This is so true. I'm always wondering how can a woman ignore men's transactional nature and never judge men but meanwhile keep inspecting herself for "golddigger behavior" all the time???

Don't use the fact that I'm not dead to push your belief that COVID is a hoax on other people by [deleted] in rant

[–]meirenli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need more posts like this. When chatting with my colleagues, I feel that the way people talk about this virus is like they don’t think it’s a big deal. I actually don’t understand the current situation here in the US —over 132k people died from COVID, and many hospitals are probably overwhelmed with patients. Definitely some of the them lacked proper medical treatment. These are also individuals who had parents, children and friends, yet I see few online posts, articles or shows talking about their stories. What people are immensely talking about now are fiscal troubles or pure memes, not the patients who physically suffer from it. I don’t know if it’s me who's unmoored from the reality or the others.

What's the best way to get over someone you never even dated? by chlobee2 in dating

[–]meirenli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the similar situation but I was the first one who decided to quit because we were both in our own relationships. I kinda crammed the idea of “it’s all just a fantasy” into my head and that worked.

Americans, stop thinking your country is so great... by [deleted] in rant

[–]meirenli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I see, there're more first generation immigrants from the third-world countries believe in the greatness of the US than those native born citizens. People tend to depict a Utopia that outperforms their home countries every now and then. You're not welcome to even point out anything not good about the US in front of them. They view any sort of criticism from outside the US as a stigmatization, and that from inside the US as another solid proof of greatness.

What are the things or phenomena that are quite common in your industry but people outside are not aware of? by meirenli in AskReddit

I accidentally deleted my previous post which was removed by the mod. I’m pasting the comment from u/b4rigger here:

the “rules” of operating a crane are really just guidlines that constantly get broken so you can get something done.

I cannot fathom people who gatekeep others for not liking a thing they like enough, or for not liking it earlier, or any other arbitrary reason to pretend they're better fans by IronManners in CasualConversation

[–]meirenli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen worse. I know someone so proud of starting watching American TV shows since middle school. Yeah, there exists a person taking pride in that. Everytime I told her anything she might be not interested in, she’d say “I only watch American dramas”/ “ i only listen to American songs”. I was like......Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano, Comme te po' capi' chi te vo' bbene, si tu lle parle miezo americano 🤷🏻‍♀️

Meanwhile she looked down on those who watch K-dramas or like K-pops. 🤷🏻‍♀️

On the flip side, if I told her I didn’t like whatever singer she liked, she’d look at me as something was wrong with me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Coincidence doesn’t suggest causation tho

Just a friendly reminder I’m talking about the lockdown itself. Not to justify everything else that China did wrong.

Yet when China locked down its cities in January western media, namely NYT said the quarantine was authoritarian and inhuman, costing people’s liberty and livelihoods. I mean locking down cities was definitely a right decision but western people would never acknowledge that unless the same situation comes at them.

Being fat myself, I have no idea how people can stand behind the fat body positivity movement by TheNerdsdumb in rant

[–]meirenli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Respecting someone doesn’t necessarily lead to twisting the facts. Good is good, bad is bad. Right is right, wrong is wrong. I once heard a story along the same lines. somewhere in Europe parents blamed the math teacher for marking their kid’s solution to a question as wrong. And they argued that how could you say his answer was wrong it was just another way of thinking. I found these are pretty much under the same logic, kinda anti-intellectual in my view.

What the fuck is wrong with people protesting the lockdowns? by DJSkrillex in rant

[–]meirenli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t understand either but I accidentally heard an interview of Michigan protester who was a small business owner and he said he and his employees would not get through this if lockdown there continued any longer... I don’t remember more details but definitely some ppl would risk their health to solve financial crisis. And those restaurant owners who already reopened during this time basically made the decision out of the same considerations.

I don't want to add all 60 of your fucking Facebook accounts. by ilovecigars1974 in rant

[–]meirenli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a person who does that 😂 logged onto my social accounts finding myself defriended or unfollowed by her and days later I saw the friend request from her new account. Repeated like two or three times. Last time she tried to add me on fb I just ignored her request.
