02/04/24 - Based on her clothing and her doll and stuff, I don’t feel like she even wants to be a boy??
“When I’m getting an air B&B overseas, I never look at Chinese landlords, because red flags come up so often. Same thing with bed and breakfasts in Korea.
The last bed and breakfast I was at, the landlord went back to China for the New Years, so I had to do everything myself. When we arrived, there was blood on her sheets and they were never switched out. The bathroom sink was clogged and a big puddle of dirty water was still in the sink. There was hair everywhere, and the kitchen was a disaster.
I couldn’t stand it and called the landlord, and had him mansplain to me that everyone is responsible for the upkeep of a bed and breakfast! He wanted us to fix everything! We had to find a students in the countryside working part time in the middle of the night to clean everything up, even though she just changed out the bedsheets and mopped the floor.
I almost never fight with anyone, but I really couldn’t help calling him out in the groupchat. I dropped out of the group later so I’ve got no screenshots to show you. Man, what an asshole. His place was a good deal more expensive than everywhere else too! And from beginning to end, he was just like, “You’ve got to clean up after yourself! I didn’t do anything wrong! You should be grateful I even let you stay! This is a bed and breakfast, not a hotel!”
His girlfriend was pretty sweet, though, so I’m not gonna dox him. I guess.”
Comments say, “When you’re overseas, Chinese people love to con fellow Chinese people.”
“So what’s this bed and breakfast called?”
A tiktok video showing a buffet set up in a family with many kids:
Comments say, “It’s so fake. How many kids did they borrow from family and friends to make this video?”
“If they only had one, then they could’ve grown up having all the fruit they wanted.”
“By the time it’s the mom’s turn, there’s no more sausages or strawberries left.”
“I saw a girl complaining about being pressured into marriage, so she had a fake marriage with a gay guy she found. At this point, most normal people reading this story would feel goosebumps stand on their skin, but this girl went into the details and it’s funny as hell.
She grit her teeth and bought a house, and put on a ceremony but never got a license and never got financially involved with the guy she fake married. She took the gift money from the ceremony to renovate her house, and is living comfortably in it now. The gay guy basically just showed up to perform for events, and he lives on his own in his own place. And the girl was like, “If these people want me to marry so badly, then serves them right to pay me for it too.”
And I was like, “……”
It’s the same problem, but look at how some people go about solving it! A lot of girls really have no idea how to dodge trouble even if they want to, and just throw themselves into trap after trap, turning a small problem into a big hassle. Look at this girl! Look at her!”
Comments say, “If you just want to save yourself from a hassle, never use this method. Don’t even think about it. If you can’t even take people pressuring you into marriage, then you’ll never have peace. You’re just not that badass. This girl dares to do this and not fear what people will say because she just wants to make some money from the ceremony. She’s looking for profit, ot peace. If you just want peace, then with that amount of bravery and agency, don’t blindly follow other people. Just enjoy the story like a power fantasy.”
“Making your money back on wedding gifts is a pretty interesting idea.”
“That assumes both parties are polite, normal people. If there was one stingy bastard involved, you’d be dealing with a huge mess.”
Under the hashtag #over 40% of men cannot get married in 119 villages studied, a blogger writes, “You mean, this professor did a bunch of research and discovered that men and women of marriageable age in rural areas have a gender balance of a shocking 140:100?
This statistic is very close to the newborn gender balance in Jiangxi Province, which is infamous for its sky high bride prices.
And hey, didn’t Gan province come up with the innovative idea of a “bride price blacklist leaderboards? I can predict this leaderboard is gonna get greatly expanded in the future. I’m looking forward to it~”
Comments say, “It’s fine, men don’t want to get married anyways.”
“They can always marry down to even younger girls. Weren’t there a lot of discussion about looking for wives in kindergartens?”
A gif of a cosplayer beating up a little kid. I’m not sure if youtube will let me post it or not, but the little kid (roughly 8-10 years old?) repeatedly launches himself at her, trying to hit her, while she grabs him around the middle and flings him to the ground.
A blogger clarifies: “TL;DR little kid steals people’s food, stole someone’s hair spray, started spraying people down with it, even spraying one cosplayer right in the face, and got hair spray in her eyes and mouth. He’s sat on cosplayer’s faces, pulled people’s pants down, ruined all kinds of expensive props and costumes. Everyone was trying to nicely tell him what he was doing is wrong and trying to get his parents to take him away, but he only got worse. Finally, a Cosplayer of Justice stood up and fought with him and got several scratches on her hands. Everyone was yelling at her that she can’t hit little kids too. Someone ended up calling the cops and both of them went to the police station. No idea what happened after that.”
Comments say, “I’ve pinched a brat til he cried before. If his parents won’t educate him, then I will.”
“Why is she so gentle with him. Did she not have enough to eat for lunch?”
