  • US-sanctioned Chinese tanker transits Strait of Hormuz hours after blockade

    Jump

  • Does sanction in this case mean allowed or forbidden?

    Cuz this stupid word has two contradicting meanings lol

  • Its illegal in the USA to advocate for the violent overthrow of the government, yet its legal to own and carry weapons that is meant to facilitate such acts of rebellion... 🤔

  • Lmao if everyone had a nuke, me and my older brother would've nuked each other the moment we landed in JFK and got our green cards...

  • Sorry, I don't wanna get accused of being a "CCP Spy trying to sabotage destabalize America" and then DHS will declare my family as foreign terrorists, then have ICE raid my house and deport my dad, a non-citizen.

    Cuz in this country, whenever a non-white person does something, everyone who looks like that is getting targeted in hate crimes...

    Then the entire Chinese diaspora community would be like: "Why did this loser have to stir the pot and ruin it for the rest of us?"

    This problem on the white dudes who voted him in.

  • Honestly, I didn't actually know about discourse markers until literally just now.

    Jump

  • Bruh...

    This is like... literally most of my comments...

    I type how I'd speak... like I actually just imagining the conversation happening irl and just type exactly as I would say it face to face

    except the "lol"s and "lmao"s, I don't say that irl xD

  • Why do I almost never see people flying drones?

    Jump

  • anything that’s not white, scare

    Tbf I also had black kids in school used the term "ching chong" against me...

    Idk why is there just so much casual racism that's acceptable against Asians, I mean like... its almost universally ragarded as unacceptable to be racist against black people, but the same standard isn't applied to racism against Asians... cuz society is like "Model Minority" and "White Adjacent"¹ so Asians get to be made a joke of

    Idk why... I could get bullied IN FRONT OF OTHER ASIAN KIDS and they will not stand up for me... 😭

    Where solidarity?

    (¹Very "white adjacent" iNdEeD... so much so that ahem Covid Anti-Asian hatecrimes... ahem)

  • How do I actually find a job that isn't retail?

  • Run for congress, be corrupt as hell, and seek a rich doner to support your compaign

  • Why do I almost never see people flying drones?

    Jump

  • I flew it for like a few months then I keep crashing it, or like have it gone too far and never been able to retrieve it... etc...

    (Not a fpv, but I still fly around for fun, not really doing much photography lol)

    And I kinda ran out of funds for this hobby...

    I still have a DJI Mini... something (3 or 4 idk) that's still fuctional I think... but nah, don't feel like it...

    the novelty died...

    I also never seen a drone irl before I got one... lol...

    I sometimes didnt feel like going to the park and so I flew it in my front yard, then the kids across the street got so annoyed with me and accused me of "spying on them"... and I'm no sure if they meant it as in the "you're a creep" type of way, or like the... um...

    "You're a Chinese working for the CCP spying on our country" type of way... 🤦‍♂️

    This is deep blue Philly...

    Now we have orange fuckface in office

    DJI banned(? only applies to new ones I think? still...)

    Trade war and politics stufff...

    Lile I always imagined people are just very Sinophobic for some reason after the "new sheriff in town" term 2

    Like I imagine white guys are just in a "red scare" mode in their brain...

    Or maybe am I just paranoid and imagining things?

    Paired with my depression...

    Meh...

    I'll just do other stuff lile writing... which I've still been procrastinating for like months... (I like to imagine myself being a writer but the not actually concenstrate enough to do it lmao)

  • It's tax season and my parents don't really feel like paying this... Alright Lemmy, what should they do? 👀

    Jump

  • Eh, I think driving is still cheaper...

    According to google: 150 miles (approximate distance) for a Toyota Rav 4 is approximately $20 in gas one way... $40 both ways... saving $14 xD

    (wear and tear blah blah its not immediate so as far as their frugal brains go, its cheaper...

    Oh yea... they'll probably need to go together... so two tickets would be over $100

    Lesson Learned: Travel by driving is cheaper if you have more than 1 person)

    Jump

  • That doesn't sounds like an overthrow, more like an intended part of the system.

    Overthrow would be like:

    "Alright folks lets delete the senate and the electoral college, slaps podium in the house of representatives lets rename this this thing 'Parliament' and have proportional representation"

  • Difference is most countries are aimed at self-defence... as in against home invaders and such...

    The US 2nd amendment seems to be intended for "protection against a tyrannical government"...

  • If Trump reformed the gov so much he made himself a King. What recourse would americans have? How would we fight at considering all gadgets and armed forces would be his?

    Jump

  • It was more useful before tanks, planes, and... oh...

    NUCLEAR MISSILES

    ...

    but nowadays the point is more like a self defence type of thing, since cops are useless.

    We should really form well-regulated militias and just get rid of career cops...

    Edit: I mean with drone warfare becoming popular...

    Maybe we should expand 2nd amendment to cover Attack Drones? 🤔

    People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage.
