The pacifism and anti-imperialism leaving my body the moment I build the first nuke in my Civ game.

I have relatives that are landlords, anecdotally, they probably wont evict you since turnover isn’t worth it unless you have other issues like not paying rent or destroying the house/apartment-unit in some way.

I’d say just get another one and say nothing. Going to court for eviction for something this small is not worth their time, it take months for there to even be a court date, and you would have plenty of time to move.

Bro let the intrusive thoughts win 💀

POV: When you’re the socially awkward kid in school during the mid/late-2010s and you don’t have a smartphone to be in group chats, so nobody wanna talk to you since they view you as “the loser who doesn’t even have a phone”

I mean, that’s probably good enough evidence to get asylum. Get someone to drive you to canada, then have a dramatic border crosing scene: https://youtu.be/cl6D942E9Lo?t=226

Its not unemployment, its a one-person strike.

Chinese culture is like you pretend to be very nice to other people, but the abuse is within the family.

Like the 红包 (red packets) for Lunar New Year is so… wild.

Like so you give your friend’s kids $50 and their parents give your kids $50 then pretend like this is an actual gift, but then when they go home, the parents are like: “给我帮你保管” (Let me help you safeguard it)

Like… what is the point of the red packets then? Money gets shuffled but it just end up in the same people’s hands.

I mean at least that’s how my parents did it, I think my aunt’s more Americanized family actually let their kids buy stuff?

I went to my cousin’s house once (not willingly btw) and their family arrived in the US earlier than mine, so they cousins were born on US soil (as opposed to me who is first-gen immigrant), their father (my uncle) was from Hong Kong, so basically very western-minded.

They had an entire game system (Nintendo Wii something) in their house, I never had a game system lol, I was so jealous. Tbf they are slightly richer (like “middle class” rich), but even later on when my parents got more disposable income (like teenage years), I never got any games, or toys.

Like the vibes I was getting was that their household was still very strict, but not they actually get to have fun sometimes.

I think its this “filial piety” thing that is fucking toxic as hell.

I guess I see this with politics as well. I mean on the surface you never see Xi acting like the buffoons in the US-Republican party (I mean y’all know those crazy trump tweets and thinnly veiled racism, that sort of crazy stuff). The CCP might not outright do crazy shit like that, they do put up this act that make them look good, but deep down, they are both the same. In this analogy, the country is like the family, the civillians are like the children, children gets yelled at or even beaten (police harassing dissidents), but then the parents (the CCP) talks to everyone else (other countries) like everything is fine.

Family, Country, these patterns repeat.

I mean on the other hand, the US is like that conservative man in the suburb that open-carries a gun everywhere (the 18 aircraft carriers and hundreds of military bases world wide) and sees everyone as a threat (“inverventions” in other countries)

Seems like culture and politics are so intertwined.

(I feel like I’m rambling… idk if this wall of text even makes sense)

Not sure if this is relevent, but I just wanna share my story.

My mom wants me dead because I have depression.

Not schizophrenia, not sociopathy/psychopathy, just being a little more sad than “normal”.

The reasoning? “Because you wouldn’t be able to enjoy life anyways, and your life is meaning less”, threatning to leave me out of the will because “you can just get welfare from the government”, despite me helping her with a lot of her stuff like bussiness licenses, filing taxes, translation (they are first-gen immigrants), etc. Like wtf is this concept of leaving someone with nothing when they have been so helpful throughout your life, just because “you have depression and you are no longer useful to society”. Then put obstacles in me getting antidepresdants because “you can’t be relying on meds for the rest of your life, just go outside” bitch wtf? Go outside to the ICE agents swarming the streets?

(I’m Chinese-American)

I mean at lesst I’m not dead yet, so I probably don’t deserve to complain too much, some people have it worse than me, I mean this person in the article literally got murdered. Tbh there were moments when I was a teen that I thought my mom was gonna stab me when I sleep. The fact I’m even alive is a miracle.

This toxic culture is why I never want to return to PRC, not to mention, the CCP problem.

But… now… the USA is also on fire becauses… I mean… you know… current events…

Life is going great! 🫠

Can’t complain! (literally can’t complain else you get arrested)

I think the accusation is against cuomo and his billionaire doners

The republican aint winning, this is a blue vs blue

Silwa is currently polling at 14%, last election he was polling at 25%, so it’s not happening. the best chance against Mamdani is still cuomo

Again, ranked choice does not apply in the general election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_New_York_City_mayoral_election

In New York City, primary elections are conducted with ranked-choice voting, while the first-past-the-post system is used for general elections.

I mean what did people think would happen if Sanders became president?

Congress and Supreme Court suddenly cares about checks and balances. Executive Orders getting striked down like less than 1 hour after they get signed.

Don’t even need to do any “JFKing” when they just have a perfect scapegoat to blame all the problems on one person about why “sOciAliSm iS eViL”

Don’t be depressed. Reality is (probably) not some martial law guns ablazing or vote rigging. Most likely the city council just blocks every policy he tries to implement, then try to blame every problem on the “eViL cOmMUnISt”.

General election is still FPTP plurality wins.

It’s almost as if they planned for this as a contingency plan in case an anti-establishment candidate won the primary.

The realistic thing that’s gonna happen is that Mamdani is gonna win, then city council is gonna block every policy he proposes. Then next election (if the country doesn’t fall apart by then) the billionarie ads be like: “Mamdani can’t do anything!”

r/conservative:

“Better a crook than a …”

checks notes

“… person who want to give people living wages, free buses, childcare?! pff, these evil commies”

Nah, if I was a criminal, I’d try to drag everyone down with me before I die, I mean, either you suceed, or die trying. Why would I, as a (hypothetical) criminal with no morals end myself earlier?

I dont think they are like the rural lynch mob level of racist, but more like the classmate that makes racist “jokes” then be like “it’s just a joke, man” type of racist.

Why didn’t Biden release it?

Is he or one of his family members on the list? Well I mean he already pardoned his son, so I have no doubt he abused his position of power to protect someone.

This is what happens when people don’t vote in primaries. Now I’m not even sure there will be a next election.
