Crazy idea:
Encrypt it locally, then make a program that encode it into a “video” (as in: using the pixels in the video to store 1s and 0s), upload to youtube.
Voila! Unlimited free and secure storage!

Divine entities could just be an energy, that would technically not be "made of atoms’.
Or it could be a process
Like fire
Or like consciousness
which are not really made of atoms, but a byproduct of atoms interacting

Bruh I can’t even 1 millisecond rule.

Now reflecting back, it was mom that used to tell me to wash my hands, now she doesn’t wash her hands after using the bathroom.
Wtf?

- Comment on Is there a self-help way to deal with fear of germs/"contamination"? 1 day ago:
I mean just being outside my “zone” where I sleep, you know.
Like the closest to bed is where everything is “safe”.
Then like the closer to the door of the room, is where there’s like more “contamination”.
Cuz like… family members and their very… um… unsanitary behaviors that when I was a kid, I didn’t really remember thinking about that stuff too often. But I think after covid, my brain just got into hyperdrive.
I think part of the reason why that my highschool looked very “ghetto” and like it was very dirty, and people put gum in textbooks and on tables…
And I didn’t think too much about it at first, but then idk why right before covid, I’d had a low-key worry about cross-contamination so I avoid going in my room until I showered and get a change of clothes. Then like I also avoid taking my bookbag to my room, and just take the any necessary materials for assignments or whatever.
Like I think it’s just I slowly realized about the floor being very dirty.
Especially like if I have to use the bathroom, I’d have to leave it on the floor of the bathroom stall…
So… I think it just slowly got worse and worse.
Once covid hit…
Oh wait back up a second…
One week before school went online, I ended up detained at the local police station because I defended myself in a school fight… like wtf it’s self-defense…
But anyways… it’s a dirty ass jail cell with a bunch of other kids… that that just pushed my germophobia worse…
I remember when my parents got me out that night, I was feeling more contaminated than ever and had to take a shower and I remember just staying in the shower longer… both because I felt so wronged by the authorities and also because why not… maybe I need a more through shower.
Then… covid…
So after covid got lifted, and I went back to school… that’s when I notice my germophobia just went from 4/10 to 9/10
Then it just goes downhill.
Then I started to notice my family members behaiors.
Not washing their hands after using the bathroom… especially mom, wtf
And also cross-contaminating the trash can with the dining table.
Like literally bringing the trash can and it touched the dining table.
What the fuck?
Sometimes touching the trashcan then not using soap to wash off the germs
Omg
Like just a bunch of very disguisting behaviors
Now whrn I got outside, I’m very afraid someone is gonna cough near me.
I used to open windows in the family car, but now I just keep it tightly closed so outside germs cant get in.
And also if I notice a window open, I immediately tell my dad to close it (only driver’s seat has controls to all 4 windows) and I get very anvious every second it stays open and I’d just be like “CLOSE THE WINDOWS”…
okay I must sound like a freak
I avoid public bathrooms even more intensely now, I also kinda hated them before, but now its a red zone.
Now I’m really reluctant to even go outside.
Don’t even wanna go hug my mom because of the aforementioned unsanitary behaviors.
Feel like I’m going crazy, how do “normal people” even life normally without fearing germs?

Romantic love? No. It’s just people being horny.
Friendship “Love” (友爱)? Ehh… not really… most those who you call “friends” are really just acquaintances.
Sibling “Love” (兄弟姐妹爱)? No… so much abuse…
Paternal/Maternal Love (父母爱)? Sort of, I believe it probably exist somewhere out there, but I got a bad roll of dice this “incarnation” so I got sort of shitty parents…
But at the end of the day, it’s really just brain chemicals.

