02/17/25 - Twilight?
[We start today with a post from famous actor Chen Xiao, announcing a divorce with his wife, Chen Yanxi.] “I’m grateful we met each other. We’ll both be on our way now, and will continue supporting our children as their parents.”
Comments say, “You both stay well! Get a new beginning!”
“You have my support!”
“Thank you, Chen Yanxi. There may not be love anymore, but you can still keep your dignity. Please don’t keep exploiting this relationship on reality TV shows and imply your ex-husband can’t take care of himself. Save some goodwill for the public, it’s better for your children that way.”
[Followed immediately by an entertainment news company announcing the same news.]
Comments say, “They just publicised an open secret.”
“Holy shit. I guess a lot of entertainment news is true!”
“What? All I can think about is the wedding veil kiss.” [A famously romantic moment at their wedding that went viral on the internet at the time.]
#Harris accused of rambling at her Broadway speech. “On the 16th of February, Harris was exposed for rambling at actors and workers on Broadway. American netizens complain about Harris’ speech, “She looks drunk the entire time.”
On the 26th of November, 2024, Harris made a rare appearance after losing the elections to film a video for her supporters, and was accused of looking sleepy and tired and had her sobriety questioned.
On the 17th of December, 2024, Harris made her first long, public speech after losing the election and suddenly started laughing in the middle of her speech, and was mocked, “She’s drunk again.””
Comments say, “Is this not just Obama with long hair?”
“This is probably a side effect of her deliberately controlling her laughter. She’s went from one unhealthy mental state to another unhealthy mental state. She just can’t be normal.”
“Three news stories back to back:
Musk publicises social security system data, saying that America has 20 million seniors over 100 years old, with one individual over 360 years old.
America declares that Chinese garlic threatens American national security.
America is the world’s biggest manufacturer of blood products.
What is the conclusion you come to?
(This is just a joke, don’t take it too seriously)”
Comments say, “Twilight?”
“You actually believe what Musk says? You don’t even fact check first?”
“America has less than 5% of total world population but is the biggest exporter of blood in the world. Blood and blood products is the sixth largest export item in America in 2024, totalling 425 million USD, more than they made on exporting cars. 70% of blood in the global market comes from America. The only “superpower” on Earth is a blood-selling empire! What a visceral example of “blood-sucking capitalism”!”
A discussion of Montage Lies:
“The most famous example of a montage lie is, “I saw exactly how the crime happened but I didn’t see the culprit’s face.” And it turns out the speaker is the culprit.”
“”What are you doing?” “Eating lunch.” “Why didn’t you tell me you were eating lunch with another woman?” “You never asked. And I didn’t do anything other than eat lunch anyways.” Sound familiar, people?”
“The lie: She got together with someone else, I beat her, we got divorced. The truth: I bet her, we got a divorce, she got together with someone else.”
“A lot of people don’t understand the logic behind white lies and get manipulated by other people. Let me tell my own story here. I once dated a guy who was super clingy. I was getting an IV drip at home, and he skipped work to hang out with me. We haven’t hung out much at that point, and I’ve been single for many years, so I really wasn’t used to having an extra person around me, especially when he’s crossing so many boundaries. My mom didn’t get it either so she asked him if he had work that day, and he immediately made up some bullshit about how his work starts late. After my mom left, I asked him why he lied, and he said it was a white lie that didn’t matter anyways. And I split up with him that day. A lot of people might think this is no big deal, that I’m freaking out about nothing. All I gotta say is, you don’t know human nature. You can’t see through to who someone is based on their actions. The only person his answer benefited was him. It let him leave a good impression in my mom’s heart, so that he can get together with me. I’m not the one benefiting from that lie, so it’s not a white lie. These types of people instinctively put themselves first, and they’ll even lie to protect themselves. The lie might end up hurting other people, but does he care? People who lie have bad morals, 100%, so don’t date these people. They’re probably super selfish.”
“If you find yourself led along by other people’s logic and can’t get out, just look at who’s the benefactor. It’s super simple.”
“A lot of people don’t understand what montage lies are. Let me make an example. If I said, “My crush got married.” It doesn’t sound like much, right? You might even feel bad for me. But what if the truth was that I only ever crush on married people?”
“Yeah, you just changed the order that events happened in, and the meaning becomes completely different.”
“Yeah, it’s changing cause and effect.”
“While you’re dating, he’ll say he’s doing things with you, doing things to help you. And once you’re married, he’ll keep saying, “help watch the kid”, “help with housework”.”
