some of the gymnastics in this thread are hilarious. critical support is a thing you can criticize china’s various Ls while still supporting the chinese people.

how does reddit have /r/piracy but lemmy.world doesn’t?

lol

A screenshot of a Twitter post without any context from an account well known to simp for China

dumb and off topic who cares

Meanwhile their housing market, which they use as a massive investment vehicle, crumbles further.

legit tho. it’s a problem China is absolutely dealing with. the gdp for 2023 was still 5.2% even though gdp is stupid.

Who is Xu Juayin? Who is Jack Ma?

i’m too lazy to do an internet search but iirc Jack Ma is a rich asshole

Oddly it wouldn’t seem entirely like that since when it shut down they basically forced it to reopen.

completely right i overlooked that rather important detail. chain/mass emailing all mods at once without really thinking it through maybe?

that’s the piracy sub… the userbase was pissed at the idiot mods taking the sub down for the API protest, which reddit was obviously super happy about the pirate sub closing down.

i’m pretty sure they regularly railed against the idiot mods to the point that the mods said fuck this and left

you spent 20 minutes going through this while i just ran a ping test in 30 seconds

it’s real

i’ve got some irrational nerd rage going on right now reading this

less about google, more about the individuals who programmed this. holy hell

Cleon XII

bidet, electric water kettle, air fryer, pour over coffee, USB desk fan, portable electric heater, air purifier doubling as white noise maker, melatonin, metal tongue scraper, quality kitchen knife / sharpener, fleece Sherpa lined sweatshirt hoodie, wool socks, weekend at Bernie’s type sunhat, portable water purifier, ceramic pans,

okay but that catch 22 album was fucking fire tho

don’t nitpick or criticize or yell or grief them. they know. trust me: they know. it’ll only make things worse if you reinforce the shit thoughts they already have about themselves.

just support and be nice, patient and help.

jack trimpey rational recovery is godsend. allison carr the easy way. 30 day trial is good.

psychiatrist for naltrexone or other blockers are, legit, the secret.

support groups to talk to people things like life ring, other secular groups they can google.

id avoid AA. no, i won’t elaborate

wow so Lord of the Flies completely stole that plot-line from Yellowjackets?

authors can’t write anything original anymore smh smh

lol

c# is absolutely a laser rifle strapped donkey nothing has ever spoken to me so much b4

libreDIRECT firefox extension and then set piped instance to piped.video , it’s pret nice

any youtube link or click you do will go to the piped.video “version” instead.

Night in the Woods. Start to finish. It has so many moments where you just pause and go “…shit.” It’s the most perfect game ever made.

Also FF7. White teenage boy complex with Aeris for sure, but also blowing up oil facilities, killing CEOs, and Red XIII’s story. It’s wild to me the themes that this game gets across in Discs 1-2.

mostly from different subreddits i follow. others are record companies, and youtube channels like audiotree, kexp, tiny desk

TOP OF THE LIST: bidet (duh),

electric water kettle (fuck gas stoves and also faster),

$3 metal tongue scrapper (clean ass mouth),

noise cancelling headphones (it’s amazing not going back),

slow cooker (it’s impressive how lazy i am. spend an hour cruising slow cooking recipes on reddit/chaptgpt, pick out 10+, set for life),

piratebay

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

50+ pack of small white rags and using those instead of paper towels. simple washer after all used to reuse

cheap air purifier in room @ night, clean air and dual white noise maker.

small $10 desk usb fan. fuck running the A/C just turn this guy on.

electric space heater. depending on your climate, you don’t need central gas heat just get space heater and shut the door to the room you’re in.

just as a heads up i did the workaround linked in OP’s post and it worked for me

piped fucking rules tho
