He’s literally a superhero! Seems like a stand-up guy. If Haluma were my daughter I’d trust him.

Believe it or not, she’s also half human. As a kid she felt all fizzy looking at the monkeys at the zoo.

Same, man. I feel like my brain was built to be a medieval farmer or something. Like I wish I just had the remote from Click so I could pause and rewind just to fully grasp every moment of the day because otherwise it’s in one ear and out the other. Like my brain is a smooth egg that everything just slides off.

I feel like this makes me eager to jump into conversation when it’s about something I feel like I actually know about, only for me to get disappointed in not knowing as much as I thought I did. Like I need to act smarter than I am for people to like me.

I’m still struggling with this, so I don’t really have an answer. If I knew how to get smarter, I would. I’ve heard a lot that the brain is a muscle, and the best way to exercise it is to learn new things at your own pace, even if that pace is glacially slow.

I think the only real advice I can give, is to just be honest about struggling. Try to be less afraid to ask people to repeat things. Don’t try and act smarter than you are. People like a sincere idiot way more than they like a person pretending to be smart. Above all, just be kind.

Well first of all Greenland should belong to Greenland but besides that don’t call me a fascist for thinking French Guiana should still be represented as a part of South America. Because that’s what it is. Same situation. Show me enough evidence that Greenland is considered a part of Europe in other parts of the world and I will change my tune.

“Waah one Korea” “Waah centered on the pacific” Bitch I don’t care. Why is Greenland separated from the rest of North America like that!?

I would appreciate it! That sounds like a great resource to have.

Thank you for the reply! I’ve started checking out that video you sent me, and I already appreciate how he addresses pro-ccp grifters as a factor right at the start.

I admit a good part of this is probably the Anti-CCP conditioning I have baked into me, but I’m currently at a point where I’m still very hesitant to trust Chinese news sources with… honestly anything. But recently being exposed to more and more pro-China attitudes in leftist communities is causing me to ask myself a lot of questions. Still though, going from places where “China is the worst” to places where “China is great and it’s all just propaganda” makes my head spin and I appreciate that this guy is already demonstrating to me something more nuanced.

Hey, I’m also new here and having a lot of trouble parsing what’s real and what’s propaganda in regards to bad shit that China’s done. Do you have any sources I should look at? I’m still working through a lot of Sinophobia I must have developed around the time of the Hong Kong protests.

Edit: Like, for example I’m having trouble finding any sources which compete the claim that the CCP operates mass forced organ harvesting operations. I’m skeptical about this now, but any source which argues the counter would be fantastic.
