I didn’t downvote you, but you kind of glossed over the unreasonably high price point for a middle of the road Thinkpad that looks like it’s worth less than what Lenovo is currently reselling it for. You can literally build a high end gaming rig for less than what you paid for that so I feel like we’re missing a lot of context here.
Yes, people genuinely believe that the social credit exists.
Holy crap, I didn’t realize that site still existed. I’ve since lost touch, but I actually met some cool people from around the world that I was friends with for years through that site when I was a teenager 20 years ago.
The search in Jerboa is…limited. It searches on community name(not display name) and it will only show about a dozen of the largest communities as results and nothing more. You essentially need to already know what you’re looking for to find a great deal of value from it.
You really have to search for communities externally if you’re looking for something that isn’t a niche interest. There’s a small handful of directory sites that help with this, but I can’t for the life of me remember them at the moment if someone can help me out 😅
Edit: Mentaledge beat me too it. Lemmyverse.net is the largest of them.
You’ve done nothing wrong, however even if your question is not political certain people will try to make it political. Things will calm down a bit in about a month.
A lot of details regarding day to day Chinese life is not available to the Western world. You may have trouble finding an answer that’s based on actual evidence, but people are very similar despite where they live and their motives will be comparable. People here will definitely be able to help you in that regard.
It’s very close to a US election and people are being bombarded with highly emotionally charged stories and political information all day and everyone is a bit on edge currently. There’s also a pretty large amount of sinophobia on this platform in general too. I don’t have an answer to your question, but please try not to take what others might say too personally.
Huh, that’s somehow way worse. I always was under the impression that it was only Myrtle Beach.
I’ll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:
In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, NC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.
That’s about it.

I’ll never not read those stickers as “Slut Life” because of the idiotic font they chose.
I’ve moved across country twice so far and this is pretty spot on. The very beginning and very end of the trip is the only point that’s going to be potentially difficult, otherwise you should always be traveling on a major highway if possible.
The only thing I would add is to plan ahead and make sure you know exactly where you’re going to stop and rest for the night with that length of drive. You’re going to want to plan to get to your final destination in early evening when there is a good buffer of sunlight still around or in the early mid-morning so that you can get as early a start as possible on unpacking. Also make sure you have a lock for the back of the moving truck if you’re stopping anywhere overnight and park the truck somewhere you can see it from your hotel window.
They are reading the replies, but from their replies they just don’t care about their own question. They’re just a debate me chud.
Okay wow. This was really uncalled for. What did I ever do to you?
Let me know how your back feels in the morning
The bear has a circle beard. A goatee is traditionally only the hair under your chin, but the definition is pretty loose nowadays.
This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.
It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]
The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.
Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!
That’s how it shows up for me at least. Reduced aspect ratio and the top/bottoms of images are cropped to a standard size. I have been needing to wait a second for the image to fully load it’s full format rather than needing to interact with a post though - it just happens automatically when it’s in view on the screen.
Maybe stop stirring the pot? At this point it really just seems like you’re the problem here with how petty and antagonistic you’re being.
The only reason the Fextralife wiki exists is because they use it to inflate their twitch channel viewercounts and channel metrics for sponsors with the embedded stream on every page(Unless twitch finally fixed this loophole). The entire business model of Fextralife is literally farming ad revenue so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