“Now I know why it’s so hard for people to ask me out. Whenever I hear phrasing like “take you”, “with you”, “get you something or other”, my first reaction is, “I know how to get there myself, and I don’t need someone I barely know to accompany me. And I can afford it myself so I don’t need you to take me out.” Whenever my friends ask me out, they always say, “Let’s get X for dinner” or “Do you want to go to Y?” Or, “I feel like Z, do you?” But a lot of people just can’t learn how to communicate straightforwardly like that.”
“Right? I’ve met a lot of people who talk this way too. My best friend is always just like, “Let’s go eat whatever.” Like we’re peers.”
“My dad told everyone that my mom was super neurotic and paranoid, he cheated, he treated her badly, and they got divorced. But in reality, my dad cheated and he treated my mom badly, so she became neurotic and paranoid, and they got a divorce. But he only started telling this story when my mom started getting paranoid, and my dad was gaslighting her and making her crazy to dress himself up as the victim, so everyone believed my dad’s story. I was the only one who was terrified as a child.”
“I think I naturally have this ability…whenever I play murder mysteries or mafia, I’m really good at telling bald-faced lies. Sometimes, I can even make myself get goosebumps to trick other people. When I took part-time jobs in high school and college, I always made the most sales, because whenever I was trying to sell something, I’d brainwash myself, “This product is great! I want to buy it myself!” So I come off as super sincere when I talk to customers and people actually thank me for my recommendations.”
“I always thought the highest form of a con was when the conman convinces himself.”
“Montage lies is all about turning your position from “someone in the story” to “an outside observer.”
“I knew how to do this as a kid and slowly lost it after I got into a keypoint high school. Now that I’m done with college, all I’m left with is pure foolishness.”
“My parents are all masters of montage lies, so all my boyfriends are this type of person too. I only realised today. But why can’t I lie? I get so red every time I lie.”
“The lowest common denominator. Fundamentally speaking, men just feel like they can trick and fool their moms or female relatives or anyone who doesn’t matter without any consequences.”
“My ex-boyfriend is a master. His line of, “I just hid it from you, I wasn’t trying to lie to you,” fooled me for years.”
“Men lie all the time, and a lot of times, they’ll even accuse you of having low EQ because you don’t know how to lie. They don’t even think about what they’re saying. And they think they can avoid a lot of hassle with small lies here and there.”
“What’s worst is, if you ever point this out to him, it’s like he lost all his memories and he’ll insist on editing yours too. He has to be right. Even if you put the truth in front of him, he’ll still pretend to not remember, and it’ll look super convincing.”
“Ohhh, so these are called montage lies. I didn’t know how to call them. I’ve been married for 4 years, and no matter what my husband says to me, my immediate reaction is that he’s lying, because I’ve found him out several times, but every time I point out his lies, he has his own set of logic to argue back to me.”
“Another example, a guy goes out to a party and comes home and tells his wife, “You have no idea how crazy this party was! Some guy kissed a girl right in front of everybody!” And he was that guy.”
“Only 10 nautical miles apart! The Captains of the American, French, and Japanese ships were dumbfounded! They were performing exercises when the 815A ship swaggered in. The other three parties did their best to stop it, but all their attempts failed.
Wasn’t there a joke floating around the internet, about America organising a lot of other countries to do military exercises together behind China’s back, and asked through the walkie-talkie, “Everyone ready?” All the countries said yes, but Japan replied, “Just lost signal, repeat please.” And China’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, answering for Japan, “He’s ready.”
This is just a joke, but art comes from life! This line proves to be gold to this day! Lately, America’s Indo-Pacific command centre published information that America, France, and Japan is going to do a joint military exercise called the “Pacifictler 2025“ [Not sure if intentional typo or not, but he typed Pacific Stellar with the S missing, and in Chinese, the result looks like a combination of Pacific+Hitler], with China as the imaginary enemy.
Before they’ve decided on their tactics yet, just under 10 nautical miles away, an electronic reconnaissance ship, 815A, quietly appeared and observed everything.
You can imagine how the America, French, and Japanese’s hairs stood on end when they discovered this, because they’d installed all their most advanced scanning equipment and reconnaissance machines. They could’ve caught a fly.
But not only was the Chinese ship straight up invisible, dodging all the scans, but it appeared as close as 10 nautical miles away. This proves that their tactics and training has lost all practical combat value.”
Comments say, “America be like, “Copy?” And their imaginary enemy be like, “Copy.””
“Scared the shit out of all of them, basically?”
“Congratulations, soon, you and your children will all have to go to the battlefield.”
lol at the idea that we have a living 360 year old american hiding among us
