  Yea but like how do you know what the cops are thinking. They could assume its a “self-report” if they can’t find any suspects. I watched a documentary where the boyfriend was immediately their #1 suspect, but thankfully they later found evidence that someone else did it, and that he wasn’t involved with his girlfriend’s disappearance. That could’ve turn out poorly if the cops were being dicks.

  POV: When you’re the socially awkward kid in school during the mid/late-2010s and you don’t have a smartphone to be in group chats, so nobody wanna talk to you since they view you as “the loser who doesn’t even have a phone”

  I feel like one of these days, some corporation will lobby the government to make piracy a felony and literally send swat team to people’s houses. That’s how dystopian the future will get. Mark my words.

  I mean, does anyone above age 18 even have any evergy at all?

  I’ve watched more gameplay than my total gametime combined, its more relaxing and for horror games, its less stress on the heart.

  The thing about language is that you kinda have to start from a young age. The older you start, the more difficult its gonna get.

  I was born in Mainland China, I immigrated to the US before I turned 10. It was difficult at first, but now I speak fluent English (American English) with no noticeable accents according to my classmates in highschool.

  I wouldn’t say to “give up”, but like… have realistic expectations.

  I’m never gonna learn french or german to nearly as good as a native speaker, not in this lifetime at least. If I hadn’t immigrated that eaely, I’d never have the same proficiency. My brother who’s just a few years older than me is horrible in English. But honestly, he’s an abusive piece of shit that I feel better at the fact that I have better English proficiency than him (sorry to bring up my family drama, I’m going though a lot in life and kinda wanna vent a bit)

  I remember my mother telling me that if I don’t get staright A’s, she was gonna regret it, and my dad told me: “Don’t make me regret fucking your mom last night”. I spend the next 9 months planning for school, and the next 18 years trying so hard to be top of my class. Never had any fun. Wtf even is this “video game” y’all talking about. -10/10 would not recommend.

  I doubt foreign intelligence agencies need to do this and leave physical traces. They’ll just get pegasus from israel’s “NSO Group” and send it to everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the solution to QR code phishing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That wont be a solution in the future.

  China used QR code scanning to control movements during covid (although I think its reversed, its the people who show the qr code to the officials who scan it), eventually, these type of digital ID checkpoints are gonna be all around the world just like surveillance cameras. Wanna get access to a building, need an app on your phone. Wanna drive a car? Open the app. Wanna take a bus? Open the app. cops being dipshits and asking for your digital ID to verify your legak status or else they send you to the gulag/concentration camps? Open the fucking app and verify. (Its not USA-specific either, Germany is doing border checkpoints too)

  Cars have radios now, you can even survive without internet connection (to fill out the job application) and a phone number (to have banking).

  Welcome to the future!

  I learned Mandarin in school when I was a kid before immigrating to the United States, I wanna answer this question, but confused on what you are actually asking about.

  But there are some examples I can think of on top of my head (which were learned later on, not in school):

  中国共产党 = Communist Party of China

  Which shortens to:

  中共 which in English would be “CPC”/“CCP”

  中 is from 中国 (China), and 共 is from 共产党 (Communist Party)

  中华民国国军 (Republic of China Military) --> 国军 (National Army) which refers to the military controlled by the Kuomingtang

  In Taiwan:

  民主进步党** --> 民进党 (Democratic Progressive Party --> DPP)

  I’m unaware of any “you --> u” short hands.

  In my household when the minute hand is pointing at 3 (15 minutes), its referred to as 三个字, 字 meaning character.

  So for example, if its 12 PM and you have an appointment at 1 PM, and travel takes half an hour, then my parents would say to leave by “五个字” (“Five Characters” aka: when the minute hand points at 5 on the clock, which is 25 minutes)

  So basically instead of telling to leave by 十二点二十五分 (7 sylables), its 五个字 (3 sylables)

  I’m not sure if this is universal or just my household being different.

  I think many Chinese people don’t type text, usually my parents and the older generation aren’t good with typing pinyin and just leave voice messages (on Wechat). Idk what the younger generation does, since many of the younger Chinese people I’ve ever spoken to are Chinese Americans who grew up here.

  When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

  We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
