I’m glad cultivation stories happen in ancient China primarily and not modern times tbh.
Could you imagine being in the Top 10 Strongest Cultivator list and one day some young upstart defeats you and suddenly everyone on Twitter is talking about “Unc fell off” or some shit?

@ledinnerblaster @found_it_funny 3rd world housewives don't know english and are on instagram, tiktok and whatsapp, not X. Now that you mention it, I saw a lot of Chinese and Korean feminists post the most schizo stuff. Maybe instead of housewives, it's young bitter women from Asia? Likes number is still weird.

@randomletter16 @found_it_funny Someone on here once theorized the numbers might be from stay-at-home wives from 3rd world countries like India or Indonesia who do nothing all day but scroll their phones. Also tracks why they only boost the dumbest feminazi stuff bc men in their countries are ACTUALLY trash.

@NotPotBol Koreans are stealing money from the other three too. Japanese less so than before but they're still taking a lot of money from the others. Seems like the only losers here are Americans.

Gatcha games just be gambling but for anime PNG’s, however it does also result in stealing a lot of money from Japanese, Americans, and Koreans and giving it to China so IMPOSSIBLE to say if they are bad.
English
@NahimanaRaoul It's not NTR because if the relationships had not yet happened but for other netori stories, obviously people have double standards where they don't want bad things to happen to them but if doing bad things to others benefits them, they'll find way to justify it.
English
There’s always a debate about the morality of NTR, yet when an isekai MC takes the original protagonist’s love interest under the excuse that it “hasn’t happened yet,” no one seems to question it.
I find it interesting no one calls this out and even praises it.

@untitled_ave At least jp has ton of interesting media. Can't imagine how people do immersion in other languages. What do esperanto learner even read? Newspapers?

The holy see trying to put a blanket restriction on Christian use of a particular weapons system is the most trad papal action imaginable but mfs will still say this is woke.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV just called for the permanent abolition of aerial bombing — a first for any pope. “Airplanes should always be vehicles of peace, never war. No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky.” The demand came as Trump’s war against Iran entered week four. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-xiv…

@uncle_deluge Vanity is what drives most public display of altruism, especially with the decline of religion. If you get rid of all performative acts and hypocrisy in the world, probably like 90% of charity will disappear. Rich kids throwing scraps to the poor for clout is better than nothing.

I'm loath to comment on what is functionally celebrity gossip but does he truly feel no shame whatsoever? You, ostensibly communist, arrive in a country with untold poverty. Hospitals are losing power while you sit in a 5-star hotel with generators running just for you

@left_plain East Asian geopolitical tensions be like, "That country calls me names.".

@moorehn Is literature analysis just the classic novels equivalent of yuri shippers insisting anime characters are gay because they talk to each other?
English
Gatsby has long been taught as a potentially Jewish character. In the book the narrator sees him meeting with Jewish mobsters. It is, in fact, his potential Jewishness that explains both why Daisy will not marry him and why white supremacist eugenics makes an appearance in the book at the dinner party as a verbal assault against him. But the right doesn't take literature classes, so.

@UnshadowedBones Normies could live in the most impoverished third world slum, work like a slave 12 hours a day and eat straight from a trashcan yet have little mental issues and still push out 10 children. Something went wrong with us and now we lack basic adjusting mechanism to handle life.

"Just stop using your phone"
"You weren't like this before"
"Why are you not happy anymore"
"Other kids are dealing with worse stuff"
"That only happens because you have too much free time"
"At my age, I was already being productive instead of whining"

Venting to your parents about mental health and they start talking about you having a roof over your head

@at_fome Terrible example because very few sport fans care about doping. Well depend on the sports too. I think Lance Armstrong got flak because cycling fans are liberal redditors but I doubt NFL or strongman fans care.
English
The best analogy I’ve found to explain my distaste for genAI to normies is sports. You watch athletes compete because they inspire you with their physical prowess. You feel disappointed when you find out someone took steroids because it detracts from their athletic journey

@Toddellz The worst person you know looked at this tweet and thought they're the sympathetic person here.

@def_not_GF @S1apSh0es People get nostalgic for everything because they're afraid of the passage of time
English
@S1apSh0es I can't believe people are getting nostalgic for florescent lighting. What is happening?!?!
English
Was it a film effect or did we do something to interior lighting where we don’t get that green glow from the windows anymore?

Main cited reasons are climate change, population growth and agriculture tho. Data centers are only mentioned in an offhand comment and it even called for AI to be used in water monitoring. Well I haven't actually read the report, just an article about it.

@Wsjp11 Only reason Japanese are beloved is because of their tatemae culture

It's funny how I see non Western countries complaining about how they dislike the propaganda they do about their country and culture but few minutes ago I saw a Japanese tweet about how Africans are too stupid to do agriculture getting 100k+ likes with bunch of ingorant Japanese
