No, wait, he’s got a point…

As excited as I am to see my home city actually growing and gaining national attention, I miss the chill cow-town vibes. Traffic is only gonna get worse from here.

I want whatever you’re on

I mean, what could the rest of the world reasonably do aside from starting a world war over it? Sanctions might punish the Chinese economy, but they won’t un-occupy HK.

That is indeed the kind of thing one could make inferences from.

Would you rather the Chinese be allowed to have their way with the entirety of the Asia-Pacific region? Based on what we’ve seen in Hong Kong I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Porque no los dos?

Thanks, I’ll try qbit then!

I live in the US, what do you think are the chances I’ll face repercussions for a a terabyte or two of music and such? I just set up proton VPN and I’m using utorrent.

Thanks!

Can you imagine how heavy one of those would be at full scale?

Not that much money though.

IDK why people are downvoting you, that’s essentially how it works. Everything is super interconnected now, but it wasn’t always that way and the constitution hasn’t been updated to reflect it.

Oh there is absolutely poverty. I’m specifically referencing what the commenter above me was discussing, which is a trend on social media of finding a bad area of town, taking pictures from 40 different angles, and presenting it as though American cities are nothing but miles upon miles of tent encampments and despair. I will admit I have only ever lived in the rust belt, so it may very well be like that in other places, but in general you see one or two small areas of extreme poverty mixed with working class, a few rough-ish neighborhoods adjacent to those, and the rest is pretty quiet, if not always the most affluent. By your description, it sounds like Chinese law enforcement keeps closer tabs on people through mass surveillance rather than active patrolling. Personally I’d rather have more crime and fewer government CCTVs, but to each their own.

Propaganda. Every city has one or two neighborhoods (usually full of working class minorities) where police dump the homeless and addicts from everywhere else. Each of those areas has one or two particularly bad streets that look like shit and make for great fear mongering.

Off topic but you HAVE listen to this song at least once before you go. The whole album is one of my favorites.

IDK man my toaster oven works pretty well
