  • My Tesla had this weird error message on screen

  • Its easy for me to avoid muskscum, but there are people living in remote areas where starlink is the only usabke internet option, or for people living in (non-us) authoritarian countries, or warzones, and they unfortunately would need to deal with the devil to gain internet access.

    I wouldn't blame someone for using starlink if that's the only option. (Like for example, Ukraine had to use Starlink because russia destoryed all the communications infrastructure)

  • Veteran Regrets Donald Trump Vote After Wife With Green Card Detained

    Jump

  • She has resided in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident for over 37 years and has renewed her green card twice since then

    You had 32 years to apply for citizenship and didn't? Then your husband voted for the xenophobe?

    Like wtf, are these people for real? Legit cannot believe people are this dumb.

    32 years to file for citizenship, for someone so obsessed with "law and order" why didn't they just do it? LOL

    Like do you think they should just get off so easy like a quick death, nah fam, make them work as punishment.

  • Problem with gun ownership, is that the oligarchs have created two parties to distract us: the far-right party to tell racist white people to get armed and that minorities are the enemy, and the center-right party telling the people who are left-of-center that only bad people get guns and brainwashing them to voluntarily disarm, and even making laws restricting guns (but guess what, gun control laws only apply where most minorities live, aint that convienient 🧐)

    So here we are, people center to center left are disarmed while the nazis be roaming around with guns.

    Do not fall for the center-right party's propaganda. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

    (And if you disagree with guns: Gun debate in the US happened in 1789, now its far too late.)

  • They won't release it.

    Because if they release a list with only Dem names on it, surely there will be a former Biden Admin official with a copy of the full unredacted list, and they could just release that as retaliation.

    Neither party would want to release it, because its M.A.D. at this point.

  • Trump says video showing items thrown from White House is AI after his team indicates it's real

    Jump

  • Here we go.

    Police britality against protestors is "AI", russian invasion of Ukraine is "AI", a video of trump telling his people to attack the capitol in 2021 is "AI", Tiananmen Square Massacre is "AI".

    Truth is over, you can shoot someone on 5th avenue in broad daylight, and say any video of the murder to be "AI".

    Welcome to the new era! Truth are lies and lies are truth.

  • Remember how in 2020 those comservative dipshits were being racist af calling covid the "China virus",

    Well now we can call this the florida virus, and since "floridan" isn't also an ethnicity, its fine to say that.

  • Don't worry, it's definitely not genocide, China is just being a little 'authoritarian' towards the Uyghurs

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, do you know where the phenomenon of Chinese people, outside china, referring to locals as ”外国人“ stems from？I’ve found this fascinating as in english you refer to yourself as a foreigner when you are in another country, not the locals.

    Idk what people using Mandarin say, I don't talk to Mandarin speakers a lot. In Cantonese, its "鬼佬" which is probably most accurately translated as "outsider", rather than "foreigner" (as in terms of nationality/citizenship). As for "外国人", I think people just conflate country with ethnicity, and also because the "国" (country) would be referring to the ancestral country, not the country they're currently at, so I assume it also is supposed to mean "outsider".

    These are bascially just a all encompassing terms to use to describe people who are not ethnically Chinese. And to clarify, I don't think these terms are inherently hostile, I think its more like not feeling welcomed/accepted by the local community. It can be used both positively or negatively depending on context. Its tribalism basically, because you're in an unfamiliar place and you feel like you want to stick together to survive.

    Because... think about it this way, Wong Kim Ark, was by default, denied of his birthright US Citizenship because he was non-white, and he had to fight a court case over it (he won, this happened all the way back in 1898). So imagine being in that time period, imagine all the discrimination and xenophobia, you can see why the "outsider" term would be used, right? I think this sentinment just continued down to present day.

  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

    Jump

  • My mother told me about an incident where a ethnic Chinese man (or woman? can't remember what I heard) in the US was going through the trash looking for those bottles/cans that you can sell for money (you know those that says 5 cent / 10 cent if recycled?), so there was a kid in the house who their parents left alone at home armed with a fucking gun and he started shouting at the man to leave, but he didn't understand English, so the kid shot and killed the man, claiming to "feel threatened". The shooter being a kid means there were no charges.

    That conversation basically set the atmosphere (as in, the mental picture that I have) of what America was like. Its probably one of the reasons why I (as someone who is also ethnically Chinese) have this self-imposed restriction of never going to a republican area or any racially homogenous areas (particularly those all white suburbs / rural places)

    I never looked it up, but let me know if you found an article that matchs what I was told.

    Fuck the police. ACAB.

    The whole time I was just worried about if I was gonna be deported, then I remembered my mother is a citizen so I also have derivative citizenship. But still, it triggered me so much, I was constantly ruminating/thinking about the alternate timelines where I got deported. Still think about it from time to time, heck, with the current ICE nazification, it can still happen right now. Police sirens scared the shit out of me, I could be just chilling playing a horror game, and then the siren blares through the neighborhood and I my heartrate goes even above being faced with monsters in a game (because the monsters in real life (aka: cops) are much scarier), I essentially go into fight or flight mode.

    Like I had so many traumatic events throught my life, this unlawful arrest was the final nail in the coffin, I feel like I have permanent brian damage.

    Parents have betrayed me, my brother has betrayed me, my country of birth betrayed me, now I'm in a different country and still dealing with authoritarian bullshit, like these corrupt pigs. Never felt like I have a safe place anywhere in this world, this world is hostile.
