You always got the best references, B!

I returned to it recently and the combat, especially melee, felt pretty outdated. The VR version was a shit ton of fun though.

If it's"largely symbolic," why not just really fucking go at 'em. Eleventy bajillion thousand dollars sounds fair to me.

Imagine Apple destroying your son's hearing and your lawyer says, "Welp, $75,000 sounds like the going rate for the ability to hear normally. Let's sue one of the biggest corporations in the world for that amount." Then you go along with it.

Ex-cop, accused of killing gay TV presenter and his boyfriend, faces new charges

"His boyfriend" is still slightly ambiguous, but that's getting a bit nit-picky.

Came to say A Short Hike. First thing that springs to mind when I think summer adventure.

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.

Is that Steve Jobs in a D.A.R.E. shirt?

When the 'ㅅ' symbol is used in the last spot of a character, it become a 't' sound. 'ㅌ' is usually used as a starting 't' sound in a syllable and 'ㅅ' is usually used to end a symbol. If you want to make an 's' sound at the end of a word, '스' is usually used.

It's always been cool to make fun of Lil Stevie.

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.

Went up to Paju today and they're a day or two past full bloom. They leave real quickly, huh?

As if his dingus wasn't already tiny. How Lego gonna castrate my boy David like that?

My boy, he won the Oscar for best actor on slap night. He was still pissing gold.

These are Canadian dollars though, so it's kinda like paying with Monopoly money (I kid. They're around 112 USD).

Looks great. My in-laws occasionally do the mandu thing for New Years, but they're all about doing songpyeon for Chuseok. Happy Solnal!
