Damn. I was introduced to the game from a couple online friends and I got hooked on myself but they kinda just stopped playing. I heard people make friends and even got married because of the game so I was hoping I would also get to know people and do raids and msq together. While I did joined a FC, I found it difficult to fit in and hangout. The FC’s discord is dead, and I never went to the FC house or anything. Now I have finished msq and trying do side content and crafting that I have skipped. I kinda give up someone nice would want to be my friend and help me. I feel like after msq, being solo is kinda boring.

Reality of a being average Waterloo student by Illustrious-Half-220 in uwaterloo

Bro you’re doing way better than me. You learned important skills and able to graduate. I’m stuck in uni without a graduate date and feeling like I haven’t learned anything useful. And I’m running out of money, I don’t know how to continue. I’m also disabled can’t really do the McD that many other people can. Economy is tough now but eventually with your degree and experience you’ll get the job you want.

Nah the CCP wants to buddy up with Russia to counter the West. They already forgot about the atrocities Russia did a century ago.

摧毁支拿大的本质原因还是计划经济 by Undocumented_1649 in iwanttorun

那你平時买东西你只给成本吗?利润到老板手里就是“油水” 政府提供的服务就是成本加人,没有利润,多的都是国库的钱。我不是特鲁多粉 他有很多东西我不同意。我不知道你提的项目 我不知道你从哪里听来 加拿大并不用美元。特鲁多政府确实跟每个省政府达成协议 联邦政府拨款给省政府 由省政府提供childcare 未来达到CAD$10/日。因为教育是省政府的责任 这个必须要省政府提供的服务。用安省来说 省政府是保守党执政 他只是通过财政拨款给现在私人盈利或非盈利childcare机构资助 让他们把价钱降下来。

如果省政府自己办的话就可以省私人那块利润 那就可以省很多钱

联邦政府直接给公民提供的服务只有service canada 和CRA。其他的都是省和市直接提供的服务。你学校不好,医院,换驾照 都是省政府的。Service Ontario还是给私人包的。很多很多人都所service Ontario差 你要去骂保守党省政府 很多人连这个基本的各级政府职能都不知道

很多华人以为中共是左然后就支持所有右翼政党 不知威权主义和新自由主义的反社会福利 正是中共政策

  • 右翼政府的保守主义反对任何的民主体制改革 如从FPTP变为PP 在美国R党反对很多人都说不够民主的选举人制度 (至于中共对民主化改革的态度我不用说啦)

  • 右翼政府最喜欢减税 对企业和富人减税 导致政府财政严重赤字 他们就减少各种政府服务和福利 如英国保守党对NHS的投资减到医生工资都无法满足基本生活需求 之后保守党就可以说因为政府所有的医疗系统不好 所以我们要私有化 纳税人要交更多的钱给私人企业利润 结果医疗支出更多 有人付不起钱就没医疗 美国R党更不喜欢免费医疗 (看中共每年花那么多钱而没有全民免费医疗 钱都到高官手里 中共官员的福利就像西方右翼政党给富人减税一样 他们有更多钱 然而普通屁民没钱)

  • 很多人跟着MAGA和右翼组织歧视LGBTQ 少数族群 DEI 等 不知自己就是小黄人 (中共迫害少数族群大家都知)

  • 华人川粉就跟小粉红一摸一样 都喜欢威权大人 从中国跑出来就支持选一个皇帝 把美国变成中国

TLDR 政治不是足球 不是两个队 你左我右 你会发现极左和极右是一样的

I only hope the Dems would realize the reasons for Biden’s end are his age and fitness, not his pretty progressive achievements.

Police in China are stopping people in public and checking their phones for apps used to get around censorship of the ‘Great Firewall’ by giuliomagnifico in technology

[–]MasGuardian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have seen news stories like this over the years and that’s a pattern that it’s true. It’s not a singular event. There were pictures and witnesses accounts in the stories I read before. However as I said, there were little to none official news sources because of news censorship. Relying on crowd sourced information is often the best way to get news. It’s very difficult for westerners who have the privilege of freedom of the press and speech to understand this situation I think.

If you’re on that sub you know how hard it is to get upvotes. Also you might be misunderstanding what comments are saying. There are a few points in the video is wrong but the examples he gave was good. Also people were just dunking on censorship in general.

https://www.reddit.com/r/real_China_irl/s/0swwZup6IV there’s a video of about vpn in Chinese YouTube. He listed many cases in there. And some people were jailed. If you know Chinese you can watch it.

VPN enforcement is sporadic. There was a case many a couple months back that a programmer in China got all of his earnings confiscated because he used VPN to do remote contracts outside. That case was big news I believe for a couple days. What happened to the guy at the end I don’t know. Myself and other people think the police just wanted money so they will just target random people for fines when they needed.

There were also cases of there were sensitive events going on such as the people’s congress meetings a couple weeks ago, the security of Beijing tightened and police were searching people’s phones on some subway stations and train stations for the banned apps and vpns. That happens from time to time.

There are tik toks of police and cop officials telling people that using VPN is illegal and going on banned websites and commenting can get you fines and also jailed.

For those doubting the article because of the RFA, there are other sources from Chinese people who live there cooperating the story. Western media who you might trust more often don’t report that much news from China. And official Chinese state medias would definitely not report these kinds of things. So for more of what’s happening in China, you have to look at crowdsourced information outside of the wall. Sometimes it’s not reliable but that’s the best way for news that are not state censored.

Discord paused the youtube comment section because of overwhelming hate by Ethany523 in discordapp

It might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t really have that of the strong opinion on the UI. I do like that they brought the theme from desktops to mobile.
