Honestly now I think about it… with how bad her English is, I’ll just call the cops myself and say she’s having a bipolar episode.

Just have the #AmericanCops come and shoot us all dead… wanna play with fire, sure…

Bitch literally told me to go to court with her to “translate” for some stupid thing where she got sued or whatever…

Last time my brother was so threatening and made me so scared… I just dialed 911… but I got scared so I hanged up before I got too far… and mom assumed they were on the way and was like: “why the fuck did you call?” “oh great you’re both (me and my brother) are gonna go to jail”

So she clearlt doesn’t wanna involve authorities…

I don’t know if she even dares to call.

Wanna go against the native-level English speaker…

I doubt she can even explain it besides “ooh my son is misbehaving” and I’m gonna be like “Officer, sorry for this my mom is kinda bipolar and she refuses to seek mental healthcare because… you know… their culture is kinda fucked up and backwards… good day officer… sorry for all the troubles”

Yea how is she gonna make the cops side with her…

Seriously she asked me if I wanna go visit China with them next month… nah no thanks… pretty sure its a trap… I feel like the moment the moment I step foot in that country, she’s gonna have complete control…

enjoy your firewall and pollution…

Sometimes I read the Jennifer Pan case and I can emphathize with her…

But no I have no support system… Even Jennifer had friends… I don’t…

I don’t even trust the government welfare system…

Do you know how fucked the laws are? My Citizenship is entangled with my mother’s. If she gets denaturalized, I lose mine too…

Roomate? what the fuck man… seems like a great way to get murdered…

I wanna reroll this dice… Norweigians have it sooo goood…

Thanks a lot, conservatives… great fucking job…

他们有本事找上门来。

这是美国，来这，我毙了你。

(This is a joke, I do not condone violence)

Besides those drives installed inside other devices, I have like 2 portable ssds and 1 portable hdd totalling like 4 TB

bunch of micro sd cards…

I treat it as an effective 1 TB of storage tho… I mean, I use the multiple storage device as redundancy. I’m not gonna actually treat this as I have 4TBs…

Cloud storage is used as offsite backup.

I have a shitty budget laptop and a steam deck and nintendo switch 2… I haven’t even have the energy to play anything for months… mostly just binge watch anime and stuff…

I don’t have a desktop… I don’t like the idea of a device that’s contrained to only be used in one place… how do you even pack it if you wanna move?

That said I don’t really have a place I feel “home” yet… so my mind thinks more like a “nomad”

I like using phone more often… cuz you have it with you everywhere, so I treat my phone as my “Main” device… If I type a document, I always copy it to be on my phone at all times…

Hard to move stuff like a desktop pc or a bookshelf of books, dvds, game cartidges… so I kinda favor digital versions of stuff more than physical…

I don’t bother keeping “backups” of every media I watched, feels like it would cost too much for storage… when you factor in like replacements when drives eventually die… and the headache of having to manage all that… so I only keep irreplacible files like photos, documents,or my writings. And maybe like a .zim wikipedia file or a bunch of ebooks since those doesn’t take much space.

Does everyone on Lemmy have like an entire serverroom or something? Lmfao

(USA btw)

But Identical Twins have the same DNA? 🤣

For real, if my brother was an identical twin instead, pretty sure he’d try to frame me for stuff.

You could also just shoot your guns to cover-up your farts…

As the founders intended, 'Murica Style🇺🇸🦅

Legends has it that they declared independence so they have an excuse to have a holiday that would hide their farts.

That why they’ll ask for your ID and Fingerprints next.

LOVE

Jesse what the fuck are you smoking?

Lol my mom does this alot… especially with other Chinese Diasporas…

I mostly just keep quiet…

I mean in K-12 School, I sometimes did that… like those in the same class or sitting in the same lunch table, like there’s the common thing of “oh we’re both in this shitty situation together”, and again, usually those who look Asian, I’d feel more comfortable talking to… idk why… Pan-Asian solitarity vibes maybe?

Out in the adult world? Oh jeez that sounds like it’s gonna trigger my social battery to implode.

That said, I think I have Outside-world-phobia…

Lmfao

You could be a diaspora criticizing the CCP and they’ll call you a “Sinophobe” 🤣

Thankfully, I have my family’s unconditional support

Bruh how rich is your family? How many yachts you got?

