the tiktok exodus is widely known! for those of you who don't know, i am in high school. i can't count with my hands how many people have talked about it, and that's just in the two classes i had yesterday (exam week, yay). i've already gotten 2 people to download it. they both made accounts and use it now! it's broken the niche internet thing into the real world, at the very least for young people.

on the app front, lots of americans are posting things like "we've been lied to, china isn't that bad!" i've come across so many americans learning about chinese culture and responding positively to patriotic or socialist posts from chinese netizens. it's insane, i'm really amazed at how, for at least a good chunk of americans, china is becoming less demonized.

like another commentor said, any amount of americans being exposed to chinese culture is a positive.

i've never seen so many americans excited about china and the chinese language. good stuff, folks

They were running against a batshit insane senile cheeto and couldn't win the election anyway. They refused to go left, they collaborate with devils like the cheneys and when we pointed out the writing on the wall, we were met with "russian disinformation farms" and "tankies" for having a fucking brain and seeing that moving right will not make racist sexist republicans vote for a black woman. And lo and behold, 94% of republicans voted for trump, FUCKING OBVIOUSLY. The only fucking reason Kamala didn't run on being progressive was because at the end of the day, there's no "lesser evil," and we've all been saying this for fucking ever, the democrats are genocidal capitalist ghouls, and they will support america's interests no matter how much blood is spilled and no matter how many people get stomped on by bigots controlling the white house, the senate, the supreme court (which the democrats just let get stocked with republicans) and probably the house too. And they don't care. "Just give us money and make sure to vote blue next election" before they slink off into the darkness and begin their political pickpocketing two years from now. FUCK, now queer and genderqueer and bipoc people in america have to live with the republicans doing whatever they want for the next four years because GOD FORBID THE DEMOCRATS LISTEN TO A SINGLE FUCKING HING THEIR CONSTITUENTS SAY INSTEAD OF PLUGGING THEIR EARS AND SCREAMING "VOTE!"

i hate it here. every one of you redditors that posted shit like "i'm on the right side of history" while you refuse to leverage your one single fucking scrap of political power in this shitty dictatorship. fuck lemmy.world, fuck reddit, fuck libs for soypogging for kamala's campaign and not using their eyes to see that there's no difference in the end, the ghouls are ghouls.

Pirate Sheet Music? (hexbear.net)

I just found an ocarina at a thrift shop for 10 dollars, and I'm itching to play some fun solos for it. I am not itching to give money to JW Pepper. Is there any way to pirate sheet music? PDFs are ok. TIA!

I felt the need to share something personal about myself to one of the most welcoming, great communities I've ever had the honor to call myself a part of. You can make posts lamenting my radicalisation all you want, but seriously that shit is none of your business and the fact that you decided to deride me for being "tricked" or something makes me really mad. Do you think some internet strangers can automatically re-write 10 years of the US school system's imprint on my brain? The people on hexbear were everything the people on your instance claimed to be and more, these "genocidal tankies" showed patience, compassion, and empathy to me, and you think you can just condesendingly harp on about how i've been brainwashed? seeing hexbear made me decide to take a second look at my worldview, and really research who i was, what i believed, and what i stood for. If you think you can reduce that to me being brainwashed, you can go to hell.

fuck you and never post about me again.

(what community do i post this to? cth should be fine right? just delete it and dm me if i have to move it :P )

my friend from china uses hello talk, which is a languaga axchange app (basically you tutor each other), and this american dude asked to be tutored by her. the catch is, he doesn't know any chinese at all, and he kept being a weirdo, so she made him praise mao lol. she posted these screenshots on her WeChat moments:

thought i'd share with y'all, just something i found funny

i got kind of into smite recently, and it was fun, but it felt like i was playing it because i was telling myself "you should learn a multiplayer game! play smite!" and having fun just because i was invested in the current game. i never really WANTED to play it, i just felt like i should. what kind of online/multiplayer games are you into right now?

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

except for the lack of dials, buttons, and knobs which is dangerous as shit

i know, i know, i should have a vpn by now. but i really can't justify it, even the cheaper ones. but gog-games.to only carries windows installers (usually it's not too bad to get them working on proton but there is a few cases where i just can't get them to run at all). do you lovely people at /c/piracy know of any places? thank you for reading!

i tried to get kde plasma on my fedora, when i booted it up there was just a black screen. i couldn't type any commands either, it was toast

thankfully i've got windows dual booted because i'm a filthy gamer-gulag who uses it for vr games. unfortunately windows doesn't let me see my linux drive's files so all of my personal files are unrecoverable.

thankfully i think the most i had on my computer was my music (yt-dlp is so easy i can get it all back in 30 minutes tops) and a few files from some project i was working on, sucks but not worth spending hours troubleshooting. oh well.

on the bright side, i'm RETVRN-ing to my old reliable, linux mint with xfce. i'll miss hot corner and the other niceties that gnome has but xfce will be a bit more comfortable for me.

i thought this was the joe biden fan site???????

ah, ok. that's straightforward! thank you

Is anyone even saying that? I thought the whole issue was about withholding votes by votong undeclared in the upcoming primary to draw attention to the fact that Biden can't take this voting bloc for granted and should listen to their concerns. A significant group of voters using their collective leverage. Back in the day we would've called that effective democracy.

the voice of reason

There are In fact LOTS of progressives saying they won’t ever vote for Biden ever based on the current war in Palestine. It’s strange to me to give up on the every thing else in your life for the plight of the Palestinian people which is a very complex situation politically, economical, and militarily in that region. A lot of rights here in the US are on the line. Things can get infinitely worse.

aaaaaand we're back to fantasyland

  1. Immediately have the current presidential administration executed, along with the senate and house of representatives.

  2. Change the name and flag of the country to something completely different

  3. rewrite the constitution to include guaranteed rights for minorities and guaranteed rights to housing, healthcare, food, reproductive rights

  4. hire a council of indigenous american leaders to coordinate a landback campaign

  5. forcibly seize all major corporations

  6. end the embargo on Cuba, pull out of Guantanamo Bay

  7. sell all foreign military bases to the countries they are based in

  8. publicly denounce 'Israel' and embargo all shipments to the zionist entity

I'm sure i missed a few things, I'm sure some comrades could help me out

Symbol of the Nazi party, famous for rounding up and systematically exterminating millions of jews, black people, leftists, anarchists, etc and attempting to conquer all of europe is exactly the same as the main symbol of an ideology which advocates for workers collectively owning the means of production?

I understand what you mean but the hammer and sickle is the symbol of communism, not belonging to one country. the hammer and sickle did not originate with what happened in estonia.
