    I’m in Asia. I can’t speak for everyone but the people I know distrust the CCP much more than the US government. Sure, the US is far from blameless, but at least over here the CCP has a much worse reputation. I guess that’s one factor.

    Another is more than a few people seem to think Meta is strictly a private company while tiktok is somehow being used/controlled by the Chinese government.










  • Anyway, those who do this are well-aware of the logic. You pointing it out like you’re the first person to think of it actually makes you look like an idiot lacking in self-awareness.

    Very well said.

    Similar situation here. Grandma and grandpa from my mom’s side were broke af and were from the countryside. Still bred like rabbits. Did everything they could so their kids can finish school and now all of them are successful. I’d even go so far as to say their morals are in place (a few of them provide for poor kids despite having families).

    Edit: IDEK why I forgot but i literally have an aunt with 8 kids. Can’t even remember all of my cousins’ names. They’re doing extremely well today. Better than me, tbh, and i only have one sibling and we were middle class growing up.

    ngayon nalimutan na pinanggalingan nila by being judgy assholes.

    There’s a sub i know of that’d downvote the f out of this statement. Glad I’m not there anymore lmao.

    Yep. During my very short (6 mos) stint as a tech support rep for Dell, I’ve learned to assume your customer is an idiot. Even when they’re using techie terms or jargon (and at times more so). Never assume other things besides that or you’ll probably regret it.

    You have to be very clear and precise. A single misunderstanding can take a simple problem a lot of time to get fixed.
