  • People in china make things with love too. Electronics, games, movies, shows, comedy, art, software etc.

    Fuck the government but the hate for the people in china is disgusting. I do get it. I do. The government is absolutely fucked and very oppressive.

    But i feel like a lot of people don’t see that a TON of american and european products are made in china too. And think “oh i don’t buy a chinese phone! Its made by abused workers!”.

    And then buy an iPhone. Completely forgetting that phone is made in the same factory but with an american logo on it.

    We need to be more focused. We can’t let people forget that the government and the people are not the same.

    I know people say the “chinese” or the “russians” or the “americans”. But we should say the government instead when talking about political conflicts. A lot of people read the “chinese” or the “americans” and see it as that ENTIRE country. People, government etc. As if it is all one singular thing.

    Its just sad and wrong to see them as one and the same.






  • Completely agree. I hate heat with a passion. My 2 biggest annoyances are lawn mowers being loud and neighbors outside all day with kids that scream their fucking lungs out. Just high pitched fucking screaming for hours on end.

    I know i used to play outside when i was little, but never did i yell and scream uncontrollably for fucking hours, driving anyone in a 200 meter radius fucking insane. Sorry i just don’t get it.

    Edit: im sorry if i sound like a boomer. Im autistic and the screaming is giving me a fight of flight reaction. Often i don’t care. But a family 2 houses down screams sooooo loud. Not even laughing or anything. Just pure high pitched screaming. And they will go on until 10pm or so every day if the sun shines.

    I use noise canceling earphones but i can’t and don’t want to wear those all day long.










  • I was at my parents house last week because i had to help them with their laptop. I told my mom about firefox and she was very confused because she doesn’t seem to understand that google chrome is a browser and that every browser can access google search or their banking site.

    It took a bit of effort to explain that firefox works the exact same but is safer and faster.

    She is now using firefox on her phone because i showed her ublock origin works with it to block ads.

    A lot of people don’t seem to understand that google chrome isn’t the internet and what exactly a browser is.
