I saw a two posts today regarding Chinese internet discourse here: https://www.reddit.com/NonCredibleDefense/comments/13ycebe/disinfolklore_how_the_chinese_counterpart_of_ncd/

Schizo rant warning: A non Chinese native speaker may have a hard time comprehending just how different Chinese internet language is different from most other internet societies. Due to the pervasive but precision-guided censorship, Chinese internet users at this point practically have a entire set of vocabulary and coded ways of speaking that are unlike anywhere where the internet is not censored. A side effect of this is that arguments on the Chinese internet are often very toxic and full of ad hominem. The entire phenomenon is known in Chinese as 抽象 meaning literally "abstract", but can be best understood as a blend of noncredible+4chan applied to everything.
One major characteristic of this is the use of various methods to circumvent censorship. For example, Mao Zedong is almost never referred to by name. Neutral people refer to him as 猫 "cat" or "neko" (Japanese word for cat) or 太祖 "grand ancestor" (a traditional title for founders of Chinese dynasties), supporters refer to him as 教员 "teacher", 伟人 "the great one" , or 他说是人民，人民说是他 "He says its the people, the people say its him" (referring to how Mao is supposed to support people power). Opponents refer to him as 佛 "buddha", 阿波罗 "Apollo" (sun god, referring to his cult of personality), 波尔布特的好老师 "Pol Pot's good teacher", 胶原 "collagen" (homophonous in Chinese to teacher, which his supporters use), or 腊肉 "salted meat" (referring to how he was embalmed).
China itself is also rarely ever referred to by name. Instead, it is usually replaced with other countries, such as Vietnam or US, and used in context so that that others will know you are talking about China. An example of this is one person posting "Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh blockaded the port of Haiphong to prevent starving peasants from leaving there villages and forcing them to starve to death", and another would respond "Does your Vietnam happen to have 5 stars on its flag?". Another example will be "Roosevelt is so evil that he allowed 30 million Americans to starve to death", and another would respond "Did this Roosevelt serve for 27 years? (Mao's term length)".
These are just two examples. There are many many more and are pervasive in China largely due to censorship. This is known as 解构, which means "to take apart" or "deconstruction", meaning that any argument can be taken apart and thrown back. Other common examples of this include 唉，资本 "Ugh, capital", implying that the other person blames eall problems on capitalism, which latter expanded to things such as "Ugh, America", "Ugh, Jews", or eventually "Ugh, Ugh", reaching two degrees of deconstruction.
During the Russo-Ukrainian war, personal insults for supporters of either side also became very common. Pro-Ukrainians often call pro-Russians 俄孝子 "filial son of Russia" or 鸟拉 "Replacing the first character in the Russian war cry Ura! written in Chinese as 乌拉 with a similar character meaning bird" or 黄俄 "Yellow Russians", later changed to 黄鹅 "yellow goose" because Russian and goose are homophonous in Chinese. Pro-Russians call pro-Ukrainians 乌贼 "Ukrainian bandit", which also means "squid". The word 殖人 "colonized man" is also thrown around, referring to how a person considers another from the opposing view as wanting to be colonized and subjected to domination. The phrases 1小时22分 "1 hour and 22 minutes" and 一战封神 "Became a GOAT with one battle" are also used to mock Pro-Russians due to them claiming near the war's beginning that Russia would will quickly with only one battle in 1 hour and 22 minutes. This type of attack is known as 合订本 "record book", meaning that Pro-Russians would often contradict themselves to defend Russia. The same thing also happens with Pro-Ukrainians when they become overly optimistic, for example suggesting that Ukraine could take back Bakhmut any day when they in fact couldn't.
A final cornerstone of the Chinese internet is the use of one word retorts. Common one word retorts include 赢 "win" (implying the other person is attempting to make a defeat seem as a win), 绷 "are you kidding me" (short form of 绷不住了, meaning the person just posted something retarded), 急 "Bro calm down" (implying the other person has gotten angry, unlike in English this is used as an insult), etc. Because these one word retorts are thrown around extremely frequently, they've become far more common than practically anything in English.
Censorship in China has created the unique situation that the entire Chinese internet has become 4chan-ized. Everyone insults everyone and everything is prone to being deconstructed. It's barely possible to have a serious argument in most places anymore. Anyway this is my schizo rant about how China is very noncredible.

