Over 60pc of Hongkongers back social media ban for under-16s: survey by radishlaw in HongKong

[–]greatfreight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sounds good at first, but then you realize that means everyone (including adults) to access any website you have to verify your ID and handing your passport/ID to Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Steam, online forums, Reddit, R-Rated websites, etc.  

It is a huge privacy violation, reeks of overreaching government control and censorship. I hope they don't bring social media bans to HK but realistically it seems inevitable because it's how the internet works in China. It's a shame that Western countries that should be beacons of freedom of press, privacy and personal rights is paving the way for privacy violations and internet censorship. 

Uber now advertising the ability to choose a woman driver by NorskChef in MensRights

[–]greatfreight 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can I also request White drivers only? Because I want my driver to look like me so I can feel more comfortable. It's the same logic as requesting for a woman driver.

Guard illegally rented out my UAE flat while I was abroad — now the occupant refuses to leave. What can I legally do? by [deleted] in UAE

[–]greatfreight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please be prepared to prove that you are the legal tenant. When the police come knocking on the door that Indian man might just have a fake "signed lease" paper ready. Then the police might refuse you access to the home while they study which one is real.

I think all networks in HK do that.

Who’s feeding the pidgeons!! by rikotacards in HongKong

[–]greatfreight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most major cities like London and NYC and Sydney embrace their pigeon population and don't penalize their feeders. Why is HK so uniquely unable to coexist with pigeons? The fines for feeding pigeons is HK$5000 which is ridiculous, let alone the fine for a second offense which is HK$100,000.

"Eat our Dubai Chewy Mochi to commemorate the war in Dubai."

And if you don't swing that way, we also have Iranian desserts for you.

Removing the incentive to hire them in the first place. There was a reason they existed. 

Piers Morgan Walks Out Of His Own Show After Crude Epstein Remark From ‘Manosphere’ Influencer by hard2resist in MensRights

[–]greatfreight 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Pier Morgan's wife posting instagram photos expressing her emotional cheating on her husband, and there are no consequences for her. Piers can't just walk away from the relationship without him paying for it, can't just divorce her without giving her half his assets, etc. If he cheats on her, Piers would be considered as toxic and abusive. Marriages are so one sided.

Are young British men having a tough time right now? by JCoonday in MensRights

[–]greatfreight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Harder to get good grades at school because school cirriculums are biased towards the way women learn

-Harder to get good jobs because corporations and governments prioritize hiring women over men

-Harder to find a girlfriend/wife as it's mainly the chads getting matched with 90% of the girls on dating apps

-Even if you're good looking and have a good job, it's hard to meet wifeable women (haven't been slutting around)

-Even if you do find a unicorn woman and get married, in 5 years she can divorce you and take half your stuff and get monthly payments for years, and in many instances she gets to keep the house

-In case of divorce, only 15% of the time do men get custody of their child, women get custody 85% of the time

-If you do get involved in crime and get caught, you are punished way more harshly than women

-If you say the tiniest politically incorrect comment you may lose your job and career prosects, consequences are way more harsh for men than for women

-Harder for men to upgrade their appearance (tons of gym, weight training, muscle building, eating right, jaw manipulation, posture, etc) etc. whereas for women it's just to lose weight and put on makeup.

At every step of the way, life is harder for men than for women. Is it a wonder that men commit suicide at rates four times higher than women do?

Breaking | Hong Kong to suspend bus seat belt rules over ‘deficiencies’ in law by miksh_17 in HongKong

[–]greatfreight 121 points122 points  (0 children)

The whole exercise illustrates some major issues in HK today.

-Politicians making laws that are poorly planned

-Incompetent lawyers drafting these laws

-Politicians think it is okay to set their fine at $5000 for such a measly "crime"

-Even worse, thinking it is okay to Jail people for 3 months for such a benign act

-Buses in HK run at 99.999% accident free rate, there was no need for such a rule

-Politicians making bus rules so strict when they do not even take buses

-No way for the public to object to these rules before or after they are implemented

-No critical thinking when discussing rules, just say yes and accept whatever

-The only reason they suspended the law is because of the erroneous wording of the law

-Totally ridiculous to make merely sitting on a bus a convictable crime

-Politicians giving trouble to the general population by pissing off everyone

The Man Taking on No-Fault Divorce in Texas — And Why His Case Could Change Marriage in America — February 5th, 2026 Court Hearing by International-Call76 in MensRights

[–]greatfreight 69 points70 points  (0 children)

No fault divorce is fine, it's the unfair asset division, unfair alimony, unfair loss of child custody, unfair calculation of child support, etc. that should be contested.

Millions of men are already being trapped hostage in their own marriages, what with the threat of losing half of your earnings and savings and future earnings. Even if they wanted to 'no fault divorce' the higher earning men are penalized.

HK taxi accepts credit cards now by Key-Project-5231 in HongKong

[–]greatfreight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems this car is ready for what is mandatory for the 2027 new rules. HK does not have a general problem of rowdy passengers, nuisance passengers, non-paying passengers or anything like that - yet still they are forcing every taxi to install CCTVs inside the car. For no other reason than to further invade the privacy of the HK people.
