09/03/24 - If you can’t even refuse your boss’s demands to work overtime, why would you think you can decide what happens to your uterus?
“I know a lot of people want me to talk about the Qingdao announcement. [where a woman driving down the wrong side of the street beat up a man driving normally for not making way for her]
Normally, I would’ve already. In fact, I’ve already got a 2000 word draft typed up.
The reason I haven’t talked about it so far is because I’ve been in a bad mood all day. So bad, that I’m worried I won’t be able to stop once I get started, and bring a lot of trouble to myself and others. Since so many people are talking about it already, I figure there’s no need for me to.
The reason I’m in a bad mood is because of the two other announcements today, the accident in Tai’an [where a school bus crashed into waiting students and parents killing 11 people] and the case in Changchun [where a man killed a cop, took his gun, and took people hostage]. Honestly, I’m not nearly as strong as my words might look on Weibo sometimes. I often can’t handle things myself, I just don’t let everyone know.
Just go to bed early and try to stay alive.”
Comments say, “Go get some rest. You’re not the world police.”
“In conclusion, we need to eliminate the people who are always trying to feed the public shit.”
“Tai’an, Changchun, and a driver who got arrested for running over a child biker and his wife who has leukaemia, plus this police announcement and the closed comment section under it. There’s just nothing I want to say.”
“On the 3rd of September, in Henan, Nanyang, a taxi driver posted a video to the internet claiming that a passenger forgot a bag on his car, and he drove from Xichuan County to Xixia County to return it to her. The metre ran up to almost 60 RMB, but he only asked for 50 RMB, but the owner of the bag claimed the amount of cash in it was wrong. After much arguing, he resorted to calling the police. After police questioning, it was proven the amount of cash was correct. The taxi driver said that he’d filmed the process of returning the bag too, he just chose not to post it at the time to avoid causing the passenger trouble.”
Comments say, “She should get fined 500 RMB for wasting police resources.”
“If the amount of cash isn’t right, that means this probably isn’t her bag. He should’ve turned around and dropped it off at the furthest police station possible and let her go reclaim it herself.”
”She just didn’t wanna pay for the car fees. If we don’t punish this harshly and set an example, others will copy her.”
“A lot of older TV shows have gotten women’s “inappropriate fantasies” completely wrong.
In reality, most women never think about dating their boss.
Less ambition women might think, “I wonder if I can get a raise? I wonder how I can get insurance?”
And more ambition women will think, “How strong is my boss? If he’s too much better off than me, than I need to keep my eyes open and learn from him. If he’s not as good as me, I need to find a good opportunity to kick him down and replace him.”
And people in between just get by while waiting for opportunity.
We’re women, not retards. We understand that this is a dog eat dog world.”
Comments say, “I’m sick and tired of seeing my boss just from all the hours I’ve worked. If these short series writers have worked so much as two days in their lives, they’d know.”
“I’m having a good day if I’m not cussing out my boss in my heart.”
“There’s a whole bunch of clickbait threads about having a crush on your boss too. It shows up all the time and I’m so annoyed. Who would fall in love with their boss? I only want to crush my boss with my car.”
“If you don’t speak up! And I don’t speak up! Then nobody will speak up for women!!
Everyone is focusing on this case, why can’t we get a trending hashtag!? Why are they directing attention away!?
Resolute opposition! Filter out spies! Everyone, upvote me to the top!
#Surrogacy group chat prices eggs based on diploma and height #Qingdao surrogacy lab.”
Comments say, “2. I’m against surrogacy for the sake of girls from poor families, who shouldn’t be forced into surrogacy. And talented women shouldn’t be trafficked into surrogacy. 3. It’s so I can walk home late at night without being shoved into a bag and carried off, only to wake up on a surgery table waiting for an embryo to be planted into me. 4. If you can’t even refuse your boss’s demands to work overtime, why would you think you can decide what happens to your uterus once surrogacy is legal?”
“They sure are doing a good job of keeping attention off of this.”
“Surrogacy is illegal! Please pay attention to women’s safety! Get some attention on this—women aren’t products. Uteruses aren’t products. Don’t let women become products. Oppose surrogacy, don’t let it become a business.”
