That's a very Orientalistic interpretation of what we have, where a Japanese company is understandably afraid of a batshit crazy leader of the world's most powerful nation with a h…

Me go market, find juice, say sugar free nice! sugar free! me take juice, me take sugar, police take me, why? hell!

Increasing gas prices seems very well correlated with people not voting for the incumbent party, and I can't imagine these people not feeling they're being punished by the price, s…

> They do what their handler wants to see, that’s all, and that’s what they’re trained to do. This sounds like a tautological argument that doesn't really mean anything. Hypothetic…

For some reason, I can access old.reddit.com from home, but I'm blocked in the subway. It's been like that for a few days. No idea why, or if it's even intentional ...

Imagine reading the title again in the voice of the Asian Father Meme. "You could have come up with Kimi Delta Attention, but you didn't, did you."

I know it's a cold and cynical take, but if it has to happen somewhere, better for it to happen in Europe, the US, or other developed countries. These countries can at least do som…

> Air travel seems like this as most airlines and manufacturers seem to bend over backwards for their wealthy and high margin passengers and basically treat economy class as ... Yo…

I don't say this often... but I feel this post could have been a tweet. Maybe two.

KOSPI is "crashing" to ~6800 from the highs of ~9000, but that's still 110% higher than 1 year ago (~3200), so let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. It remains to be seen where it …

The interesting twist is: now what does that tell us about people who say they will cut the waste of government incompetence?

Well, I guess that makes a certain philosophical sense, but if we allow for the existence of an extra-physical god (or gods) that we can't test for, there's no reason to believe th…

Sounds fine to me. Why would you need tires in interstellar space?

That's a really funny way of looking at "Some right wingers end up repelling their children through sheer bigotry or just being terrible parents, and as a result, these poor childr…

To expand a bit, even saying 대약진 _daeyakjin_ "great leap forward" wouldn't have turned many eyes, because _dae_ is just a common prefix ("great") and _yakjin_ is also a common word…

Due to the geopolitical situation, South Korean military has invested a crazy amount of resources on firepower. It has 2,780 self-propelled artillery vehicles, which is number #3 i…

Maybe off-topic, but sadly, climate change is an inconvenient topic for everyone. There's one thing that the poor, angry, ready-to-eat-the-rich masses hate more than the world warm…

At some point, people should agree they are responsible for the opinions they hold. Otherwise there's no point even arguing, because the only alternatives are that (1) the modern s…

It's a two-sided sword. When you are the consumer, blame the producer. When you are the producer, blame the consumer. In this way everybody can blame someone else and ensure that n…

Is this supposed to be sarcasm? As far as I know, America is the only nominally democratic country where cops routinely shoot people, and their number one excuse is that they thoug…

Eh looks like it already recovered about half of the plunge? KOSPI fell from 8,048 to 7,477, but now it's back to 7,807.

I think there should be a relatively simple solution. Tax the homeowners proportional to their homes' market value. Either you get enough tax revenue to build more houses, or the t…

Meh, it's not like before public schools most children had access to tutors tailored to their individual needs. Badly misquoting Churchill, public schools are the worst form of edu…
