  • Not sure about CalyxOS but Graphene os has users so you could just switch to a different user and show them that and they probably wouldnt know to look for other users. Or you can disable apps, and then enable them again later. Disabling saves all data but hides the app and archives it. So it would only show up in the full app list in the settings not anywhere else. Not sure how thorough their checks are tho.

    Personally tho if i was gonna go through a US border and was worried about my devices being checked id just back it all up to an encrypted external ssd, stick it in my checked bag, and wipe my devices. Then restore them once ur through.


  • “Gramsci shows that one of the main historical concerns of the Catholic Church has been to control the reading and the diffusion of Christianity, blocking the rise and spread of popular, autonomous and base level interpretations and thereby saving the purity of the historic doctrine. […] Many Marxists act the same way. Their biggest worry is the purity of the doctrine. Every time that historical facts challenge the doctrine or show the complexity of the practical operationality of elements of the theory, they deny that these elements are part of the story of Marxist theory and doctrine. This is, for example, what doctrines of betrayal are built on. Every movement that appears to stray a bit from these ‘pure’ models that were created a priori is explained through the concept of betrayal, or is explained as ‘state capitalism.’ Therefore, nothing is socialism and everything is state capitalism. Nothing is socialist transition and everything is state capitalism.” – Jones Manoel, Western Marxism, the fetish for defeat, and Christian culture




  • I live in the USA and its so bad i just cant interact with most people. They are basically entirely vibes based. They dont research anything if they hear a new claim they decide if its true based on if they feel like its true. You can literally show them evidence and most will be like “nah thats bs”. I made a comment on 小红书 recently about how 54% of americans read below a 6th grade level and my replies are FULL of americans saying “uh i can read” … can you really?





  • 哈哈哈哈 这是一个秘密 In all seriousness though yes they know. Deepseek just doesnt allow politics. 小红书 and social media have similar rules. Politics in China is serious not something people need to talk to a hallucinating machine about, or discuss anonymously online. You can see why this is a bad idea if you look at the USA today. Its best to discuss in person and do so calmly and rationally.

    Remember chinese netizens have access to all the same information westerners do online. Many speak english, and a VPN is easy to use to go on other sites.


  • They arent 100% sure on the size but itll be a regional disaster. Few hundred square miles of destruction. And theyll be able to evacuate the area before hand. Itll land somewhere between south america and india theres a line map you can find of the area that could be hit and thatll get narrowed down as time goes on. We will know where its gonna hit far in advance if it does hit.





  • Also a lot of people dont seem to know how to complement someone. Complements are good, but only if you do them right. They are best done small, and casual at first. “Did you get a haircut? I like it.” “That (Article of clothing) looks great on you.” “You’re always so stylish.” Once youve got a few dates under your belt and the mutual interest is clear you can move on to things that are a bit more intimate. “Your eyes are beautiful.” “I love hearing you laugh.” “I always look forward to spending time with you.”

    Notice nowhere in there did i put “Wow your so hot.” or anything like that. Thats boring. Meaningless. Stuff like that is fine if your having sex, and want something to say in the heat of the moment, but if you are trying to win someone over emotionally be more interesting. Just the simple fact you are interested in them makes it obvious you think they are physically attractive. You don’t need to hammer that point home over, and over again. Its fine to complement appearance, but have an angle. Actually notice things about the person.

    Everything is situational. Complements especially, and they have multiple purposes. First of course is to express interest, and to make that person feel good about themselves. Most people understand that. But 2nd is to make it clear you are paying attention. Notice changes. Notice what doesnt change. If you like someone it shouldn’t be hard to do. Do they look a bit tired today? Sure would be nice if you’d been paying attention, and knew what type of coffee they like so you can buy it for them. Its not a hard thing to ask in casual conversation. “I prefer peppermint tea personally, what about you?” Then remember their answer. Then when you know what they like buy it, give it to them, and say “I was getting myself a drink, and figured I’d pick one up for you too.”


  • Do we need either type of sign? I mean this is lemmy we are all adults arent we? If you are interested in someone go up, greet them politely, ask how theyre doing, say “I was wondering if you’d want to grab lunch or something together, and get to know eachother?” after a bit of casual conversation. If they say no drop it. If they are interested even if busy theyll try to find time to do it. Nobody is that busy all the time. Or if they are they cant date anyway.

    If they say yes go to lunch get to know eachother more, if you enjoy it and go out together again bring them a romantic gift of some kind to make sure you didnt miscommunicate about your intentions. Don’t play games, and guess and wonder. Be direct, but polite, and respect their decisions. If you are afraid to get rejected you’ve got 2 options. Get over it, or die alone. Always trying to compute in your head what someone else is thinking is gonna drive you crazy. Just live life.
