Indeed. It's remarkably safe here. According to some people another hallmark of freedom is the freedom to be robbed.

I suspect this account is a sock puppet. Brand new account made of greek letters that immediately wades into a debate about socialism.

Langley ain't sending their best.

Hmm yes, cheap food, and a vibrant night life. Coupled with 90% home ownership. All hallmarks of an oppressed working class.

I'm sure they're dying to pay £4.50 for a shitty ham sandwich and forking over half their wages every month to a landlord.

I'm currently in 兴义市。What does your Chinese wife have to say about China? My experience is that Chinese expats who have criticisms of China tend to be from rather wealthy families who have issues with the regulations in China. They move to the west because it's a lot easier to exploit the working class, both in their adopted country, and in the global South.

I find that their sob stories about lack of freedom revolve around their lack of freedom to do whatever the hell they want. My girlfriend's brother fits into this category. A millionaire crypto bro who thinks China is an authoritarian hellhole because it puts limits on his outrageous and unproductive speculation and ambitions to be a landlord. That's ok though, because he's able to exploit as many Western workers as he likes, stealing their labour value and "providing" them housing by buying it all up and selling it back to them at outrageously inflated prices. What freedom.

I'm literally a westerner in China and all I can tell you is you have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

It's staggering how propagandised westerners are. That you can look at the history you yourself have lived through and proclaim yourself as free is proof of that.

It truly is sad.

I have a similar experience with my dad. However whilst I did nothing, my sister moved heaven and earth to save him. The result was that my dad suffered a very long time, and eventually ended up locked in, unable to communicate, before we eventually pulled the plug. Being locked in was his worst fear. The last conscious communication my dad had with me was him staring into my eyes and shaking his head, unable to speak because of all the pipes down his throat, in his lungs and his stomach. Bags of piss and blood hooked up to his bladder. He wanted to die and we wouldn't let him.

Do not beat yourself up over this. Regret is a terrible thing.

Please don't blame yourself buddy.

As a side note, my dad also got me into star trek.

Awesome. Thanks for the info

That's fine and a very valid reason. Thank you for letting me know. Does your recommendation support swipe typing?

What's the deal with gboard? To be honest I've never used anything other than the default that comes with the phone.
