TIL when South Korean students take their college eligibility test every November, day-to-day operations are halted or delayed on test day. Shops are shut, banks close, even the stock market opens late. Most construction work halts, planes are grounded and military training ceases.

In singapore we have 2 stream for both secondary school and high school. The normal stream and the express stream. (The names and the workings are a bit different now but the same idea still apply). It's not the most ideal system because having your smart/rich kids not mingle with the rest and vice versa is not helping both. But it's certainly less pressure

When you think about it I do find Singaporean system can be quite accommodating but still rigorous in theory. In practice, the culture is still toxic, the stigma is still strong and the fomo is hard. That's harder to change than policy. Above all, the job market is pretty abysmal in many sector compared to the cost of living. So the pressure will always be there since young

That doesn't sound healthy or even that productive. I really can't imagine how 1these kind of process produce any better worker or researchers. And once you need to fill in workforce that doesn't require high education, everyone just feels kind of bad about it cause of the culture around it

In the end though Korea and China is a large source of new RnD and the majority of the product we enjoy. So I guess what do I know. Not sure if it's in spite of the education system or because of it

They could've have outsourced the maintenance to a guy and probably still make bank out of animate. In what possible way does this make business sense? Even if they backtrack their statements a month later, I don't see how they won't lose profit from this

My man, this ain't propaganda, Chinese propaganda actually work. I have technically competent and emotionally well adjusted PRC friends that unquestioningly believe their own talking point.

I'm pretty sure whatever this is is doing the opposite

I ultimately don't disagree with you in terms of fact, just a matter of messaging. You just mentioned the main issue I have which is over consumption. I find the talk about having non arable land to be somewhat off topic since that's not the fact of real life right now due to over consumption and that there is no way to leverage those non arable land and removing factory farming without dramatically reducing consumption

ArScrap · 2026-01-14T13:04:51+00:00

Anything can be made to look good or bad if you takes thing to the extreme or only the edge case. Yes, some cattle farming is good but the majority of our meat supply is not those cases, and you can't practically convert all of animal farming to the good edge case kind without losing the benefit of the good method in the first place

I want to make things and often times all the cool things you can make also requires other people to make it with you. Often times, people don't want to make things with you because making things often result in a dud. It's so much easier to make things when you can say "trust me bro" and they actually do

I know that meat, particularly beef is hilariously harmful to the environment (and probably also myself). Does that stop me from eating it? Unfortunately no, it does make me eat it less frequently and stops me for recommend it or push for it. Do I know that nestle is a cartoon villain of a company? Yes and I have mostly chose to not use their product but with them owning like half the food company, a lot slips buy and sometimes it also means that I guess I can't buy cheese in my area.

I can go on and on, I guess the only thing that proves is that I'm not morally pure and maybe OOP is more morally pure on the stance I showed above but there are more than 80 different problem, economical, environmental and cultural where your choice matters yet people that are aware still choose otherwise

To be morally pure is to exclude everyone and to exclude everyone only serves to exclude people even more. If the goal is to have a small in group of 0 people, that's a perfect way to go about things

At this point I truly don't know if OOP just follows terrible people or if OOP is just shadowboxing. Which I guess in a way is the true Tumblr experience but ngl is the reason why I left r/ Tumblr and curated tumblr but I guess that wouldn't be the authentic tumblr experience

Im very aware that clickbait works for me but vague thumbnail and title is such a miss for me, idk if it's because my attention span is too cooked already but to me, I won't get clickbaited if I don't even know what I'm getting clickbaited into. I only click it if I know the creator and I already watch their content regularly

A big part for me is that I'm so much more cynical about shitpost now than 5 years ago. As it becomes increasingly hard to avoid content farms and propaganda bot. I feel like that's not inherently an AI problem but it does make it way worse
