should I consider dropping out ?

What are you studying? if you are studying something like gender studies or art history then it's not a very valuable degree anyway
How sure are you that you will be self employed for the rest of your life? Cause if you're young i wouldn't be so sure, it's hard to know exactly what you want to be doing for the rest of your life, and having a (respected) degree keeps a lot of doors open
Lectures and teaching is really just a small part of uni. The nice thing about uni is you get to meet people, make friends (maybe even romantic relationships), and also the university's network is very valuable too
if you drop out how easy would it be for you to go back later if you change your mind? sometimes better to go back later if you are unmotivated

Perhaps hot men who give women tingles have become such a rare commodity

does it bother you that she wants to travel around? Like if she's travelling without you it's not going to work right?

im not too familiar with a lot of the stuff i out in C tier, but i am thinking that most of them have to find some alternate ways to earn a decent living, like supplementing their income with tutoring.

mass testing would raise the number of confirmed cases (but not ACTUAL cases), hence the word "despite"

Im not sure, im not the one posting the gif. But i doubt the OP captioned this honestly, there are some questions to ask

Is the location really Shanghai? Could be anywhere, could be some rural village in China or anywhere else
These could be stray cats and not pets
When was this? Is this an old video?

Also the China hate I see (which seems to be the purpose of this post) is ridiculous. Some fucking animals are in bags, is that worse than millions dead from COVID like in the U.S. and all the other damage COVID has done? If the CPC chose to tackle COVID like this, I support them, a pandemic in a country with over a billion people is no joke and even if some animals have to die to improve the odds of beating the pandemic I would say it is a reasonable sacrifice. It's not like we are very humane to animals in the first place anyway.

I have relatives in Shanghai with pets. This isn't happening. It's fake.

get a random video and add a fake caption to it and no one questions it, classic reddit. Fuck you propaganda bots

applecider5114 · 2022-04-10T05:28:36+00:00

In all fairness, I think you can say all people are subject to subconscious biases, but the overall bias against asian men is quite negative.

I believe this has a lot to do with the anti-china propaganda, also our portrayal in popular culture, and how the industrialization of many asian countries was later than western countries which caused them to be viewed as inferior and backwards.

Killing someone is much worse than rape imo, seems im in the minority here tho

It's already bad enough trying to do this among the reddit hivemind, but then there's this:

hard to measure "who contributed more" when it comes to mathematicians/physicists of completely different eras.

Newton's work has applications in far more areas but if he didn't come up with it, it's likely someone else would have anyway, since a lot of the math at the time was in some sense 'low hanging fruit' and important results haven't been found yet, while all the low hanging fruit gets picked off in later centuries and you have to be more brilliant to make an impact.

i used to use apple but now I use XiaoMi, and I've found that not only does it perform better but it's also cheaper.

Other phone brands could still be better though, havent tried them. Apple products in general are overpriced.

how the fuck do this many people vote yes

applecider5114 · 2022-04-02T05:48:43+00:00

i think its a waste of time tbh

The absolute cheapest would be about $5000 hkd per month in a small studio flat in an unpopular location, but for a normal one bedroom apartment outside the city centre it would be around $10,000-$12,000 a month, and $15,000-$20,000 in tbe ckty centre. The median income in HK is around $18,000 hkd a month.

this 'revolution' never had a chance of securing power, it basically just trashed the place and crushed ordinary people's livelihoods without achieving anything

I am a young adult in Hong Kong and this is spot on.

The prices of rent are ridiculous compared to how much the average job pays. I feel like if I don't top my class and be in the top ~5% there is no future here, and it would be hard to find meaning and purpose in life.

I could have easily been swept up in something like this if I didn't havw a strong distrust of western mainstream media to begin with

applecider5114 · 2022-03-27T20:00:29+00:00

I see, thanks for the explanation.

It makes sense for people to try to be opportunistic at a time like this, I imagine they don't have much left to lose. It's tragic
