ive been living with my wife for like 20 years i couldnt imagine not having someone in another room i couldnt have a quick adhd stim where i have to run in there and tell them the interesting (to me) thing i just heard real quick like im 5 years old
youd think 20 years of her sighing and pausing her tv show to hear me out (and not be interested in it all) would have driven her away by now but this is our routine and im not changing at this point in my life so
its not my lifestyle but from the few people irl i know who do the poly thing its generally like this there is a primary couple and then like 2 or 3 people who are part of it but those people are a bit more casual it seems… i dunno
does the fire know that burning down houses is illegal?
That’s a good observation. I think in many cases that is it. In some it is westerners literally believing the worst about Chinese people. In some cases it could be a little of both.
When he is talking about Chinese people and North Koreans being nice in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSb6tSA-TdQ which do you think it is? [Big Sinophobia warning for that video, btw]

Just remembered this one! It’s new I say it like 2 days ago. Absolutely peak burger-brain.
Also big Content Warning the Sinophobia and ignorance here is pretty off the charts. I know his schtick is being an ignorant westerner but still… it’s bad.
Just did a big response to the comment above you. Honestly if you just want to watch this slop as ‘2nd monitor content’ just search for “FIRST TIME IN CHINA” on the ole 'Tube. Tons of videos on it and most these days are decent. The western brain is getting better, I think. Over the years I’ve found myself wanting more and more to visit China so I’ve seen plenty of this. It’s one of my bucket list travel destinations: Chongqing, Shanghai, as well as Cuba, Vietnam, Nairobi mostly. One day I’ll make an itinerary and hit those places with some surrounding destinations.
So in defense of westerners it IS getting better than it was even 5 years ago but I don’t keep a list saved anywhere. Lemme look and find some shit.
Let’s start off with one that’s fun… this dude is making a video to showcase China to a western audience. He’s impressed and wants you to see modern Shenzen and be impressed, too.

The thing is that you know that he is explaining it to the western ethos and when you think about this tone it is kind of ridiculous that westerners would need this sort of tone to be able to understand that yes, Shenzen, China’s technology hub, is actually a city of the future right now.
Compare that to this video from and Indian point of view.

That part I find interesting. The tone and what they focus on.
Here’s one where these people seem nice but they are sooooo western-brained.

Don’t get me wrong, it looks like a fun trip. Going to a park and riding a roller coaster seems dope. But I don’t think it let’s you “experience what daily life is like” for the people there like she opens that segment in. Like, what? In the middle part when she shares her thoughts she says the city is nothing like any she’s visited while standing in a section that looks like any major city you might see anywhere else in the west.
Or her talking about being “warned” about cameras on every corner. Lady, you live in the UK. That’s London. Of course she immediately follows that up with the “everyone is so friendly” thing I was talking about. It’s Shanghai and you are being a polite tourist. Like I was saying, people almost everywhere love a good guest. Then immediately follows it with “They have SEPHORA!”
So this isn’t China but Cuba but I want to highlight the last thing I said about westerners thinking nobody can talk to them honestly about their countries government and politics because they think an evil communist agent is going to steal them away the moment the westerner leaves.

He literally starts his video out with this strange diatribe. And then there is this entire video of his…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cflJ7xlnu7c
Just complete and total burger-brain. I know I’m moving away from China here but I don’t have any videos I recall specifically regarding China from years ago that are this bad but I did recall these ones about Cuba from Rare Earth because they are so particularly egregious.
I do recall a video from about 5 years ago from Xianjing for a western travel blogger and all the comments on the video were like, “that guy standing there on the corner is Chinese special police ensuring no westerners move away from the main market area” and “you are so blind you don’t see the handlers all around you.” So the treavel vlogger returns a few months later and goes way off the beaten path and addresses the previous comments and of course they were saying, “well the CCP knows about you so they made sure that this area was curated for your audience” along with the obvious “how much did the CCP pay you for this propaganda.” I really wish I could find those two videos they were absolutely wild due to the comments.
no problem added a sinophobia warning
liberal moment
every device does this i have an android and my wife and i have tested it by talking about bogus shit like having a kid or needing diapers while we have social media apps open.
for the record we are barren and have no kids. but its starts serving you ads for formula and shit
been telling people this for like a decade and everyone in tech gets on the internet like a know-it-all and goes on about how its not true fucking fools
elan school is horrific and also very well illustrated and told
a lot of it seems outlandish until you start reading other peoples accounts and realize that he is telling the truth. that is how that place was
i dunno when i was a kid another kid brought a porno to school and it definitely made him more popular
thats not true if you are a white boy who is 17 and three quarters and violentlyremoved someone you are clearly a minor and need 20 more second chances
