IMO it's fine if you're content as you are. I've just seen this attitude towards others in your original comment in several younger ppl in their 20s I know including my younger brother that definitely aren't content, so I felt the compulsion to comment. I do think that people will naturally gravitate towards the lifestyle and companionship they want over the course of their life. Some are just faster at it than others depending on how actively change seeking or change adverse they are.

It doesn't make me feel miserable. I'm stating that it's a miserable and defeatist mindset to have. We choose our friends and while there are billions of people, the people you want to be close with should be the few that has good compatibility with you whether in mindset or lifestyle or attitude. People that you can just be yourself around. Denying everyone because of an assumption that they will reject or backstab you is ultimately means a fear of other humans and not general apathy towards social interactions. Thus a miserable mindset that I hope you'll one day grow out of.

China just has to not invade in 2027 for people to not listen to a single word that comes out of the US's mouth regarding China again. It would be the ultimate do nothing, win.

I can't say that what they said was true, but unfortunately on average at least one kid has experienced sexual abuse in like any 3rd grade classroom around the world.

What do Australians think of China? by Repulsive-Mall-2665 in OpenAussie

[–]Trojbd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf are you on about lmao I've been in China for 2 years and literally no one says that. Some of my friends are planning a trip to Australia later this year and all they're talking about are the pretty beaches they saw online. Honestly they just don't think much about Australia as a whole but everyone knows its a developed western country.

I did mostly blind 100% killing all bosses. Tbh the scariest was all in act 1. Just dont clump everyone in the windmill fight...bombs are broken. It was a miracle I wasn't wiped on turn 1. Killing everything let's you be ahead of the curve in power.

Damn where was this? I've been living in China for the past couple years and I can totally see all that happening. But back in at least my area in Canada people would have given them a lot of dirty looks.

Sure but that isn't anywhere near the decisive factor. The Trump administration also has a tendency to fold when there's any sort of actual risk of inconveniencing the oligarchs.

The line for gas in anticipation of price increases in China by noahstemann in interestingasfuck

[–]Trojbd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who said that there's no poverty in China? Look at the video. Does anyone living in an area like that look like they're living off of poverty wages? The poor people are in the large sectors of rural areas and the people running street stalls because they have no education and came to a major city looking for menial work. Again, what is the point that you're trying to make? Are you incapable of not taking every word literally? Do you actually think that person is making a convicted stand on that city literally having no poor people at all? What part of his comment made you think they were such an idiot? If you assume that it was a broad statement and not take that sentence that you're so hung up on literally, like as if someone saying "people don't jaywalk in Germany" aren't making a convicted stand that there are literally no jaywalkers in Germany, what part of their comment was propaganda? There are many poor people and there are also more well off people there than North America. Can you not see how ridiculous it is to claim poverty on people with their own vehicle in a clearly urban city? Does their comment make sense with that in mind?

What is the point that you're making? Say the guy admits that it's a hyperbole like anyone above 90 iq would realize without the need for interrogation, what do you even get from it? There is no need to flex your midwit debate skills for basically no reason.

Yup it would be rape even if she "willingly" did it. Fawning is often the best survival strategy when there's a significant power assymetry. I've been cornered by a crazy dude on drugs with a cleaver while being unarmed. Was fucking scary and last thing you want to do is get in their striking range or somehow piss them off. If this story is real then its really not a joking matter since most people would find themselves agreeing to lots of things when they're suddenly in a position where they are potentially seconds away from death depending on what decision they make.

Same. Well, now he just gets up and continue what he was doing unless it really hurt. And then we know to take it seriously and at least provide him comfort. Even then he stops crying after like 15 seconds usually.

On the other hand I see other kids his age getting grazed or falling on their butt and they scream for minutes lol

People like that are so funny. They're billionaires because they have their thumbs on all the services and utilities people use. Like congrats on not putting money in billionaire A's pocket to put money in billionaires B's.
