「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」

Two dystopias in one peninsula 💀

I have this memory of getting a 3x3 Rubik’s cube from mom for… I think either X-Mas or New Years… Not sure if “favorite” but definitely most memorable…

I think this is the only time I didn’t have to “beg” for stuff… usually I only get stuff if I really nagged my parents a lot… and my requests get denied frequently (cuz money issues being a new immigrant) but this time I kinda just mentioned “I want that magic cube thing that I had before, I wanna solve it now”, I mentioned it like with the past two weeks, and she just went ahead and got one for me… (but its those cheap ones with the weird stickers that would eventually fall off… I kinda destroyed it cuz I’m bad at keeping stuff lol, like I broke or lost a lot of things I had) But hey, she didn’t get it because I begged, she actually wanted me to be happy… like that felt more emotional, more like a real gift than just being a “bribe” to keep me quiet and stop being annoying.

That was during my… I think early teen years, and before that I had a cube in my early childhood like at least few years before, can’t remember much about those earlier cubes I had except as a memory of recalling another memory.

I used to closer to her… I think I just got older and… um… life expectations (careers, sucess, expectation of being able to be independent and acquire wealth and win this game of capitalism)

No subtitles, but quick search for English Lyrics: Here

Has the word “Train” in it. MV has train. This qualifies???

I just randomly came across this song not too long ago xD

(Not really about trains per se, but more of used as a metaphor)

His last question before getting banned was: “AITAH if I don’t feel anything about my best friend’s dying child?” 💀

Lemmy told me that I’d get kidnapped by ICE the moment a non-white person stepped outside…

I went to a post office in a predominently white neighborhood to apply for a passport (earliest available appointment cuz cities are always filled), the guy working at the post office was a brown guy with an “Indian Accent” (which I did not expect to be working in a white neighbood btw).

I’m ethnically Chinese and did not get harassed by anyone… Lemmy would have you believe there are lynch mobs and white-hooded KKK people trying to shoot you on sight, did not happen…

Also none of my family had been harassed by ICE yet… I heard some relatives and friends of my parent’s social circle cross the border just fine… my aunts be going on vacations and cruises… (my parents so jealous of their wealth and keep telling me “why can’t you be like them” 😭)

That being said, maybe me being Chinese and not Hispanic/Latino made the risks lower, not trying to invalidate the fears that other more vulnerable communities might face.

THE POLICE BOMBED A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD!

Not me but:

Brooo omg my older brother SLEPT in the bathroom of a warehouse for TWO HOURS 🤣

Like dude hid in a stall and just… wait how the fuck can you even sleep in the position?

He never got caught lol

My mom was like: “They’re gonna catch you slacking and then drag you out jn front of everyone to humiliate you”

Mom told me that back in China, they micromanage every employee and you could never get away with being “afk” for 2 hours lmfao…

But is a big place in that warehouse so its hard to notice someone gone for 2 hours…

Then they started doing bathroom signout sheets… like wtf… are we still in K-12 school??? (it’s a unionized place too not sure whats going on now lol)