“Remembered that time my girl friend asked a brat super gently, “Hey, little buddy, where are your parents?” And the second he said, “Upstairs?” She slapped him in the face.”
A tiktok video of a handmade tye-dyed shirt:
Comments say, “But it’s so ugly…”
“This pattern makes my eyes dizzy.”
“Oh no, my trypophobia!”
“Just came upon a post of a girl who said her mom won a prize of a vacation overseas. It’s the top prize, but it’s only for one person, and her mom has never been on a vacation by herself before. She was asking whether there was a cheap way for her family of five to follow along (I’m guessing her mom, her dad, her, her husband, and her kid). And a lot of people were advising her to just sell the vacation to someone else instead.
But someone pointed out, “Why don’t you just go along with your mom by yourself? That way, you only have to pay for one extra person. You can even share a hotel room.”
Yeah, why not? They might both have their families and kids, but why does it not occur to anyone that they could go on a vacation by themselves?”
Comments say, “Because neither of them want to abandon their families to go enjoy a vacation. They’ve got too much to worry about. It’s the punishment for mothers.”
“My mom was like this too. Every time her workplace would organise trips, she never went. She said she wouldn’t go unless she could bring her family. She’d give up her early checkups and trips to rehab facilities too. She’s just worried my dad would be upset at home. A lot of men need their wife around, I guess. I just don’t get it. He’s a grown ass man. Surely, he can survive for a couple of days?”
“I want to know why too! Once my best friend got married and had kids, every time we eat out, she has to bring her husband and kid along! Why? Who can give me an answer? Can’t they bear being separated for a single meal?”
“There’s all kinds of shit going on in photography circles, especially for wedding photos. There’s always a dozen or so “detail photos” of meaningless bullshit, and it’d be find if it was just ugly as fuck, but there were even two closeups of my feet? I don’t get it.”
Comments say, “As an amateur, every time I find a photographer has feet photos in their portfolio, I scroll away right away. It’s gross.”
“I think it’s fine to get feet photos, but if you’re going to take them, why not photograph both people’s feet? Why do they only ever photograph women’s feet?”
“A lot of wedding photographers are basically just going through a rote routine. Like, a lot of them insist on “morning gown photos” too, where they have a bride wear some skimpy nightgown and make all kinds of weird uncomfortable poses. I just…don’t get it. It’s supposed to be a happy day. Why don’t these photographers direct the brides to make more appropriate poses? I’m really suspecting that a lot of them have weird fetishes or something.”
A tiktok video where the blogger reposting it describes it as, “An 11-year-old underage girl is hesitating about whether she wants to transition or not, but the doctor told her that, “This is the best time for transgender therapy and injecting testosterone. You shouldn’t wait until you’re 16.”
This poor 11-year-old girl had no idea what “transitioning” would do to her life. In the end, she was held down on the table and forcibly injected with drugs that would stop her feminine developments…”
Comments say, “This doctor and these parents look like demons!”
“Why are they changing her gender? Are they trying to turn her into a boy?”
“Based on her clothing and her doll and stuff, I don’t feel like she even wants to be a boy??”
A blogger reposts a news article from Japan, where suspiciously square-shaped garbage was found in the ocean floor. Japan sent people to investigate, and discovered it was actually bundled of printed out promotional flyers. After a lot of work, they managed to haul up all the flyers, which totaled 117 bundles, each with 1000 flyers. That is more than 900 kilograms of flyers.
The police opened an investigation, and found a 74-year-old grandpa was responsible. He was working part time to support himself, handing out flying from February 2021 to October 2023. But he never actually handed these out, but instead threw them into the ocean. This is because you can’t throw rubbish anywhere you want in Japan, and it’s very difficult to dispose of this many flyers without being found out. He couldn’t take them to a recycling centre, in case they decided to report him to his employer, and he couldn’t very well burn them either. So he decided to toss them into the sea.
He’s been arrested for violating “trash disposal laws”, and the police are still investigating whether there are more flyers in the sea.
There’s a compilation of Japanese comments on this news story at the bottom, “But throwing flyers into the sea will pollute the oceans.”
“900 kilograms of flyers. You could get quite a lot of money for that at a recycling centre.”
“He should pay for what it cost to haul them up again.”
“He needs to pay his company back too.”
“Why is it illegal to throw flyers into the sea, but not illegal to throw flyers at people’s houses?”
“He’s just trying to promote these businesses to the fishes.”
“Why is he still working at 74??”
Commenters on weibo say, “Are Japanese people really worried about flyers of all things polluting the oceans.”
“Throwing flyers into the sea will pollute the oceans, but throwing waste water into the sea won’t, huh?”
“I dunno if it’s just stereotyping, but “polite but dishonourable” is such an accurate description of Japanese people.”
ewird -> weird
police -> polite
Uh, so have all the commenters just completely misunderstood that transitioner clip? Did anyone spot that this is a child who was born a boy, working on her transition to become a girl?
