    From what I'm seeing from Chinese students perspective, Australians seem about as bad as Americans and hate crimes have also ramped massively since COVID

    Not to mention Australian media isn't any less racist or hawkish towards Chinese

    I think it might be worth a lot of us looking for large plots of land that we have legal access too and learn to grow food and start communities that aren't reliant on western consumerism

    We wouldn't last very long or live a healthy life without modern medicine, medical professionals, or equipment/facilities. Anprim stuff isn't gonna work

    we're already at such a point, somewhat

    I agree, but they're still putting on a veil of stop asian hate

    Soon people will be supporting killings as long as they give some explanation of them potentially being a spy

    This rhetoric is already happening in Silicon Valley where a lot of my coworkers have been discussing how they want to report some of their Chinese coworkers to internal security and the FBl because they think they are "CCP" spies sent to infiltrate American big tech with the rational that suspected coworkers say they like Xi and that China is a better place to live than USA

    If a proxy war starts with China, shits gonna get bad instantly for the diaspora

    Canada went from not thinking about Indian immigrants to hating them in like 3 years despite 0 state propaganda against them

    Russians got hate crimed when they invaded Ukraine even though they're white

    If China doesn't get into any military fights, I'd give it like 10-15 years until Western citizens start lynching Chinese diaspora with little repercussions from the state

    Just look at how rampant the racism got from 2000-2010, then 2010-2019, then 2020-2024 for Chinese people. Gonna be exponential every year from now on especially with the state propaganda

    China already has 7nm chips which and close to 4nm. Samsung's flagship is a 4nm and Huawei's flagship with a 7nm is only a little weaker

    any drone big/heavy/strong enough to fly through a little wind, especially if they're carrying a live load will be relatively large compared to these smartphones

    ik there's other factors like heat and energy usage but those can be supplemented by other factors like better batteries, and is a much bigger concern for data centers and smartphones carried by humans all day long

    The Dems are constantly helping the wealthy oppress and exploit the poor and queer people are on average, pretty poor. Since the poor obviously suffer more from a stronger capitalist class, the Dems are effectively pushing queers down more than the rest of the population

    The average trans woman I meet is borderline homeless, all the things you've mentioned hardly matters to them if they can barely survive because of how difficult it is to just live in America

    How about removing every single barrier LGBTQ+ have to health care access?

    The biggest barrier queer people have to health care access is the lack of socialised healthcare, like everybody else. I don't know what barriers you're talking about but this is the biggest barrier for everybody in America. I think the average American with < $1000 in savings would rather have free doctor visits than whatever you're talking about. And again, because the average queer person is much poorer than the rest, this disproportionately affects them more

    OG Post - https://hexbear.net/post/3646648 I mean - consider for a second that we currently have the most comprehensive coding bootcamps in all of history, with the least hygienic nerds, best computer science, and all that. Any top FANG coder from the past decade could probably leetcode the fuck out of anyone ever before the year 1980. Isn't that wild? Dudes who have (probably) watched Rick and Morty could code circles around Albert Einstein or whoever the fuck. And it wouldn't even be close. ChatGPT and Co-Pilot is banned of course, but even if it wasn't, Sergei Brin isn't letting you even get close to that. I mean, speaking of Sergei, even tenured professors - paid nerds would shit their pants on sight if they saw Jack Dorsey going freakmode off the micro-dosed LSD. Ayahuasca Angle. Elon Musk - like what - he's a literal dork. But what about Mark Zuckerberg? He's a Harvard dropout. He made The Facebook. I think give him a month to optimize his efficiency and send him back in time. Hate to hand it to him, but he would crush.

    Zoomer here, will go to concerts alone once every few months because I have pretentious taste in music + the one friend I have with very similar tastes is a little agoraphobic Hell all 3 festivals I've been to have also been alone cause people flaking before a big fest is pretty common in general and happened to me all 3 times. Will sometimes try to meet people and hangout, sometimes not depending on what vibe I'm feeling So many zoomers who find out I do this look at me so weird but like what, am I just not going to enjoy myself and do something I want just because I don't have somebody to go with? I have a few friends that are 40+ and it sounds like they do stuff alone frequently. The ~30 year old friends aren't doing it a lot but they don't seem to have the same fear zoomers do either. I regularly run into 30+ yo ppl I know at an event there alone but never happens with zoomers

    Most important part of these tariffs: "The trade rule allows packages to be shipped from foreign countries directly to consumers or businesses without paying tariffs, as long as the shipments do not exceed $800 per recipient per day. The new proposal would strip that exemption from a wide array of products and most likely have a significant impact on large importers of Chinese goods such as Shein and Temu, two online marketplaces that have become popular with American shoppers." This trade rule being taken advantage of by Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein is the sole reason why significant amounts of Americans could still afford to buy a lot of consumer goods despite having their real wages crash year after year. This would genuinely trigger another cost of living crisis

    I feel I can def pretty accurately tell whether somebody works a tech or some business/finance/marketing/HR job just by the way they speak.

    So that if there's a big event like a Taylor Swift concert you couldn't go to and they detected you're most likely a fan, they'll gen AI a photo of you at the concert If you missed a Christmas gathering with your family, they'll gen AI one for you If like Japan but haven't been there yet, they gen AI a whole vacation album of you there They're literally trying to embed fabricated events into your life and brain lmao People are largely very excited for this idea.

    I have 450 sq ft that's on the ground floor. Like almost 0 elevation at all from street level. 100 year old building. I live a 10 minutes walk away from the Pacific Coast, SF climate Every time I wake up and go to the bathroom, I see 2-5 insects in it. 1-2 are cockroaches, rest are some other small thing. Flies maybe? Always see some cockroach droppings on sink counter that I have to spray and wipe down Every time I leave a room dark for a few hours and turn on the lights, I always see 1-3 insects During the day with lights on, I notice 1-4 insects per hour in various places excluding tiny fruit flies. Those I probably see like 5 times a day Problem has been getting worse since I've moved in but this is also the first summer I've lived through in this place And if I need pest control, how much work is it to have them come in? Should I just move apartments if I need them?
