you won’t be banned from say .world for saying the Chinese government is a problem

Because this is literally their agenda. Try saying anything relatively positive or neutral about any of those countries on .world and see how “non-authoritarian” they are

I never knew .ml was banned by other instances. This explains a lot actually

Alright, I’ll say it. It’s because we’re all Russian shills here

¿Por Qué No Los Dos?

We’re on the same boat. The meme is very ambiguous, but it roughly means that something happens seemingly without a reason, i.e. the author doesn’t understand why something is the way it is

Just sang all of it in my head

The thing is, you want to stay alive. You just want someone to sort everything in your life so you can be happy and carefree, because you think it’s an option. For some people it surely is, but for most of us it isn’t. This gives us false hope.

Life is all we have really, and when it’s time to die, we’ll wish we had more time. And even when life is unbearable, everyone would choose to continue living if they could just make the pain go away.

So, in itself, life is a gift. It’s just our expectations that make life hard (unless you’re literally starving or being tortured/abused on daily basis). Maybe it’s just me coping, though. I understand where you’re coming from and I also found the op meme funny. We’ll get there eventually, friend.

It’s very easy to ruin your life while it’s much harder to get it straight. I think the whole “you can be anything you want to be” mentality is very idealistic and a product of survivorship bias. It shouldn’t stop you from trying by any means, just something to keep in mind.

And here I am, using my chinese phone with 8gb of ram (+8 gb of virtual ram), 128gb of storage, a nice camera and a headphone jack that I bought for $150 three years ago. Works perfectly. I thought fairphone at least comes with root access out of the box, which it apparently doesn’t.

“Shhh, it’s okay”

Blindness by José Saramago

The first ant to see an anteater: "Fuck. Why does it always have to be me?’

Flatout 3. I just checked on steam, and it’s tagged as “psychological horror”. Being a fan of the first one, and still having spent lots of hours playing the second one, I was totally not prepared for the utter monstrosity of the third one
