Anti-anti-productivity

[sarsi]

Don't be shy. Ppl should just ask me directly next time every time if they don't understand what I'm posting abt or keep calm and move on. I am extremely allergic to a farce of an argument so if ppl are getting irritated by something they supposedly don't understand, then they probably do understand what my post is abt. At least the important parts of it so this not understanding faux excuse isn't gonna fly by me.

Speaking of passive aggression, time for a repost.

Just to clarify, I understand your urgency to give some feedback. We will make sure we keep it in mind.

Could go on but I have run out of passiveness.

Will leave it to you two do sort out and circle back to to each other and if needed put each other on ignore so we don’t have to deal with the aggression.

:O

Nobody should have to take it easy on my thread.. There is nothing wrong with the slacker standards I've set here.. the forum isn't mine of course and I have no moderator functions but apart from that, I think I can claim this as my thread to all other aspects and not just as OP.. and this is already such a slacker of a thread for any employed members that to take it any easier.. they will need to leave the office.

Not without air-conditioning!

China was the 20th Century Kingdom of Bicycles. Will UAE be the 21st Century "Kingdom of Bicycles"?

If it goes through, it would likely be the biggest single investment in non-mechanically propelled transport and something of value to all members of society.

You have to lower your volume all the way down before you attempt to click play. This is way louder than you can predict.

The first time I watched this I had no idea he was just shouting to himself. Is this what bipolar is? I have no personal experience with this and don't know anyone suffering from it. I just got woken up by my unidentified neighbour ruckus whom I suspect is either this or outright abusive rage who will be killing his wife or something soon..

I am also reluctant to call police after Peng Chau cuz I suspect either way, someone will be dying regardless if they gonna pull a gun so easily..

Suddenly occurred to me.. there was a vaguely similar discussion like this before. About the bread mould of a govt time waster Junius Ho during rugby anthem incident.

Expertism is free for all covid snafu survivors so my expert opinion has always been that China censorship and use of NSL to my knowledge has never been about intellectual debates and discussions (minus locals in China on a Chinese forum). Now I sound like I'm defending them but they've never adopted such a narrow and petty usage of it. What I've been saying is nobody should feel pressured into discussing it if they're not comfortable but I don't see why not ok for others who are comfortable doing so to go ahead and discuss..

I hope ppl are not misunderstanding what I'm saying to mean anyone (or even worse implying that it is hk locals) too much of a scaredy cat to test the limits then so be it, let the ones who dare go ahead..

@East_coast

worth asking for curiosity.. when you say speak openly, what category of statements were you thinking of?

This is what I mean by everyone is a expert in their own right because they are only comfortable operating within comforts of their own limit - which is the only way it should be. I would never but I don't know if others might already be feeling too hairy to reply. That's not because I think I'm willing to risk it more, hell no. It's just if no one actually mentioned NSL or to keep it down "in case", I would be discussing freely this nsl trial like I'm abt the tickets giveaway. Worrying abt getting raided is the last thing on my mind because I have never known China or HK to apply it like this. And by that I mean nobody here is actually discussing with any other purpose, it is for intellectual debate and mental sparring. To my knowledge, authorities have never clamped down on this before..

Yes in theory they can do because they are a fascist state but the chinese psyche to me is nothing but unchanging and predictable to a T. Actually that is their damn problem, can't seem to change. So there is really a bigger divide here than anyone cares to admit. For those like me very comfortable in their understanding of NSL to discuss and debate at their own risk, this is not looked upon favorably at all not for site safety but I think because they think it just makes them look bad in some way.
