Time to collect my paycheck I guess 😂

(Also: When the fuck did I ever mention Taiwan? I said “Before becoming a Wumao, learn some Chinese”. Bro is mad 😁)

        The CCP is lirerally in the room I’m in. My parent have Wechat 👀

        Its fine tho, I can just yell 光复香港,时代革命(Free HK, Revolution of our times) during their annoying Wechat voice calls to turn it off 🤭. (I haven’t actually tried, but maybe I should since they talk so loud on the phone and it annoys the fuck out of me)

        Edit: I mean, at this point, they (ccp) know I’m very anti-ccp. I shit talked about the one child policy when they have their phones in ther room, and they obviously just tap “allow” whenever a permission request pops up 🤦‍♂️

      Which is especially weird, considering that the official Mandarin name for the CCP is “Zhōngguó Gòngchǎndǎng”, the first word of which is the Mandarin word for “Chinese.” The literal translation yields the common name, not the special name that MLs insist is the only acceptable one.

    If Taiwan doesn’t exist where do these mfers keep getting CPUs from to spread their nonsense on the internet? After all it was made in a country that doesn’t exist and didn’t exist when it was made

    I had a conversation with a “Democrats betrayed us on Gaza” account, during which time it started to seem pretty likely to me they they couldn’t speak Arabic but were pretending that they could. That was pretty interesting. Instead of being able to speak on the Arabic details we were talking about, they started dissembling into a pattern of (1) hostility (2) accusing me of being the person in the wrong because I am bad (3) randomly changing the subject, making nonsensical statements, and insisting that they were right. Sort of like these examples:

    If you start looking closely, it’s only a small number of accounts that tend to “argue” in that very particular way, and they almost all have the same particular political views. I wonder why.

      Just more evidence to push towards “they are targeting places as fringe as lemmy now” conclusion in our previous conversation.

          I don’t think it’s a lot. Most are sane but they are trying to infiltrate with extra accounts.

            That could be the case. However, your instance admins don’t seem to want to do much modding. I’ve seen lots of questionable comments from there including hate speech and all sorts of bizarre takes. It might all one person for all I know but it looks the same from the outside. I haven’t blocked your instance as of yet but if the spam increases I might have to unfortunately.

          Your instsnce literally block 3 spam instances and threads.net and thats it. Everything else goes, even the pedo intances that supposedly exists (but I am not gonna try to verify their existence since that’s just 🤮, but scroll down the instance list and you see some with “pedo” in their domain name, which is just huge red flags)

          A lot of places that are “full of tankies” actually have more people not like that in them. However, the moderation is another story. So while you may not get that feeling from the general user base, that is because it is often the mods people are talking about. Unless it’s like hexbear, which were brigading and shit.

      Apparently there’s a decently sized community on the instance I’m on. It’s got a different vibe than most similar reddit communities though

      It’s just that oxidative phosphorylation with the mitochondria is dramatically more efficient than basic ass glycolysis. Animals couldn’t exist as fast moving creatures without mitochondria.

      The meme about the mitochondria is only for people that haven’t taken biochemistry. But the citric acid cycle is super interesting.

        They made a small bag covered in proteins and use the energy from breaking down citric acid to keep pumping in protons.

        The protons can leave, but they have to push a turnstile that phosphoralyzes adp first.

        It’s simple, but elegant, rube-Goldberg reduced to its essentials.

    Wow misread these so hard.

    Guess 90% of people are CIA agents then if they are going to get mad about a common denomination.
