So now Chinese who managed to bypass the firewall cannot access western sites behind Google’s new Captcha-wall?

Wow, great job, Google. 🙄

(I mean unless they managed to import a Googled-phone into China too)

Yea I know. I saw Project Hail Mary in an IMAX theater a month ago… so different…

So immersive…

Also so loud…

My favorite thing was that quiet sequence and the light flashing sequence

That was the first time I’ve been in a movie theater…

Also is this guy British? Lol, do British people talk like that. Its so funny to see them trying to be as insulting as possible while looking “professional” doing it. xD

Context:

8 years old was when my family immigrated to the US… probably also the factor of being in a foreign place…

Not sure if there any any immigrant parents that would just lets their kids roam free without supervision…

Noise-Cancelling Headphones…

not to mention any specific ones, just the general concept of it…

Everything sounds better, more immersive…

Also blocks out family arguments to varying degress of success depending on how much you spend on headphones…

Oh yea btw the first time I watched interstellar was on a cheap android phone with LCD 720p display using the phone speakers… 👀

On the other side of it, Bluetooth Speakers

Can sort of change the atmoshere of a room, feel slightly less “depressing”

“Earth Court? Mars Court? What Inner Court gives Belters justice?”

One of my most memorable quotes from The Expanse

Lol. My mom didn’t give me permission to be outside by myself until like 6th grade when she finally signed the permission papers to let me walk home from school by myself. (6th grade is still considered Elementary school where I live, still required parents to pick up as a standard protocol)

Cuz she was afraid of (a) kidnappings and (b) that someone would report it and then “CPS would come and take me away and I’d never see mom again”

That was like when I was 12 years old… whats that in Cat Years?

Oh the “hold your child’s (read: cat) hands (read: paws) when crossing the street” is gonna get a bit weird… (you’re gonna get scratched by “your child” (aka: cat))

Funny enough, I just read a wikipedia article with “Japanese” and “Javanese” in the same sentence… kinds breaks your brain a little lol

The original term I heard was “電腦製作” (literally as: Computer Generated)

Example: [X]係電腦製作嘅

Wait till we find a way to see into the past…

“Chronoscope Coordinates or didn’t happen”

Before that people would just dismiss photos of atrocities as CGI or something…

Or:

1. Install Chrome
2. Use it for the Web-USB thing to install GrapheneOS on your phone
3. Purge Chrome

(seriously tho, why doesnt that web installer thing work for firefox???)

$4500 in debt?

Now I kind a feel guilty…

Cant go in details, but basically: My parents owns the current house I live in, and they have small bussiness/investments and like has like a “small fortune¹” of assets… (¹not sure if I’m using that word right, I’ve been immersed in the English-language world since I was 8 but still feel like I don’t know how some wording/phrasing work lol)

Technically not mine stuff (not at the moment at least) but still… they’re still financially supporting me cuz I’m just depressed af and have no independence and suvival skills.

Sorry about your situation…

If a non-abusive mother or father has cancer and is on their deathbed, and their son refuses to see them, is that cold, unforgivable, and ‘wrong’? Would it be wrong if the son or daughter celebrated their death?

Forget the “Darth” in front of your username?

@grimreaper@sopuli.xyz this you? 🧐

Lol

Hispanic Americans have joined the chat (cuz they vote MAGA)

Most important thing is:

Votes should be out of ALL SEATS, not only those present.

Example: 101 seats in a legislature

51 Team A

50 Team B

Team B shouldn’t be able to just assassinate 2 of Team A to win majority. Fuck that shit. An empty seat should be treated as if it were a “no” vote.

The current system is basically favoring the side that supports political violence. And this shit is the same around the world. Just block your opposition from entering the building and voila! You get a majority.

Seriously am I the only one in the world that see this bullshit! Why are politicians so dumb? I should run this planet goddammit.

I actually have a GED

I got dragged into a fight where I defended myself and then I got arrested… (charges later dropped) so I just hated that school…

So easy, didn’t even need to study (no classes required, you just take a test, that simple), passed first time… it’s 4 separate test categories, I went two separate times, each time taking two subjects (I mean I coumd probably just marathon through it all, but didn’t wanna be overwhelmed). They don’t really have actual test centers run by the GED thing, they just tell you to go to a place they approved (e.g: a local city-university campus) and they have a computerlab and they sign you in to the online test… and you have to put all your belongings in a locker outside (especially phones)

So I passed them with “college ready” scores or whatever it even means…

(My school also did like night school for adults if they have like partial credits and they can finish school that way)

Since this was like Covid era, SAT requirements were dropped so Penn State accepted me with just the GED…

But then Depression fucked up my life…

AAAHHH fucking brain chemicals man, life sucks…

Also I’m Asian… really broke the sterotype of academic success… I don’t feel so Asian anymore :/

Oh btw about the dreams… I actually dream about Elementary School more…

Cuz my early memories of being this 8 year old Chinese kid new in America… I think I have a “younger me” trapped inside my mind that is still hiding in there, still feel scared of the world…

Bro is trying to play Amongus irl 💀

Except when it comes to healthcare and UBI, apparantly Americans don’t want to take any of that… 👀

I mean quick online search mentions the idea of local facebook groups to find people to do meetups with…

👀

sigh

Guess I’m selling my soul to corporate lmfao
