Yes please, I’m begging

Why the defeatist attitude?

It is all as intended. They didn’t stumble into this.

Take a gander

Looks like the “western companies” found a warmongering president to take it back for them.

I think there’s a specific transition period that adults that didn’t have good habits go through. And it takes time for them to learn how to take care of their adult mind and body.

The unhealthy habits (drinking, eating badly, not sleeping enough, being stationary etc.) are not as easily recoverable anymore, but people are still pushing themselves thinking they have the same vitality. Then it leads to the “everything sucks now” mentality. Give people some time to figure it out.

Like the transition period between summer and fall, everyone’s a bit confused for a bit on what to wear to keep themselves warm.

Believe it or not, there are plans to “overhaul” the Hukou system.

Recently I think they make it so couples can register their marriage in any jurisdiction. And not have to go to one of the couple’s birth town.

I couldn’t fully understand whether or not their children’s Hukou will now be in the location of their marriage registration. But it’s a good step forward and they saw a brief spike in marriage registration overall.

It’s so weird that they’ve been so stubborn about it for so long, even as their cities expand to accommodate migrants and the population growth is slowed.

Have a basket of towelettes around. Good for dabbing last drops and seat wipes.

You have an end point that’s pretty close, and that’s great! If you know that your load will lighten up after, keep at it.

Rely on your partner and friends for connection and help you through it. Be frank about your feelings. The people who turn to alcohol and adultery because of stress are the people that have been unfortunately told to keep it in and shoulder everything on their own, or unfortunately don’t have support. Find support and healthy outlets rather than turning to destructive substances or actions that are hard to take back.

Keep track of what’s important to you in the long run in the end.

You can do it!

Is the extra hours needed because of living expenses? Or extra hours of push and experience for your career progression

I think it’s part of the effort to curb the population decrease. It’s not in the culture to pearl clutch about LGBTQ+ people as morally wrong like western cultures.

They are trying anything to influence people to make babies. Stricter pornography rules, shaming women for not making babies, shaming “feminine men”, and that includes banning dating apps that helps indulge in activities that don’t help with making babies. Making queer people less visible is unfortunately part of the strategy.

Though queer media is however not as banned as people think, so far at least.

I legitimately think he got high on his own supply with X. People and bots feeding his narcissism, and right wing misinformation and disinformation galore created who he is today.

And now he’s huffing his own AI sex bot. It all tracks.

In Canada you can get up to 16 months maternity leave. But the vacation is not as generous. I’m sitting at 3 weeks a year.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Do you have the article or the name of the woman? I am curious to read it.

Nope haha, just their Facebook app on their mobile phones is needed to grab all the data. And once logged in, Facebook will actually track the user’s phone usage and their Internet usage as data without the user knowing. To add to their pile to analyze the user.

This also includes Instagram and Whatsapp. Meta’s other products.

Not participating in any of their products so your data is not their raw resource is good, keep it that way.

Evidently they are still pulling enough users and click through rates to warrant their reputation in advertising. Whether or not some numbers are propped up by bots, who’s to know.

Imagine billions of people depending on their platforms, and most of them will be accessing it through their official mobile apps which generally will be harder to block ads on, and most people will not seek out those methods. It’s the reason they push their official app so much. For some it is a lower priority for them, and some may even enjoy targeted advertising.

There are platforms like YouTube where you can pay to opt out of seeing ads, which is also another revenue stream.

They are paid by advertisers that want to sell you things and ideas. Google and Meta’s job is to keep you on their platform as long as possible so you can be served more advertisements. And to keep you dependent on their free platform to gather more data about what you like and your behavior patterns to easily influence and predict what advertisements grab your interest.

And because they have the data on you to know exactly who you are and what you may like, it’s valuable for advertisers because they know their cat litter advertisement is going to be shown to someone who very obviously has a cat through all their activities and interactions on the platform.
