I found it hilarious when I saw pics of users saying they thought USians working 2 jobs just to stay alive was CPC propaganda, lmao
I have had multiple DM convos with Chinese netizens who are like wait holy shit its that bad? Then we will go back and forth talking about how its capitalisms fault and having extremely based conversations. Its SO refreshing to chat with them. Outside of lemmy its so rare to talk to someone as based as they are.
Really makes me want to make an account, but I have been trying to be less internet addicted this year
Lol ya i get that struggle. What i would recommend if you really want to make one is do so, and then every 10 minutes you spend on it you must take a break and exercise. Moderation is key.
Moderation.
What obscure language did you steal this word from and what is its meaning?
Thanks! Might have to do that (and stay off of Lemmy.ml for a while, I'm overdue for a break from there).
Coincides with my 1 week enforced "vacation" from asklemmy@lemmy.world for calling out transphobia "aggressively."
If the poster in front of you falls/takes a break, pick up their keyboard and keep posting!
Wait until they find out there are Americans working three jobs and/or gig work 🙃
The older I get, the more that clip angers me. That said, the older I get, the more I enjoy this clip. Though, it would have been even better if he'd nailed him square in the head.

What the fuck?! And people clapped at that too?! I don't know why I'm continuously surprised at the depravity of the American empire, you'd think one would stop finding such clips surprising after some point and yet...

They have gig work in China too (delivery apps usually). But the difference is, the government in China actually has made the push in recent years to get the companies to treat their workers as workers, and be humane, unlike our Western apps.
seen some of these american rednote users getting mad condescending behind their backs

"wow it must be illegal for them to look up other time zones and i'm their only way of possibly knowing 🥹"
If I'm honest, RedNote is fine. I guess I've already recognized how deeply fucked the US is in comparison to other countries with international travel I was blessed enough to be able to do. I've been saying it's a mentally ill society. My first talking point is always how much cheaper and healthier food is abroad. There was a guy who was talking about corn being 1/5 the price in China and instead of having my mind blown it's more like "yeah, that makes sense." On top of that, I already thought China is... le good! So while I really like that other people are waking up to the disparity, I don't actually like using the app that much personally.
I think you're right!
