blue check missing an obvious joke? shocked-pikachu

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 95 points 4 months ago

I'm mostly just laughing at the notion of "being obligated by the government to show up on time to dinner" as some death knell to American freedom to leave other people waiting.

Social credit score jokes leaked back into Chinese society so they use it ironically now.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 52 points 4 months ago

Yep. It's like when you guys joke about being paid Soros Bucks for posting, when really, it's just me getting paid in Juche Credit Score by Glorious Leader Kim.

Every restaurant in China has a CCP commissar standing next to the host, if you're late they make sure to personally inform Xi, and if the host doesn't have a table ready for you they're summarily executed and the most senior waiter becomes the host

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

You left out the part about how they're executed. President Xi sends them to Glorious Leader Kim, who makes them stand on the train tracks to wait for when all the slaves pull the train over them because they haven't invented coal yet.

He's a stupendous dipshit.

A sampling - he has a section called "Easy wins: tourism, tax haven, and natural gas".

oh duh, just become a playground for the capitalist class! I can't believe that Palestinians are so obsessed with "national sovereignty" and "the right of return" and "food" that they never thought of that one!

Based, people should go to jail for being late to social events with no notifications (this is only 80% sarcastic).

Your basically calling for the mass imprisonment of people with ADHD here

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

Fair point, didn't intend any ableism but it definitely is. Think I should take it down? Mostly just venting about (NT) friends not showing up to a planned social event because eg they "forgot what day it was on" when I sent a reminder the day before saying all of "tomorrow" "wednesday" and "april 17th".

Not enough friends to have that option sadly.

China has Schrodinger's communism, it exists in a state of both being capitalist and communist at the same time. For reasons unknown to science, within restaurants the uncertainty levels tilt ever so slightly towards capitalism in China.

Either he’s lying or an actual dumbass who can’t see an obvious joke.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago

Social media was a terrible idea

[-] micnd90@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

People who are late because of their own incompetence (instead of outside factors) should have their social credit score dinged

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

I am ravaged with ADHD and I promise that all of my credit scores have been dinged accordingly

[-] Des@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
