The Front Man managed to get the money from S.Korea to the US…

I think I’ll be fine…

(Okay seriously tho, I’d buy crypto to launder the money and hide it from IRS…)

How do they even verify my foreign birth certificate?

Like I could just forge one bearing the seal of my former country, how do they even tell if that’s legit?

Soon: “Former US President Donald Trump granted Russian Citizenship” 👀

Glory to Arstotzka!

I uses to live in Brooklyn, NY and had a school that has a 9/10 rating on greatschools dot org (or whatever that site is)

Then my parents moved us to Philly cuz she didn’t wanna keep paying rent and bought a house in Philly (a house in NYC is impossible to afford)

The schools here…

So I looked online…

Oh boy…

2/10

😭

No wonder why these housing prices are mych cheaper… and the tax was kinda not too high too…

And I’m ethnic Chinese…

Oh my god all those racist stereotypes against Asians… it’s on full display…

I could practically hear my inner child crying inside my head right now as I type this comment:

“媽媽，呢度好恐怖啊，可唔可以返去紐約啊？🥺👉👈” (“Mama, this place is very scary, can we go back to New York?”)

Guess who has depression and because of that dropped out of college?

😭

(Okay shitty schools were just one factor, shitty home environment is the other one)

I don’t trust others’ reviews.

Curious, if reviews are REALLY BAD, do you still ignore it or just be on the err side of things and not go there/buy that thing/use that service?

Tip for passwords in general:

Create a password, but don’t actually use it yet.

Like… make an empty account for Bitwarden (or if you use Keepass, make an empty database) with that password, then keep logging in every 5 minutes or so… for like 3 times… then log in like every 1 hours or so for lile 3 hours… then ever 6 hours…

etc…

make sure you spend like 1 or 2 days doing this routine… of logging in every X time to get it committed to memory…

THEN after you know its memorized, start using the Bitwarden account (or Keepass database).

Also if you are using Bitwarden, pay like one time for the premium (its yearly but you can cancel the renew).

Set up emergency access to anoyher Bitwarden accouny with a secondary email

Then add that secondary Bitwarden account as your Primary’s Emergency Access contact.

Then write the SECONDARY account’s Email address, Email Password, and Bitwarden Password, on a piece of paper.

Set it for like X time then check your email for your primary account every X/2 days (if you set it as 14 days for recovery, check it at least once every 7 days) to make sure nobody got your piece of paper and tring to steal your passwords.

You can store it in a bank safe… or just in a drawer somewhere at home is fine too. Even if a roomate/family member gets it, you get a notification if they try to do emergency access…

This protects you from randomly getting retrograde amnesia…

And this is better than actually writing your PRIMARY account’s log in details down, because it give you a 14 day buffer (or whatever days you set it to) before someone can actually make use of those credentials…

And afiak, you only need premium to add an emergency contact, you don’t need premium for future years to keep it continue working.

THAT’S NOT A CAT!

It’s the raw chicken from How to Basic…

Doesn’t armed IRS agents come to your house and shoot you?

That’s the horror story we were all told growing up: “Never be late on your taxes or the taxman will bring the god of death!” -Mom

If you want to live in a country that banned porn, feel free to move to People’s Republic of China.

(Or I guess Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan is also a good choice)

Curious, do you disable biometrics when you sleep?

I make sure to disabke biometrics (triggering the power menu in iOS or using “Lockdown” in power menu on Android, these disable biometrics) before I go to sleep…

Don’t want someone to try to unlock my phone while I sleep lmao. (I live with family)

I mean I sometimes reboot it so its in BFU mode as well…

Sex is not a big part of relationships in some cultures, particulary those with a tendency of arranged marriages.

They just view each other like a sort of an inseparable lifetime friend more than a sex object

Reminds me of this joke my parents told me, which I’m gonna paraphrase:

"We used to not have not much to eat, food was rationed, and we only got one 鹹魚 (Salted Fish) at home, not enough for everyone, so we’d have a bowl of rice, and instead of eating the 鹹魚 with rice, we look at it and pretend like we’re eating it, then we eat the rice…

Then this kid was just kinda staring into space and his eyes was facing the 鹹魚 and the mom was like: ‘唔好睇咁耐啊，鹹死你啊！’ (‘don’t stare it for too long, you’re gonna die in overdose of sodium’)"

This joke was so lame but I kinda just awkwardly laugh at it when my parent told it… and they repeatedly told that joke that it just got stuck in my memory…

FOR FUCKS SAKE, ITS CALLED A MAXIMUM ABSORBANCY GARMET! 🙄

(and no, I am not one of those Astronauts… 👀)

I don’t think you can just randomly marry someone, you have to be actually in love, not just marrying for the sake of immigration benefits, like they actually investigate if your marriage is legitimate.

“American People got ‘control’ of [insert thing here]”

🤣

We don’t even have control of our own government which is supposedly “of the people, by the people, for the peoole” 🤣🤣🤣

(apologies for the excess use of emojis)

900000 have more than 1 house

Careful there bud, Lemmy is gonna start doxxing them and bringing guillotines

I’m not gonna just willy nilly block people… already too low userbase, I kinda wanna just see the drama

Like even that user asking weird age gap questions is part of the entertainment lol

But if they start being overtly toxic… yea I’m just gonna block and ignore

I mean at that point, you might as well as use a password manager… which then you can more easily back up the database… 🤷‍♂️ I mean are you really gonna take a picture every time you update it? Not very steamlined…
