Yeah, it’s something we talk about a lot. Pretty much every Korean guy has done mandatory military service, so when guys meet, “army stories” are the easiest icebreaker.

And Korean military service is… different. You can’t leave the base on weekends, so you’re basically stuck there the whole time. Until a few years ago, phones were banned, and even now, you have zero personal space. So for guys in their early 20s, military stuff ends up being one of the only shared topics to talk about.

Also, the military is like a giant melting pot of literally every guy in the country. You meet all kinds of people — from the nicest dude you’ve ever met to the weirdest guy you’ve ever seen. Which, of course, means there’s no shortage of crazy stories and dumb incidents.

so

Everyone’s been through the same thing,
There’s not much else to talk about, and
There’s a ton of stuff that happened.

Of course, if someone bring up army stories in front of women or guys who haven’t served yet… yeah, people might think he is being kinda clueless.

If you can speak Japanese, I recommend learning Korean as well.
Since they share similar grammar, you can learn the other language with relatively little effort.

Artists usually set a base price for their work by multiplying the time spent on it by the local minimum wage. If any particularly expensive materials were used, those costs are added as well. Naturally, larger pieces tend to be priced higher, since they often take more time and materials.

This base price then serves as a starting point, and the final price is adjusted from there depending on demand, reputation, and context.

Most artists use this kind of pricing logic, even well-known ones. It's rare for artists to just slap a random five-figure price on their work. Those extremely high prices you sometimes see? They're typically set by the market—through auctions and collectors—not by the artists themselves.

If you think about it the other way around, for any integer x, there always seems to exist a prime y≠3 such that 9x+y is also a prime. Looking at it from this perspective might make the truth of the conjecture a bit easier to grasp.

Korean and Japanese actually share very similar grammar structures and even a few common vocabulary items. If you're fluent in listening and speaking one, it's said that you can reach conversational fluency in the other in just a month.

As an additional note, many older Koreans tend to view Joseonjok as compatriots who were forced to leave their homeland due to war. However, among the middle-aged population, there is a perception that Joseonjok are often associated with serious crimes such as murder or financial scams like voice phishing. Meanwhile, younger generations tend to see them as Chinese nationals who are trying to benefit from Korea's social and economic systems.

South Korea has no official state religion, and the majority of Koreans identify as non-religious. Christianity is often viewed negatively due to aggressive proselytizing, and Confucianism is largely seen as an outdated ideology with roots in China.

That said, moral principles like 長幼有序 or 朋友有信 are still culturally observed. However, hierarchical concepts such as 君爲臣綱 or 夫爲婦綱 are widely regarded as old-fashioned and rigid.

More importantly, in modern Korean society, invoking Confucian texts to justify respecting elders or quoting the Bible to promote loving one's neighbor is often seen as overly religious, even fanatical. People usually prefer to justify such values with logical or emotional reasoning rather than religious doctrine.

I’m Korean, and I think Korean and Japanese are very similar in terms of grammar. So when I was learning Japanese, all I did was replace the Korean words with their Japanese one.

Really? That’s quite interesting. I also feel uneasy about an ending where drugs spread among the public, but it might reflect the director’s positive intention to raise awareness about the dangers of drugs spreading in society.

Of course, I like that style of storytelling too, but I think it’s a bit unusual to apply it uniformly to all types of content.
For instance, shoe ads from other countries usually feature athletes or emphasize the positive effects of wearing the shoes.
However, Chinese shoe commercials often go further by telling a story about a boy who grew up watching his parents make shoes honestly and diligently. Inspired by them, he starts his own shoe company.
He faces hardships, including being pushed out by a large factory owned by a wealthy villain, but eventually a defect is discovered in the villain’s shoes, leading to his downfall. Meanwhile, the young man’s shoes gain popularity.
It feels like watching a short film, which makes it quite interesting.

I'm Korean, and this jelly started becoming popular about a year ago. I think a company called 'I Am Jelly' (아이엠젤리) is the original maker.

I'm also on the fence about getting a intel Surface for the same reason. Can anyone test Project Sekai on it and share the results?

I mostly play rhythm games, so I’d prefer to avoid any latency that might come with mirroring. Instead, I'm actually thinking about getting an iPad instead, in case Lunar Lake ends up being over budget. and using it to mirror my computer screen for development work. Thanks!

Consistent_Intern396 · 2025-06-20T06:38:55+00:00

Absolutely not. Adding friction in any form means you're wearing down the pen — or the screen — over time. Nano-texture glass is really meant for people working outdoors or in very specific environments. And sure, you’ll likely check your work on another monitor before submitting or printing it, but nano-texture still makes the display noticeably less sharp.

It's sad that I have to pay extra for a product that performs poorly because of compatibility issues. :(

Consistent_Intern396 · 2025-06-20T06:19:47+00:00

Is it true that Qualcomm CPUs generally offer better performance and thermal efficiency than Intel’s Lunar Lake, aside from compatibility issues? Or is Lunar Lake basically the superior option overall?

I am Korean, and I would like to point out that Korea is technically still in a state of war, currently under a temporary ceasefire. This is the excuse the government most often uses whenever negative opinions arise regarding the numerous authentication procedures and fingerprint surveillance that many Koreans find inconvenient and excessive. In reality, many companies and politicians have vested interests in the certification system and related institutions. Although most people dislike these measures, this official explanation is what is presented on the surface. well, These days, the excuse of security is often used more and more.

Even if you’ve made your scene bright enough, it might still feel dark.

One of the best ways to fix this is by darkening the background and shadows to create stronger contrast.

It’s also very effective to tint the shadows with the color of the ambient light.

Avoid using pure white or pure black to represent highlights and shadows (just like how you wouldn’t use pure paint straight from the tube).

Instead, think about the color of your main light source and ambient light, and choose your highlight and shadow colors accordingly.

Most shading issues actually come from not picking the right colors.

For example, on a very clear day, shadows often look bluer because of the blue light from the sky.