Serious question, but always up for a good meme reply.
Looking for techniques on how to deal with sweating a lot in the tropics. I’m talking walking for 10ish minutes outside in Bangkok and have drenched shirts sweating. Normally I pack an 1-2 extra t-shirts and just change in a restroom when the sweating gets too bad. However this means I go through a full load of laundry in like 6 days.
Because of all the sweating, I go through at least ~4L wateday in the tropics, usually with added electrolytes salts if I’m working out.
The only thing that has sorta helped for me is not eating a lot of carbs, but rice is a staple dish in most tropical environments so that’s not really an option.
Would like to hear how other sweaty nomads deal with the tropics.

I’m taking my kid to his friend’s 6th birthday party tomorrow, and it’s Superhero themed. They want kids and parents to dress up. It will be 82 degrees and at a park.
I don’t think I have any superhero costumes or shirts. Maybe some of my kid’s extra accessories like a cape or mask.
What should I wear? Anything I can easily DIY? Mr Incredible logo on a piece of paper taped onto a red shirt?
Or should I just go to Target and get a superhero shirt? Any recs? I don’t really have a favorite superhero and can’t see myself wearing a superhero shirt again except for around the house…

So I have a couple of these K87 CHR shirts that say original fit Carhartt T-shirts size medium and I can tell they’re old. Looking on the Carhart current website I noticed for the short sleeves they only have the relaxed, fit and loose fit. Does anybody know what fit is closest to the K87 CHR. I’m a newbie to wearing Carhartt shirts. I’m in the market for some new Carhart T-shirts and when I look up K87 shirts. loose fit shirts pop up. Please help any suggestions support advice is appreciated. Thank you in advanced !

i don’t even know where to start gonna be a long read i’m sorry…
so i had my daughter three years ago and got the mirena iud right after. the first year after having the mirena i was completely fine but the last two years i have had pain during sex that got worse and worse. about 3 months into this pain i went to an obgyn got an internal ultrasound and they said everything is fine yada yada.
i would say about a year ago i caught my baby daddy cheating on me due to the “lack of intimacy” because of my pain during sex. i waited 6 weeks and got tested and no std or sti.
fast forward to about two months ago i was having extreme pain to the point i couldn’t even tolerate sex, i setup an appointment with a new obgyn and got tested pap smear all that stuff. turns out i have chlamydia, i have no idea how long i had it because i was still with my babydad.
i took the medicine and i felt better but i was still having pain during sex so i got another internal ultrasound. it came back saying i had a small ovarian cyst that i shouldn’t even be able to feel and that there is no other issues.
i decided to prematurely remove my iud incase that is the cause of all my issues. i’ve had sex one time since the removal and it still hurts.
next thing i know a couple weeks later i’m pissing blood have back pain and it all hurts so bad. i go to the ER they do tests and say it’s probably a UTI but they have to send the test out and will call me. (it’s been a week and nobody has called me, and the test results on mychart are like flagged but idk what they mean) i’ve been on UTI medicine and i only have one more day of medicine and it still hurts to pee. and NOW i have this painful lump but it’s not like on my vagina directly, it’s like where my pubic hair grows but it’s under the skin, i cannot see it at all from the outside it’s not an ingrown hair idek what to do.
i feel like everyone had been dismissing my issues and i just want to know what’s wrong with me. if anyone wants to see any of my test results just ask, i have the ultrasound and the other stuff.

so my partner is non-binary (they/them) and we’ve been dating for almost 4 years now. They cheated on me months ago but I still haven’t really moved on from it.
I only found out because I was snooping on their computer and I remember they were acting super off before and usually typing a lot. I tried asking so many times even before I caught them but they’d constantly lie to me. I have only been honest with them and I told them I only asked for 100% honesty at the start of the relationship.
We both only recently turned 21 and even before they cheated I wasn’t sure about our relationship. I’m not happy with the sexual relationship either. I want to break up but our lease isn’t up for months and it’s not like I have any support system if I’m being honest. Rent in my state has only gotten more expensive and im still just trying to save up for at least a car so im not as dependent. I feel really alone and I’ve pushed away friends because a lot of my friends are also friends with them.
I’ve told my partner so many times to go to a therapist before and it always ends up not happening and im just tired. They have adhd but I just feel walked over and taken advantage of. They even admitted when I found out they cheated on me that they “didn’t know how much they needed me”. I just don’t even feel the same way about them. My last relationship was toxic and abusive and even this relationship had its red flags at the start but I was hoping it would be different.
I just need some love and support rn. I literally have nobody to talk to and my family was never there for me 💔 I’ve never felt so low in my life and I’ve been through a lot already I just genuinely don’t want to be homeless (I already almost was several times as a teen). I’m doing what I can to save as much as I can rn. And please be gentle in the comments…

