My read is totally different.

Flock is like Kleenex.

Maybe its a name brand, but people in actual language are just using it to mean these surveillance systems

Kitchen doors are frequently like that too. Maybe it’s two different restaurants (Sun Child & Moon Child) that share the same dining area? Wonder what types of cuisine each serve

Nothing indicates either door is a restroom. That’s an assumption we’re bringing into this.

I think one room is a conservatory and the other room is sensory deprivation chamber

Okay, I confess that I don’t deserve healthcare. Do I get healthcare now?

I haven’t been to the mainland, but in Taiwan parks are well utilized. People exercise or just sit and hangout, sometimes with tea or beer

Not a doctor or anything, but I imagine it could be this bad: https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/taiwan-hospital-removes-over-300-kidney-stones-from-woman-who-prefers-bubble-tea-to-plain-water

I’m a dumb yank, but I’d never advise anyone to go with an Apple product, largely cuz I’m poor but also cuz I don’t like Apple’s UI

The Panthers and CPUSA were infiltrated, of course there’re feds in DSA

My mom is a boomer, she can name them but oddl didn’t recognize a portrait of Marx in my living room lol

Its wild. You can go on chinese language news media from China and see them posting about it with video and images

Then bbc et al take those images and video, repost them and say China is censoring the media

Fucking insane

20% is the standard now, sometimes people tip more or less

When I was a kid the standard tip was 15%, not sure when/why it changed

I hope she dies alone and in pain

Very skeptical of humanoid robots beyond being a toy.

Yes. That’s my point.

Bet my car can beat this robot at the 100m too

Graduated college around 2010. It’ll get marginally better. If you’re lucky and get an advanced degree, you might get a job making 25$/hr like me (no bennies)

I for one want my space fascist thugs to only be non-binary

I think if she got redeemed, she’d need to give up her titles and privileges; completely reject her old ideology which was based in hereditary absolutism. That would never happen cuz it’s made by libs.
