Unironically I love logging on and seeing which meme (it's always a meme) is to become a battleground for the next three days

I have a friend in China that pays around 3500rmb a year (incl electric, heating, ac, internet) for a place in a mid tier Chinese city. It's a 10 minute walk from a metro, fairly new, and she prepaid two years of rent working a gig job at minimum wage for 2 months. Her girlfriend also works minimum wage and they said they aren't even employed right now and they saved some money up from their sporadic gig jobs and are now taking a 2 year vacation because they just wanted to chill, I guess. They send me cute lesbian pictures of them on the beach somewhat regularly. They say no one bothers them about being queer, though their families are still in a somewhat hilarious feud over who should take on whose name. They don't pay any taxes, they are exempt due to a wage cutoff.

I'm sure everyone here has it cheaper! 🤡 China is a capitalist nightmare don't you know?
