Hi! An authentic Chinese here. It's really interesting to see a completely different sample of a social being and its thoughts organized in a completely different social condition.
I'm not very agreeing with what you think, based on my own experiences; but the 3d graphics parts are really cool! Keeps reminding me of some 90~00s visual programs, like `xscreensaver`.

thanks! there's a bunch of bands i've seen in small venues that aren't listed, it's def the scene i'm most familiar with. it started with listening to deftones "white pony" as a kid.

one can only replace an illusion with another illusion. there are only illusions, the black iron prison keeps reality from being knowable to you.

I love finding cool websites like this. Another gem added to the list. Like finding treasure foreal.

What a fearful thing it is when our creation stops reflecting us accurately (did it even ever do that?) P. S. We're all trapped in the Other's dream and it sometimes feels as though someone else wrote our lines for us or sum shit

most of my thoughts are second-hand, there are very few that are truly my own. there is an idea of a daliwali, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory or sum shit

daliwali's early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when crypt2.1 came out in '26, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. the whole website has a clear, crisp design language, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the spergouts a big boost. he's been compared to divinicide, but I think daliwali has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful crispness of it. Oh my God, it even has a moodboard.

Good bookshelf. If you take recommendations, I advise the anarchist cookbook by William Powell, you can find it online, skim it it's very interesting

i've read parts of it, i wouldn't take any of its practical advice seriously as a lot of it is dated, there's more useful info in army field manuals and βββββ. it's mostly useful for shock value and not much else.

modern day anarchism might look more like drone defense/offense, how to not get tracked by big brother, how to use monero and mesh networks, how to organize covertly, stay on the move and shelter covertly, and tax avoidance. today the problem is that the system threatens basic survival and is totally invasive.
Thanks for the (re?)follow, and for being one of the few who understand whatβs going on (and willing to say it)

thanks for being a real one. i must admit that neocity is a strange venue but it is exactly on the margins where i can be most expressive.

Hey! Can you explain to me how you did it that on your about me section the entire site scales with screensize, instead of individual aspects of it?

it's a column layout using css `columns` with `max-width`, there's a container query on the parent to set the `columns: 1` if it's too small.

when you live in a society that works for you, of course it is hard to come to the same conclusions i have. for some Americans this society does work for them. it does not work for me and i have no recourse. thanks, i try to sublimate my energy into art, am also a fan of JWZ.
i also think it is incredibly ironic that the ultimate goal for elite Chinese is to send their kids to American schools and park their assets in foreign countries. better to be an authentic Chinese than a fake.
