“it’s okay when we do it” —the US on literally everything it criticizes in other nations

there’s genuinely been some class consciousness getting into play

i saw some users from both countries compare prices of eggs and vegetables, and they even did the necessary math of accounting for average wage and cost of living. the chinese users are not allowed to talk about their politics (sadly; this is a bad thing) but they are allowed to talk about foreign politics and they are probably bigger fans of Luigi Mangione even than i have seen in English speaking social media. there are candid discussions of queerphobia as well in its different social (and for the US, political too) manifestations between countries.

people would rather have their personal data stolen by the chinese government than the US who poses much more of an immediate threat.

detractors describe this as astroturfing but that’s BS. congress brought this on themselves by making such a clearly self-serving gesture.

excellent to know so we are going to make and enforce privacy regulations so this pattern doesn’t keep repeating itself

… right?

gurl its the daily mail in shitpost comm hehe but here https://nypost.com/2021/11/29/north-korea-bans-leather-coats-after-kim-jong-un-sparks-copycat-craze/

you should google some of the other shit this mf done

Kim Jong Un is the only mf allowed to eat* over there

*term meaning to dress or perform very well originating from Black and drag culture

probably boosts user performance for users who have more experience like you but slightly hinders new users who haven’t got the hang of it yet

if steam prioritizing retention of growing userbase is one of its goals, it’s not a bad strategy in my opinion

i know im silly for this but this is part of steam’s charm for me. i like that it just feels genuine like steam isn’t trying to lull you with all the tried and true marketing and UI best practices. it feels very practical, like using old windows 9X UIs.

more than half of visitors leave a page if they’re forced to wait longer than 3 seconds

and it’s not outlandish to suggest that length decreases every year.

uh oh

A theory I have is that cancel culture as we will eventually know it will be considered to have simply had a rocky start. Instances where social cancellation is greatly overapplied or underapplied to an unjust degree continue to happen, but to a lesser degree each year it seems.

The social media revolution was a huge shock to popular culture and the social patterns that communicate it. It makes sense that it would take time for society to level out its reactions in response.

Wait can you rephrase or cite another voice on what you are saying here. You come off as a reactionary conservative here but your below comments suggest to me you are actually a lot more normal and you just wrote your thoughts in a way that confused people so they downvoted. /gen

hi fest im dad

yes but i prefer lime

the dogpile is always so funny

You’re getting my response anyway, ready?

Would you be making a post giving trump props…?

Does Trump own TikTok? Instagram? No. So I would not give Trump props when TikTok or Instagram exhibit good behaviors.

• I am giving props to RedNote for the space it is allowing for queer voices.
• Fuck Trump.
• Fuck the CCP.

That’s it. You gotta engage your active listening skills more brother. ❤️

assuming my priorities

I said “I can’t tell”; the exact opposite of assuming. And my edit was to apologize for my communicated confusion, a grace that I continue to extend to you: I apologize for not knowing if you were being sarcastic.

You don’t have to accept my apology but you can please stop harassing me about a mistake I corrected.

i’m sorry you feel impinged on by me suggesting features that i and plenty of my neurodivergent or visually impaired acquaintances find to be helpful. features you admit you didn’t know about and might actually be helpful just as they have been for me.

you do not need to find them helpful because no accessibility system is perfect. but no need to call me ableist. that’s just fucking cringe. :( have a good one and maybe be nicer to people.
