Crazy amount of side information you have there. The sterilisation part is wild

Not that wild. 150 years ago, during imperial rule, you get your head chopped off along with your close relatives for criticizing the emperor, this is tame in comparison.

Basically a lot of fetishes/kinks deemed “weird” by the government

Chinese child care is the adults going to work and the older generation (the grandparents) take care of the child.

Or sometimes my mother brought me to her workplace and I just sat there playing a video game on the portable dvd player thing with the games loaded on a dvd (or a cd, idk the difference) and with controllers attached to it. (She worked at an electronics store as a salesperson).

My parents were in an arranged marriage (the consensual type, I think, but there was high pressures to enter into a marriage), and they argue a lot.

When we first immigrated to the US, my maternal grandparents weren’t part of the “immediate” family, so they weren’t allowed on the immigration visa, my paternal side of the family (who are already in the US) didn’t like the responsibility of taking care of us (unlike my maternal side of the family), so my older brother who was around age 13-15 at the time when we first arrived, had to pick me up from school, and he resented having this responsibility, my brother didn’t really like me, we were frienemies (now, present day, actual enemies).

But eventually, like around 6th grade I just walked home by myself. Most of the time, the house was empty (other than my brother). I barely talked with my parents, never had real emotional connections with them.

Childcare in China isn’t that different from the US. (Well… in the US, kids get like a small child credit in their parent’s tax returns, and some food stamps, but that’s about it) The lower class is really very similar regardless of country. We the lower class people have more in common with each other than we do with the rich that runs our respective countries.

(If you are confused at the “Older Brother” part, my mother “illegally” gave birth to me. Then they sterilized her to make sure she can’t violate the one child policy again. I was literally not even supposed to be born.)

Very USA-Centric of you lol

USA =/= “The West”

Hong Kong about to become “Xianggang” (香港 in pinyin)

Not quite. Hong Kong is a devolved democracy, the PLA has already occupied since 1997 when the british handed it over.

This is more like the US sending troops to Los Angleas.

The PLA does not occupy Taiwan. They don’t even occupy Kinmen Islands that’s very close to Mainland China (not sure why they still haven’t taken it). They’ll need to send troops to even control it in any way, where as in Hong Kong, they are already there.

Democracies can also ban porn. See: South Korea, India, Ukraine, Malaysia, Singapore, Mongolia, etc…

Its a conservatism issue.

Yea… porn in illegal in China, erotic stories is just “word-porn” basically, this is nothing new.

This is what conservatism does. Same in China, same in the Deep South of the US (the only reason why porn is still legal-ish in the south is because of the first amendment, but the constitution is being eroded so that might not last long)

Conservatism is a disease that many countries still have. Take a look at this map:

Porn being legal is mostly only a thing in the “western world”.

Even if China has a liberal democracy like in the west, people would still elect conservatives. See democratic countries like: India, South Korea, Ukraine, Phillippines, Malaysia, they all made porn illegal despite being democratic.

I’m cisgender and probably straight (or asexual not sure tbh), but if I was trans or gay, my parents would’ve disowned me for being “mentally ill” and gave me zero inheritance. I mean, even currently with depression, my parents are already thinking about leaving me out of the will for being a “useless eater”, imagine if I was LGBT. For context, parents are from Mainland, PRC, currently we’re in the US, they are conservstives that just thinks everyone who’s is depressed is either “faking it” or crazy psychopaths and/or “useless eaters”. I hate my life.

Put this Karen on a global no-fly list lol

These are the same people that would’ve supported the trans-atlantic slave trade.

Soda goes 💥

I personally prefer Proton. They seem to get blocked less often.

(And yes I’m aware of the CEO controversy, he seems more like a Libertarian to me, not some right wing extremist)

Guys its great! My depression is solved. I now love President King Musk.

Long Live the King! I am totally not being mind-controlled right now. 😵‍💫🤖

Microsoft could become a cloud computing platform, and the machine itself would act as a Terminal.

Tbf, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 didn’t affect the other Samsung Phones. I think its fine.

Its still gonna have backdoor code to China.

So its Russia, China, and Kremlin’s Satelite Regime the USA, the Unholy Trinity of evil nations.

Me trying to pick her up.

But once I do, she’s like:

Then 5 second later, stuggles to get off me.

But also she never drinks from a water fountain. That fountain is now just collecting dust…

Next they are gonna take away amateur radio frequencies so it would be illegal to communicate outside of the internet.

Then its very easy to do censorship, just turn off power to ISPs and its information blackout.

USCIS can deport a non-citizen for accusations of drug use, including weed.

Let that sink in.
