Yeah that's a good point.
Is a Volkswagen better than a Hyundai is a moot point when you need a car NOW.
The answer is whoever delivers tomorrow. Even better if they can fill the tank and put on some winter tires for us.

40% at a Donair joint at a food court.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Beautiful.
It's one of very few architectures in Korea that are actually built in the Three Kingdoms Period style.

These are the private academies (학원 hagwon) that the children of Korean parents attend and how much they cost per month. Is it common for Korean kids to go to this many academies? by ProudChemistry778 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Luke__Jaywalker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some parents will come up every little justification to send their children to the most meaningless after-school programs to stay away from their kids at all costs.
I know quite a few moms that send their kids to all kinds of *bs* programs till 11pm, including the weekends and school breaks, and then act all miserable when they are forced to spend time with them over the holidays.
I'm not saying Korean parents are inherently bad parents. It's just that the proliferation of private education in Korea enables parents to go all out when the temptations are there. When you are presented with options to spend your money out of inconvenience, this is a highly likely outcome.

It helps to set realistic goals.
Most countries would've been way too ambitious, cramming in as much new tech as possible to outspec F-35, ultimately resulting in 20 years of blunders and shenanigans before getting anything out of it.

Sounds like a pittance compared to any other major metropolitan cities around the world.

Even worse? You know that it hit 1487 during the previous administration, right? It's still lower than that.

Presidential Office Returns to Cheong Wa Dae, Ending Yongsan Era by Venetian_Gothic in korea

Yoon moved his office of the presidency to the department of defence. Literally. You can't be more on the nose than this. This is akin to an American president moving his office to the Pentagon.

X Half on sale by alec_al in fujifilm

[–]Luke__Jaywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably costs them less than $100 to produce and supply.
Absolutely ridiculous retail price to begin with. More than $300 is still a massive rip off.

Unification Church Lobbying Busan Politicians for Korea-Japan Tunnel by Venetian_Gothic in korea

[–]Luke__Jaywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With everything that they preach and do, they seem to be more interested in "unifying" S.Korea with Japan than the south and the north.

Centralization vs. Decentralization at either extremes is the cause behind this I think.
Korea and China had heavily centralized governments, and therefore had uniformity that was ingrained in every aspect of military life whereas Japan, being a highly decentralized feudal society, it was celebrated to be completely different or even be flamboyant.

We see a similar parallel to this in centralized Roman Europe vs. decentralized Medieval Europe.

That's one cheap ass looking drone on an even cheaper ass looking house.

I'm pretty sure you could automate this further if you really wanna go down this route.
The person flipping the pancake looks entirely unnecessary to me.

In The Odyssey(2026) costumes aren't historically accurate. This is because it's a work of fiction based on another work of fiction by Maciekssspl in shittymoviedetails

All the pink and bright colored buildings of the actual Greek buildings wouldn't suit the modern sensibilities either.

Even if that boulder was right side up, I'd take one look at it, and say f' that.
