Float? Do you mean fax? Get with the program, old man

Yes, and? Get off my lawn!

Bro what’s the big deal? Just get a straw.

Not advocating for understimulated vaginas to keep 'em fresh. 💀

Idk, I have a lot to say about that but I’m too tired to function right now. Let’s just say the digital world is not the only world we live in right now, and the spirit of academia lives on.

E: Oh, dangit I forgot what sub I was in. Truth is I’m also baked off my ass.

Stop right there! You are hereby detained by the Online Police for being presumed a homosexual. I’m-a need you to step away from the keyboard and do a little dance with me. Untz untz untz untz…

I can’t get over their Peter Griffin chins touching tips. 🥺

China West Taiwan

FIFY

Not quite but I can see why people think so. Both words stem from the same Kanji pair: 腹切. Abdomen cut.

But one is read natively (harakiri) with an informal and colloquial feel to it and the other uses borrowed Chinese readings (seppuku) that makes it sound more formal/ritualistic to be used in formal settings. But they mean the same thing and both refer to the ritual.

A similar example is Japan’s own name: 日本. It’s usually read as “nihon” but has a special, formal reading of “nippon”.

You don’t have to marry one single platform, though.

Oh, this is great! I like that he regularly uploads, too. I’ll have to dig through so many of his videos and that’s a good thing.

Thank you! I heard about Manufacturing Consent before but it completely escaped my radar.

Boring! I say pick a random person from a lottery and now they become the next billionaire that needs to be sacrificed for the harvest. 😊

They get to live in luxury for the rest of their lives and we quench our blood thirst for eternity. Win win!

I think it largely depends on where you are and who you associate with. I also think cartel violence isn’t what it used to be. I’m not aware of any reputable gangs here where I live, but we do hear news about the shit cartels pull occasionally, like for example the narcobloqueos where they hijack a truck, park it across on the highway and set it on fire to cause a diversion or things like that.

Overall it’s very rare to hear about them taking it out on the general population. There’s an unspoken rule not to mess with the innocent although there are dangerous states like Sinaloa or areas of Michoacán where it goes down when the military intervenes. That’s when the gloves come off and they fight back by all means necessary, including using terror tactics for the government to back off.

But besides the cartel violence, kidnappings are what scare me the most. There have been many, many cases of people being held & maimed for ransom or simply disappeared without a trace, although I’m not sure how much of that can be attributed to the cartels because they target journalists. It’s undeniably a serious problem for many folks who are at risk by association, proximity or happenstance. Thankfully anti-kidnapping legislation and its enforcement has been tightened up in recent years.

Despite all that, these things are largely in the periphery in our day to day meaning I don’t live in fear. I generally live carefree and comfortably without denying that I do know some folks who have had scary episodes with organized crime in the past. But it’s quite surprising how much more peaceful our everyday life is than what you’re told abroad, even if it’s something we struggle with in the grand scheme of things.

*aiming at your car* Oh, it’s gonna be fun alright!

Vato, si no quieres creer, me vale tres hectáreas, sí? Ábrete alv a mí qué me importa lo que pienses. xP

Mexico. We’re very happy here, honestly!

We got our first woman president who keeps wowing us with comprehensive initiatives and continuing the work of our last president who got us on the right track. Great reforms are happening after a long string of corrupt presidencies that were more interested in personal gain. We had actual government efficiency reviews that cut down on misappropriated funds that have now been reinvested. And we’re expanding our exports to things like chipset manufacturing and growing our infrastructure.

Our public spaces are prettier, cleaner, more accessible, and quite modern here in the large cities. I know that my city alone is not what it used to be 10 or even 5 years ago. I keep saying we’re not a third world country anymore. We’re on our up and up so long as the international powers that be allow it.

Maybe?
