02/23/24 - Her child deserves to shoulder everything she did.
A blogger posts screenshots of someone else’s texts, reading, “Just had culture class yesterday about English afternoon tea. The dessert rack has three layers, and every layer has something different on it, and the teacher asked us to guess what order we’re supposed to eat these.
Everyone was thinking hard, and I was like, “Don’t I just start with whatever I want to eat?”
And the teacher was like, “Only one person in the world can do that, and it’s the Queen.””
And the blogger says, “The difference between us and Britain is that here, every women thinks she’s a queen.”
Comments say, “It’s not like men here know what order to eat things in either. Stop PUA-ing women.”
“A question for British dinner etiquette, when you’re eating stargazy pie, which fish do you start with?”
“But isn’t she dead?”
A tiktok video showing a traditional carved wooden bed. OP says, “Cleaning this thing is gonna make you doubt your life.”
Comments say, “If you could afford this, you wouldn’t have to clean your own bed.”
“It’s like thinking that someone who drives a Maybach is worried about gas prices going up.”
“Just the carved pattern screams how expensive this thing must be.”
“Big gossip in western circles, to the point that it’s kinda scary. Famous reporter Dom Lucre published a post that’s blowing up on the western internet right now. In the photo, you can see Leonardo DiCaprio holding a jar with a baby marinading inside it.
Right now, this post has gotten 17 million views.”
Comments say, “This was obviously back when he was young, right? Back in the day, it was easy to find preserved deformed foetuses. I’ve seen plenty myself too, I don’t remember where. What do you mean “marinading”? Who the hell translated this? Of course, I’d never take a selfie with it.”
“It’s just a preserved specimen. It was pretty common back in the day. Might just be a prop too.”
“It’s not the first time we’ve found out about his hypocrisy. He’s campaigning against Chinese pollution everyday on Instagram, but he sure has nothing to say when it comes to the West.”
A tiktok video of an Only Fans uploader in Los Angeles talking about his financial situation, about how he works hard to make money, and earns 85K before taxes every month, but 35% of it gets taxed. Aside from his rent in Los Angeles and his mortgage in Michigan (2250 USD each), he’s very frugal with his spending, so he can save up a ton of money every month. But in the first 21 days of this month, he’s already out 20K, because he got scammed on a second hand car, and got tricked out of 9500 USD. He works as a “model”, so he has to drive to the east coast a lot, and travel expenses adds up too. Even a motel costs 1200 USD if you stay there for 7 days, and renting a car isn’t cheap either. That’s why he wanted a second hand car. So, Only Fans really make a ton of money, huh?
Comments say, “The guy I’m following on Only Fans has already made enough money to buy a McLaren.”
“So do you have a link to his Only Fans?”
“But 35% taxes is fucking terrifying.”
The suspect involved in the Qinghua Thallium poisoning case, Sun Weixin, has had her daughter dismissed from school in Australia due to persistent protests. She also just sold her house for 1.06 million AUD on the 2nd of this month, after purchasing it for 630K back in 2019.
This blogger makes a compilation of people’s takes:
“Newest news: Sun Weixin’s daughter hasn’t shown back up at school with the new semester. Is she getting homeschooled by her mom, who only got 531 points in her college entrance exam?”
“Wow, I’m super empathetic. I don’t understand why she’s still not coming out and saying anything even though all of this shit is happening to her daughter. Can’t you face your problems? With how persistent internet commenters are these days, they’ll never stop hounding you. Are you just going to drift a round the globe for the rest of your life? If there’s nothing wrong with your brain, come back and prove your innocence. You’ve got my support, 10000%!”
“There’s a lot of mysteries going on here. In the photos taken in Japan, her kiddo looks to be about 5-6 years old, a chubby little girl. There’s no way she’s 10-years-old with that height and those proportions. She’s kind of a midget by genes, but even so, you shouldn’t be that short at 10. So she’s probably 6 years old. But this isn’t about her getting dismissed at school. What primary school in Australia is gonna take her kid? Would the other students be able to safely eat and drink at school? Of course all the other kids’ parents are gonna protest.”
“Just checked out Port Stephens, the last location Sun took a selfie. She’s good at picking out spots. It’s on high ground, backed by ocean, facing a forest, very private. It fits with a suspect’s need to stay down low. The net of justice never misses anybody though.”
Comments say, “Poisoners should be hated on by the whole world. I dunno if she got too excited or too upset that day, but she poisoned an innocent person. After that, she had no rights to have children. And if she did, then her child deserves to shoulder everything she did. Think about Zhu Ling [the victim]’s tragic life, and her parent’s despair and anger and how they’re supposed to make it through the rest of their life! Anything could happen to Sun’s family and I wouldn’t care!”
“She has no moral bottom line! If she can poison her dorm mate, why wouldn’t she do it to her neighbours too?”
“It’s not just for justice that people are protesting—it’s in their own interests too. After all, you’ve got a chemistry major from a top university who’s got a proven record of being good at poisonings living near you. You could become a victim at any time.”
A tiktok video of a fireman doing building-clearing training. OP says, “Every movement he makes is a lesson we learned through experience:”
Comments say, “With high heat and low oxygen in the room, there might be an explosion as soon as you open the door.”
