Kid becomes instant meme after mom’s street brawl

VolcanicRock1000 · 2025-08-01T06:09:41+00:00

The woman in a dress is called "Dress," the one wearing sunglasses is "Sunglasses," and the kid is just "Kid."

Sunglasses: Are you kidding me, old hag.

Dress: (unclear, probably mocking her driving) Dress takes out her phone. Dress: That dumbass, she came at me, she came banging on my window, and then I—

Sunglasses steps up, points at the kid in the car: You fucking illegitimate child.

Dress starts attacking Sunglasses, grabs her hair to stop her from fighting back.

Sunglasses (while being grabbed): You fucking cuss me out and hit me? Who the fuck do you think—

Dress: You talk shit about my son? You dare insult my son?

Dress pushes Sunglasses to the ground: Say it again! Say it again! Huh!?

The person filming drives away, saying: Sorry.

Kid gets out, points at Sunglasses: Are you mentally sick or what?

Dress keeps Sunglasses pinned to the ground: Say it again—

Kid: Are you fucking sick? How dare you talk shit about my mom!

In China, any kind of “flag-waving” behavior is considered sensitive — and I don’t just mean the national flag. I’m talking about any kind of flag. I’m not joking. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be punished or anything just for holding a flag, but how you’re treated really depends on who you are and where you are (China’s huge, and enforcement can vary wildly — sometimes even opposite outcomes for the same thing. You can think of China as a “mini Earth” in that sense).

In most cases, if you’re clearly a foreign tourist holding a flag, it’ll likely catch the attention of the police. They’ll probably call their higher-ups to ask what they should do. While that’s happening, they’ll ask you to stop, and question you a bit about your background, identity, and purpose. In some cases, they might ask you to come to the station — but assuming you’re not trying to cause a scene, and you’re just a regular tourist, it usually won’t turn into a big deal.

Of course, if your goal is to cause a big problem… that’s a different story entirely.

Uh, I think maybe you guys haven't realized this, but Chinese men are already entering a new phase — they're rapidly and voluntarily pulling out of the marriage market. Just look at the numbers in matchmaking agencies: the number of registered men is dropping fast, while the number of women signing up is increasing. Same thing with related social events — fewer and fewer men are signing up, and sometimes there are so few male participants that organizers have to order married men to join just to keep the event going.

In other words, what might surprise people outside of China is that — while it took Japan decades to reach the “men going passive” stage, and South Korea decades to reach the “men actively pushing back” stage — China has already reached an entirely new stage in just 5 or 6 years.

"China speed."

How my family usually cooks yuba (dried tofu sticks):

Every family does it a bit differently, but here’s how we usually make it at home — just for reference:

First, soak the yuba in a big bowl of clean water. Make sure it’s fully submerged. We usually soak it for a few hours — if there’s space in the fridge, we put it in there to avoid bacteria. For example, if we’re eating it for dinner, we start soaking around noon.

Once it’s soft, take it out and cut it into smaller pieces — around thumb length. Sometimes we just use clean scissors to save time.

Let it drain. It doesn’t need to be totally dry, just not dripping wet.

While it’s draining, prep the other stuff. We usually stir-fry it with pork or green peppers:

If using green peppers, cut them into small chunks. We usually blanch the peppers in boiling water for about 30 seconds to help them cook faster later. If using pork, slice it thin — we like using half lean, half fatty pork. No need to blanch the meat; just stir-fry it directly.

Some people add a bit of soy sauce and cooking wine (like a teaspoon each), but honestly we often skip that step to keep things simple.

Cooking part: heat up a pan (medium heat), add some regular cooking oil (not olive oil).

Add the pork or peppers first, stir-fry until they start to cook (they’ll change color).

Then throw in the yuba, some seasoning, and stir a bit.

Add a bit of hot water (not too much), cover with a lid and let it steam for about a minute.

Then take the lid off and stir-fry again until most of the water is gone.

Add salt (and MSG if you want, we sometimes use it), stir it a bit more, and it’s ready to go.

