Legally, in most jurisdictions, you report it.

Ethically, if there no ID or any identifiable infomation nearby, its very unlikely for the owner to be found, I think it’s fine to keep it. (If there is an ID, you should give it to the authorities.)

If it were any amount above $1000, I wouldn’t touch it, it could be drug money, don’t want to get caught up in some drug cartel bussiness.

Keep it mind, cops could pocket it. So if you really want to find the owner, you should probably try to find them yourself, at the cost of your time and potentially getting falsely accused of being a thief.

TLDR:

Options:

1. Pocket it
2. Give it to the authorities
3. Find the owner on your own time
4. Leave it where you found it

Your choice.

The big one with China is that culturally there’s no expectation that you treat a stranger respectfully

Not true. My parents, while strict and sometimes abusive to me, still taught me to be polite in public.

So you are assuming every Chinese person acts this way?

You could nitpick one example of a person in every racial/ethnic group doing something bad, it doesn’t mean that every member of that racial/ethnic group does that.

Bad news dominate headlines, do you think journalists will write about people behaving normally?

I was born in Guangzhou, PRC. I immigrated to the US when I was a kid. I don’t see many of my (ethnically Chinese) relatives behaving “improperly” in the US. Most of my interactions in NYC Chinatown and Ohilly Chinatown was fine. Not sure what you mean by “improper” behavior. Any examples of such “improper” behavior?

As a Chinese American, I think I behave just fine. Not sure why your question is phrased this way, sounds a bit bigoted. 🤔

As someone have said, lemmy.world blocks VPNs.

But I’m curious, why are you sometimes using VPN, but other times exposing your real IP? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose, since your instance admins would still have your real IP, once you have accessed your account from your real IP, even once.

Either use VPN all the time, or just don’t bother. A half-assed approach doesn’t really do anything.

If Verizon and AT&T does some bad shit, you have to basically stop using cell service. Not to mention, some people have basically only one provider that isn’t total dogshit.

I think realistically the only way to have a phone on your person and truly 100% know you’re not being tracked with it is by putting it in a faraday bag/cage

Nope. If the OS is malicious, it could use gyroscopes and the accelerometer to determine exactly where you are

What’s a TV?

I just Piratebay stuff and watch it using VLC on any device I want.

WW1, but I like 1917, I just like the idea of it being a “One Shot”

(not a true one shot, but good enough 🤷‍♂️)

teslas aren’t even worthy of the designation “self-driving”. They use cheap cameras instead of LIDAR. It should be illegal to call such junk “self-driving”.

Remember, you have the right to self-defence, against both rogue robots and rogue humans.

Yea sure. I eat the banana peels too. Idk why people look at me like I’m a weirdo.

Lol this looks lile an April Fools prank.

Ctrl + V is paste, and most browsers do not require permission for the website to copy something into your clipboard (as opposed to pasting from your clipboard).

So a paste would just input code for your OS to run. Sus. Its obviously either malware or a prank.

If your friend perhaps a German?

(I heard they have no speed limits 👀)

Oh, not everyone. Those people exist IRL. The world has over 8 Billion people, surely there are some weirdos.
