hate when people think I know stuff. I dont know anything, I just use Google. I Google simple words because they look like they're spelled wrong and I cant be sure. I Google how to boil eggs every time I do it. this is who I am.

Persephone: I need some seratonin.

Hades: *stands up*

Hades: *sits back down*

Hades: I forgot what seratonin was for a moment and was about to get you some.

Persephone, thinking to herself: He's a little confused but he's got the spirit!

So with voting do you cum when a person get bitten into or when a person is swallowed or does it depend on the moment

btw the pepe symbol used to be a white supremacist/fascist icon, but a while back the creator sued and worked to make it illegal for those groups to use the meme. hong king protestors seem to be using it as a symbol for their protest now!! pls signal boost so people don’t label them as white supremacists.

What are you clowns talking about??? This is LITERALLY a far-right protest to protect a man who murdered his girlfriend. Like I get you guys wanna make your "pepe redemption arc" memes so bad but. Consider thinking. For once.

Hey! HongKonger here. It looks like there's confusion about what the Hong Kong protests are really about, so I hope I can help clear it up.

We want justice for the murder victim too, and we're definitely not trying to protect the murderer. The thing is, the murder happened in Taiwan, outside of Hong Kong, and HK currently doesn't have any extradition agreement with Taiwan, so we can't give the man to Taiwan for legal proceedings right now.

Now, HK can certainly work out some sort of special agreements with Taiwan to make it happen for this murder case, and that's what a reasonable top HK leader should do. But no, the current Chief Executive (i.e. the top political leader), who's actually elected by mainland China but not democratically elected by the people of HK and thus doesn't really care about our opinion, decided not to work out a special arrangement for the murder case. You know what she did?

She decided to make a blanket change to the current HK extradition law, so that it allows everyone who lives or even just passing through HK to be handed over to places we currently don't have extradition deals with. Sounds good, right?

Wrong! Taiwan doesn't want to go down this route and it has explicitly stated that if that's the route HK takes, Taiwan will not request for the murderer to be handed over to Taiwan. For one, it's not the most time efficient way for HK to hand over the man to Taiwan and get justice for the murdered girlfriend.

The most important and underlying reason is: the proposed changes cover handing over people to mainland China, which we all don't trust bc of its "legal" system that frequently forces people to "confess" their "crime" without real proof of crime and the main victims are human rights activists. The proposed new extradition bill can't guarantee people turned over will be assumed innocent until proven guilty in the legal systems they're sent to, which is the foundation to protect people wrongfully charged of crime. And the HK court doesn't have enough power to overrule sending anyone to mainland China for any "crime".

Tl;dr:

HongKongers want justice for the murder victim, but not through the proposed changes to the law currently put forward by the HK government. If the proposed changes are passed, mainland China can bully the top HK political leader into handing over anyone who disagrees with mainland China to be sentenced in mainland China under any "crime" it can make up.

"You're protecting the murderer if you don't support the proposed new extradition bill" is exactly the kind of rhetoric the mainland China-appointed top HK political leader uses to try to make protestors fighting for freedom look bad.

Is that what you want for Hong Kong? To be turned into the express line for punishment in mainland China for fabricated crimes?

P.S. We identify as HongKongers / HongKongese to denote we're different from mainland Chinese. "Chinese" in our context refers to people from mainland China. Be mindful when you refer to people from Hong Kong.

Well Twitter has 3,900 employees,

Facebook has 35,587 full time employees,

and tiktok has 833 employees that also have a LinkedIn profile (there may be more employees but I can't find a published number beyond LinkedIn)

Apparently the current proposed name of the hypothetical ninth planet is Persephone which is such a good name I’m mad I didn’t think of it.

charlesoberonn

Allow me to explain why it’s such a great name:

It pays homage to Pluto, previously known as the ninth planet, since Persephone was Pluto/Hades’s wife in Greek Mythology

It helps make up for the gender inequality in the names of planets, since Venus is the only other planet named after a woman

If it exists, it’d be the coldest planet in the Solar System, and in Greek Mythology, it was Persephone’s time spent in the underworld that caused winter
