  Less weird than people “having a conversation” with chatbots. At least animals actually have a soul. They might not fully understand what you say, but they can hear the tone of your voice and perhaps, maybe, detect facial expressions (maybe).

  I mean I don’t understand what meows mean, but its always lovely. The different pitchs/tones of the meows almost feels human, so lovely.

  Damn, sorry to hear about that, now I’m starting to realize just how much more fcked up the scale of “good parent” vs “bad parent” is, mine are shitty, but far from the worst, so in a way I kinda lucked out. My parents aren’t that crazy, thank goodness, and I still have good memories of them, just kinda relationship-wise detached because of life circumstances. Basically, the older I got, the more school stuff kinda drained my energy, depression slowly built up, parents busy with their small bussiness… so eventually relationship just kinda silently fell apart, with the occasional “parents yelling at me out of frustration” sprinkled on top, clock hasn’t stuck midnight yet, hasn’t gone nuclear, still sort of a “cold war” in terms of relationship.

  Damn, the “FBI Friends” is wild, again, sorry to remind you of that again.

  Communism is revolutionary, Socialism can be reformative.

  In the context of the United States, Democratic Socialism is perfectly compatible with the constitution and the ideals of freedom and democracy; Communism, on the other hand, requires overthrowing the existing institutions which make it incompatible.

  Most historical “Communist” movements are vanguardist, and vanguardism doesn’t end well, they end up being authoritarian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Year? In this economy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The romanization is how it’s read in Japanese.

  Chinese sounds different (each variant or “dialect”, sounds distinct from each other, but all uses the same Kanji characters (Japanese Kanji originated from the same origins as Chinese Hanzi; Kanji literally means Hanzi (漢字))

  When I was a kid and I watched Detective Conan in the Mandarin dub, I they just pronounce the Kanji in Mandarin and that’s their official translated name.

  Hypothetically, if Japanese didn’t make modifications their written script, they would probably be all using Kanji and it would just feel like another “dialect” of Chinese, it would be much easier to learn, since you’re just substituting sounds and not leaning it from scratch. (Which means, hypothetically, I could watch Anime without subtitles lol)

  Chinese variants are kinda interesting. I haven’t spoken Mandarin for like 15 years, but because I speak Cantonese at home, I kinda “maintained” the overall language, so I could still form a Mandarin sentence by simply imagining the Chinese characters (or rather, the concept of the characters), then substituting the sounds with Mandarin sounds (I still kinda remember the pronounciations)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Year? In this economy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In America, someone like me would’ve been casually get called a “chink” in 1995 (I’m Chinese American)

  don’t even think the 1995 America would’ve elected a Black Man… that’s how racist society used to be

  fuck that era, fuck the past.

  The past isn’t as pretty as you think.

  Sorry, don’t wanna bring up race, but like… I feel like this is a very white-centric viewpoint.

  January 1, 2026 will be the beginning of a new tomorrow, for NYC, and soon, the rest of America. They can throw money all they want, but as NYC has show us, we can defeat big money. Choose hope, not despair.

  Lol, you’re fine, there’s no karma here. relax. xD

  Downvote is against the post, not against the user.

  Usually around the fediverse (aka: platforms like Lemmy) are more left-leaning, so by default, people assume you’re trolling, but it’s fine. In the English language, some people ask questions that seem innocent, but is secretly trying to push an agenda. People just assumed that it was what you were doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You need like near perfect internet for that to work. Lag is very painful even as of now. Nobody in a developing country, or even just a less-developed neighborhood in a developed country, would be able to play.

  Wanna play on your steam deck in the subway? Nope (afiak internet still non-existent tunnels, or very shitty if it exists). Going on a trip to some remote place and wanna game a bit? Nope. Boring flight? Nope.

  People are gonna hate it.

  Eh, I remember just googling space stuff and absorbing info and that alone had enough dopamine.

Unlimited information.

  I’m friends with me, myself, and I. And the my totally real, non imaginary friend in the corner of the room that everyone else keeps ignoring like doesn’t exist.

  Okay but seriously, no lol, I just dive into memories and watch my younger self be happy, and I just cry out of nostalgia.

  You can also sort of record your voice and talk into a microphone as if you are leaving it for someone to listen to in the future, imagining your audience there in the present with you, and just talk/monologue about life as if you have a friend right there. Sort of like documentary-style you know.
