Not even horror. From tbe GF's perspective: your partner is so attracted to you, he (or she) starts trying out your clothing. If the partner is a guy, maybe he just likes cross-dressing. Nothing wrong with that (even if society might find it weird). Honestly if you are mad at a partner for doing that, maybe the relationship wasn't meant to last to begin with.

Browser of course! Sorry, but I'm just a Firefox Supremacist. I don't know why you have a bad experience with browsers, I've been enjoying using browser for everything. What exactly don't you like? Also what OS and browser are you using?

They've tried to kill me in the past. Maybe they aren't as bloodthirsty anymore, but there has been a lot of Americans with Chinese ancestry that will think they are welcome in China because of their blood, but they get treated as a Chinese citizen in the eyes of the law while simutaneously being mistrusted because of foreign citizenship. What this means is that if you get in political trouble, or just doing something they don't like (like using VPNs to access Youtube or basically any website outside of China), you can be harassed by cops or potentially even get arrested. But if you do get arrested, they do not let you contact your embassy because, again, they treat you like a Chinese citizen, where as a white American will be allowed to contact the embassy. Then, if things escalate to courts, they could prosecute you as a spy, and with 99% conviction rate you aint gonna be getting out any time soon. That's where an actual Chinese citizen benefits, because if you are a citizen, might just demand an apology and let you go. So you get the worst of both worlds by being a non Chinese citizen, and being non-white. Even if nothing happens, they could already put you in an "exit-ban" and keep you from leaving indefinitely with no fair appeals process, for any political reason, or just a mistake in the bureauacracy. As a second-born during the one-child policy, I don't even want to risk there being some "additional fines" that my parents haven't paid off for some reason, which should already be cleared. China has a network of spies in the US, and you never know if someone walking by is a CCP spy while you were talking with friends about things critical of the CCP. My parents have this "Wechat" thing on their phone and they FUCKING GAVE PERMISSION FOR THE APP TO ACCESS THE MICROPHONE!!! Who knows if they have records of an argument about the CCP and my parents were STILL PRAISING THEM and I told them how much I hate them for trying to kill me. And I often have these arguments at home, when they have their phones near by. The Wechat app could've easily sent that conversation back to China and now I'm on their watchlist. Too much risk while CCP is in power.

The thing about being a Chinese-American, is that both shores are unwelcoming. The US is racist and becoming fascist, China thinks of us as traitors. There's no safe harbor. Maybe Taiwan? I doubt that's even safe since China wants to invade soon.

A good 30 seconds should do the trick!

"Oops, meant to send that to someone else. Can you delete that please?"

Dumb question: but how does someone know if a cat was abandoned or if they never had a human companion?

I mean it could be worse. In an alternate timeline, you could be living in world where the nazis built nukes first and America becomes a fascist puppet state.

How I've dealt with morals is that if you steal a book from a bookstore, the bookstore now has one less book. But if you took a notebook and went to the bookstore and started hand copying, word for word, when you're done, you can leave with your notebook but the bookstore owner haven't lost anything. I know hand copying a book is implausible, but what if you had superhuman writing speeds? Therefore, using technology like cameras shouldn't be any different than hand copying it.

So I concluded with: Digital Piracy =/= Theft.

Now whether digital piracy is moral or not, I don't care. I'm not stealing, I ain't a theif. Whether I pirated a book, or if I never even existed in the world, the result is the same: The bookstore never loses anything.

You do know that sometimes a post does get posted when you click post once, even if it might seem to be spinning for a while?

I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I wasn't able to come to the US. No Youtube No Reddit No Lemmy. So many cool thing to miss out on... What a terrible life.

Of course I'm talking about the People's Republic of China. Glad I left.
