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…)

When you think of it like that… an NSA agent can read through all my posts and, without even needing to get my IP, they could uniquely identify me by cross referencing their database.

I mean who else in the world is (these are already info I’ve posted here and am comfortable with publishing… I don’t care about hiding this):

• Born in China
• Somehow survive One Child Policy as the 2nd child
• Immigrated to the US
• Speaks Cantonese and Mandarin with Taishan Ancestry

Literally just these 4 datapoints narrow down to like… probably no more than like 100 people (I assume, I don’t have the stats)

Then you filter for: everything else like age… citizenship… how long been here… cities lived in… favorite Animes, Movies, TV shows…

Bingo, I’m the only one that matches that…

Hello NSA, ya got me! 👀

(Assuming the info is real… who knows… maybe I obfuscated some details…)

I wanna publish a memoir some day so I’ll just see how unique/intriguing my story is… 👀

I as an American citizen hereby offer thee, Iranian leaders, a duel between our countries…

leader to leader.

Surely, a brave man and leader like Mr. Trump would not refuse this duel and cower, amirite, Mr. President? 😏

Go on, Mr. President, fight in the duel 1v1 to defend the honor of our GLORIOUS NATION. USA USA! 👊🔥🇺🇸

Last one standing wins the duel.

I recommend watching Jacksepticeye… it’s very therapeudic…

Oh yes this “birth statistics” thing… like this line of thoughts is causing me a sort of existential crisis…

Like… me being born ethnicallt Chinese in Mainland China was literally a statistic… its like amongst the top 2 countries in terms of births, even account for one child policy… like its over 10% chance… and oh yea there were like 400 million that were born against policy… like me 🫠

In terms of world population…it’s a 1 in 7 chance

So… yea I’m just a statistic…

But what’s not a statistic is the fact that I’m a diaspora… that’s kinda rare for China in terms of percentage…

But then again I’m Taishanese (台山) ancestry… so that’s just standard for us… most of Chinese Emigration have Taishanese ancestry…

I wish I was Norweigian… but the odds of being orn norweigian is like impossible… sad 🙃

Why am I here?

I think about The Egg by Andy Weir sometimes… what if I die now then get reincarnated as a woman in the middle east, then spawnkilled… 👀

okay sorry I’m just rambling now xD

You, too, can be a superhero when a dictator arrives at your operating table… 😏

Agent Krasnov has been activated

AI-Chip in all new devices that have low-level access overriding the entire OS and editing your photo album to gaslight you.

“What do you mean you have an alibi? You were at [Location A]? BUT HERE YOUR PHONE HAS SELFIES OF YOU CLEARLY AT THE MURDER SCENE!”

I mean…

Exhibit A: Succession…

Literally every episode has drugs…

Its not a show about bussiness… its just parties, drugs, famiky therapy, a board meeting coup-attempt in between, more parties, and DRUGS

Oh I’m an alien alright, but I’m not an ALIEN like you know… roswell… area 51 type of alien… certainly not an advanced space-faring civilization… probes into space DOES NOT COUNT as “ADVANCED SPACEFARING CIVILLIZATION”, jesus christ they haven’t even put a person on the moon yet… 🤦‍♂️

Why am I not born in an advanced space-faring alien civillization? 😥

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

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)

We probably radicalized more people and I fear that in the next 10 years, we’ll see another 9/11…

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)

that’s how you end up in a labor camp making military drones instead

Wait that’s an option? 👀

Hmm I guess I’ll just die. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I’ll find my faith into Buddhism or something lmao. (cuz buddists can’t do violence so you have religious exemption)

Oh yea btw, my mom called me weak and cowardly and unmannly and once told me “You should join the military so you can become more ‘Manly’ and ‘brave’”

I was like “Sureee mom, so when WW3 breaks out and they deploy me to Taiwan, I get to shoot at China’s PLA soldiers…” (context: my family is from China) then mom got mad at me and told me that I’m so weak no military would ever accept me anyways… lmfao.

So if I get drafted and die in war… maybe my mom will finally be happy that her son “died a man” or whateverz…

Kids make fun of me when I go see cartoons

ULPT: That’s when you guilt-trip them:

“This was the last thing I watched together with my 8 year old son/daughter before he/she died from cancer” starts crying (it doesn’t have to be true, just dramatic enough to shut them the hell up and to make them mind their own bussiness)
