I think you have excellent points

Kit Klarenberg is really fucking cool. And so is Kevin Walmsley. I've actually emailed Walmsley, and he is a very good guy.

That's cool AF. Is there any noticable lag? And is it good for streaming/torrenting,as well?

A No Planes theory? I'm intrigued.

Then let's make it exciting! Lol.

Yeah, space is fucking majestic, horrifying, awe-inducing, scary, and gorgeous.

This is perfect, thank you!

I was leaning towards SurfShark earlier, but I'm looking at these now.

I'm incredibly jealous of Ben Norton.

Not that he owes me or anyone anything, but I emailed him once and introduced myself as a fellow comrade, and while he had no reason to trust me, and I wasn't expecting him to offer any assistance or very many tips for my family and I to get to China, I was hoping he could point me in the right direction, and I was fucking crushed when he basically told me off.

I really wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but I didn't want to burn that bridge.

And he didn't even have an ounce of courtesy or anything.

I think he's a douchebag now.

I love his content, but as a person, my opinion of him really fucking soured, and it hurt and pissed me off because he was a personal hero of mine, even though I don't like to idolize people.

It's true: Never meet or interact with your heroes.

I'm aware that life is likely going to suck everywhere, and that China isn't immune to climate change. I appreciate your thoughtful answer.

The crux of my question though, is in your opinion, do you think that Chengdu will be a comparatively "safe" zone, at least for a while, due to the natural geography, shit-ton of nearby agriculture, very fertile soil, more temperate climate?

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

That seems to be the consensus.

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 8 hours ago

I'm trying to plan something.

I appreciate the help, but I don't have anything concrete yet. I do have a plan though.

Ever since Ben Norton was let go, the Grayzone alternates between incredibly insightful news into the inner workings and oppression of global Amerikkkan fascist imperialism, and reich-wing nonsense.

I don't particularly care about the cost or the hoops I have to jump through, I primarily want the best and most effective VPN's.

I'm also a heavy gamer, so the ones that are most excellent and allow for the least minimal delay when playing online multiplayer/live-service games, would be what I'm looking for.

And while this last one is optional, I would prefer if the recommend VPN's are also usable in the U.S., so I could set them up before I move to Chengdu.

I'm aware I could likely change VPN's, but that could be a headache or a hassle, so I'd rather stick with one. Unless I would have to compromise on quality/ VPN effectiveness.

Also, the more cost efficient for the value, the better. But I primarily care about quality rather than cost effectiveness.

And they took it slightly better than I thought they would!

I was born and raised Catholic, and so were my grandparents. Due to multiple reasons, such as having a cocktail of mental disorders or conditions, I live with them.

My grandparents are from a different era, and they used to be vehemently homophobic. But they've told me that across the previous decades and numerous social movements, their views have softened and changed.

My grandfather is agnostic and my grandma is a moderate Catholic, but because of my knowledge, love, care and my passion, I have actually converted both of my grandparents into being hardcorre communist sympathizers. My grandpa loves Fidel Castro, Stalin, and even got a Che Guevara shirt because of me.

They were stunned today when I came out. While people often say they will love and understand no matter what, its different when its your own family, and actions speak louder than words.

My grandfather was in tears, but not because of me being bisexual. He was in tears because I had been "hiding" or not talking about it for so long, and that I was never upfront about it, and he feels fucking ashamed and guilty that I was ever afraid of telling him and that I shouldn't keep shit to myself.

I feel like I climbed fucking Mt. Everest. Imagine telling your Southern and Texan former Latino gangster grandfather that's covered in tattoos and with a criminal record and a dark past and previous intense homophobia that you're bisexual.

Or your German immigrant grandmother that was abused and forced to become a perfect Catholic, now feels thankful and non-judgmental, and how it feels to feel safe around your family.

They both have lots of questions, but they don't want to pry and they don't know where to start, and they know I'll tell them more when I feel like it.

I'm still fucking reeling, but I think I'll be able to sleep moderately better tonight.

I'm so happy and fucking tired.

 

For roughly 10 goddamn months now, I've been reading constant articles, reddit posts, tweets, and seeing news segments throwing hissy fits and slandering Russia's anti-imperialist liberation war against Ukranazi Imperialism.

I'm fucking pissed off and sickened by the amount of hackneyed overdramatic sympathy that Ukraine gets, the amount of jokes about neckbeard redditors wishing Zelenskyy would plow their wives, about how poor Ukraine just needs another few hundred billion dollars to destroy big bad Putin, about how the Russian army are monsterous rapists, and how NATO is a defensive organization, and how Putin is a dictator for setting up schools and hospitals in liberated areas in Ukraine.

It brings my piss to a boil. I'm just trying to read actual news, have my coffee, play Destiny 2 and Gotham Knights, but nooo.

It genuinely seems like 70-80 percent of Amerikkkans are window-licking tools that believe everything they read.

I swear to fucking Christ, I can't look at anything even remotely resembling the color combination of gold, yellow and blue without wanting to punch a rhinoceros.

(Of course I'd never hit or take my anger out on an animal or innocent person, I'm expressing my anger in a humorous way)

But I guess I'm an "evile tankie Putin bootlicker" for wanting the Ukranazis to get what they deserve.

Some cracker piece of shit flew into a mayo rage at me a few weeks ago because I dared to say that I wouldn't mind Zelenskyy being killed and Ukraine being liberated and Russia returning to socialism if I had to "sacrifice" Putin for it to happen.

 

I was honestly very worried that the gusanos and papists would have prevented the passing of this family code. I doomscrolled on Twitter and saw a surprising number of anti-communist Cubans, CIA cutouts and reich-wing fascist rejects either refusing to vote or admitting to voting no or advocating for regime change, but this warms my heart.

The comments of the video are mouth-breathing capitalist bootlicking pond scum feigning moral outrage as the U.S. sanctions DPRK