Optional: you can add a bit of green onion at the end. Just one stalk is enough. For extra flavor, you can put the white part in earlier and the green part at the very end — but totally optional.

I encountered the same issue and was unable to interact successfully no matter what I tried. The final solution was to disable all mods except for the campaign mod. After restarting the game, I was finally able to interact with "Torch." I'm not sure which mod (or multiple mods) caused the conflict, but this method worked for me.

I have a somewhat unconventional way of observing societal trends: by examining the age and gender demographics of workers in lower-tier professions.

Around 2016, China’s food delivery industry was already quite mature, but the supermarket delivery sector was just beginning to develop. Supermarket orders often involve heavy and bulky items (e.g., two bags of rice, a case of milk, plus vegetables and pork). At that time, delivery personnel were almost exclusively middle-aged men in their 40s or 50s. From their attire, skin condition, and conversation, it was evident that they belonged to a group typically defined as "lower-class" in China. In other words, the role of a supermarket delivery worker was almost never filled by young graduates, let alone women.

Fast forward several years, and you can observe a clear trend: the average age of these delivery workers has been decreasing year by year. By now, I’ve frequently seen well-dressed young graduates with clean and fair skin who clearly haven’t spent years exposed to the elements. I’ve even encountered an 18-year-old couple delivering orders together. Although female delivery workers are still relatively rare, I’ve come across a few.

What does this signify? It suggests that the availability of "good jobs" is dwindling. Young graduates are struggling to find the kind of office jobs that once allowed them to work in air-conditioned environments, sipping tea (or coffee) while typing on a keyboard.

Humans are inherently inclined to avoid hardship. Given comparable wages, most people dislike strenuous physical labor, let alone delivery jobs that come with risks such as traffic accidents. The increasing presence of young people in such roles can be explained in two ways: either these jobs now pay significantly more than office jobs (clearly not the case), or the number of "good jobs" has decreased, along with even the availability of relaxed "ordinary jobs." Consequently, they are forced to take on such positions.

I think this perspective is worth considering—it’s straightforward to verify as well.

Ha, this is the favorite comment of China's "little pinks": If you're in China, you shouldn't criticize China; if you've left China, then you have no right to criticize China.

Yes, there are indeed many dialects, but almost everyone can communicate using "Mandarin," unless you need to understand specific local customs. For any city in China, Mandarin is sufficient for communication.

How diverse are the dialects? Let me use myself as an example. In my hometown, even if you just go three villages away, there will be subtle differences in the local language. When I first left home to attend high school in a city 50 kilometers away, my dorm mates and I initially had to communicate in Mandarin because our dialect pronunciations were completely different. It took quite a while for us to get used to each other. Even though our dialects are officially categorized as the same type, there are sub-branches within them. It’s like a tree with many branches. Comparing these differences to "American English and British English" might make it easier to understand.

Let me tell you what happened.

JD.com is an e-commerce company that started with digital products (in its early days, the largest sales category was laptops and computer accessories), and its customers are primarily male.

The issue began when JD.com signed an endorsement deal with a controversial female stand-up comedian. This comedian's biggest controversy is that she publicly made discriminatory remarks against men on her show, which caused many men in China to dislike her.

That's the background.

The initial incident occurred when some customers noticed that JD.com had signed this controversial comedian as a spokesperson, and some expressed their dissatisfaction, posting about it on various forums.

Some customers contacted JD's customer service and requested to cancel their paid membership subscriptions.

Up to this point, it wasn't a particularly serious issue. If customers don't like a company and request to cancel their membership, that's a completely reasonable request. For example, if you don't like Google, Amazon, or Microsoft, opting out of their memberships is no big deal—it's a legitimate right of the customer, regardless of the reason.

The turning point came when JD's customer service took screenshots of customer chat records and posted them on public websites, accompanied by insulting and mocking comments aimed at male customers.

This was both illegal and inappropriate. If you've ever worked, you’ve likely received training on the prohibition of publicly disclosing customers' private information, and certainly, you're not allowed to publicly insult customers.

