  • Nobody wants to do that. North Korea is a shithole-class country that hates SK, is propped up by China, and to a lesser extent, Russia, who basically use them as slave labor and cannon fodder for their illegal war in Ukraine.

    While NATO could easily steamroll NK, SK is right there and would get heavily damaged in a war. And then SK would probably have to take care of a ton of starving, brainwashed, uneducated people and a bombed flat country. Nobody wants to fix them, and superpowers like China are actively working against peaceful initiatives like reunification.

    It's an injustice for the world, but there's much bigger fish to fry on the world stage right now. Existential, extinction-class threats like climate change and nuclear war. Democracies fighting tooth and nail against totalitarianism, like Ukraine. And western countries in various fights against the predictable but extremely annoying rise in fascism.

  • They're smoking symbiotes.

  • For LGBTQ rights? Definitely. For the climate? Way worse. Politically? Way worse. Economically... I'd way we are in a big bubble like the roaring 20s before the great depression. And when it pops, it's gonna be bad, thanks to idiot voters and corrupt Republicans.

    Government-wise...things are not looking good. It will take a very long time to rebuild.

    Now...state-wise, I know my state is way better off than it was 30 years ago, but that doesn't mean we aren't about to get slammed by braindead antics of the federal government. But we have made a lot of infrastructure investments that are paying off locally. The future of America will be exclusively in states that put a premium on science and progress.

  • For vocals, probably Constellations (Unplugged) by Dabu. This song can be found on less compressed platforms too, which I recommend

  • That's the same thing that got us here in the US. You have to clamp down on that shit while you still can. The fucking Russian government is good at it.

  • If we are talking in the magical sense, absolutely not, especially if it was proportional to crimes committed. Putin, Trump, XI, and Kim never would have made it to power, not to mention quite a few others.

  • That snowball guy finally died last year, thank God. Too bad it wasn't from a flood or hurricane.

  • People definitely dance here, but I'm usually going to gay bars or weddings. I support stickers over cameras, too. If you are going out with friends, you might as well have a good time rather than just being buried in your phone all night.

  • The original Subnautica is worth playing, it's a fantastic game with an interesting world, intriguing story, and actually fun gameplay and vehicles. The vehicles themselves are extremely fun, too.

  • I don't really like it, but sometimes those types of cases are the only good ones with radiator clearance in a relatively small footprint.

    I still miss this one, it was all metal and very close to an Apple G5 case, minus the compatibility issues.

    Unfortunately, this case also couldn't support radiators in any meaningful capacity, so I had to sell it. Currently using a Lian li case that I dislike, but it has damn good radiator support, and my PC is now completely silent.

    I like foldables, but I won't be getting another one until Samsung and other OEMs dramatically overhaul their design and durability. When a ribbon connector went bad, they required repair companies to replace the two screens and hinge, a $600 repair on a phone worth $400. The ribbon connector is a 20¢ component, if that. I ended up getting a Motorola on sale for $250 that can do most of what high end flagships can do.

  • I always recommend this site: https://theteahouseltd.com/

    We've visited them in person and their tea was so fantastic that even non-tea people loved it. They ship worldwide. I tend to order in bulk these years.

    Only one tea has ever come close, and it was a small Asian restaurant out of Vancouver, BC. This store has dozens of amazing varieties.

  • We just have an instant hot water tap. Can't live without it, haha.

  • One lady saw me locking my bike up with 12mm thick chain and expressed sadness that we have to go to such lengths as a society just to keep others from touching things that aren't theirs. I sometimes think of her now when I'm locking up my bike.

    Doubly sad too, since some people don't have cars, and bikes are their primary means of transit.

  • I miss the worm lights. My cousin had one, and even though I had the Advance SP, I thought the worm LED was super neat.

  • My buddy started balding at 16. He held on for a number of years, but eventually we helped him rip the bandaid off and he shaved himself bald. Instantly looked younger again just because he didn't have a ring of hair at 27 anymore. Honestly, it can look really cool if you shave it.

  • I lived too close to a hospital. Apparently, the road I lived next to was the road that all fire, EMS, and police used. Tons of sirens at all hours of the night and day. I toured the place on a quiet day, so it never occurred to me about the noise. That was a bit of a suffer fest.

    One funny thing about that place, someone always swore consistently on the street between 17:00-20:00 each evening. It was always someone new, but it was like clockwork. Guests wouldn't believe it at first, but it became a thing, lol. Sometimes it was someone on a skateboard eating shit in the protected bike lane, other times it was a pissed off pedestrian, someone having an argument, someone having fun, or someone clearly off their medication. No apartment has had that before or since.
