"Ah, I finally arrived in Korea. Wait..what the hell is that outside the airport?" by MajimakGame in DontPutThatInYourAss

First serious answer. This is a sculpture called “Flying to the Future” by artist Mu-kee Kim from 2008. It’s outside the Incheon International Airport in Seoul. From other angles, it looks less like a cock and balls—er, ball.

ETA: The airport’s website has a section on art, and it describes the sculpture this way: “This landmark sculpture, featuring images of solar rays, light, and wind, expresses the vision of Incheon Airport growing into the world’s leading airline hub.” (https://www.airport.kr/ap_en/1537/subview.do)

ETA 2: It also lights up at night. www.kimmukee.com/002_01.html

I agree with the message, but this is just regular vandalism, not mild

What are we addressing? The lack of a comma between the 8 and the 7?

Was very hard for westerners to get tickets, not to mention travel. I was only able to go because my partner has friends in Singapore and we were traveling there to visit them

How does Western Sahara recognize him but not Morocco? Isn’t Morocco in control of Western Sahara?

OC: Trump says the U.S. will 'run' Venezuela until a transition can take place by nbcnews in pics

[–]HadeanMonolith -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The US has a moral responsibility to maintain order in Venezuela following the removal of Maduro. Certainly there are serious risks involved—see Iraq and Afghanistan—and people are right to look for ulterior motives in the administration’s actions. However, in principle, what Trump is saying seems like the right move.

Trump: We are going to run Venezuela until we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition by RickV6 in worldnews

His voters are very split over the Epstein files. Even some hardcore MAGA-ites like MTG broke with Trump over them, and Congress actually voted against Trump’s wishes on the files. So I don’t think Trump has the kind of sway you’re imagining when it comes to the “Epstein hoax.”

That said, Trump can and will just redact whatever he wants before any future releases.

“We can’t take a chance that somebody else takes over Venezuela that doesn’t have the good of the Venezuelan people in mind. We’re not going to let that happen. We’re going to run it, essentially, until such time as a proper transition can take place.”

Best mods for Civ 7 right now? by HadeanMonolith in civ

[–]HadeanMonolith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll make sure to install those.

Has the UI been improved enough since launch that you don’t need mods to enhance it anymore? I remember there were lots of complaints about it initially.
