theres a global phemonmeon ranging all the way from US to China and im not sure if the mainstream media is right and kinda wanna hear annecdotes. But I’m gonna assume mainstream media probably excludes “poor” countries (since they dont have the luxury that “rich” countries have)

Apparantly this issue is even worse in China because of high tech (in terms of smartphones and app usage) combined with the labor is cheaper so Gen Z Chinese can afford delivery services to be used frequently.

I guess small quadcopters do not count?

Cooking is different than using a washing machine. A washing machine is basically a “microwave that cleans your clothes”… as mean as in “put the stuff inside, press some buttons, and wait”, well with just one extra step of adding detergent but yea the point is you dont have to actively monitor it through the whole process, and have some leeway after its “ready” (cuz food just gets cold, and your clothes dont start rotting unless you leave it in there for like 5 hours or something)

As for “where I’m from” oh yea kinda reminds me, my parents are from China and I think Chinese cruisine is just complicated as hell, cuz like one time I tried like stir-fry some beef dish already marinated and ready to cook, and like I try to do it from memory of watching dad cook, but it ended up like tasting a bit “off” vs how he normally cooks. And yeah I have no clue how the marinating works, they just put a bunch of weird sauces and its done too fast I cant even remember which bottles of sauces and I was standing too far away to see the label on them.

I could roughly make a Tofu dish thingy but its like barely 50% of how my dad made it, then I think he got older and in like a few years, food quality started to deteriorate too, I lowkey think he was just like omg why is my son so stupid, eh I dont even feel like cooking and so less effort got put into it cuz he was tired, tired of having kids lolol 💀

I think Asian households just creates a “distance” that makes it hard to be like “omg dad teach me how to cook” cuz if you mess up they’re gonna have the Tiger Parent Death Stare.

The earliest I remember useing the internet is in a Brooklyn Public Library trying to play games that I see other kids playing (I remember them as being Minecraft and some FPS games that ran on Unity on a web browser, as in like stuff you’d find Facebook games, Kongregate, etc…) but having never used the internet before, kinda struggled with it at first

I was 8 and it was 2010

I feel like statistally you’re more likely to get a coup and the coup plotters and trying to prevent civillian resistance as in “please do not notice these collumns of tanks trying to takeover, totally nothing nefarious happening, nothing to see here citizen, move along” than some mysterious “if you look outside, you die” movie plot. So I’m probably pulling out the camera to record whats probably a once in a lifetime event.

Problem is, the idea of “moving out” becomes an even scarier thought (I mean on top of the cost of rent issue), like the first thought that comes in mind is just “omg could I even survive in this world solo?”

“Didn’t like food” 😭

I remember thinking that instant raman noodles were delicious cuz mom was terrible at cooking and dad who knows how to make a few decent dishes was busy at work often times, and so the “good food” included

1. The Mcdonalds around the corner (kid-me loved it, its basically my impression of “American food” at the time lmfao)
2. Roast Duck/Chicken or Cha Siu from a nearby Chinese American restaurant + rice from the rice cooker at home
3. Of course the aformentioned instant ramen
4. Some weird canned fish thing from Asian Supermarkets, i dont think its very nutritious and its not very good to taste but its just that you eat it with rice and the rice is what fills your stomach
5. “Fermented Bean Curd” + Rice

Average childhood in a poor immigrant Chinese family with parents that worked all the time

But um yeah I sure¹ can cook. Um… lets see:

• I can pan-fry eggs and then just cook rice and eat the fried eggs with rice and call it a meal…

(¹No I cant really cook unless you call these pathetic meals “cooking” 😅)

to be fair, if DSA gets more mainstream, the lowkey “Ukraine-skeptic”/“PRC praising” views would soon become a minority in the foreign policy area while at the same time maintaining the same left-leaning domestic policies
