Why not?
Don’t people casually talk about:
“eww I hate my new boss”
“fuck, why do I have to scan a qr code at a restaurant?”
“wtf my TV is filled with ads”
“why do phones always break so quickly, ugh, now I have to waste $1000 on a new one”
This feels like the same type of thing… no?
We have a comm for Asian Diaspora here and have only like single digits of people actually of Asian descent lol…
and its so dead…
I don’t think a Chinese comm would even have anyone…
Suspiciously high number of murdered police for a peaceful protest, eh?
Oh tankies are pro-cop now?
Just use an app that force your screen to flip upside down (Android allows this)
Instructions Unclear: Tried this at a funeral, now their family won’t talk to me anymore.
What a shame, that dead body is still fresh and could’ve made a great feast.
LMFAO
My mom blamed us (me and my older brother) for “sitting too close to the TV”
She kept us mostly locked indoors in an apartment (besides going to school) from the beginning of my memory up till 8 years old.
Then we moved to the US and from 8 to 12 I was in school from morning (like 7 AM maybe? forgot the exact time) till like 6PM cuz she signed me up afterschool programs cuz she wanted to use it as free babysitting essentially so she can work longer…
And we cant go outside alone without adults.
In China it was “a lot of kidnappers on the street thay will traffic you and sell your organs”
In the US it was “if you go outside without an adult, CPS will take you away and you can’t see mama again” (idk why mom spoke in 3rd person sometimes lol)
Yay! so… from birth to 12 I was indoors, either in school or at home, most of the time…
outdoor time was rare and only when parents have a day off or like the 15 minutes of recess in school…
that’s basically our outside time…
In China we had maternal grandma that sometimes took us outside…
In the US, it was just mom, dad, older brother, and me (cuz grandma can’t come yet, no visa yet)… So we had even less outside time… like parenrs had to work all the time…
But of course its always “too much screens!” to be blamed lmao
From 8 to 12 was when my nearsightedness really developed a lot.
I didn’t understand why I had nearsigntedness at the time, but now looking back and analyzing my life, now it’s so obvious why lol…
My older brother has like -9.00 or -10.00 in the nearsightedness thing. Its funny my parents called it like 900 or 1000 “degrees”… like it sounds so much scarier when they drop the decimal point and literally say: “you’re about to have ONE THOUSAND DEGREES IN NEARSIGHTEDNESS! You’re gonna GO BLIND!”
I sometimes looked myself in the mirror… like I got so used to seeing my reflection in glasses, that if I ever like go without glasses… say if I get lasik, then I’d look so weird…
I literally had this thought earlier today… like… do people who get lasik still wear fake glasses so they look good aesthetically speaking? Or as you said, “to look smart”?
TIL I’m a furry 😳
In the US, you go to a post office, and you have to hand over the physical, original copy of your proof of citizenship when apply for the first time so the postal worker can attach to the packet of stuff they send to the US Department of State… and they only give it back after they finished processing your passport application…
So while waiting… (takes a few weeks to process) you have:
-No Passport -No Certificate of Citizenship/Naturalization or Birth Certificate…
Meaning no proof of Citizenship…
Which means its kinda awkward if you get approached by government agents during this time… and have no proof of your claim to be a US Citizen…
Apparantly for people with birthright citizens, they can just get a birth certificate for like $10-$30, which I didn’t know before… TIL
But since I’m foreign-born and naturalized (or technically speaking, it’s Citizenship via Derivation under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, but its too complicated and I don’t wanna write a paragraph on that), I would need to file a N-565 to get a replacement copy of my proof of citizenship…
And it’s $500 for the filing fee…
Yea I don’t think people are gonna really wanna spend $500 just for an extra “backup copy” they statiscally don’t need, unless it actually gets lost in the system and then they’d have no choice but to pay $500…
And that also takes time to process…
(And before you ask: Yes it is night time here, but I don’t really feel like sleeping right now lol)
If this was asked in China, I bet nobody would seriously say “I wanna live in the past”
(at least not in the context of traveling back to the 1950s or something like that…)
“Why would you light your passport on fire?”
idk Gen Z slang has infected my brain…
(send help… I’m Gen Z 👀)
Absolutely… I do love to be a human…
Ngl I kinda wanna just be a human mind in a body of a cat…
So I can look beautiful and also have intelligence
(also immortality so I don’t just die in about a decade… I’d run around as a cat and mess with people till the end of time xD)
Like maybe like a werewolf (were-cats?) ability, but I can choose to activate it at will… I can just live another life in case my human identity is fucked up, then I can just fake my death and live life as a cat (or rather, a were-cat)
maybe this is actually an scp that the foundation managed to successfully hide away from the people
I’m not saying its an literal actual trap, its more of a colloquial/casual way of saying things that some people apparantly didn’t get… 🤷♂️
Its like you know people say “the cat showing the belly is a trap” thing? Even tho not every cat would scratch you.
Yeah, but they took the original copy to be mailed to the department of state, for Online Renewals it doesn’t need to leave your hands, but I’m not eligible for a renew cuz my last one was issued in 2016/2017 when I was under 16 (valid only for 5 years), and I don’t even have it anymore.
I have a printed-copy of the Certificate and digitized versions stored on my phone… but my point is, it feels “less legit” to present it compared to the physical original copy.
Your foreign birth certificate does not prove citizenship btw.
A replacement for Certificate of Naturalization/Certificate of Citizenship is $500
I have derivative citizenship…
N-565 costs $500 to file
not exactly cheap
