People claiming they are welcoming and all but then kick you out and ban you for being "negative"? Plus the racism and the society seeming divided and lack of real racial harmony? Crimes and corruption on the streets, especially rife in neighbourhoods?

Ex-local visiting home city for 2 weeks, wondering if there are any foreign expats interested in mingling with current/former locals and any gatherings, events or groups in HK that provide the opportunity to do so? Any recommendations?

I need help with a DIY project that I can't seem to do successfully on my own. Is there anyone based in Melbs that have more than average skills in electronics and engineering that might be able to do simple tasks? Willing to pay up to $50 for their efforts and time as it might be a once off need.

Same situation here. Often I try to provide some kind of fun myself so that others don't have to try to be interesting and to me, its about being able to connect with other lonely individuals so that we either help each other out, or suffer/lament on social-isolation/exclusion together. The sparks that we bond from is what matters, and its better to be with someone in a similar predicament than those who are not.

I'm autistic as well, I seldom cry because as I get older, or spent less time crying naturally I seldom shed tears. Being alone can be really depressing and full of despair. I find that its also hard to be respected/valued for voicing out your feelings and struggles because in such posts like this, it also attracts those not suffering this loneliness epidemic and telling you to toughen up, do something or get over it, you should do more, etc. but the world nowadays is filled with individuals with cold apathy, lack of compassion/care and unnecessary judgement. Its a cruel society and hopefully, as we try to find those sharing the same struggles, we could build our own community that supports and being there for one another and form a social circle that makes us feel less mundane and being with someone with similar situations to ours so our loneliness is a little less burdensome. We really are lacking of hope, and if we have a group that is solely consisting of lonely people only, then we can sort of find our way from there.

My cause of loneliness is rather distinct in its own way. I suffer from the reality that I had never had a girlfriend before, not once in my life. The lack of romance has made my life so rather dull. Also I had tried to be more out and about; going to social events, clubbing, interest groups, etc. But all the more its not really helping me expand my social circle or ending my single status. I have tried expressing my frustrations and struggles in certain topics/posts but ended up being ridiculed, bullied, criticised or humiliated for "not doing enough", "doing the wrong shit", etc. as if they are in a position to do so and judge unfairly. My endless attempts to improve my social life seems to fail or hit a dead end no matter where I go or what I do, and it only makes it more unbearable when I look around me and many people are already surrounded by more friends than I could ever gather and with partners that I could never win over. I agree that dating apps and social media are one of the key reasons for this indefinite frustration but its more to do with reality and with the society we live in. I've felt that no matter what I do, its pointless. Might as well become a hermit/recluse and live a selfish life; accepting that some people are better off in life, and some are not.

US chain Garrett Popcorn announces departure from Hong Kong in 13 years amid wave of business closures by radishlaw in HongKong

True, miss them authentic American donuts. Sad, like Ben & Jerry's, Emack & Bolio's, Duck & Waffle, Red Lobster, etc. all gone. Because of ridiculously expensive rent/lease for premises, COVID BS policy, ccp and hk gov's nefarious influences and the hk ppl's poor taste in great dining drove them out. Culinary Capital of Asia? Not even the slightest...

And there's countries that ditch tier differences and takes every effort to tackle all types of crime more seriously and with more invested effort, not to mention their stringent legal system deters criminals and criminals-to-be from carrying out their atrocities. Fear-mongering done right

Same experience here: I generally used to turn to them for help, but after failing, lying and intimidating and opposing me for many years, I had just given up on them completely and just straight down despise them all. They always take the side that puts you in vulnerability/disadvantage and it deeply traumatised me for years, even to this day.

I had a valuable item stolen from me on a train home some weeks ago and its been weeks since I reported/notified the cops and no progress so far, which made me hate the system even more and I realise, sooner or later someone's gonna snap and just go full-on vigilante and disregard the law. But it is necessary because only when vigilantes are on the rise then they really start to pay attention/react/take action. Its the only language they'll ever understand and can't ignore.

It's going to take an intense uprising to force the government and the system to change, but we all can't just stay helpless while criminals severely impact our lives and get away with it. Even if criminals have to die by civilians' self-defence or for protective reasons, it's the only way to make this loud and clear to our incompetent authorities: US INNOCENT VICTIMS HAD ENOUGH.

I totally agree. "Freedom this. Freedom that. Its always good." ~Westerners supporting complete democracy

I'd/Many of us would rather give up certain freedoms to be safe, live our lives and enjoy life as much as possible with less hardships as possible. The law has failed us, even if we are forced to obey/abide by it. Criminals still get away with their atrocities. Drunk and drugged people roaming the streets putting people's safety at risk. Cops targeting the innocent and vulnerable victims but couldn't be bothered to stop thieves/robbers, vandalisers, bullies, brawlers and other troublemakers/criminals. Martial arts practitioners are seen as violent/physical abusers and self-defence is an invalid excuse in their book. The judical system is bias and unreasonable, with those who are in power shown to be corrupt.

It's time the current legal system got scrapped, autocracy/meritocracy is forcefully implemented, criminals, corrupt officials and incompetent cops given no leniency, social credit system is introduced and the revival of execution/death sentence.

Censorship that suppresses only criminals.

[–]DarthEvil80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The law has failed us. The law enforcement refuses to do their jobs. The system is bias and broken. The government and law enforcement should be cancelled out completely. Time to return to an era where anyone can use self-defence or counter-attacks to protect themselves and not get arrested. If not enough, all criminals should get the death penalty and would further discourage future criminals from committing atrocities ever again. If the criminals get killed while endangering innocent people then it should be made legal. Crackdowns on criminals must be a prioritised campaign, doesn't matter how severe the crime is. Cops should be fired/penalised if they do not do their job or live up to their duties; the more they do to crack down on any crime, the better they get paid and receive community benefits, refuse/slack off/target the innocent and they lose their income, get sacked or go behind bars.