So I am driving home from work tonight. It’s 12 am, windows are down just enjoying the breeze. Hear the loud whizz of a motorcycle fast approaching. I look to my right just in time to see a fucking sight for sore eyes. It’s this girl with a blacked out helmet, booty shorts and a tight t-shirt passing me. My sexist little brain thinks, oh she has to be with a guy, so what do I do? Well of course I speed up. 90 mph on the highway watching this girl zoom down an almost empty highway. Catching up with her I see it is truly only her, and what does she do, fucking speed up again. There she is dipping side to side with her bike around the curvy highway. Perhaps y’all may not care, but this will forever be the most attractive thing I’ve ever seen.

I need a flag at least 4x6 or larger and I don't wanna use Amazon. I'm making a Trans flag shirt but I don't know anywhere to get the fabric either. So I'm gonna use a flag instead. I can't find any larger than 3x5 that aren't rainbow capitalism in its worst. Any advice?
(Needs to be able to ship to america)

S2 E5 Lullaby

1. Title hints at more dreaming, sleeping; reminds us of the music box connected to Boyd
   
2. Monsters harass Randall in the bus; they leave knowing they can’t entice him to open the door
   
3. Jade gets drunk and sees the man in the Polaroid for the first time; he opens up book of symbols, blood oozes out of symbols (this symbolizes death) and Jade spirals.
   
4. Tabitha and Jim go to church to confront Sara; Boyd does his best to defend Sara by naming all the unlikely events that happened (constructing the tower, bus load of people arriving having little resources for them and a house fell for “no god damn reason”) for her to stay out of the Box
   
5. Tabitha threatens Sara she’ll kill her. Tabitha and Jim seem to lose Boyd’s respect and trust
   
6. Ethan hides in his room learning Sara is back; Jim mentions the Cromenockle, “when she’s afraid to go inside the cave.” Ethan finally comes out asking to see Sara
   
7. Inside peek into Kristi and Marielle’s relationship; shows Kristi her old shirt, Kristi admits she’s changed bc of the place
   
8. Sara attempts to visit her old place she shared with her brother Nathan, wants to keep his jacket and wants to find ornament (their reminder of normal), but is kicked out abruptly by new the “tenants”
   
9. Jade constructs symbol using empty glass bottles (Easter egg—see! more bottles!), Victor shows up at the bar; they strike up an agreement
   
10. Tabitha is upset about Ethan wanting to see Sara. Jim: “After Thomas… Because ALL the doctors said that we should let him lead sometimes, they also said that we have to let him work through things in his own way and to be there to support him when he asks.” This may imply Ethan was suffering severely after losing his baby brother. Further indicating his trauma and major change.*
    
11. Ethan tells his mom, “when you’re on a quest, we have to face the scary things. That’s how you take their power away.” *Call back to Randall on the bus. Possible clue to defeating “Them.” Inspiring Tabitha to manage her own fear with the sick kids.
    
12. Donna and Boyd talk; she reminds Boyd “he was supposed to come back with answers, not psycho Sara;” Boyd argues that Sara knows things. Donna: “Voices or no voices, do you see a yellow brick fuckin road leading us home?” Potential clue suggesting there are in fact 2 opposing forces, just like the wizard and witch of Oz. The wizard could represent “Them” since he hid behind a disguise in OZ just like the BIW.
    
13. Donna calls out Boyd about Abby, that he’s projecting onto Sara since he wasn’t there for his wife
    
14. Boyd saving Sara creates a huge rift amongst the town, starts to lose credibility and trust with practically everyone
    

I started going to the gym 1.5 months ago (PPL) and I started bulking little over 1 month ago. I ate 2800kcal everyday and at least 145g of protein. I have 16~17% BF now.
I saw some progress, my shoulders and chest are much more defined and t-shirts fit me better now. (Mind you this is the first time I ever did any kind of physical activity/sport in my life).
The down side is that I feel like I am gaining a ton of fat on my face, belly and hips. My overall goal is to be lean-shredded = nice proportions, low body fat, abs. Something like this.
Now that summer is here I feel like I just want to loose all that excess fat I have and just be skinny but more defined. On the other hand I don't want to throw away all the progress I had until now and go back to how I was before starting..
How should I proceed?

