07/04/24 - How can anyone stand having the AC on 24/7?
”Which of the following is the hardest to accomplish, in your opinion?
You make 100K a month, your husband makes 3K a month, and you are super lovey-dovey with each other.
You do 100% of childrearing and house work, and your husband lounges around on the couch, and you live peaceful and happy lives.
You look like Liu Yifei or Dilraba, and your husband looks like Wang Baoqiang or Wang Dazhi, and your sex life is frequent and satisfying.
Remember to pick the hardest to accomplish!”
Comments say, “2 is the hardest, because if it was 1 or 3, I’d just dump him immediately.”
“It’s obviously 3. If you’re as hot as Dilraba, what kind of man can’t you get? Why do you have to settle for a kappa?”
“You get nothing in the second case. In one, you’ve got love, and in three, you’ve got sex.”
“To all the people going on and on about how you need to abort XYY babies, do you feel the same way about XXY babies? After all, according to your logic, this is a super female. But XXY and XYY often have very similar developmental challenges. They both suffer from delayed neurological development. Their symptoms are all very commonly found in other developmentally delayed patients with no chromosomal disorders, like lack of athletic ability, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, trouble with emotional management, impulsiveness, none of this is exclusive to XYY or XXY people. When it comes to XYY people having a higher crime rate than normal, that’s just as true for XXY people. And as for the reason, it’s not quite so simple as people make it sound. All of their developmental challenges means that they’re much more vulnerable to trauma in developmental years, they get less opportunities from society, and it’ll affect the economic state of them and their family. And all of these factors contribute to crime rate.
People with ADHD also have a higher crime rate than neurotypical people. If we could detect ADHD with pregnancy checkups, would people call for ADHD babies to be aborted? Maybe they’ll use the excuse that they’re saving society from being harmed by these babies too. Because ADHD is very hereditary, maybe people will call for people to not date people with ADHD or have kids with them.
I’ve seen people with Kleinfelter Syndrome ask doctors whether there’s something wrong with them, why they can’t think like normal people, even doubting whether they’re garbage or a psychopath. Although the doctor couldn’t diagnose them across the internet, but Kleinfelter Syndrome can cause patients to perceive the world in a different way. And autism is much higher among Kleinfelter patients. Even if they don’t have it outright, they’re more likely to be on the spectrum. You can’t use mainstream psychology to determine if Kleinfelter’s patients have a personality disorder, whether they’ve got a mental detect, but it’s so hard to be understood by other people for them. Sigh.”
Comments say, “Look, I’m not trying to argue, but isn’t the purpose of check ups to find out whether the baby is abnormal? If you’ve got an abnormal foetus, but you still have to birth it anyways, then what’s even the point of the check ups?”
“Why can’t we just birth normal people? Do you really have to bring trouble to the world?”
“I honestly feel like the genes are a lot less problematic than the discrimination they face from the world.”
“On the 2nd of July, a high school student, Wang, called the police claiming that her college applications were tampered with. After the police traced the IP, they found that it was done by her classmate. On the afternoon of the 3rd, the culprit Xiang turned himself in at the police station. After questioning, it was discovered that Xiang had a bad relationship with Wang, and managed to get a photo of her exam license. After trying many passwords, he was able to log onto her application website and change where she had applied to. He has been sentenced to 5 days of jail, and the state is allowing Wang to resubmit her applications.”
Comments say, “He’s bad to the bone!”
“Thank god they let her reapply.”
“We need to put this kind of people on a list, to make sure nowhere hires them.”
“In truly powerful families, the females are only responsible for giving birth to kids, taking care of the household, and spending money and eating food and having fun. They look like complete loafs, and never ask about anything the men of the family are involved in. (The enemies of this kind of family would never do anything against the women anyways). All the men are all hyper capable, team players, and very loyal to their families.
Jews are like this. They never play with phones or video games. They marry super young, and once they’re done marrying, they focus on making money and prospering their family. They never get mistresses or act like pervs, because being loyal to your wife is a long tradition.”
Comments say, “The average Chinese man wants their wife to make money, sleep with them, have kids, raise kids, and take care of his parents.”
“Look at the Ho family in Macau.” (famous billionaire family filled with drama)
“I mean, that’s how every family is like in China’s countryside though. Men make money, it doesn’t matter if women make money or not, and once they’re done having kids, the MIL helps take care of the kid.”