“If everyone turns their attention to the Qingdao surrogacy lab, some people will get even more scared. #Qingdao police announcement on Wang’s traffic violation and assault case.”
Comments say, “The Qingdao surrogacy thing doesn’t even have a trending hashtag.”
“Society is scary. Protect yourselves.”
“Everything relies on internet sleuthing.”
A compilation of Japan running out of rice:
“Don’t panic, worst case scenario, you can order some on Taobao and have it shipped internationally. It feels more expensive (since 2 RMB’s worth of rice costs 8 RMB if you count shipping), but it’s actually cheaper than what you can get normally in Japan.”
“Or you come over to Umeda. I checked yesterday and we still have rice here.”
“I was in Tottori from the 10th to the 20th and they had plenty of rice, so I figured it wasn’t a big deal. Once I came back to Osaka, I was dumbfounded. I’m about to die.”
“Can’t get any at all. It sells out as soon as the shelves get stocked. I guess if I get here first thing in the morning…”
“Went to the Don Quixote Discount Store near my house, and their rice section has been replaced by instant noodles.”
“I gotta thank the international student support program at a certain Osaka language school. I’m not even done with the rice they gave us last month and I’ve already received this month’s rice.”
“Netizens found that the Land Rover driver is holding something in her hand. I don’t think she was hitting the other driver with just her bare hands.”
Comments say, “The guy isn’t totally innocent either. Everything would’ve been find if he just got out of the way, and now it’s all over the news.”
“Look into whether she has an organised crime background. I can’t imagine an unemployed woman driving a Land Rover acting so reckless. It doesn’t seem normal.”
“Her mentality was formed from the local society that she lives with. Normal people would never think they could win in a fight against a young man.”
A compilation of how crazy old people are with smartphones:
“Ever since my grandpa got a phone, he hasn’t had a sleep schedule at all. Plays on his phone every night until the early AM and then sleep until noon. Makes me want to find him a job or something.”
“Right before my grandma passed, she told me to turn her phone into a new one, so people don’t see anything on her phone. She repeated it several times before I understood her, and as soon as I nodded, she passed away.”
“My MIL is a country woman who’s never went to school. She’s worked hard all her life, growing veggies that she sells herself. Ever since my SIL started working at Dianxin [Chinese phone company] and bought her a phone and got her internet, my MIL often hides away in a corner to play on her phone. Even her field’s went barren.”
“My grandma and grandpa each have their phones, and they’re playing on it as soon as they wake up every day.”
“Lol, my grandma used to work in the field every day. And ever since my dad gave her a phone, it all changed. Now she plays until midnight every day, and get up by 8AM to play some more. She’s on her phone from morning to night. And she’s telling my dad off every day for not being a good enough son, yelling at me for not finding a date, and yelling at my grandpa for not loving her. Won’t listen to a word we say XD”
“My dad’s an old antique. He yelled at me every time I tried buying him something, until I got him a smartphone. He’s in love with that thing. He was playing with it until the moment he died.”
“Same with my dad. He’s always in some hot girl’s livestream watching them sell face masks. One day, she said something like, “Sweethearts, place your order!” and he bought a whole crate of face masks (like the crates that cooking oil comes in). Jesus. We’ve been using it for years and we’re still not out. I asked him why he even bought it, and he said she called him a sweetheart, so he had to show his support.”
“My grandpa plays with his phone all night, and my grandma will call me to complain about it. So I bought her a smart phone too. Now they can both stay up all night on their phones.”
“Was just reading the police announcement in detail, and they mentioned, “Ms. Wang was driving towards the hospital for her appointment.” What’s the purpose of this sentence? What does her doctor’s appointment have to do with her beating people up?”
Comments say, “In conclusion, she beat him up for a good reason, you have to be more understanding, is the man not at fault at all in here?”
“They’re just making excuses for her driving down the wrong side of the street. It’s like she owns the police station or something.”
“It’s so they can foreshadow her getting a psych evaluation at the hospital next.”
