Use codes.

Or go digital. (Standard Notes for example)

I seriously doubt a bunch of hillbillies parents/siblings can decipher even a basic homemade code.

“Workers of the world, Unite!”

Congrats, Mr. President! You’ve won the election!

Soviets didn’t do much to help China fight off the imperialists from Japan. The US did.

Then Soviets try to coerce China to join the USSR as essentially a puppet state, used nuclear weapons as a threat to extort resources as “repayment” for the “help” they gave in WW2. Good thing China got the nuke, otherwise Soviets would’ve invaded.

Took credit for winning world wars

america is and always has been shit stain on the history of the world.

C’mon man, give the US some credit. They helped my home country, China, a lot during the defence against Japanese Imperialism, forced the impeialists to surrender.

Okay dude, please chill. That receipe thing was a joke post, wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. It should be obvious. It was mocking the typical “AI” that always give false answers that are sometimes dangerous. Are we on the same page? Don’t harm yourself.

If you need help, please call your country’s suicide hotline, I can’t help you. Wish you well, kind stranger.

PROTOCOL OMEGA - Enjoy the 21st

Bruh they really have no right to judge. They watch short-form videos on WeChat in the livingroom on loudspeakers. Weird skits with overdramatized acting. WTF are they even watching. Its like tik-tok but more boomer and cringy.

I have Asian parents (we live in the US) and they’re kinda abusive, mostly emotionally, and yes the trying to get in your room all the time was kind of “normal” in my “overton window” of parents. (emphasis on quotes, I’m not saying the “normal” equates to acceptable)

As for invasion of privacy, yes that was a common thing. My mother is constantly try to get access to my phone because she’s “worried about bad influences” or some shit. Like around when I was like 13, 14(?)… That kinda stopped when I got older.

The sexual aspects… idk, they said porn was bad, but I never really had any parental controls on my stuff (the stuff they allowed me to have, technically electronics not “my” things, more like they bought me stuff after I sort of begged for it). For context, Asia really represses the sex-related stuff, especially in China, where we were from, porn is blocked, like you could theoretically go to jail for porn, even of depictions of consenting adults. But even in democratic countries like South Korea, its still blocked (though, VPN access is easier in South Korea).

So yea… I never really told them about the porn… which I eventually kinda stopped anyways because I think I might be just asexual lol. But yea if they found out, they’d think its like “damaging for the brain” or something, they treat it almost like if you chatted with adults strangers or something.

Like “if you watch too much sexual stuff, you’re gonna lose the ability to reproduce” or some stupid shit. I don’t think China even has sex-education lmao. They never even said a thing, until I just randomly mentioned about my mother’s period stuff just as a subtle indicator of “yes, I know how human anatomy works lol”, they never really said a thing. Never had “the talk” lol. Very weird family dynamics in thos aspect.

I never had a journal, didn’t feel safe. I mean, I was very nerdy with codes and stuff so I’d probably have used a code had I been journaling.

My older brother never really dared to go through my stuff ever since I got my own room and like I got older. Like dude I can fight, sure, we both get hurt, but its like Mutually Assured Destruction, wanna start shit, I’ll mess us both up. Still, I worry he might perceive a transgression for something I didn’t do and then “revenge” on such perceived grievance. So yea its kinda like cold war all the time.

But as for the “test your sexuality” stuff, never happened. They kinda just assumed everyone is heterosexual. Religion isn’t that serious in China, so its never as crazy as the American South and the “Christians”. But yes it’s still very hetero-normative society.

My mom joked about “do you have any girlfriends? no? what about gay-friends?” then laughs like its funny or something. But also tells me to focus on school and not romance stuff. I don’t think they oppose romance, but they are more worried about grades. But then again, I’m kinda asexual so I never bother with romance anyways.

If I was gay, I think my mother would, not really shame the gay aspect, but more like the “what about my grandchildren” type of stuff, and be disappointed, and would probably try to use inheritances as leverage (I assume, since this part is hypothetical). Like… being “gay” isn’t really a “sin”, but “continuing the bloodline” is very important somehow, everyone in Asia is obsessed about it. So yeah, on thay aspect, they’ll be disappointed. But I think they’ll still be happy I have a “gay-friend”, they’ll just assume I’ll “eventually become heterosexual again” and this is just gonna become another normal friend, as if this is just a “phase”. Again, hypothetical, as I’m not actually gay.

As for if I was trans… yea no… they’ll think it’s 变态 and a mental illness and would constantly try to “cure” me of it. Or probably disown me for being “broken”. This is less of anti-trans, more like ableism. I mean I have depression and they already treat me like I’m sort of “broken” and they are talking of leaving me out of inheritances lol.

Huh?

Lol, no I’m not watching porn, lmao.

Isn’t Syzygy the thing in Three Body Problem that causes chaos for the planets because some weird 3 suns allignment and the gravity thing?

So… is the cat Syzygy just as chaotic as the astronomical phonomeon known as Syzygy? Is that how the name came from?

No, actually my mother flies around in circles in a F15 and fires warning rockets at me all the time…

…wait what did you say again? Sorry the missile explosions are too loud can’t hear you!

If you leave them at a level, where you’re able to hear the outside world around you

Noise cancelling, you can have it at half-volume and it already covers up all the external noise.

I think they still don’t know what noise cancelling headphone are, or the fact that noise-cancelling is even a thing, and assume the music must be too loud

My Helicopter Mother’s PoV when I have headphones on to drown out the living-room arguments.

(It’s noise-cancelling, I don’t blast it at max volume lol)

Speaking in general.

[Actually now I think about it, test problems are already devoid of human souls, AI replacing it makes no meaningful difference (assuming its actual AI, not those LLM shit).]

Sapient maybe, sentient implies that it has feelings, I’m not sure that Silicon-based “life” really can feel emotions.

There is no practical difference. We’re seeing that right now with AI generated music.

Last night, some account spammed multiple communities and they got upvoted and some users replied, apparantly didn’t realize it was a LLM bot (like 20 posts within a few hours, un-human). I also didn’t notice at first glance, now I kinda feel like shit for even responding lmao. 2026 is gonna be even more cooked.

I lived in China, I hated it.

Its not really as beautiful as it seems.

Sure, its not as bad as North Korea or Taliban-controlled Afganistan, but still, not like a nice place to be.

I mean aside from the extremist politics of this administration obviously, I’m overall more ideologically alligned with the west than CCP, and the only potential issue I see is probably the racism I’d face, but its a big world, not everywhere is Texas. And hopefully this shit doesn’t go more than 4 years.

Nice Modlog btw
