They: It’s a highly addictive drug.

Me: SHIT, I forgot again.

Accurate.

Mine sometimes gets pretty bad that I forget and ignore my wife.

If it wasn’t for the fumes, I would. But I have kids now so it’s not a good idea.

Ya, I think I will pick up a multi color enclosed printer eventually.

Thats when I exited 3D printing. Looks like so many new and better printers now.

I had a Ender V1 and a V2 as well. I really want a bamboo, but I saw they are locking things down and making it more difficult on tinkerer. I haven’t been in the 3D printer game since 2020.

I was super into 3D printing and sold and gave away everything. Now I miss it and fighting my urge to buy another printer.

Psssshhhh, that ghost gun, at best will fire 1 bullet. And probably very poorly.

He is using an ender3, which is an entry level printer. It’s not even modded so he likely used PLA.

Dude is a loser and deserves jail for his stupidity.

You, sir, might have ADHD. Because I do the exact same thing.

I don’t even live in the US. I’m just don’t use Chinese propaganda apps.

Try asking how much China parts for SWE right now. Then look up what the 996 culture is in China.

Being the 2nd most riches country doesn’t mean you get paid more for your skills.

China has the lowest GDP relative to the country’s wealth. They simply exploit their people way more than the USA.

The dude is brainwashed by TikTok. As a person who’s family has a factory in china, it’s a terrible place to live.

No they don’t. They only do that if you become too powerful. Nobody can be more than Xi Ping. If you are then you get punished…

There is a literal concentration camp for theUyghurs because of their religion. They are sending jets and navy ships to sovereign nations all over south east Asia. Even building man made island to build bases to do so. There is a social points system that is designed to punish the poor and middle class.

You’re watching too much TikTok bro. China is brainwashing you.

Care to explain?

Errrr, you can’t pay me enough to work in China. Why go from an county starting to go towards authoritarianism to a country that is ALREADY authoritarianism. China is def not the lesser of the two evils.

You have your experience as a local and I have my experience as a tourist and both of us is right in our own view of Japan.

I experience the assholeness of Japanese people towards my young family. Making us feel like a second class citizen for disturbing them with my crying kid. Being turned away from restaurants for having a kid. Not letting me rent a stroller because my kid is 5 days older than the cutoff birthday at Universal studios. From security guards asking me to quiet down my kid because he is having a tantrum.

You’re right, maybe it’s not that they hate kids. Maybe they just hate tourists. Whatever is the case, those places I have visited are not family friendly.

I will say that the people of 琉球 doesn’t act like this.

Perhaps the level of help is not clear. In Asia, it’s culturally acceptable to have grandparents to help watch their kids full time while both parents go to work. In Japan women are required to quit their jobs to take on that role.

Ya, I live in Taipei and it’s only a 1ish hour flight to 琉球. I feel the cultures of both our countries is very similar.

The people of 琉球 are super polite and their love for children is nothing like Tokyo or Osaka. My kids are welcomed.

My experience has been in Tokyo and Osaka. I have a son that cries a lot. I’m not sure how many kids you have. That might be our difference.

My terrible experience started on the plane to Osaka. From Taipei to Osaka on Peach Airlines.

My son was using his tablet that was sitting on the tray which made the Japanese woman in front of us mean mug us and eventually complained to us about the kid tapping his screen.

Then getting off the plane, we rode the train and bus to a station. Every seat designated for kids and elderly was taken up by young adults. My son was tired and started to cry and was melting on the train, directly in front of a girl who was sitting in those seats. Instead of giving up the seat, she put on her headphones and glared at us for annoying her. Sure SHE might be disabled, but it seems like every spot is taken up by disabled people. I never once saw someone get up from their seat to let a young family have their seat.

Then we were at some big train station and there was 4 or 5 elevators. The far left one was designated for elderly and strollers. But each time the elevator opened, it was fun of people. Nobody got out. Just pushed the close button faster. We ended up carrying the stroller up the escalator, which the guard yelled at us for doing.

At restaurants, we were regularly denied entry because we had a kid with us.

As a long term resident, perhaps the problem isn’t that there isn’t these problems. It’s that you don’t see it.

Next time look at who’s carrying the baby while walking on the street. Look at the father and see how empty handed they are.
