The fuck?

Lol no idk what the hell you got that from.

救護車

救 --> save/rescue
護 --> protect
車 --> car/vehicle

aka: Ambulance

An ambulance is a life saving car protecting you, or to abbreviate it, an SCP.

An ambulance is an SCP confirmed.

Mandarin-Chinese:

冰 = ice
箱 = box
冰箱 = ice box (refrigerator/freezer)

or in Cantonese:

雪 = snow
櫃 = cabinet
雪櫃 = snow cabinet (refrigerator/freezer)

usually 上層 “upper level” is used to indicate the freezing part (急凍/雪藏), like where you out ice cream, for example; 下層 “lower level” is used to refer to the non-freezing part, like where you put fruits, for example. Because every fridge we had was designed like that.

Also fun fact: 電腦 means “electric” + " brain" (aka: computer)

飛機 = “flying” + “machine” (aka: airplane)

Feel free to ask questions. I’m bored and wanna see how much I know.

Wait a minute, this sounds suspiciously familiar… I think I heard about the psudoscience of a government measuring the size of people’s heads to try to find out their ethnicity… somewhere in Rwanda… 🧐

These logic problems reminds me of those Ted-ED riddles.

(anyone here watched Ted-ED videos? its not just me being weird right?)

Mom: “Y UR MEMES ALWAYS USED WRONG WONG?”

has depression

Parents: “I guess we weren’t strict enough, now you are a loser that goes to doctors and dependent on pills”

Thankfully, I have siblings

I have a sibling too, even more toxic than my parents. Single-handedly caused my first Adverse Childhood Experience that I can still remember to this day, the fear, the loneliness…

My dad would occasionally tell us stories from his childhood. Stuff like his dad grabbing him by the shirt collar and repeatedly punching him in the face.

Bruuuh. I feel like I really shouldn’t complain that much. Some of y’all got even more fucked up childhood than I did. My parents never hit me that hard, it was merely slap on my hand. So like… in an “overton window” where corporal punishment is socially acceptable, its actually kinda tame in comparison. I’m never gonna be like “okay” with that idea, its still very… unacceptable regardless of how society views hitting your kids, but like, to be fair, judging by that standards, on that “overton window”, I didn’t get abused that badly. My parents also didn’t drink or gamble, so… I guess I got lucky the abuse is mostly just emotional. (still… depression is kinda slowly making me wanna kms)

Technically, my parents needed a permit from PRC government before they could give have children (has nothing to do with “whether you can parent or not” tho, its a birth control thing).
准生證 (baidu site via google translate)
Wikitionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/准生證#Chinese

But anyways, they violated the One Child Policy (it was in effect when I was born) so… here I am… my existence is technically “illegal” lol

I’ve told this story before, but basically, I was like… idk 10 maybe, and I was in NYC, waiting for the subway with my mom, then this mini-earthquake happens (like very very minor), we didn’t notice because the subway masked the shaking, so my mother coincidentally tried to make a phone call, call failed, IMMEDIATELY SCOLDS ME AND BLAMES ME FOR “BREAKING” THE PHONE. What actually happened was people were all trying to call because of the shaking so phonelines got clogged 😭 (this was before 5G, so congestion was a huge issue in big city). Like bruuhhh, literally got blamed for something a (mini) earthquake caused, so at the time I was thinking like: why is the ‘god of the earth/ground’ messing with me?

Honestly, I feel like I have repressed memories, I mean, the fear of the voice of yelling overshadowed whatever I supposedly “did wrong” and I never really encoded those into memory, since the fear was so overwhelming.

I mean, one of the things I do remember is she always ask me to help her with something, usually like translating letters, or help fill out forms in English, and since I learned English at school, she just forces me to translate stuff, and I kinda got tired of it sometimes, try to not do it or be like “later” then she gets mad.

Hmmm… ugh I can’t remember, must’ve been just too repetative my brsin refused to encode it.

I remember my older brother fight with me all the time, so we both get yelled at. Like we’d fight over who gets more food or something, or something about fairness. (poverty problems lol)

Or perhaps there is some school-related problem and my mother would argue with teachers, then use insults against me.

They (especially my mother) say stuff like “細路仔要乖乖聽話” (“Kids like you need to be more obedient”?) or “點解你死都唔聽我哋教你阿？我哋喺為你好，隔離屋會唔會理你阿？” (“Why would you rather die and not even listen to what I have to teach you? I am looking out for your interest! A neighbor wouldn’t even care about you!” (because she is my biological parents and the “the only person in the world that cares about me”))

Also, she tells me: 世上只有妈妈好，没妈的孩子像根草。(Only mom is the best in the whole world, a child with no mother is like a blade of grass.) Basically it’s sort of like: Your wellness depends on me, if I die, your life will be miserable, you should thank me.

@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world sorry to tag you, but you speak Cantonese so: have your parents ever said stuff like this? Standard Cantonese family bullshit right? Tell me this isn’t just me?

Gen Z is also more receptive of Socialism

Its how Mamdani won

THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen_Z_protests

I don’t know what we can actually do

Make it easier for Chinese Nationals to study abroad, educate them on the idea of government transparency, separation of powers, checks and balances, the idea that government legitimacy comes from the people, idea of social contract, etc… Hope they bring back the knowledge to fix the country from within.

(Btw, Overseas Chinese helped topple the Qing Regime and ended monarchism.)

murdered some PLA soldiers

people died in clashes between police/military and protestors

In the Xinhai Revolution, they killed Qing troops. I don’t see anything wrong with it.

So now “violence bad”? I thought y’all are advocating for Americans to overthow the US regime. So… is violence okay or no?

I’m gonna quote your leader:

革命无罪，造反有理！

Both CCP and US Republicans are evil, but republicans are also stupid.

Evil would obviously win against Evil+Stupid

LA Police Brutality: Cop uses flamethrower against peaceful protesters (Colorized)

To give you an idea of my age, I’m still young enough to get drafted to the US military. I watched T2 when I was a teen, like about 10 years ago, give or take. That movie is one of my favorites. It doesn’t feel that old from my PoV.

I just duckduckgo some youtube downlaoder sites, paste the link, wait for download, then watch using VLC. Not seamless, but whatever, I can read a wiki article while I wait.