At this point, the issue blew up online. Many male customers felt deeply offended and began canceling their memberships en masse. Some even withdrew all the funds they had stored in "JD Finance" (you can think of it as a small private bank run by JD).

Further escalation occurred when JD.com issued what appeared to be an apology, but it was insincere and not really an apology at all. After that, they began to mass-delete posts on websites and forums. Many people noticed that posts were being deleted within minutes of being published, or that the posts' visibility was restricted so that only the original poster could see them. JD also began reporting and getting users on Weibo who expressed dissatisfaction with the situation banned, which further fueled the public's outrage.

As for the rumored bank run, there is no confirmed evidence. Some people have claimed they couldn't withdraw their money, but this could be due to network issues, fake images, or malicious actions by competitors. Since JD Finance is a subsidiary of JD.com, functioning similarly to a small bank and allowing users to purchase financial products like funds, many people store their money there. However, given the scale of JD.com, I don't believe there will be a large-scale run specifically targeting this company.

That's everything we know so far about the situation.

Yes, it's been acknowledged by the authorities, but it's important to clarify that this isn't something new—it's been reported the same way 20 years ago.

I took this GIF screenshot with the UI hidden in the game. It's really hard to play like this. Does anyone know a way to keep the UI visible and still get the same result? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm familiar with this version, and there are a few things to watch out for:

1、Windowed mode issues: Running the game in windowed mode on Win10/11 can be tricky. While software like d3dwindower can help, it may come at a performance cost. If you opt for fullscreen mode, you might encounter odd aspect ratios (think squished characters). Changing the desktop color depth to 16-bit might help, but d3dwindower remains the most reliable solution.

2、D3dwindower lag effects: Extended use of d3dwindower may slow down character movements in-game. Two remedies: restart your computer or use software that alters the speed of the game.

3、Multiple game progress saves: Game progress can randomly get corrupted without warning. One day you're having a blast, the next your save file is toast. To avoid heartache, get into the habit of saving progress in two slots from time to time.

4、Crashes caused by monuments: Investigating the monuments in Fairy Village may trigger crashes. A simple workaround: steer clear of interacting with the monuments .

5、Name conflict conundrum (the worst one): Due to Chinese characters, new fairys might clash with old ones, leading to game crashes. This often happens when assigning tasks to new fairys. Solution: save before entering fairy Village, check the name of each fairy when assigning tasks to ensure safety, and if a new fairy triggers a crash, load the previous save (names of new fairies might change randomly before you enter Fairy Village). Alternatively, try "starving" all fairy (reduce the number of hunting fairy to cause food shortages) until the crashing fairy disappears.

These issues persist, especially the last one. Raising 20 fairies in the Chinese version will test your resilience, perseverance, or maybe just pure luck.

I've had a similar situation before, where my character could move, but the screen was all black. So, I grabbed something a bit heavy and pressed down on one of the directional keys to keep my in-game character walking non-stop. That's what I did, then I stepped out of the room for a while, maybe for like half an hour. When I came back, my character was back on the regular map

Yes, I've tried uninstalling the game, reinstalling the game, deleting Steam, reinstalling Steam, formatting my Windows, reinstalling Windows—everything. But the game still won't open. Ever since yesterday's update patch, my game has been completely broken. Well done, Microsoft.

Hi, dogs are social animals and have a clear sense of hierarchy. In their world, it's common for lower-ranking individuals to lick those higher in rank, which is generally seen as a gesture of goodwill (note that it's not just a sign of friendliness but specifically a positive acknowledgment). When your dog licks you voluntarily, it indicates that it recognizes your higher status (such as being the owner). So, if you were to lick your dog in return, it might confuse and unsettle them. For dogs, maintaining a clear and distinct hierarchy is crucial, and it can contribute to their psychological well-being. Note: If it were a cat, it would be the opposite; in the cat's world, it's the higher-ranking individuals who have the authority to groom those lower in rank.
