- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 9 hours ago:
I remember not feeling in a good mood and I was sitting in the passenger seat and I pressed the steeing wheel to do the BEEP thing, cuz the car in the front wasn’t moving when they’re supposed to (like I think maybe red light just turned green or something and I was tired and wanna go home), and my parents was like “don’t fucking do that, Americans are crazy, they get easily pissed off and they’ll fucking shoot us dead”

They can still involuntarily commit you for having “crazy thoughts”.

I misread “sister” without the friend part and I momentarily heard Sweet Home Alabama in my head, just for a moment.
- Comment on How long does it take for pregnancy to become noticeable? 3 days ago:
She said she had to quit work like somewhere between 1-2 months before my expected birth.
Actually she said the management for the company she worked at found out, but sort of just decided like “turn one eye blind” and didn’t really report it so I got lucky…
Mom constandly tells me about women that get taken to hospitals for forced abortions…
And she tells me to “be grateful” for being alive…
And I sort of have an existential crisis over this…
She was supposed get checked for pregnancy every 3 months, but she told me she told another woman to do the exams in her name so they never found out about my existence until it’s too late.
TLDR: Basically she got away with it for like 7 months or so before the management at her work started to notice its a pregnancy. I don’t know if the average bystander even know or maybe assume its the first pregnancy or just didn’t care, idk if her coworkers knew, but I don’t think people would dig deep into other’s bussiness unless they really like snitching.

My mom told me when she had me, she told people that she was was just getting fatter so people didn’t suspect she is having a second child…
And she had to quit work as it got later into the pregnancy…
Somehow I lived… 🤷♂️

That’d a great disguise to hide the fact that you’re an ass assassin

- Comment on Anyone? 4 days ago:
In China they did.
They sterilized women who have more than 1 child so they literally did seize your ability to reproduce.
Sorry if this took a serious turn, but every time I think of my mom, that one child policy stuff comes to mind.

- Comment on What would you do if you knew your neighbor was an ICE/DHS agent? 5 days ago:
You can’t just like… move whenever you want… there’s a lot of packing needed.
So first step, install more cameras ASAP, at every angle, front and back. Sync to somewhere offside to secure the footage from deletion.
I mean it doesn’t really stop anything, but at least if something happens, we can go to the press (hopefully we survive to tell the tale).
I know a lot of y’all are gonna suggest violence, but since my entire family is not born here and we aren’t white, if we were to use violence, that would definitely fuel more xenophobia, so that’s not really an option for my family, we don’t have the [white + birthright] privilage like many lemmings on here to just use violence, or even any words that could be interpreted by people as “violent”. Like we’d have to keep a low profile.
The realistic thing to do is just mention in passing, that we are all legal and most of us have citizenship. I speak English without a foreign accent so I could probably get them to remain neutral and not immediately start aggression… Depending on how shit of a luck I get. I’d just have to hope they are the “less shitty” of the “ICE Agents”.
I’d have to act much nicer even tho I really don’t like doing that.
And like… really the plan is just to fast track all plans to move before any neighbor disputes happen.
(Not gonna move out of the country tho, this has been my home for a long time and I don’t feel like leaving)
I’d probably try to understand the psychology behind why they joined ice. I’d be like: “so… what made you choose that job?”
If they say something like: “violent criminals”, then I’d say: “well, idk why you get that idea from, but most of us just want to live a peaceful life here, most immigrants, even those undocumented, don’t do crime or cause trouble”
And to support this argument, I definitely cannot start attacking them, even if they are ice agents and I don’t like what they are doing right now, since that’d just make the far-right’s “immigrant = violent” rhetoric even stronger.
So if you’re white… and you feel like using violence… sure go ahead if you want.
But I’m non-white and foreign-born and I ain’t doing that violence stuff.

No. I have germophobia so I rather avoid touching stuff unless necessary.
- Comment on Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming? 1 week ago:
Lmao, I think in some Civ games, you can gift a nuke to AI-led Civs/City-States, then jusr watch AI-playes nuke each other
- Comment on Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming? 1 week ago:
I mean… I live in the US so I don’t wanna die lol. I hope civilians don’t get targeted bexause some dipshit dictator seized control…
But at the same time… as an ethnic Chinese… looking back in history… dropping nukes on Japan did quickly stopped their invasion of my homeland…
so…
like…
To be clear: I’m not condone the killing of innocent civillians…
But I can see both sides of the argument
The question is tho, is:
- Is the actions of the current US government is equivalent or worse than the damage the Imperial Japan has done in WW2?
- Does nuking the US actually stop it or just make it worse?
Key difference: Imperial Japan did not have nukes or counter-nuke capabilities. They also did not have a population resisting the regime. In contrast, the US is nuclear-capable and the leadership will probably retaliate. So you wont be bringing any peace. Also half of the country doesn’t even support the leadership. So it’s very hard to see such hypothetical strike as the same as nuking Imperial Japan, and that in it of itself was already controversial enough.
TLDR: In modern times, it’s idiotic to start a nuclear war against a country that’s also nuclear-armed.

- Comment on What should be emoji reaction for "me too" in the general sense 1 week ago:
Another example is if someone says “i signed this petition to support our Czech president who is protecting our democracy” then I want to say “yes I did it too”. Just a nod that we’re standing on the same side.
✊ I guess this could work in context of political empowerment / grassroot movements

- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 week ago:
Lol, I’m male but I don’t even feel “masculine”, whatever that’s supposed to mean.
My parents always tells me: “男子漢大丈夫，流血不流淚” (translates to “Real men would rather bleed before crying” or something like that) and I just fuckint cringe.
Like do they want me to die in a battlefield or something lmao
I just cried a lot when I just arrived in the US as a child. Cuz I got bullied a lot…
And my parents were abusive to me… and then they wonder why their child cries a lot…
But I also cry when I see the news and all the sad things that happen in the world.
Like… fuck “gender stereotypes”. The world is the way is it because we have men that want to act so tough and “masculine” and completely throw out their empathy and morals.
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:

- Comment on What if the USA decided to use another language as its *de facto* national language at it's founding? How would it affect the world? 1 week ago:
Lmao, skimmed the plot and it sound so wild.
Maybe I’ll look for a torrent.
Bizzare plots are kinda fun sometimes.
Like… it doesn’t sound like a “good” movie, per se, more like one of those “silly” movies imo, similar to “Olympus has fallen” or “Moonfall”, if you know what I mean. Sometimes these silly movies are kinda fun to watch, like ridiculous movie action is always funny.
- Comment on It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00 1 week ago:
You’d never see it reach 0 because its a warning
You’d be dead before the scientists have a chance to convene to make a decision to change it to 0
Its not a stat in a video game lol, it’s a human intepretation of the current geopolitical tensions, intepretations does not necessary mean reality.
- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 1 week ago:
Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers?
I mean, I’m Asian in white-majority country so that’s the major difference lol. But other than that, I don’t think so.
Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of?
Like what for example?
Have you had any issues dating?
I never had the urge to date, perhaps kinda asexual/aromantic