Kidding

But like yea I get asked a lot “what do you wanna be when you grow up”… and like… I can’t remember how I even answered it…

At one point, I wanna be a game designer…

Then I want a small shop to fix electronics…

Then I wanted to be a programmer or something in IT…

Now I’m a puddle of depression 🫠

I’m financially dependent…

I think I’m just gonna learn how they run their bussiness… and stuff… and take over…

Hopefully I don’t get disowned and cut off lol

I wanna be a writer…

Having their assets would be a huge help since I’d have financial stability and have time to actually do any writing…

(Sorry for the rambling… perhaps I’m not fit to be a writer at all lmao…)

Let me introduce you to a dimsum dish called: 牛雜 (it’s actually decent btw… sometimes…)

24 (approximately)

Doesn’t take much knowledge to find Lemmy, I like a topic-based forum, not some influencer-follower twitter like shit… I don’t like “following” “people”… I want to talk about stuff not people… was on Reddit… and just have a burning hatered for authoritiarians and bullshit like: “AUTOMODERATOR: OPPSIES YOUR KARMA ISN’T ENOUGH…” or “YOUR POST HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED”… and a desire for freedom.

Techical Knowledge? Idek how to do coding lmao…

Never knew what internet was like in the “Good Ol’ Days” or whatever y’all are talking about, my first glance at the internet was in 2010

Soon:

“I’m so sad, mommy wouldn’t buy me more toys…”

AI Toy: “MURDER YOUR PARENTS 😈🔪”

Depressed… college plans on pause… lots of free time… have a disappointed mother… kinda hate myself… trying to do some writing… but end up procrastinating with binge watching tv or anime… currently trying to seek help for depression… on parent’s insurance and they’re paying for treatment… I wanna get medications but I kinda feel like I’m “drugseeking” lol… initial few sessions… I don’t think they want to prescribe me meds yet… talking kinda feels like a waste of time ngl… wtf am I even doing…

Probably just gonna continue with family bussiness and stuff… hopefully I’m mentally prepared enough for it…

I’m Asian… but do not live up to the stereotype lol, don’t even have a college degree… can I even call myself an Asian?

My mom keeps talking about some cousin that allegedly “went to Singapore on bussiness trips and made millions of dollars”…

Yeah… sureee… I don’t buy it… probably exaggerated just to brag… they also boast about their expensive vacations all the time on WeChat which my immediate family rarely, if ever, have…

And one of my cousins had this expensive “Sweet 16” birthday party that my family was invited to and I was a kid at the time so I was forced to go… I hate the cuisine… never had those stuff before and my taste-buds just despise it… ended up just going home half hungry lmao

I don’t have really have any deep resentments tho… their mom, aka my Aunt, aka my dad’s sister, got us to the US… so… yeah… thanks for that… I guess… and good for them lol… but mom wouldn’t stop comparing us to them… “WHY CAN’T YOU JUST BE LIKE THEM”

Idk mom, maybe your genes suck ass lmao (she has no blood relations to those cousins, they are on the paternal side of the family)

(pls don’t judge lol)

(Oh shit did I go off on a tangent again? sorry lmfao I love story telling cuz I have no friends to tell it to IRL)

thats why i randommly introduce spelin mystakes so i can kontinue pritendin too be human

Knowledge of Mandarin-Chinese for Knowledge of Japanese

I like Anime 😁, but haven’t really used Mandarin for over a decade so I feel like Japanese would be a better use of brain capacity for me.

Not the person you replied to but:

Technically I predate the internet

That doesn’t exactly mean much tho…

I was born in 2002, y’all westerners got the internet very early, but internet didn’t really exist in the part of China where I lived up till my family emigrated… many developing countries also didin’t have internet…

Parents didn’t really use the internet till like 2014/2015, and the first thing they did was make a WeChat account and now they just go on there all the time lmfao

Yes, the end goal is to create The Director so we send a traveler back to tell us “THE OPEN AI PROJECT WILL FAIL, HUMANITY WILL BE DOOMED, DO NOT GIVE BIRTH TO SAM ALTMAN”

Idk how we’ll get a T.E.L.L on his mother tho… maybe get a geo-location on the landlines? Maybe the location of the actual bed in the hospital? Just be get a travelers in there and be like “Doc I change my mind, I know I’ve been carrying this for 9 months and its almost full term, but can I get an abortion right now?” 🤭

(Btw: you should really watch Travelers, it’s worth it I promise)