Dear onebag,
I'm still pretty new to onebagging so pardon me if I sound like an idiot. I plan on going to New York, Washington DC for a week and a half and I think I am finally ready to sink a little money into this hobby. However, I need to also be able to use it for my commute to college in New Orleans and occasionally to the office for my remote job. Now anyone that has been to New Orleans knows why it needs to be water resistant (and if you don't it's because it can go from clear skies to pouring rain with little to no warning). Since I am still pretty new to this I am also gonna leave my packing list if ya'll would like to critique my setup.
Here is what I plan on bringing:
Clothes:

• 3 T shirts
• 1 button down shirt
• 2 khaki shorts
• 1 pair black jeans
• 2 pair of Smartwool hiking socks
• 3 pair underwear
• College hoodie
• Sperry Bahama II Sneakers (Salt Washed Grey/Navy)

Electronics:

• 15.6" work laptop and 140W USB-C Power supply
• Anker power core 10000 Redux
• Anker Nano 3 and Usb-C Cable
• Galaxy buds 2 pro
• Galaxy watch 5
• Samsung 2 in 1 wireless charger
• AKG K371

Toiletries:

• Soap (usually stolen from hotels) but if not Dove Men +Care bodywash and Shampoo
• Toothpaste
• Folding toothbrush
• Small comb

Have a great day, u/logikill99

This is the fourth in a four-part story.
---------------
He started looking for depressions in the sand, large areas where the land would dip from roofs, windows, or doorways. He grabbed at different dips in the ground, but each handful felt as dense as anywhere else. He slid a few times down a sand dune, which helped him get closer to reaching his goal, but his efforts led to several dead ends. He knew he was getting closer though. He kept locating other objects – small hand mirrors, combs, baby bottles, men’s sneakers, collared shirts, broken couch legs. Everything indicated that there was plenty of foot traffic. He continued descending down different paths until he could feel the hot pavement underneath, the end of a descent that felt like the lowest level of an inferno. At that bottom level, he began to dig through walls of sand around him, careful not to trap himself too deep. Unfortunately, that proved difficult as winds would engulf his position and flood his mouth and clothes with more and more particles. He felt the weight of earth around him, so he needed to act quickly to find something to save his life.
This can’t be the end.
What are we going to do?
How will I get out? How will we get out?
As he made one last effort, his left hand scraped against something small and rectangular with different edges jutting from it. He grabbed onto it and pulled, but it was stuck in sand and string. He thrusted his right hand to help, and he could feel the entanglement, knots of string tied to different points on this object. He fiddled with the strings, but pulling the strings caused more sand to fall around him, which started to fill his shoes and pile around his ankles. He was not going to give up.
Yes, I got one of the strings off. The sand collected up to his knees.
I just need to tug on it a little harder. More sand fell, now piled halfway up his thighs.
I’ve almost got it.
Sand accumulated at his waist, filling his pockets, and holding half of his body in place. He ignored it. He had a feeling that whatever he was grabbing was to bring his salvation. He pulled harder and harder, and his fingers fiddled more and more until the object was finally free.
Finally!
It was a walkie talkie used by security guards, with one percent of its battery power. He did not have a lot of time. He pulled his arms to the height of his shoulders; the sand having absorbed most of his body with more winds pressing down from above. He twisted knobs trying to find a channel that still worked. The feeds were full of static, but he kept trying different combinations until he could hear anything. He kept lifting the radio higher as more sand shifted onto him, and he began to understand that he might not survive. Finally, as the sand piled around him, burying most of his body, he found one working channel. His success was moot. His mouth and nose were covered with no chance to escape. All that remained was to hear the last message, cold and robotic, before his breathing ceased and everything went dark.
“Hello. We’re contacting you about your car’s service warranty…”