“Just from these movements, you can imagine what hell they must work in.”
“Why does he knock along the wall?” [The reply below is, when smoke gets too thick, there’s no visibility. He’s knocking along the wall to find the doors.]
“Going home for the new year, I’m shocked by small town spending. Like, nobody’s trying to save money. No wonder every time I try to share money-saving tips with my mom, she just tells me to not be so stingy.
All the young people are wearing expensive clothes, especially shoes. They’re easily four-figures, and they get new ones every year.
Everyone just buys boba tea whenever they want.
My relatives just bought a million RMB house on a whim, paid off in full.
4J-grade cherries are going for well over 400 RMB, and people are still buying it.
My nephew loves Starbucks, and he buys everything at full price.
People only look at 200K+ cars. They think cars under 200K can’t any good. Nobody considers second hand cars.
My mom won’t let me buy snacks that are about to go bad.
It was kind of a hassle to wash my hair at home, so I asked about it at the local hairdressers, and they charge 30 RMB. I felt like it was kinda expensive, and my relative was like, “That’s pretty cheap though.” And I was like, “???” Ended up washing my own hair. Saved 60 RMB between my husband and I.
Cucumbers are like 8-9 RMB a pound?
Had a bunch of boxes and packaging left over after the New Years, so I was gonna save it up to use as organisation as home, and my mom asked why I don’t throw trash away.
Lol. I guess I get why all my relatives think I live stingy as fuck in Shanghai.”
Comments say, “Me and my husband too. We got a house and a car and no debt, and both of our parents live in the same city. We go to work during the day, and go eat dinner with one of our family at night. We’ve got three cats and a dog too, and just spend the evening petting our cats and walking our dog. My life right now is literally what I used to dream about. My work isn’t very stable though, so I need to work on that so I can take care of my cats and dogs.”
“I’m in a small town, working at the hospital, make 5K a month, work 2 days and get 2 days off. I just go out with my friends every day, wear pretty clothes, and get whatever I want. It’s a very peaceful life that has moments of absolute bliss. I’m only 24.”
“I’m 23, just graduated, and got a government job. My work is 7 minutes’ walk from my place, and all my coworkers are nice people. My mom makes lunch for me at home, and if I work too late, then my dad will pick me up. I get weekends off, and I’ll go over to my grandparents and talk with them, or eat out with my friend, or watch my favourite shows. I spent the entirety of last year in stress and anxiety, and never dreamed I could live like this. I’m really grateful I never gave up. I tell myself all the time, “You’re great. You deserve all of this.””
“I know this feel! I’m 24, and got a government job 200 metres away from my house as soon as I graduated. Get weekends off, and my parents run a small business in town, and I can show up to help any time they need it. I’m in the same city as my best friend, and in the same office as my boyfriend. I never thought a normal state college grad like me can live like this T_T.”
“Came home for the Chinese New Year and everyone’s eating together. My older relative asks all the young people around the table where they’re working. I said that I work in building algorithms in Tencent, and everyone was silent. Then, my cousin next to me was like, “I work at the local tax office.” And everyone smiled and made a thumbs up at him, like, “Good job! Good job!””
A set of statistics has gone viral on weibo, of food poisoning rates in various provinces. Surprisingly, Yunnan, known for eating wild mushrooms, only comes in second, and Shandong takes first place. Various people have come forward to explain that this is because Shandong people will eat food that’s gone bad. “Continuing yesterday’s Shandong topic, a lot of the comments I saw from Shandong people really made me anxious.
Honestly. Forgive me for not understanding why people would eat mouldy, rotten food. Even if the reason is, “they’ve experienced starvation before”, isn’t that true for most of China? Why doesn’t anywhere else put rotten food on the table? If starvation has caused you to particularly treasure food, then shouldn’t you finish your food before it goes bad? Why would you buy more food than you can eat, hoard it, let it go bad, and then try to eat it?
I feel like the root of eating rotten food isn’t “frugality”, but “performance.” On the one hand, a lot of parents love to put on a performance of eating rotten food, to show their family how frugal they are and how much they suffer, to show off their morality and how hard they have it. And on the other hand, a lot of older people have this mindset of, “I have to show how I’m getting the short end of the stick and give the good stuff to everyone else, to stabilise my status and position in the family.” And on the third hand, forcing family to eat rotten food with you is a display of power, and a lot of parents use this to satisfy their twisted need for control.
Like, “I birthed you, I raised you, so I have every right to demand you go die for me.” “I’m eating rotten food because I’m a morally upstanding person, and forcing you to eat rotten food with me is how I test your loyalty every day.” It’s a type of family bullying that’s almost like training a dog.
As for the solution, I think you just have to move out, or take over cooking duties.”
Attached is a photo of very mouldy bread:
Comments say, “Maybe we stayed poor for a longer time.”
“I get why Yunnan people are obsessed with wild mushrooms. I don’t get eating rotten food.”
“A lot of older people have a sort of subconscious anxiety. Back in the day, when you had everyone eating out of the communal kitchen in one big pot, they’d subconsciously make extra food, so it can be hoarded, to make up for their anxiety of not having enough food. But there’s not enough people in their family to finish it all, and they can’t stand throwing it away, and then they get food poisoning from eating it, and it’s just a downward spiral.”
