TIL about the Murder of Ashley Zhao, a 5 year old girl who was beaten to death by her mother, and then the mother hid the body in the family restaurant with help from Ashley's father.

Because I'm trying to shred light on fucked up families...
Because I'm Chinese American and came to the US at a young age and this resonates with me,
Because I have seen how stressful my parents got...
Stuggling to make money...
Rent payments every 30 days...
And I have memories of mom yelling at me a lot as a sort of emotional outlet...
Because I, although I don't know the history of this family, I can imagine what the immigrant experience is...
I could totally see a timeline where my mom would've lost control and murdered me when I was "misbehaving"
Is shocking how the difference between a struggling family that perservered and survived, and a crime scene that tore a family apart, is just that one moment of rage and losing control under a system that is so rough and causes so much stress and frustration.
My mom did not murder me in this timeline.
But here we have someone's mom who did.
It's just very... idk how to say this... intriguing(?) to learn the difference between my family and others... we all came from the same place... similar struggles...
Yet... such vast outcomes...
And I also sometimes envision a timeline where we have a "more perfect" family-dynamics.

If you could magically form new nations, which would you break away or unify? (non-serious)

This is site is gonna be western-centric so I'd not even bother with those countries:

So my answer is:

Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guangdong Province become one nation

Republic of Yue (粵共和國)

Historically we came from a common group of people... so... this make sense lol

A lot of Vietnamese words are similar to Cantonese.

So we just make this a dual-language nation of Cantonese + Vietnamese (plus we'd give protected status for minority languages/"dialects" and allow schools in their regions to use 50% of the time to use their language/"dialect" only, the other 50% they have to pick either Cantonese or Vietnamese as the main language, and also the other one become their sort of like "minor" language studies in college terms... so this de facto means the Northern part of this nation use Cantonese, Southern part use Vietnamese as the main one...

So someone running for president of the Republic of Yue is legally required to pass fluency test in both national languages to make sure people are united...

Oh fun fact: the 粵 Chinese character (as in 粵語/Cantonese) representing Guangzhou and Cantonese related words, and the 越 Chinese character in 越南 (Vietnam) are pronounced the exact same in both Cantonese and Mandarin.

Anyways... I'm gonna tag my favorite HKer on Lemmy @NorthWestWind@lemmy.world

Hope you'd enjoy living in our Republic of Yue fantasy where Cantonese is a national language for once (can you imagine if Cantonese won the debate to become China's official language? 🥹)

/non-serious of course... but this would be a very funny country... imagine Cantopop with Vietnamese sprinkled inside? lolol

Tip for passwords in general:

Create a password, but don't actually use it yet.

Like... make an empty account for Bitwarden (or if you use Keepass, make an empty database) with that password, then keep logging in every 5 minutes or so... for like 3 times... then log in like every 1 hours or so for lile 3 hours... then ever 6 hours...

etc...

make sure you spend like 1 or 2 days doing this routine... of logging in every X time to get it committed to memory...

THEN after you know its memorized, start using the Bitwarden account (or Keepass database).

Also if you are using Bitwarden, pay like one time for the premium (its yearly but you can cancel the renew).

Set up emergency access to anoyher Bitwarden accouny with a secondary email

Then add that secondary Bitwarden account as your Primary's Emergency Access contact.

Then write the SECONDARY account's Email address, Email Password, and Bitwarden Password, on a piece of paper.

Set it for like X time then check your email for your primary account every X/2 days (if you set it as 14 days for recovery, check it at least once every 7 days) to make sure nobody got your piece of paper and tring to steal your passwords.

You can store it in a bank safe... or just in a drawer somewhere at home is fine too. Even if a roomate/family member gets it, you get a notification if they try to do emergency access...

This protects you from randomly getting retrograde amnesia...

And this is better than actually writing your PRIMARY account's log in details down, because it give you a 14 day buffer (or whatever days you set it to) before someone can actually make use of those credentials...

And afiak, you only need premium to add an emergency contact, you don't need premium for future years to keep it continue working.
