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

  • Its a reflective on memories... since like this shit is so fucked... I mean we only get like... what... 50-100 years here and forever die?

    So yeah, idk why I asked this question...

    Honestly when you get an existential crisis... the idea of "cringe" and "shame" doesn't even fucking matter anymore...

    You cannot avoid death...

    Embarassing moments and stupid quesrions doesn't matter.

    Memories are already fading away, and nostalgia is just reliving moments in space time that can not truely be re-lived again...

    Sorry if I sound cringe af, but the male brain doesn't fully develop until 25, so I got like over a year before I could even scientifically considered "mature" or whatever that's supposed to mean...

    TLDR: Just remembering childhood moments... the adult world is cruel, wars, oppression, corruption, injustice... don't mind me, feel free to ignore this post.

  • Before I learned how to solve rubik's cubes, I just took them apart and re assembled them

    xD

    You could do that with electronics...

    Its $1000 lego 👀

  • Average people need their phone service to work...

    I tried using LineageOS on a motorola phone and I get zero data...

    So... Yeah.... I doubt the average person has time for troubleshooting this shit...

    Also those phones require specific devices, you cant just flash random linux into your current phone.

    Now look up "carrier whitelisting"

    so yeah... good luck trying to get a carrier to allow you to use an "unapproved" device on their network...

  • As for the privacy issue:

    The only counter to this is to move to a closed end-to-end encrypted groupchat so it can't be mass LLM analyzed...

    If you want a public forum, well... its public...

    You can't stop a script from just grabbing all the posts/comments... and its also federated, so the bot only needs to be able to access one instance and get it...

    I mean they could simply just set up their own instance and pretend its just a benigh single-user instance... like what are you gonna do, defed all small instances preemptively? Use "login walls" to make the forum private? And somehow trust all other admins that are federated and make them also enforce a "login wall" policy?

    Its a PUBLIC forum...

    the only solution for privacy is a groupchat and only let in people that can keep a promise to not screenshot everything and give it to a LLM.

  • What's your favorite gift you've ever received?

    Jump

  • I have this memory of getting a 3x3 Rubik's cube from mom for... I think either X-Mas or New Years... Not sure if "favorite" but definitely most memorable...

    I think this is the only time I didn't have to "beg" for stuff... usually I only get stuff if I really nagged my parents a lot... and my requests get denied frequently (cuz money issues being a new immigrant) but this time I kinda just mentioned "I want that magic cube thing that I had before, I wanna solve it now", I mentioned it like with the past two weeks, and she just went ahead and got one for me... (but its those cheap ones with the weird stickers that would eventually fall off... I kinda destroyed it cuz I'm bad at keeping stuff lol, like I broke or lost a lot of things I had) But hey, she didn't get it because I begged, she actually wanted me to be happy... like that felt more emotional, more like a real gift than just being a "bribe" to keep me quiet and stop being annoying.

    That was during my... I think early teen years, and before that I had a cube in my early childhood like at least few years before, can't remember much about those earlier cubes I had except as a memory of recalling another memory.

    I used to closer to her... I think I just got older and... um... life expectations (careers, sucess, expectation of being able to be independent and acquire wealth and win this game of capitalism)

  • Soon on TERF Island:

    They're gonna have AI cameras to detect if you "went to the right gender bathroom", and if AI decrees that you've entered the wrong one, they'll flag you as a "sex offender", then activate the terminators posted at the store to "eliminate sex offenders"

  • Do you know any songs about trains?

    Jump

  • G.E.M.【單行的軌道 One Way Road】

    No subtitles, but quick search for English Lyrics: Here

    Has the word "Train" in it. MV has train. This qualifies???

    I just randomly came across this song not too long ago xD

    (Not really about trains per se, but more of used as a metaphor)

  • Would it make sense to have a list of "Retired Questions"? - Questions asked so often and with no real change in answers that they're deleted on sight - if so, what questions would you pick?

  • Lemmy told me that I'd get kidnapped by ICE the moment a non-white person stepped outside...

    I went to a post office in a predominently white neighborhood to apply for a passport (earliest available appointment cuz cities are always filled), the guy working at the post office was a brown guy with an "Indian Accent" (which I did not expect to be working in a white neighbood btw).

    I'm ethnically Chinese and did not get harassed by anyone... Lemmy would have you believe there are lynch mobs and white-hooded KKK people trying to shoot you on sight, did not happen...

    Also none of my family had been harassed by ICE yet... I heard some relatives and friends of my parent's social circle cross the border just fine... my aunts be going on vacations and cruises... (my parents so jealous of their wealth and keep telling me "why can't you be like them" 😭)

    That being said, maybe me being Chinese and not Hispanic/Latino made the risks lower, not trying to invalidate the fears that other more vulnerable communities might face.

  • Not me but:

    Brooo omg my older brother SLEPT in the bathroom of a warehouse for TWO HOURS 🤣

    Like dude hid in a stall and just... wait how the fuck can you even sleep in the position?

    He never got caught lol

    My mom was like: "They're gonna catch you slacking and then drag you out jn front of everyone to humiliate you"

    Mom told me that back in China, they micromanage every employee and you could never get away with being "afk" for 2 hours lmfao...

    But is a big place in that warehouse so its hard to notice someone gone for 2 hours...

    Then they started doing bathroom signout sheets... like wtf... are we still in K-12 school??? (it's a unionized place too not sure whats going on now lol)