I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin xD
The comment I replied to said
In a language where the inflection changes the word, how does something like sarcasm work?
I don’t have a lot of interactions with Mandarin speakers outside of having been through 2nd grade in China
So Cantonese is all I know regarding to irl use of sarcasm in a tonal language.
- Comment on It's easier to rhyme in Mandarin than in English 2 days ago:
“Chinese” can refer to a variety of languges in China.
It could refer to 中文 --> Chinese Characters
It could refer to 国语/普通话 --> National Language / Mandarin
If its overseas, the English term “Chinese” could also refers to the overseas lingua franca, which histoically had be Taishanese, but now is Cantonese, and slowly being replaced by Mandarin as more non-Cantonese Chinese people emigrate.
Cantonese-Chinese people usually just ask “識唔識白話” (“Do you speak Cantonese?” in Cantonese), then if no response, immediately switch to Mandarin “普通话？” (“[Do you speak] Mandarin?”)Cantonese, [could be refered to as any of the following: 廣東話/廣州話/廣府話/粵語/白話], is a variety of Chinese known as Yue-Chinese. In Chinese, it’s referred to as a “dialect”. It’s only used in Hong Kong and Guangdong, but overseas it was, and still kinda is, the lingua franca due to most of the diaspora being from there.
Traditional 繁體 is the older set of characters that has been in use for… idk how long but a very long time.
Simplified 简体 is the newer set of characters, standarized by the PRC Government after they won the KMT-CCP Civil War. ROC (aka Taiwan) didn’t adopt these simplifications. Hong Kong also didn’t adopt the simplifications afaik.

Examples from my mother:
When I refuse to eat because I’m mad:
哇，練神仙啊！亦好啊，慳返啲食嘅。(Omg, are you trying to become an immortal being? Great, we can save a lot of money!)
When I told my mom I wanna to 睇橋 (to view a bridge; euphemism for me wanting to jump off a bridge):
使唔使開車載你去啊？(Do you want me to drive you there?)
Always said with a positive happy voice… like when you grow up with someone you understand when it’s sarcasm, the creepy happy voice as if she’s thinking: omg this annoying child, finally I’ll get some sweet relief
Also she jokes about:
謂，你咁唔識珍惜生命，不如帶你返中國換個個細路出來啦。🤗 (Hey, since you don’t really wanna live, why dont I take you back to home to China and find someone else to take your place?) (She means find a lookalike and let them steal my identity, and she’ll pretend to have them as their child)
So yea, just normal family. Totally normal.
Sarcasm is easily detectible. It’s hard to explain, but if you spend enough time around people, you’ll hear it.

Before having US citizenship, I probably would not mention any political things and like be vague about my location.
But now I have US Citizenship, and yes I know it’s not a magic shield, but it’s much better than non-citizens, so now I feel a bit more confident in just saying:
FUCK DONALD TRUMP, TREASONOUS PIECE OF SHIT
I have a lot of anecdotes and I really wanna share and that’ll inevitibly make it easier to track me down… but whatever… I have no one irl that would wanna listen, so I’m gonna tell my story on the internet, leave a permanent mark in history. Hi future historians 👋
I already disclosed my ethnicity and city… I don’t care anymore.
I feel safe sharingthe general area of where I previously lived.
But current location, yes I’d just be vague and the city is the most precise I’m comfortable sharing.
I mean some twitch streamers shate their face, name, and city and their address is still private, I should be fine since I’m a nobody and no names or face is shared.
But I’m still gonna guard my family secrets, well not the abusive things, that I need to vent about, but I’m not gonna tell you where my parents set up shop for example… don’t want any shitheads doing vandalism.
Not gonna tell my name, not gonna show my face.
I mean, I doubt any normie is actually gonna be able to find me from a few anecdotes, you need a lot of government databases to find who I am.
The NSA, tho, I have no doubt that they can find me if targeted this account, but I’m not that scared, there are like a million anti-trump comments online, what are the odds that I get persecuted? (I’m gonna jinks it aren’t I)
Hey if my address get leaked, I have an excuse to move xD, I’m getting tired of this place… but yea I’d try to not intentionally leak it.
