Stormed off after scolding the cashier for “supporting Uighur genocide” after they wouldn’t help him find one made in Taiwan
Are the liberals ok? Are they flooding the streets after reddit took their apps away? This behavior used to be confined to terminally online losers
If I saw that in real life i might still refuse to believe it
Yea it’s super jarring the first time. Mine was at brunch with 4 others and they made fun of me because I had a Xiaomi phone and one said “You must like SpyOS eh?” 💀
You can choose a phone that spies on you for an agency on another continent, an ocean away; or a phone that spies for an agency with direct jurisdiction where you live. :edgeworth-shrug:
i mean, that’d be a snappy reply, but really the spying comes down to the cell towers you’re pinging, not the make or model of phone.
I’ve never understood that shit. So many people I know are paralyzed in fear by the mere idea that China might have access to their data, as if they do anything China could ever care about, or that China could do anything with that data.
No you don’t understand, Xi is specifically concerned about my browsing.
Well, both-and.
I use Xiaomi mesh WiFi in my home. It’s really good. These libs are crazy
brunch
spoiler
I miss having the disposable cash to frequently eat out on weekends lol.
This is homophobic you can’t attack brunch like that (I hate brunch)
Cantaloupes are liberalism
Cantaloupes do not deserve such slander
… i don’t recall the last time I noticed a cantaloupe. They are kind of a pain to solo before they go bad.
Same. Brunch just hits different.
It’s probably the dishes tbh. Weekend lunches at home mean you have to get off your ass and do them or see them until you do.
I cook components for weekday lunches at night, so with them and dinners it’s just dishes at the end of the day.
“No no, it’s not an Apple”
Ask them if they’ve tried suing the state department for unpaid labor
My reply to this was “I’m a true centrist, I give both sides a crack at my personal info.”
I’m very thankful I don’t live in a NATO country where this shit seems to be extremely prevalent. Most of our phones are bootlegs to begin with lol
It’s not NATO/West, just USA and a tiny bit Canada
Americans straight up talk shit, Canadians I can tell kinda look disappointed/down on me, and Europeans will be like “hell yea I loved my OnePlus/Huawei phone, it was amazing”
When a
on the bus was so mad that the bus was late when he got on that he out loud declared that the bus should be further privatized to “straighten things out” it seemed like a fictional moment even as it happened in front of me.
Feels like when my aunt told me the US’ recidivism rate was only so high because we don’t punish hard enough
Very common “law and order” boomer take.
Yeah, American prisons are famous for their luxury accommodations and gourmet meals. Just yesterday I murdered eleventy billion precious white children just so I could stay at the five star prison for a while.
Unfortunately the court only sentenced me to 10 minutes in prison because the judges and DAs love criminals like me and refuse to enforce the law, which is why America has the lowest incarceration rate in the world.
Try the “who’s going to pay for it
?” Argument. Really throws them for a loop.
I would doubt my own reality and retreat in to the belief that i’m part of some bad podcasts comedy bit.
It feels so fucking weird when your average boomer uncle starts repeating the most online bullshit ever, it’s pretty scary tbh.
I got called a tankie by a family member IRL once and I still haven’t processed it
lol i hope this is real. If they mention Uighurs they are definitely lib, a conservative would just be raging about China in general cause they took our jerbs
It was some cracker wonk.
Please don’t laugh. My dad was a line supervisor at Detroit Wok Works before he was laid off and they shipped his job overseas.
God, working as a cashier sucks. Imagine having to put up with that shit every day for minimum wage
Oh it does and it did
My favorite bit of feedback was the survey where they said I was “Too polite. Seemed fake.”
You can’t win
My silliest negative mystery shopper report said I was “too professional.”
Mystery shoppers get sent to the
after the revolution. Seriously, they’re some of the biggest assholes.

Your three steps to success in any field relating to consulting or surveying:
1. Find out what the client wants to hear
2. Find out how much they will pay to hear it
3. Double the price
You shouldn’t have filed that sales form in triplicate and had them wait for a notary to witness the sale
It was just some potato salad
Screaming at a cashier because of decisions made 40 years ago at the executive level is the most liberal shit
r/politics has broken the containment field and is seeping into real life.
