    The one that they obliterated with goddamn missiles? Yeah sure whatever, and it was smuggling tons of illegal drugs and propaganda and also it was torturing puppies and also it was made of cheese. You can say anything about it at this point, it’s all equally provable

    Couldn’t be Comcast. The Chinese couldn’t afford the bill. And the customer service they would have experienced would have forced them to change their communist ways…

    I’m in absolute awe. I didn’t realise they made people this stupid.

  • That thread is filled to the brim with people who have no clue how telecommunications work, it’s hilarious. The mental gymnastics they’re pulling is beyond olympian level - “why was is designed to connect to American internet providers?!!”. - mf doesn’t understand the concept of designated radio bandwidth or pubic access points… Or maybe just paying for an international data service so they can send fucking weather data back home. Imagine the horror on their face if they went to China and they could connect to hotel guest WiFi - “the see see pee pee hacked muh fone!!!”. 🤣🤣🤣

      There were several incidents during the couple of weeks this was happening. The “intelligence” community kept fear mongering about China sending spy balloons and building facilities in Cuba. But the military would immediately say “none of this is accurate. We have no idea where you’re getting these reports.”

    I’ve gotten into a habit of translating Reddit threads like this into Mandarin and showing my Taiwanese friends. Most of them aren’t fans of the PRC and even they find it funny at what Redditors believe while also getting turned off at the barely subtle racism. The women are always disgusted when they bring up their Chinese girlfriends/spouses as some sort of example of how brainwashed or “traumatized” the Chinese are.
