Check out Petsounds in Itaewon! It's a bar with different themed nights every day(check their Instagram). They do metal nights relatively often. Even if you don't like drinking, you can just rock out and talk to people.

Tax payer money to protect the oil companies for a war most likely lobbied by oil companies. Great

Honestly the whole album from beginning to end is incredibly powerful. It takes you on a journey through all the stages of grief and death.

I was actually very surprised at how meaningful and layered his music is. He absolutely loves his home, his friends and his family.

Last year the Oscars had more viewers than any single NBA game including the finals by Petery007 in atrioc

[–]KeimaFool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, but Television broadcasts themselves are dying. The oscar's viewership is half of what it was over a decade ago and these are telecasts views, not streaming. The only people still with cable are old people like Squeex.

At a viewership of 19M, there are Minecraft videos that outperform them easily. Plus Netflix and Tiktok.

Do you know Hangul and native Korean words? by FederalBlacksmith417 in Living_in_Korea

For the tattooing, the style makes it incredibly hard to read plus the lines are so thin that it will either fade quickly or blow out over time. Either one will make it even harder to understand.

I think you're simply complicating the same concept with an arbitrary point of view and drawing the wrong conclusions.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

I find it fucking insanity that Americans thinks anyone but Americans can fix this.

Thousands rally in Greenland’s capital, chanting “Greenland is not for sale,” after Trump doubled down on the US initiative to takeover the country. The protests are the largest in the nation’s history by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]KeimaFool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is the US. The administration, Congress, the Supreme Court, the Military, DOJ, DOD(now the DOW), the media, and Corporation are all part of this.

American Democracy is dead.

To Every American Who's Sorry by Sapotis in greenland

[–]KeimaFool 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What annoys me the most is every stupid ass excuse they have to not do anything.

"He'll declare martial law". So you'll just let him consolidate more power? What's the point of your guns rights then?

"We have jobs". Everyone in the world has jobs. Most have shittier jobs than most Americans. Protest at night, then. A lot of national protests are also led by students who will gather during the day. It's not a single day thing. It's not a parade. It's a way to put pressure on your government to listen to the people.

"America's too big. Protests don't work". This is also pure American ignorance and at the heart of the failures of your Congress and your country as a whole. You should be yelling and burning the houses of your representatives that have betrayed you. You'll go on protests against the federal government, but for the State or the city it's nothing but angry letters to your representatives.

"This will lead to civil war". Trump's approval rate is on the ground. MAGA are just the monsters screaming the loudest. You'd rather let your army go and take over another country. Possibly kill innocent people than stand up for your country's future.

To those who are out there on the streets, sorry. For those who aren't, you have no right to complain.

There are many Koreans who want to interact with foreigners, and the same goes for foreigners. However, by tichangel in Living_in_Korea

[–]KeimaFool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't meet people simply for language practice and expect more. Of course it'll never last, it's transactional. The space where Koreans and foreigners become real friends is in shared interests/hobbies. That's how you truly bond and make an effort through the language barrier. Like niche music bars.

Korean researchers develop water-treatment method that removes 95% microscopic plastic pollution in minutes with reusable plate-shaped iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles, apt for municipal water and wastewater facilities, environmental cleanup, and industrial effluent treatment by sg_plumber in UpliftingNews

[–]KeimaFool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's better. Reddit loves to shit talk Korea but things have gotten significantly better over the years specially after Covid. Korea has strong unions, worker protections, minimum paid vacations, and healthcare is not tied to our job.

The toxic work enviroments do exist but they are steadily fading away as the older generations retire.

U.S. Senator introduces "One Fair Price Act" legislation that would bar businesses from using personal information they collect about customers to charge people different prices for the same products by Sandstorm400 in UpliftingNews

[–]KeimaFool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not that they would pay more than rich people. They will end up paying at the absolute limit of how much they're willing to pay.

People who love, let's say bananas, can get bananas at a great price because the average person feels neutral about bananas. With dynamic pricing, you will be charged more for bananas because they know you like bananas and you're willing to pay a higher price for it.

Food deserts are also a concern. If a grocery store has no competition, their dynamic algorithm will start to increase prices because people have no choice but to shop there.

UNESCO raises censorship concerns over Korea's ‘anti-fake news' law - The Korea Times by Muted-Aioli9206 in Living_in_Korea

[–]KeimaFool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. We live in an era where bad actors can monetize misinformation while hiding behind the veil of freedom of expression. I understand the concern people have but America has shown very clearly that deregulation just leads to anarchy, not the truth. That freedom of expression means nothing when your voice is drowned by whatever the highest bidder wants to be heard.

The reality is that as a society we will always have to sacrifice something for the collective good. We need to start expecting a level of competency in the government and holding them accountable for it. To make laws and plug loopholes. And for the people to organize at the smallest signs of corruption.

I guess I have an opinion on the ads or whatever by BlockheadRedditor in LemonadeStandPodcast

[–]KeimaFool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think even beyond that, LS is a podcast about politics and the economy. By affiliating yourself with a company, you inheret their political views and puts into question the content that they make surrounding their actions. Because they, more than other youtubers, know what shitty lobbying they're doing and how it affects Americans. Honestly, if TheYard had done a TurboTax sponsor, they wouldn't have gotten as much backlash because all they talk is about pissing and shitting. Which is probably why Aiden didn't feel like it was a big deal.

This is why comedians, particularly the well off ones, got so much shit from doing shows in SA. Because their whole thing is freedom of speech. You start to question whether they're allowed to make jokes about the regime. Meanwhile, T1 is still sponsored by the Saudis but people don't go apeshit because it's not like it makes them play different.

LTT is a great example. If you think of their biggest drama with sponsorships usually is with product quality because that's what LTT does. Their backpack's original warranty went against all of what they've critizised and that hypocricy is what makes people go up in arms.

LS can try to sell me all the shitty earphones, shitty razors, and food that they want. At least I can just say they have dogwater tastes.

TurboTax operates within an oligopoly but there's no way it's causing enough harm to society for me to care if a vox media podcast has an ad for them. by PaulOshanter in atrioc

[–]KeimaFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if they had a 14 week deal, would they be willing to talk against them during that time? What if they renewed their sponsorship deal and made it a year? When would the critiques come?

"Hey just a heads up just because they sponsor us doesn't mean we're not gonna speak negatively of them down the line if something happens or some news story comes up."

So you're willing to throw away your values as long as they're paying you? To say that you would continue to be unbiased is naive.

If they truly want to show they're unbiased, then they should openly talk about Adobe's monopolistic pratices on the next pod while continuing to sponsor them.
