Get rich quick scheme for me: Don’t piss off mom and win her favor so she includes you in the will and not just leave you out of it and give it all to your abusive older brother.

That means following your parents footsteps, obey their every order…

So yea…

Not exactly “quick” but it is a way…

It’s also a stressful small bussiness… lots of tax forms, bussiness licenses, court cases, dealing with clients/customers… possible people who hold a grudge against you and do vandalism or attack you, or… racists… like LA Riots… really need Rooftop Koreans but we don’t got them in my area… I really do not trust police to protect us… they do not protect small bussinesses, they only protect the 1%, which we are definitely not a part of

Or I could run away from all this and attempt to have “freedom” from my family, … and… risk going homeless…

I love life… so fun…

There’s a valentines day?

Lol I forgot that was even a thing…

cuz I just go through it as usual… alone…

like I never even had an urge for romance… am I “broken”?

Am I Asexual/Aromantic?

Idk, probably, I never looked at a girl and be like “omg I wanna fuck” like I feel like I cringe every time I see a romance subplot in media…

So yea maybe I’m just “not normal” according to society

Same with guys too, so no, I’m not gay, I just have a broken brain from childhood trauma I guess.

I never know what romance is like… never attempted it… I feel like I crave parental love and true friendships more than romance.

epstein file un-redacters where u at?

我是美籍华人

我跟你说，我妈跟我讲：“这些政治的事，我们平民没办法改，别再担心这么多啦”

我估计在大陆的人大部份都是这种 “不管黑猫白猫，捉到老鼠就是好猫” 的态度

我对大陆没什么希望啦，心已死了

根本就不想再回国了

说什么革命。。。 太天真了吧

还不如带着包袱离国吧

起码要五十年才能推翻中共

Idk… she says “同我傾偈” I think its more like “have a chat with me” because she think I’m “becoming autistic” because in her view, I’m just socially isolated and never talks to anyone… but the issue is, I stuggle with speaking Cantonese and she doesn’t understand English if I actually have a deep conversation. So… yea… my parent’s had a child that used to be Chinese, now has practically became a foreigner to her. Like language barrier is so weird… like sometimes a family is partially assimulated to the new country, then family kinda falls apart because of cultural conflicts within the family.

Everyone in my house uses Chinese as their device system language, I am the only one that uses English as my device system language… so yea they set their printer in Chinese and like… before we had money for individual devices, we used to share a laptop and iPad and its in Chinese, and it sort of hurts my brain a bit… I mean I could read it, but its very uncomfortable to read Chinese.

I dont think children of immigrant can really form a deep connection with their parents… especially as they grow older…

So yea… conversations… its like talking to strangers sort of…

I read stuff in English, since its where I have the best conprehension, then I try to talk to parents about it and its like: um…

So I talk like a 2nd grader in Cantonese.

LMFAO, you remember that post? 🤣

She would just be like: “You are a MALE, why don’t you learn from dad how to fix stuff” and belittle me. (like what lmfao, dad doesn’t even know how to fix it which is why shits is broken all over the house)

Cat watched squid game and dont wanna play anymore

what to do with my parents after they die

No wayyy

My parents would just be like “啋，大吉利是” (or the 台山話 equivalent of it which i have no idea how to type it) and tell me it’s “晨早流流, 唔好意頭” or something and tell me to stop talking about death.

They literally refuse to buy houses that ends with a number 4 (I mean like the address number) 🤣

My Paternal Grandmother died and then like you can’t even talk about spending less on the funeral, cuz then Paternal Grandfather gets mad…

lmfao what

those coffins cost like 幾萬美金 what the fuck

funerals are scams, my dad got so mad when I suggested to just toss grandma in the trash lol (I said it as a joke)

Btw how close are you with parents?

I used to cuddle with mom when I was a kid, and I used to sleep in my parents bed even up till middle school age… is that like… normal?

Cuz I did a google search and it says Asians are typically “not that affectionate”

but then now I get older, and not an adorable little boy anymore, mom said “以前細個好乖呀，而家越大越唔聽話”, and I feel like my parents just hate me now

Life feels so depressing without 母愛 😭

me irl

Send Bobs

Oh there is a national emergency.

Their emergency is “threats to national security” such as foreign-born non-whites like me, cuz half of the country doesn’t care about constitutional violations and authoritarianism

Linux+LUKS and GrapheneOS

Reminder that you’d be going to another legal jurisdiction, don’t be an arrogant Westerner and assume your “Constitutional Rights” apply there. If they ask to search your devices, and you refuse to unlock it, they can do anything from deportation to potentially jailing you. Just keep this in mind. You may not have a “right to silence” there.¹

(¹I am not a lawyer)

You can’t fix legal issues with technological solutions.

Wind turbines aint ugly, you can simply fix the picture by just moving your mom out of frame

The FBI agents that would be willing to do something probably already got purged…

Report and move on

I mean… internet jannies are supposed to do their jobs and sweep away the trash, no?

(no offense to the actual good mods xD)

DEFAULT WEB UI

I use it every day lmfao

Shortcuts…

A human on a keyboard attached to a device while its unlocked can navigate to a webpage just bypressing keys, so malicious USB can just do what a person can do, but automatically.

It probably works much better on a computer after the user walks away, it’s a bit harder on a phone since most people instinctively presses the power button to turn off the screen so it autolocks (since you usually put it away in your pocket, so its muscle memory), but for a computer, there are certain people that just walks away to the bathroom or something and leave their device unlocked… so a person with access to a keyboard connected to that computer can do stuff on it… same as a script on a chip that sends keystrokes to the computer…

My parent’s WeChat keeps telling them that “illegal immgrants are living in hotels and taking all the benefits…”

So they keep regurgitating “immigrant bad” viewpoints…

…

We a family of immigrants… (we’re legal but still, those in power doesn’t care about the difference)

there are a lot of xenophobes of a certainoarty that wants us gone…

We are not white…

My mom was literally the one that first taught me about the Chinese Exclusion Act…

🤦‍♂️

Protip: Don’t be anti-inmigration when you are an immigrant.

No permission needed for a keyboard to open up a malicious webpage.

Yes a keyboard. Your USB cable wears a trench coat that says “Hey I’m a Keyboard, lemmy in”

At least a dick can be useful to create life… an LLM can never become life
