Holy shit! Spoiler tag for my boy, plz!

They’ve been doing this in Korea for more than a decade. It’s a bit annoying being mandated to throw your food scraps out separately, but it’s good to know the refuse is reused.
Topics too hot for the public! I reckon it’s probably more overreaction by the CCP. They are certainly a dramatic bunch.
Yeah, no shit. And having a safety makes it near impossible to pull the trigger. I don’t think anyone here doesn’t understand the concept of a safety mechanism.
I returned to it recently and the combat, especially melee, felt pretty outdated. The VR version was a shit ton of fun though.
Naw. They ain’t going back. There’s no program to send them back and it would be a massive security risk.
Some integrate better than others most certainly. Younger defectors might go to Korean universities. Older ones might go work in factories or wherever they’re a good fit. Some want to go back to North Korea because they can’t handle the cultural differences.
This guy is higher-profile than most, so he’s prolly gonna live pretty kushily.
As someone who taught at all levels of the South Korean school system for about fifteen years, it’s not that bad. Teachers are way way more respected than in American schools.
Kids are generally happy up until second year of middle school then the admin tightens the nuts on them and forces pretty rigorous testing. Schooling shifts from a more western style school to basically spending all day every day learning to do well on the college entrance exam. It’s pretty soul crushing for students and teachers. They really just have to replace their college entry exam with something that can be taken more than once a year. That would solve a lot of problems with the system they have in place.
Life is certainly tough on students, but their lives are getting better. There’s no longer corporal punishment, so no more slapping physically for the past ten years. A lot more laws protecting them from overwork. This is an opinion piece that leaves out a lot of important information, such was what region these bylaws were being cancelled in (small, conservative area). While that might suck for some kids, it’s not nearly as widespread as the article would have you believe. These Christian sects see the writing on the wall and are putting a lot of effort to try to spread their dying hate and they’re mostly failing at doing that.
Half of South Koreans have no religious affiliation and only about twenty percent of Koreans are of Christian faith. Young people are especially non religious. It’s certainly not getting worse. The old folk nut job Christian cults are just the loudest. Lived in Seoul for fifteen years and rarely come in contact with anyone pushing their religion other than in touristy areas.
Looks great. My in-laws occasionally do the mandu thing for New Years, but they’re all about doing songpyeon for Chuseok. Happy Solnal!
This CNN article is super well written and goes into a lot of detail of this place. Highly recommended if you’re interested in learning more.
No pun intended?
The problem was that it wasn’t organized. It was just the first Halloween in Itaewon since COVID and the police didn’t plan for there to be such a big turnout. The annual foreign food festival was held a few weeks before Halloween, and the district office closed down the main streets to hold it. They should’ve did the same for Halloween, but hindsight is 50/50 or whatever.
That’s the thing: most of them are not willingly there. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied, South Korean men.
Reminds me of this video where a shirtless Chinese fella is wading in a giant pool of kimchi. The video led to a Korean boycott of Chinese kimchi, which is commonly served in greasy spoons across Korea.
Do what now?
How could you, Joe Pesci!
