  • Republicans "on board" with Pam Bondi impeachment—Ro Khanna

    Jump

  • If someone is doing something that's impeachable, the practical thing to do is the president should fire them, cuz otherwise the president is at fault and we should just skip the middleman and directly impeach the president.

  • Do older people actually text?

    My boomer¹ parents never knew how to do texting lol

    ¹not actual boomers, I'm talking the boomer personality

    Its always phone calls, or leave voicemail.

    That being said, they don't use a latin-based script and the non-smart phone they had didn't support it.

    Nowadays they just use wechat and send voice-messages.

  • Any RPGs that take into account when you reload a save? Or that break the 4th wall like this?

    What does the confederate flag mean to you?

    Jump

  • The Japanese rising sun flag

    Honestly this is probably the most terrifying thing for me to see, even more so than the average American racist stuff.

    (Like unless it's some museum thing)

    Cuz like, if someone ia actually flying that in public, that a very bad sign, my paternal grandparents were alive during WW2 and I was told that they had to like leave home to flee from japanese soldiers. My compatriots died under that flag.

  • As a Chinese American, if I see that, that means danger is nearby and I should gtfo of the vicinity asap, otherwise I'm gonna end up like this guy (I'm actually born in the same province as he was, which make this even more relatable)

    • About half are Americans, about half are in non-US Western countries, 5% other
    • everyone here hates the current US admin
    • everyone uses adblockers
    • everyone is anti-surveillance (except like 1 or 2 users you find occasionally defending mass surveillance that get downvoted into oblivion)
    • everyone is either a Marxist Leninist, Left Anarchist, Social Democrat, or Democratic Socialist, except like a handful of liberals and like 2 conservatives

    • Frequently, you get extreme CCP shills falsely accusing you of Sinophobia, and simultaneously some are actually some closeted Sinophobes.

  • The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation.

  • Not smartphone, but my dad's Motorola phone that looked like this: (pre 2010s very old)

    Had some weird ninja turtle game on it.

    Cool Game I thought, but parents got mad that it automaticaly billed the phone company... not my fault, I'm the younger sibling so I think I mostly got away with it and my older brother was the one that got the most trouble, he tricked me to press the download button.

  • Does anyone actually like... talk to extended family/relatives? Like an active effort to maintain relations and not just because of forced family gatherings?

    Jump

  • there is a language barrier problem because I don’t have fluency past an elementary school level

    Same, can barely hold a conversation with my parents. Talk about like space exploration, medical terms, science, politics, or any deep conversation and suddenly I'm struggling to find the vocabulary. I have the Chinese Language Lexicon of a 2nd grader.

    Conversations with relative in mainland China or any like older relatives like grandparent are basically impossible. Even the aunts/uncles in the US that speak English... it's still gonna be awkward when its always Cantonese in family gatherings, suddenly speaking English feels so like "wrong" for some reason, like its weird, the vibes would not even feel like family, it would feel like talking to a stranger lol.

  • The future of human gene editing is quite scary since they could add genes that makes people more obedient. Goodbye to freedom forever.

  • Doesn’t work like that boss. More likely they will just make everyone white, blonde, and blue eyed.

    Very western centric lol.

    Why would China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan make white children?

  • This is ai-tracking is equivalent to having a government agent following you 24/7

    You're not doing anything wrong, so why are you worried the police is trailing your every move? amirite?

  • Do you think the gap between significant interesting events is 20 or 30 years or much further, 80 years?

  • Eh, when I was in K-12 school, I remember talking to my peers in just fine...

    Like what do I even say to older generations? There's an authority differential I feel like.

  • I got in trouble once because there was a small earthquake in Brooklyn that made everyone call each other so it clogged up the lines, this was before 5g so the congestion problems were way worse.

    Mom at first thought I broke her phone lol.

    Your comment reminded me of that incident lol

    So every time after that, I'd bring up that incident when ever my parents falsely accuse of doing something wrong

  • Deliberate Internet Shutdowns

    Jump

  • Ham radios, meshtastic, randomly drive around¹ and broadcast, then when finished, turn it off, go home and hide all your radios in some secret underground storage area.

    ¹so its harder to triangulate you

    You can still spread info that way.

    Humans suddenly gain the ability to selectively delete their memories. How do you use this ability? (if at all) How do you think society would change?

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world
    [鳳凰院 凶真 Hououin Kyouma]|[alt: 黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui] @sh.itjust.works

    Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes.

    Parents, do y'all love your children more/less depending on if they reciprocate it? Or do you love your children the same regardless, even if they hate you?

    Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the Men In Black device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals)