My PA has been working on recovery and it’s been a rocky start. He got rid of all the triggering apps and deleted all his social media profiles. I make sure to monitor everything now as well.
Something clicked today and I can’t quite prove it yet but I can tell somethings up even with all the stuff we have in place.
I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions of what I might have missed or weird things to look for that I just might be oblivious to?
He keeps saying he’s staying up watching his favorite show in the evenings at work but his watch history on the app he logs into doesn’t show any progress for that show. It’s been the same episode and season for the last week. We share the service so I can see his profile and watch history whenever I login. He doesn’t know this yet, and I don’t plan on sharing anything. I sort of want to see where it goes.
One of his tells is when he talks a lot about something or shares lots of detail I know he’s lying. He knows I don’t watch the show or care to but he started rattling off today about the season finale. I think he needed to make sure I knew he was actually watching it. Thing is, I will sit through the work of verifying that shit down to the color of the shirt he might have described. He doesn’t even think that far so he just kept talking. Anyway, I watched the finale for myself. None of the shit he spent that rant explaining happened in that episode . It all happened in the episodes prior to and in the one his profile says he last watched. Which is halfway through the entire season.
I’ve pieced that part together now, but I can’t figure out what he’s doing during that time frame that isn’t actually watching the show. His screentime isn’t showing anything in the timeframe so I’m assuming it’s incognito but I need solid proof before he will admit to pretty much anything and work on it.
Another aha moment today was that I realized his work backpack was missing the towel he took for showers on the road(he’s a truck driver). It’s been missing for a bit, but I sort of let that slip under the radar I guess. He always had it just in case he was expected to have an extended trip and needed to wash up at the truck stop. I called him out for using socks to ejaculate into at work and I told him I never wanted to find that shit again. I’m thinking since I haven’t seen a sock in a long time, it’s got to be the towel now and he’s just been lying.
I will causally bring up the towel at some point and ask him to bring it home to launder. When it either doesn’t or he rushes to wash it before me I will know the answer to the MO at the very least. I just need to find out what the porn is.
Any clues or guesses?
I am in investigative mode to collect information for accountability right now. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

I’ve never been to a pride parade but I always wanted to go to one but now I have the option to but I’m not sure what to wear :”) I usually dress really modestly where I usually am covering most of my body but I know pride is going to probably be hot so I’m willing to have some shorts as well as short sleeved t-shirt length (I don’t feel that confident with my body right now :( ) I’d love any advice for how to dress for pride or just any etiquette I might need to know about

I found the Frankie vest shirt thing from spirit of Halloween and I’m considering buying it however I wanna know if the sizing is correct or if I should find one a size up or size down
For starters I’m xl and have a bit of a tum and I don’t want to have that tum showing (I just don’t like having my tum show you know)
Anyways, thanks for reading/helping

So I started at a new restaurant and I’m annoyed. We have a dress code: the main things I’ll be focusing on here are the button up shirt & black socks.
My manager is really anal about everything, even gets on me for clocking in 3 minutes late. He’s particular about not parking in the back of the building &, obv, the dress code. He even accuses me is stuff I didn’t do, like only focusing on my tables when he’s not even there when I run peoples food, or cops an attitude when I’m standing of the other Side of the kitchen waiting for (anyones) food to be ran. (He says “what do you want? Why are it staring?” Etc in an annoyed voice.)
My pants are high enough so you can slightly see my socks. One day I wore pink, was told I couldn’t do that. Fair. I didn’t do it again. I started wearing black ones. For the next week, we didn’t work together but I always wore black socks. I don’t have a washedryer at home, so one day I ended up wearing gray cause that’s all I could find. He pulled me into his office & basically threatened to write me up because I wore grey socks instead of black. GREY. The most non-attention catching color ever that even matches out shirt. I can’t justify anyone caring about grey socks that much.
I think it’s extra funny because my first two weeks of working there, the shirt I got didn’t even fit well. The body was fine, but I’m a busty girl. The front of my shirt was literally busting open!! Like I SAW people looking cause it was that obvious!! Yet, I had to ask Again and again and again for them to even look into getting me a new shirt. Ig I should be glad that they ignored my chest enough that they didn’t notice them superman-ing the freakin buttons. It’s also funny cause apparently the style and color of jeans don’t matter. Yet the socks do?? Wtf.
I don’t know, I just needed to vent. I’m annoyed but I’m trying not to leave a place as soon as management gets on my nerves lol.

Female. I am dressing business casual.
*What type of shirt, pants, and shoes should I buy for this?
I have zero fashion sense and wear sweatpants and t shirts 24/7 365. I want to look professional and have the shirt shoes and pants be cohesive.

• thanks!
