No, cuz the dad ice agent would arrest the mom ice agent for trying to give birth to an illegal anchor baby and deport them to CECOT, then he’ll arrest himself for being affiliated with an illegal immigrant

Is this something I’m too “only have seen the internet post-2010” to understand?

Sources please

how would you deal with murderers, rapists, child predators

okay… interesting question…

and jaywalkers

Wat? 🧐

Coin flips are not random…

Its “random” to you because you are not that supercomputer, you are a mortal meatbag

I do

My parents don’t

Yeah you read it right, my mom just TOUCHES THE FUCKING SEAT THING… then touch the flush, and I DON’T HEAR THE FAUCET RUNNING

I called it out once, and she did washed her hands for THAT ONE TIME then proceeded to never wash hands for every subsequent bathroom use… also never used soap…

My Theory on why: My parents grew up in Rural China… their standards of cleanliness is probably much lower…

I mean if they have germophobia like I do, then you can’t even survive in the rural areas… if you know what I mean

Funny that they used to be the ones to teach me to wash my hands but now they don’t anymore… wtf

Counterpoint: Put the secrets in a physical file in a room that only a few authorized can enter, the people protecting it stand outside and shoot any unauthorized entrants.

Have problems you need solved?

Guns, lots of them

(And a nuke just in case)

:P

Because I’m trying to shred light on fucked up families…

Because I’m Chinese American and came to the US at a young age and this resonates with me,

Because I have seen how stressful my parents got…

Stuggling to make money…

Rent payments every 30 days…

And I have memories of mom yelling at me a lot as a sort of emotional outlet…

Because I, although I don’t know the history of this family, I can imagine what the immigrant experience is…

I could totally see a timeline where my mom would’ve lost control and murdered me when I was “misbehaving”

Is shocking how the difference between a struggling family that perservered and survived, and a crime scene that tore a family apart, is just that one moment of rage and losing control under a system that is so rough and causes so much stress and frustration.

My mom did not murder me in this timeline.

But here we have someone’s mom who did.

It’s just very… idk how to say this… intriguing(?) to learn the difference between my family and others… we all came from the same place… similar struggles…

Yet… such vast outcomes…

And I also sometimes envision a timeline where we have a “more perfect” family-dynamics.

Thanks pal, new phobia added to my list of ever growing phobias… 😭

願榮光歸香港 (Glory to Hong Kong) Protest Song during 2019 Hong Kong Protests…

(And… of course Youtube now age-restricts this video… was fine for the past 7 years… wtf)

Here’s someone’s reupload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe1gTPcWyds

The original lyrics in Cantonese are lit, the English version doesn’t even feel the same

This song is illegal in anywhere under PRC control, but I’m lucky to have to privilage to sing this as an Overseas Chinese

This is site is gonna be western-centric so I’d not even bother with those countries:

So my answer is:

Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guangdong Province become one nation

Republic of Yue (粵共和國)

Historically we came from a common group of people… so… this make sense lol

A lot of Vietnamese words are similar to Cantonese.

So we just make this a dual-language nation of Cantonese + Vietnamese (plus we’d give protected status for minority languages/“dialects” and allow schools in their regions to use 50% of the time to use their language/“dialect” only, the other 50% they have to pick either Cantonese or Vietnamese as the main language, and also the other one become their sort of like “minor” language studies in college terms… so this de facto means the Northern part of this nation use Cantonese, Southern part use Vietnamese as the main one…

So someone running for president of the Republic of Yue is legally required to pass fluency test in both national languages to make sure people are united…

Oh fun fact: the 粵 Chinese character (as in 粵語/Cantonese) representing Guangzhou and Cantonese related words, and the 越 Chinese character in 越南 (Vietnam) are pronounced the exact same in both Cantonese and Mandarin.

Anyways… I’m gonna tag my favorite HKer on Lemmy @NorthWestWind@lemmy.world

Hope you’d enjoy living in our Republic of Yue fantasy where Cantonese is a national language for once (can you imagine if Cantonese won the debate to become China’s official language? 🥹)

/non-serious of course… but this would be a very funny country… imagine Cantopop with Vietnamese sprinkled inside? lolol

你好，

Seems to only mention SSRI specifically, not about antidepressants in general

Also this: “suggested that the active ingredients in 10 of the most popularly prescribed antidepressant medications made a meaningful difference in only 15 percent of the patients who took them, almost always in those patients suffering from the most severe depression”

So yeah… that’s me lmfao…

BORTLES!

Plot twist: I AM THE AI, I just don’t know yet 🤖

(Terminator 4 has joined the chat)

It’s an SCP. The containment procedure is to livestream his location at all times and make it legal for everyone to beat him up.

I already have no clue how to jerk off anyways… never did it; I might already have it tbh lmao

I hope this means less Sinophonia and not copying the government’s authoritarianism lol

I wanna highlight this:

“Appreciation does not erase the racism that many Chinese people grew up with,” said Elise Zeng, 28, from Brooklyn, New York. A video she posted critiquing the social media phenomenon was liked by more than 36,000 people.

She recalls how during the COVID-19 pandemic she was afraid for her parents stepping out of the house because they heard about people getting attacked just walking down the street. At the time, many Asians reported being assaulted or verbally abused by people who blamed East Asians for the spread of the virus.

“Those experiences don’t just disappear because Chinese culture is suddenly cool and trendy,” she said.

I really hope my future children can go through school in the west without ever being called “ching chong” or kids do the racist “pull their eyes back” bullshit…

But like… the reality is: Obama being president for 8 years didn’t prevent George Floyd from getting murdered by a white cop.

Yea, it’s funny how I can find youtube downloaders more easily on Google, who owns Youtube and isn’t really fond of downloader sites, than trying to find youtube downloaders om Duckduckgo
