new uncanny valley rule

First, GenZ haven't been "kids" for quite some time now, granpa lol. Its Gen Alpha, and even then they're getting older as well.

Second, GenZ and subsequent ones are completely disassosiated from the commercial world. A huge chunk of them don't like "commercial perfect", pre-baked vibes. That shows with everything: the garbagy/shitposty anti-mainstream meme culture, the "ugly" haircuts, minimally branded clothing (only area where this doesn't apply much is in music, since its kinda the other way around with how "mainstreamy" most music has become).

They try hard to stop people from the groups they know don't support them, because that makes the cost of fraud more, as the competition will have an easier time doing it themselves.

China tells its minorities to integrate or face consequences with sweeping new law

Reply in thread

Yeah, pretty normal law:

Here's an English summary of this document — the Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, adopted March 12, 2026 by the National People's Congress, effective July 1, 2026.

Purpose & framing The law aims to strengthen a shared sense of Chinese national/ethnic community identity, promote unity among China's ethnic groups, and support the "great rejuvenation" of the Chinese nation. It affirms equality of all citizens and ethnic groups before the law and bans discrimination or oppression of any ethnic group, while emphasizing Communist Party leadership over ethnic affairs work.

Structure (7 chapters, 65 articles):

  1. General Provisions – Legal basis, guiding ideology (Marxism-Leninism through Xi Jinping Thought), core principle of "forging a strong sense of Chinese national community," and rejection of foreign interference in China's ethnic affairs.

  2. Building a Shared Spiritual Home – Promotes patriotic/socialist education, shared cultural symbols, protection of heritage sites, and nationwide promotion of Standard Mandarin Chinese as the primary language in schools and government (while still protecting minority languages). Includes provisions on education curricula, media/propaganda work, family education, and outreach to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities.

  3. Promoting Interaction and Integration – Encourages mixed-ethnic communities, cross-regional migration/employment/education exchanges, youth exchange programs, tourism, and regulation of online content — banning material that incites ethnic hatred or discrimination.

  4. Advancing Shared Prosperity – Focuses on economic development in ethnic minority regions: infrastructure, industry, poverty alleviation, border-area development, public services, and ecological protection.

  5. Safeguards and Oversight – Assigns responsibilities to government bodies, party organizations, businesses, religious groups, military, and grassroots organizations. Establishes a "Ethnic Unity Progress Publicity Week" (last week of September) and mechanisms for public complaints and prosecutorial public-interest lawsuits.

  6. Legal Liability – Penalties for officials or organizations that fail to prevent ethnic-unity violations, discrimination (e.g., employment discrimination based on ethnicity), or online violations. Serious violations (terrorism, separatism, religious extremism) are treated as criminal offenses, including for actions by foreign entities targeting China.

  7. Supplementary Provisions – Allows provincial/local governments to enact supporting local regulations; law takes effect July 1, 2026

CNN propaganda bs confirmed... From a country with 80% black jail population, legal slavery of them, and currently hunting brown people and disappearing their kids at that....

Dating has gotten so expensive that nearly half of U.S. singles say it’s no longer worth it, as the average night out approaches $200

Fr, 200$?? like WTF?? For 200$ you can just find yourself a good expensive hooker and you save yourself the time and effor LOL But to be real, just maybe, dont go out with random golddiggers and basic girls. Personally, if its not a 50/50 or each one pays their stuff; its a red flag. And you can easily spot if its gonna be that or not from the tinder profile pic lol
