Also curious. All I know is that sharing via bluetooth seemed to be strangely absent from IPhones last time I checked. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I swear we couldn't find it. Ended up sharing photos over the PC with a USB cable like in the old days. Interacting with apple users and their walled garden is always an experience...

I very much hate christmas. Having a specific day to give everyone something is stupid. We already have everything we want (that's not too expensive to be a gift), and even if there's something special, christmas ruins it by being expected. In my family we finally managed to drop the charade after grandma died. Sadly, gonna be celebrating christmas with my GF's family, and so far I've been unsuccessful in making them understand that I don't want shit from them.

Christmas is just a giant collection of obligations that leaves us all worse off. Like getting and advent calendar, everyone gets mad when I skip days, just because I don't care about Christmas. In my country we also have 3 days where all stores are closed for it. Great shit...

Oh awesome, can't wait to explain how I got a porn site email.

The US has no extradition treaty with China (or similar). So that would likely fall under spying and the "coercing a New Jersey man wanted by Beijing into returning to China" part is very much a major step over the line.

Edit: Also jeez people, he's just asking relatively reasonable questions form ignorance, stop tearing him a new one! Being wrong shouldn't immediately be cause for such backslash.

That's the kinda logic used to defend the upper class. "What did he really do?" Hyper focusing on specifics, rather than the actual act.

Acting as a foreign agent, directly operating under the orders of a foreign government under the jurisdiction of a sovereign country is a bit of a no go. No matter if it's China or not. We here in Europe have similar events with American spies every dozen years (and Russian and Chinese too ofc).

The stuff you mention about handing out valid Chinese IDs is mostly irrelevant flavor text. It's iffy maily because it was an unofficial station in the eyes of the US. Official embassies fulfill such roles too without issue.

This is always a clash when I end up talking to my parents. My home country is slowly falling apart economically and they're completely fucking blind to it. Especially ironic cus one of em is a fucking portfolio manager.

Like when I even mention that affording anything it getting worse and worse each year, while the rich consistently break income records, they derail the discussion by saying like "but don't you have it great tho" (I earn well above average and still feel the pressure, THAT'S THE POINT) or mention that some rich assholes renovated some random castle and that without him it would juts be a ruin and that's sad or some shit.

And we aren't even getting that political yet. Just saying "hey mom, my future be looking unsustainable".

Fuck this is ironic. First they push for everything to be easily hackable and now they're panicking when a foreign agent starts hacking in. Fucking bravo dipshits!

Too many adds are the one to guarantee I'll leave and never come back. Adds are fucking hostile and only serve to bleed society dry.

Omfg, it finally dawned on me. The reason the stocks when up when Trump got elected. These fucking ghouls really see any excuse to increase prices as a win. Jesus fucking christ... There's no stop until enough people will literally drop dead.

How's this news? That's literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called "Temporary Hardships". They promised and they're going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.

Not voting. If we combine harris and non voters we get a similar number to the poll. Of course that's a major simplification, but it still has something.