I remember a poster here like just last week saying “do people REALLY act like r/politics users do out in the real world?”
They do now.
I heard a coworker say the other day that “Zelenskyy was doing a pretty good job” when I criticized actors that became politicians.
Yeah he’s doing a good job.
Doing a good job of throwing a tantrum at the UN, begging for money, and managing his busy schedule of magazine photoshoots
Forgot clapping for an actual SS nazi
A kinda related story: i was visiting a place in Fujian Close to Taiwan and visited a factory making pots, pans and woks and according to the tour guide there they got their start from turning scrap metal from artillery shells fired over by the KMT into pots and pans
Depleted uranium wok
Really gives the green beans some zing!
homer voice ooooOOOOooooo
Insane wok hay
Lol, same thing on the other side, seem like a conspiracy promoted by wok makers.
Bonus points if the wok came from the “Republic of China”.
My favorite moment behind the register came when CVS stopped selling cigarettes
This happened because they weren’t making enough money to justify selling them, but they spun it as if it was for our benefit because they cared so much about our health (keep in mind that CVS singles out “Patients of Greatest Need” i.e. sufferers of chronic illnesses and overcharged them, because they knew they could never stop taking their medications)
I had so many libs congratulating me and Chuds scolding me over a two week period, I almost fuckin’ quit right there
They replaced the Walgreens vape section with liquor here. Because THAT is healthy compared to those JUUL pods
covid messed with their brains
Covid, lead, microplastics, toxoplasmosis, aquanet, the magic blue smoke, vaping, car exhaust, ligma. There’s so much shit floating around in the standard anthropomorphic brain volume it’s a wonder the boundaries of the noosphere haven’t broken down entirely.
Thankfully I’ve been taking nootropics I bought on

What isn’t ligma these days? I think that is what we really need to be asking.
Idk man, sugma is NOT ligma.
Oh it’s amgil but in reverse.
I used to live near a food co-op that published a newsletter with a consistently hilarious Suggestions section. Once someone wrote in furious that the bell peppers came from China, and they ended their letter with “Nothing good has ever come from China!” The Co-op replied that bell peppers were in season in China, but not here, and that they strongly disagreed with the assertion. But I do wonder if they’d push back as hard now that the atmosphere has only been growing more hostile in the last ten years or so.
The idea of a printed newsletter asserting that nothing good has ever come from China despite the fact that both paper and block printing were invented in China is a good bit.
in 2000 America imported 6.38% of its total imports from China, in 2020 America imported 19.5% of its total imports from China, over a threefold increase. Setting aside the
question, if the US government actually cared about the treatment of Muslims in China (they don’t, they just got done bombing Muslim countries for 20 years), they would have to decouple the American economy from the Chinese economy as quickly as possible with a general boycott of Chinese goods. But we all know that’s not gonna happen, lol. People like that baffle me not just because of their unhinged reactionary politics, but because of their ludicrous idealism: They they think they can turn the ocean yellow by pissing in it.
The trade dependency is probably much higher than that if you count parts. A lot of doodads are assembled in the US or Mexico with primary components from China.
Done? Iraq is still under occupation.
thank you for your correction
I hate the government, not the people. That’s why I refuse to buy cookware made by the people.
Ugh… reminds me of working in electronic retail. The amount of people whining about stuff being made in China was just tiring.
The year is 2032. A dimming sun rises over America as Biden is elected for his 4th term, celebrating with a psychic speech from his golden throne. “Student loan interest rates will now be tripled.” Young 50-60 year old libs cheer in celebration as they storm retirement homes and smash chinaware and burn anything even tangentially silk related. Undersea mechanopensionists in Florida plan their fascist takeover of DC at their local Denny’s. It is a new day, same as the last.
You hate China, yet everything you possess was made in China. Checkmate, liberal.
