Yo, if any y'all want a nicely done, mostly wholesome TV show to get into, I highly recommend "Shrinking".
Interesting characters, good story lines. Besides, who doesn't love Harrison Ford?
Catch it at your local Arrrrrrrr source.

Life so boring :/
But okay wanna hear me gossip?
So I'm Chinese American.
So my older brother just got a visa to China valid for 10 years, 90 days per visit for "visiting relatives" but he plans to meet some girl in China and get married and then bring her to the US and like start a family or something... And he already some girl's WeChat and started chatting... (or something like that not sure)
Dude is so socially awkward my mom has to, via some "friend of friend" network or something, arranged for their introduction to each other... I mean for context my parents are also in an arranged marriage... so this is just echoing the past really...
He went to college for 4 years in the US and didn't get together with any girls... (I mean I'm not judging lol, I was too depressed to even go to college) so yeah there's that
Here's the thing tho, he was so abusive as a brother to me (he's 5 years older than me and already caused me so much trauma), I can't imagine this dude being a father... probably gonna be abusive to his children... RIP.
My family didn't even tell me about it... they just talk so loud in the livingroom I overheard everything lmfao.
So yeah..
/end of gossip
Wow, wtf
Move out as soon as you can afford bud and never look back
Eh... he'll have to move out soon when he gets married...
Rest of your family doesn't sound like the greatest either man, maybe I'm wrong cause i don't have enough info
Obviously I can't make an accurate inference since I don't know you or your family, but I'd hope that over the years your brother has matured, or at least through a real relationship that he would mature. Not the girls job to do it of course, but maybe meaningfully connecting with someone would be enough for him to gain some self reflection to better himself? A hope than certainty of course.
I'm Chinese-Canadian so to some extent, I have some kind of insight. Definitely haven't been the best to my own brother and have suffered my own abuses from my parents. But I think self reflection and my own growth in my 20s, both from living on my own while in uni and living on my own, as well as having been in a long term relationship during that time, I was able to improve. Not perfect and still a product of my past, but hoping your brother is able to be better if he does have kids and a family. Not inflict generational trauma. Or at least, I hope things work out for you.
I woke up this morning. again. so. I just want to do what I always want to do and curl into a ball with a blanket over my head. Im addicted to this whole food and shelter thing though so I guess I will push through the molasses and send out resumes.
Yea, job hunting is a bitch (as someone who's aldo doing it)
I mean Im used to serial unemployment and have had to be searching at least like half a dozen times in my life. Some of those quite long with temping and such during it. This is patently the worst I have ever experienced.
Job market really sucks everywhere eh
I mean im pretty sure across the us but not sure further out.
Yea, I aint from the us and shit sucks
sorry man. sorta sucks as I had a fantasy that maybe it was better out there.
Bleak world isn't it ?
Im kinda old and its all very surreal to me. I did well in school and went into stem and dreamed of doing research. I think I envisioned a star trek kind of future where researching was what many people did and automation and such would make us a more egalitarian society. I spent my youth seeing the next millenium around the corner and thinking it would be the start of a true human eutopia. Then the millenium actually came and things just got worse and worse and worse.
I don't think achieving agi and automation is gonna end well for us plebs sadly, maybe im too pessimistic but they need us cause we are their worker ants, what happens when they don't ?
and computer chips are expensive while flesh is virtually free.
Well if they can automate everything including resource sourcing and supply chain, the billionaire class won't need us .
Even with fleshlights blowjobs still sell so take heart. You will never go hungry as long as you are good with 25 calories at a time. So like only need to do like 50 a day. Maybe a 100. Or like 37 in a row (that is from the movie clerks)
😂😂
