I’ve always liked the cheaper Chinese phones and products, and I honestly don’t understand what people are stressing about.

I, personally, am not a huge power or some threat or anything important to be honest.

My government might care about what I get up to but I really doubt my data is of much use to China at all.

Every government is watching and tracking. But I highly doubt some random girl in Europe is a priority for China.

    It would be nice if there was more of this stuff for horrors or thrillers.

    Like when a bad guy is caught or killed at the end, I’d like to see the reactions of everyone else. Or even the good guys or whatever.

    Like how the families or the world at a whole moved on from the events. If anyone got arrested.

    Like with Obsession, what happened to the girl at the end?? Did she end up in prison for everyone’s death?

    Or I recently watched one called The Watcher. What happened with the main girl? There’s gotta be some trauma there, she couldn’t have just gone to normal life. What happened with her husband that never believed her?

    I’ve always felt like as long as you’re in English speaking places in the web, you’ll get mostly Americans anyway as they have the largest English speaking population.

    Like when I see family members or friends with a different native language online, they are always usually following people and pages in their own language.

    Nobody defaults to Americanism in Arabic spaces for example.

    So there will always be a majority of Americans on English language websites, and that’s why it always be American centric.

    I found a book in the library around 2007ish?

    The cover looked like a weird toilet I thought at the time, I didn't understand it. It was about the life of a guy who grew up gay in some Southeast Asian country, maybe Vietnam? And how terrible it was and the last chapter was him immigrating somewhere west and living with a lover.

    I was a very sheltered 16 year old so it had an impact, even though I wasn't a boy or gay. Just a sad part of life.

    Never found it again. Googled books with toilet covers or a gay kid from Asia, but it's not really specific I guess.
