I understand some people are infrequent traveler so they may not know, but showing up to airport security line wearing like, three layers, sunglasses, a hat, a belt, that you only start taking off when you get to the "put stuff on tray" part is just, sigh

So this week conservative Americans were mad at
- a church lady asking Trump to show compassion to gay people
- people saying Musk did the Nazi salute, which he clearly did twice on live tv
I can't tell if they're that brainwashed delusional or they know they're being ridiculous but don't care

One way to do that would be to give coverage to Chinese flagships that offer newer/better hardware every year, thus shining a light on how Samsung and Google are on cruise control with hardware, but y'all don't do that because the phones "don't sell in US" (as if you only have US based readers)
Samsung needs to give us a reason to care about new phones every year

Bring the exciting stuff or bring back S years.

Hey US gov, the fact Americans are "flocking" to another Chinese app after y'all said TikTok was spying on them shows they think you full of shit lol
As Americans flock to RedNote, privacy advocates warn about surveillance

All these "you can rent a girlfriend", "rent a family", "rent a companion" stuff in Japan I see western YouTubers/comedians do, it's presented as all fun because westerners love Japan. If this was in china, man the whole framing would turn so uncomfortable and gross

I'm in Chonqqing. Used Didi inside WeChat to hail a ride. But because it's a "mini app" within WeChat, as soon as I exit the app I can't go back to the Didi order again so I can't see the driver info or adjust the address.
The ecosystem in China is a whole different beast.

It's gonna be funny seeing Fast 11 hastily tie up the myriad of plot points established in Fast X in the first 15 mins of film to pivot to become an entirely different movie because Vin realized Fast X got too stupid.
Vin Diesel says he wants to take the ‘FAST & FURIOUS’ franchise back to “real street racing and practical stunts” as well as reunite with Dwayne Johnson.
