This is site is gonna be western-centric so I’d not even bother with those countries:

So my answer is:

Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guangdong Province become one nation

Republic of Yue (粵共和國)

Historically we came from a common group of people… so… this make sense lol

A lot of Vietnamese words are similar to Cantonese.

So we just make this a dual-language nation of Cantonese + Vietnamese (plus we’d give protected status for minority languages/“dialects” and allow schools in their regions to use 50% of the time to use their language/“dialect” only, the other 50% they have to pick either Cantonese or Vietnamese as the main language, and also the other one become their sort of like “minor” language studies in college terms… so this de facto means the Northern part of this nation use Cantonese, Southern part use Vietnamese as the main one…

So someone running for president of the Republic of Yue is legally required to pass fluency test in both national languages to make sure people are united…

Oh fun fact: the 粵 Chinese character (as in 粵語/Cantonese) representing Guangzhou and Cantonese related words, and the 越 Chinese character in 越南 (Vietnam) are pronounced the exact same in both Cantonese and Mandarin.

Anyways… I’m gonna tag my favorite HKer on Lemmy @NorthWestWind@lemmy.world

Hope you’d enjoy living in our Republic of Yue fantasy where Cantonese is a national language for once (can you imagine if Cantonese won the debate to become China’s official language? 🥹)

/non-serious of course… but this would be a very funny country… imagine Cantopop with Vietnamese sprinkled inside? lolol

你好，

Seems to only mention SSRI specifically, not about antidepressants in general

Also this: “suggested that the active ingredients in 10 of the most popularly prescribed antidepressant medications made a meaningful difference in only 15 percent of the patients who took them, almost always in those patients suffering from the most severe depression”

So yeah… that’s me lmfao…

BORTLES!

Plot twist: I AM THE AI, I just don’t know yet 🤖

(Terminator 4 has joined the chat)

It’s an SCP. The containment procedure is to livestream his location at all times and make it legal for everyone to beat him up.

I already have no clue how to jerk off anyways… never did it; I might already have it tbh lmao

I hope this means less Sinophonia and not copying the government’s authoritarianism lol

I wanna highlight this:

“Appreciation does not erase the racism that many Chinese people grew up with,” said Elise Zeng, 28, from Brooklyn, New York. A video she posted critiquing the social media phenomenon was liked by more than 36,000 people.

She recalls how during the COVID-19 pandemic she was afraid for her parents stepping out of the house because they heard about people getting attacked just walking down the street. At the time, many Asians reported being assaulted or verbally abused by people who blamed East Asians for the spread of the virus.

“Those experiences don’t just disappear because Chinese culture is suddenly cool and trendy,” she said.

I really hope my future children can go through school in the west without ever being called “ching chong” or kids do the racist “pull their eyes back” bullshit…

But like… the reality is: Obama being president for 8 years didn’t prevent George Floyd from getting murdered by a white cop.

“You die in 50 years…”

5 seconds later…

“Unfortunately in about 10 seconds after you receive the answer, you accidentally fall as you are jumping up and down celebrating, you hit your head and you’re in a coma until you get cut off 50 years later and officially die”

…

The End

Sleepily ever after…

there’s an entity that knows everything, and I can communicate with that entity, i can ask the entity any question, giving me infinite responses

But what if that entity is being a dick and refuse to answer any questions?

Okay I know this is c/greentext and its not a serious comm, still just wanna infodump lol:

So… in 1st grade I was in China…

I remember them doing National Anthem… very similar to the US lol (as in the ritual, not the melody lol)

They use rulers to hit kids lol… 😭

I lucked out because my family emigrated…

Forgot if I ever got hit by a teacher… if I did, I must’ve deleted that memory since it sounds kinda traumatizing…

And they made us RECITE AN ENTIRE STORY! (Children’s story, but still) They made us stay afterschool for that 😭

I STILL REMEMBER the 9x9 times table “poem” thingy from first grade, it’s forever burned into my head (okay this might be 2nd grade tbf, forgot when I learned it exactly)

Article I found: https://yoyochinese.com/blog/Learn-Chinese-Multiplication-Rhyme-Time-Tables)

Oh yes I can sing the Chinese national anthem¹ + the American one too…

they played it too much the melody is forever stored in my hippocampus

(¹Okay I might have looked up the exact lyrics later on as a teen…)

And if I sing both, I get both sides to hate me… xD

I feel like that kindergarden, 1st, 2nd grade… just those few years of school there makes me very distinct from ABCs (American-Born Chinese).

As I pondered at what I could possibly ask, I blurted out “Do I get time to think about this or do I have to ask it like… right now?”

OH SHIT FUCK I DIDN’T MEAN TO ASK…

“It doesn’t matter anymore, now you don’t.”

And with that, I realized… I FUCKED UP…

Nah, then they could murder us… It’s safer to find one just advanced enough but not too advanced…

He has to register as a sex offender when he eventually gets deported to the US… lmfao

ERROR: YOUR PACEMAKER HAS CRASHED, PLEASE PRESENT YOUR ID TO VERIFY THAT YOU…

checks notes

… actually need a pacemaker and not just some kid… why need ID? cuz… something something counterterrorism and protect children…

Of course white dudes wanna enjoy their white privilage that even Local Chinese Citizens don’t have

Exhibit A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_monkey (this is not exactly “tourist” but the point remains)

The phenomenon is based on the perception that association with foreigners, specifically white foreigners, can signify prestige, legitimacy, and international status.

Edit: Lmao r/fragilewhiteredditors leaking into Lemmy 🤣

Lol, My dad literally mixes it into fried rice as he’s doing the frying, when he was too tired to fry the eggs separately.

Does this apply to Mestashtics?

Meshtashtic-net, anyone?

I wonder what the “Lib-Right” would say about this lmao

Lemmy is like “OMG MY INTERNET IN THE 90s! gOoD oL’ dAyS!”

I’m like: Bitch, my family didn’t even have internet till 2010 when we emigrated from China

And we had to boil water… was a culture shock to hear about just… filing up a cup water at the sink…

Is “Pro-Constitution” and “Anti-Tyranny” gonna be on a list of banned words?
