Sites don’t show the precise line that’s being sung. I lose track especially if it’s a foreign language.

If I’m still asleep, why do I see what’s around me? Am I hallucinating?

This is blatant bigotry against artificial lifeforms.

I’m being oppressed — mods pls ban this human scum

/j

Oh no, anyways

opens VLC to watch stuff I already downloaded a few days ago

Idk I kinda roll around lmao

Its basically a massive “you are not alone” statement.

Because if the protests stops happening, people will start to feel like they are the only freedom fighter in a sea of authoritarians, then they might lose the will to fight, or even stop thinking about it, they’ll think: it’s futile, why bother resisting, tyranny always wins. That’s why tyrants always want to shut down protests, they don’t want words to spread, because eventually the anti-tyranny sentinment evolves, and even the most peaceful of protests could become a revolution that will cause the downfall of tyrants.

Edit: I want to share something interesting about lingustics: In Chinese, “political demonstration” is translates as “示威”, 示 means to show, 威 means force, 示威 is literally translated to “show of force”.

[示威]
(1) to show power; to show one’s might; to show one’s state of being intimidating

That’s what this is. We’re proving to the government that we have the numbers on our side. “Comply with demands or risk escalation” is the message. Americans have always been very rebellious, its one trait I always loved about Americans, I have hopes.

The worst part about fediverse is there is not enough users for discussions about a specific tv show or anime 😕

Social media for antisocial people

Yes I am an alien. Its why I have an alien registration number. (sorry dumb joke lol)

But anyways, my childhood experience has been very alienating, always getting bullied.

Lol its a hate speech site, nazi bar. They literally use n-words. As someone from a family of immigrants, I don’t deal with bigotry like “go back to your country”, so no thanks, you can go enjoy the toxicity if you want lol.

how many of her threats has she actually acted on in the past?

Never actually done anything. Still terrifying to hear from a parent. I still remember that time when I was no even 8 year old yet, when my brother practically chased me out of the house. It was the most alone I’ve ever felt in my entire life, nobody to help me. My (former) country was dysfunctional at the time and I don’t think a “CPS” even existed. Those memories have been stuck on my mind recently. Being alone for those few hours were the scariest moments of my life, I haven’t even existed for that long yet, and my world was already in chaos. Even just those words, even empty threats are fucking terrifying. I try to sleep, I’m halfway asleep, for about like idk 10 minutes, then the dread comes in, sleep paralysis, with the fears of that day + all the shitty events that happened in my life all just coming back as if a huge bear just pounced on me. I couldn’t move (again, sleep paralysis), my heartrate goes through the roof, once I fully wake up from the sleep paralysis, I feel as if I just ran away from a fucking bear attack or something.

The first time I was restrained wasn’t actually the time when I got falsely accused of instigating a fight at school, it was way earlier. My older brother had a fight with me when I was probably somewhere around 5-8 and he fucking used those plastic zipties and ties me up. It was a long time ago, but those memories never went away, the memories are here with me after all these years, a whole decade and a half later. Law enforcement is so fucking terrifying. I hate being trapped in a place and unable to move.

Every time I watch people having a normal relationship with family, I just cry in happiness for the family, even if its in fictional media, and I just delve more into my memories and try to imagine an alternate timeline. Tears are always in my eyes, but sometimes the emotion part of my brain is so drained its hard to even properly cry.

I wonder if thing like lead or other food poisonings have turned my family into the way they are. Food regulations were very lax where I was from. Even baby formulas have fakes, nobody trusted baby formulas, they even had to smuggle in foreign baby formula. It wouldn’t be surprising if its just chemicals fucking up society so much.

I’m from mainland China and I think most westerners believes two of the extremes:

1. That China is very very poor, similar to North Korea. They probably think as if its still Qing Dynasty or something.

Nope its nowhere near that bad.

Or

2. China is so ahead of everyone, so futuristic and completely crime free.

Nope, also not true.

The truth is somewhere in between.

WeChat seems to be invite-only, at least the last time I messed around with it.

You pretty much need to know someone to even sign up for a wechat account. Because supposedly, WeChat was infested with scammer accounts so this is one of the ways to minimize fraud, because you need an account in good standing to open another one, and if you do shady stuff, the investigators can just asked whoever invited you for your real identity. And of course, privacy intrusion is always one of the goals, anti-fraud is just one way to justify their policies.

I LOVE BIG BROTHER.

And I’m not saying that because of my recent silicon implants, no, that obviously have nothing to do with it.

I love my country, I love my leader, may it re-reign f-for a mi-million years 😵‍💫

W-what? m-my speech p-pattern sounds like I’m… I’m b-being remotely con-controlled? No, honey, ofc-course not. 🤖

So… conservatives hate China so much, yet copies exactly what China does? 🤔

Like AM/FM?

Pretty sure those are effectively defunct except for constant adverts or emergency use.

I mean, people used to use Shortwave Radios to receive info from foreign countries when they live in an authoritarian regime, but nowadays, most of those Shortwave radios got shutdown and now its filled with religious broadcasts and conspiracy bs. People just use a VPN for foreign info these days. AM/FM is going through the same fate.

Lol, I type the words the way I imagine my self spreaking it in my head, so I always use the filler words and silences like “um” and “…”, comma is a short pause, a “…” is a slightly longer pause. “so” always automatically has a pause after it, but sometines I also add “…” to indicate a longer pause like: “so… what did you do this weekend”
