Edit: Deleting this post. It's starting to get controversial, but that's OK. Not what I planned on, but whatevers.
It's OPs thing. He just got lazy this time it seems and scrubbed the soft Chinese propaganda title this time.
I wouldn't buy that vehicle just because of the title on this post.
The way I see it, that is basically the same as a twist and tuck.
You put the bread in a bottle and you can just put the cap on it to keep it fresh. You can just pour it into your toaster after that!
That's why we have Roseanne. (A perfectly decent replacement, IMHO.)
It doesn't. (Connect for Lemmy is still a great app though.)
Just curious, was there a recent event that happened that affects more than just you? Just curious, s'all.
So. I have had a decent amount of time to think about this kind of thing and I have just become very aware about what I consider private information. If something is super private, I take the appropriate steps to ensure absolute and super paranoid levels of security.
However, there isn't much that I could be blackmailed for because if there wasn't an absolute expectation of privacy from the start, I just expect most information to be public anyway.
Most "general human things" I still wouldn't care about. Someone has naked pictures of me they want to share? "Uh. Why?" would be my first question. I am not much different and any of the other billions of humans out there, so if you want to see those, knock yourself out. (I just won't go out of my way to make or distribute that stuff.)
You caught me going to a porn site on my free time where I had the expectation of privacy? Sorry, but many people do that and again, I'm just being human, so fuck off.
I think at the end of the day, I have seen (and done) so much stupid shit that it takes a lot to bother me. While my experience probably doesn't help you at this moment, it's fairly important to be aware of your own feelings in cases like this.
In the most kind way possible: If all else fails and you cannot rationalize the current situation, remember that very few people know or even care about you specifically. Sure, you have friends and family! If they are "real" friends, nothing can get in the way of that friendship. Family is family. The rest of the world? Bah. Fuck 'em.
Financial loss is another beast and a pain to deal with. Work with your bank and credit cards companies to resolve what you can, if that is the case.
Regardless, time fixes all so hang in there!

Ok, that is a ton of reading. However, the point of this is to actually define what freedom of speech actually is.
You are free to tell your employer to fuck off and pound sand, but you will get fired. That is a consequence of words. The government won't step in if you weren't threatening anyone. You and your employer have specific rights in that regard.
In the US, you can go on the news and call anyone in the government stupid and they can't do their jobs or that one party is incompetent. You might lose or gain friends from that, which is still a consequence.
Also in the US, if you directly threaten a person with physical harm and if intent of action can be shown, you are going to be arrested. Your words have now become an infringement on the rights of someone else.
I am just clarifying things, s'all.
Having a mouth and being able to speak words is a thing. You are "free to say words" and nobody can legally sew your mouth shut and make you incapable of talking.
When those words become a threat, someone else must now have their rights protected. This is mostly where the limitations on "Freedom of Speech" come from.
I am pulling this conversation back a hair to define what we are talking about as it's easy to mix terms on social media.
Ok. Let's break this down: Your definition and interpretation of free speech is irrelevant. You can interpret anything however you want whenever you want and that is fine. Your arguments may not hold up in court and you cannot force that definition on others because you believe you are enlightened.
As broken as our legal system is, it is all we have for now. As such, you need to understand that the only definition of free speech that matters is the one that has been interpreted by a court of law.

You can keep babbling on like a SovCit if you want, but you need to understand our legal system and how rights work, especially for minors.
What we are saying is that you can say anything you want but there should be reasonable limits.
Freedom of speech covers most opinions and ideas except when words present a direct threat to others.
China can and does censor things on a broad scale and as an example, calling the government or dictator stupid would probably get you tossed in jail. That is not freedom of speech.
It is their fault, but most of the assets listed do not amount to much. There was one that broke a billion, but that was for a gas processing facility and not something you can move easily.
I speculate that most of those assets were written off already and it's mainly just a puff piece of an article.
A few hours later, I just discovered how long this cheesy noodle trend has been going on for.
Also, this idea was already taken by a previous poster who likely started this trend quite a few days ago, I see.
My mistake!
