  • What are your BEST tech purchases?

  • Yea I know. I saw Project Hail Mary in an IMAX theater a month ago... so different...

    So immersive...

    Also so loud...

    My favorite thing was that quiet sequence and the light flashing sequence

    Where the astronaut guy (lol forgot the name already) was like about to die and Rocky went and saved him that sequence...

    So epic

    That was the first time I've been in a movie theater...

    Also is this guy British? Lol, do British people talk like that. Its so funny to see them trying to be as insulting as possible while looking "professional" doing it. xD

  • Noise-Cancelling Headphones...

    not to mention any specific ones, just the general concept of it...

    Everything sounds better, more immersive...

    Also blocks out family arguments to varying degress of success depending on how much you spend on headphones...

    Oh yea btw the first time I watched interstellar was on a cheap android phone with LCD 720p display using the phone speakers... 👀

    On the other side of it, Bluetooth Speakers

    Can sort of change the atmoshere of a room, feel slightly less "depressing"

  • Anyone just depresed af right now? How's life going?

  • $4500 in debt?

    Now I kind a feel guilty...

    Cant go in details, but basically: My parents owns the current house I live in, and they have small bussiness/investments and like has like a "small fortune¹" of assets... (¹not sure if I'm using that word right, I've been immersed in the English-language world since I was 8 but still feel like I don't know how some wording/phrasing work lol)

    Technically not mine stuff (not at the moment at least) but still... they're still financially supporting me cuz I'm just depressed af and have no independence and suvival skills.

    Sorry about your situation...

  • Would you actually have to go back to high school?

    Jump

  • I actually have a GED

    I got dragged into a fight where I defended myself and then I got arrested... (charges later dropped) so I just hated that school...

    So easy, didn't even need to study (no classes required, you just take a test, that simple), passed first time... it's 4 separate test categories, I went two separate times, each time taking two subjects (I mean I coumd probably just marathon through it all, but didn't wanna be overwhelmed). They don't really have actual test centers run by the GED thing, they just tell you to go to a place they approved (e.g: a local city-university campus) and they have a computerlab and they sign you in to the online test... and you have to put all your belongings in a locker outside (especially phones)

    So I passed them with "college ready" scores or whatever it even means...

    (My school also did like night school for adults if they have like partial credits and they can finish school that way)

    Since this was like Covid era, SAT requirements were dropped so Penn State accepted me with just the GED...

    But then Depression fucked up my life...

    AAAHHH fucking brain chemicals man, life sucks...

    Also I'm Asian... really broke the sterotype of academic success... I don't feel so Asian anymore :/

    Oh btw about the dreams... I actually dream about Elementary School more...

    Cuz my early memories of being this 8 year old Chinese kid new in America... I think I have a "younger me" trapped inside my mind that is still hiding in there, still feel scared of the world...

  • They're in China... (my family's country of origin)

    I don't have a passport yet... submitted application still waiting for the US State Department... 👀

    Also requires visa from PRC Embassy...

    I thought it was too much hassle to have to deal with VPN and firewall issues and I didn't bother...

    If I knew I'd feel this lonely, I might've tagged along

    That reminds me, haven't been on a plane since we arrived in the US in 2010... 16 years away from my birth country... 👀

    Also my brother seems to think I'm trying to harm him or something... mom asked me to help with finding the cheapest plane tickets, then there was some webpage loading issues, then he just said he would just do it on his computer instead...

    And then I was curious and asked which seats he picked... I mean I'm always curious about stuff

    He didn't respond...

    Like c'mon... it's not like I'm gonna put poison on a plane seat lmfao... wtf bro?

    So yeah...

  • They never trusted their company to make it through the month?

    Companies in China flop all the time, probably act this way because of their learned experience.

    Or they never trusted themselves to have anything left after the weekend?

    My parents were the type to always save.

    They claim that Americans (they mean Americans that are not of Asian descent) cant afford anything because they always spend they entire paycheck at some bar and just constantly depend on their next paycheck in order to have money.

    They own a house in Philly... and then they look at the renters and was like: "Hey son, you see all these people renting? It's because they're lazy and don't work and/or they waste money gambling or doing drugs, don't be like those people"

    And then once my depression became a thing... they say that "America turned me lazy"... bruh its called depression jesus christ mom, do you want me to kms ffs

  • Do you think every generation thinks their time growing up was the best?

    Jump

  • My parents (and their parents) certaintly think my generation is better than theirs.

    The summary is this: They lived in post WW2 Rural China, I get to live in the 21st century and also get to grow up mostly in the US... mom said her family money situation growing up was kinda shitty, in contrast she said in my childhood, I got to not worry about starving... they had rationing system...

    Parents were born in mid- 1960s to mid- 1970s

  • Nothing to described is unheard of in Canada/the States. I’m kind of waiting for the “SIKE I WAS DESCRIBING THE US ALL ALONG” but figured I’d comment in case it was useful to anyone.

    This isn't some trick question. I was born in Guangzhou, China. My knowledge of these employement stuff from my parents experiece in Taishan and Guangzhou (there as Taishan Hukou-holder migrant workers, so basically second class residents), as as for the US, its from Brooklyn-NY and Philly...

    Which might be kinda limited in scope...

    Its kinda interesting both US and China has these "grass greener on the other side" type of people...

    We as a species are so similar no matter where we come from

  • Is rural America different?

    My immediate family has only been to Brooklyn-NYC, and Philly

    So maybe my experiences are limited... 🤷‍♂️

    When your parents are on the phone, how often did you just start staying stuff for attention (or because you're bored)?

  • Damn y'all have even more fucked-up parents.

    Like every time I feel frustrated with my relationship with my parents, I go online and read the internet about shitty parents, and I always felt a relief that like at least my shitty parents are so much nicer variant of shitty