“I went to my chiropractor, and met an insane local old man, who told me my Cantonese sounds weird, and I dress too nicely. I’m clearly not from here.
I was like, “But I was born in Guangzhou.”
Old Man: “You don’t count as being “from Guangzhou” just because you were born here.”
Me: “??? Really? What counts then?”
Old Man: “You’re from Tianhe District, not Laocheng Distrist (literally old city district).”
Me: “I grew up in Laocheng Distrist! I only moved to Tianhe District for work! My grandparents both live in Laocheng!”
Him: “What about your mom, then? Was your mom born in Guangzhou?”
Me: “…Well, no.”
Him: “See! That’s why you’re not really Cantonese!”
ETA: ??? I’ve gotten a lot of comments who says that you only count as Cantonese if your family has land and housing and dividends in Guangzhou going back at least 3 generations. I have no idea what to say. Let’s leave aside whether this standard is even correct or not, my family totally does have land and housing and dividends in Guangzhou for at least three generations???
Comments say, “The standards are so strict these days. My parents are from Sichuan. I was born and raised in Beijing, but I don’t count as being from Beijing. Okay, that’s fine. But according to Chinese Instagram’s standards, if I have kids, and the father isn’t from Beijing, then my kid doesn’t count as being from Beijing.”
“Do you get money if you’re from Guangzhou? Do you get to live an extra hundred years?”
“He sounds like a pureblood wizard.”
Lately, in Gansu, a lady demanded 288K in bride price from her boyfriend, and he wrote a letter to the Governor, demanding that he punish these outrageous demands. A blogger writes, “Gansu bride price has skyrocketed this much? I’ve been reading all kinds of takes from big bloggers under this hashtag, and they’re all making fun of the guy, and I’m just confused.
If bride price an objectification of women? Or is it insurance for a marriage? Why does China want to catch up to the west when it comes to feminism, but it insists on holding onto and worsening Bride Price, which only we have? Why do men have to take on all the cost of marriage, and women just care about maximising their profits?”
Comments say, “The poorer and less educated you are, the more you like to turn marrying off a daughter into selling a daughter.”
“Her price is 288K. If you don’t agree with the price, then just walk away.”
“They want western freedom, and eastern traditions. Freedom is the freedom to do whatever they want. Traditions is the tradition of being a parasite on their parents and their husband. And in the end, they become a monster born of the worst of both sides.”

“My boyfriend’s phone ran out of power, and he was too shy to borrow money to get home, so he had to walk 20km home. We fought about this for two days and he blocked me on everything. Now he wants me to forgive him. Should I? I just felt like if a grown-ass man can’t even handle something as simple as this, and actually walked for 20 km in the middle of summer just because his phone is out of power, then he’s too stupid to put up with. But he felt like I was nagging him, and blocked me on everything.
People saying down in the comments that he’s just coming up with an excuse, it’s really not. I know because this is the second time this has happened. The first time, he passed out in the middle of the road from heat stroke, and I had to go fetch him.
Just to clarify the reason we argued: the temperature here is like 30C on average, and he went out of contact for some reason. His phone had shut off due to lack of power, apparently, and he had to walk 7 hours home. It was late into the night when he got home. I argued with him because first, I was super worried about him, and second, because I was disappointed that he couldn’t figure out such a small problem like this.”
Comments say, “Yeah, you’re not suitable for each other. This guy hasn’t been socialised enough, at least not for Chinese society. He’s going to put a lot more stress on you in the future if he continues being this way.”
“Sign your boyfriend up for Olympic speed walking.”
“So, what you’re saying is, your boyfriend went out of contact for 7 hours with his phone shut off, and he told you that he spent 7 hours walking home. And you actually believed him? Wow. Good luck.”
Under the hashtag #is it okay to keep the AC on all night?, a blogger writes, “As someone from Guangdong, from childhood, our families have kept the AC on 24/7 during the summer. Nobody wonders anything about all night or not. But ever since I came to Yunnan, I discovered that some areas get so cool at night that you don’t need any AC. Honestly, people here don’t even have AC, because even with a fan on, by the time night falls, it gets a bit too cold almost. I was totally shocked. China really is big.”
Comments say, “How can anyone stand having the AC on 24/7?”
“Do you need a barrier if the AC is blowing right on you?”
“I’m in Nanning, and we need the AC on 24/7, 365 days a year.”
Wang Dazhi isn't too bad! Can do a lot worse
Why 288K? That seems like an awfully specific number.
