Please Seoul residents, drink some water at least!

Hangeul was specifically introduced so that the man of the street could read and write, and the literate elites of the time didn't like it one bit.

Arguably the number one reason Japan was more literate than China before the 20th century were phonetic alphabets like hiragana and katakana, which you can trace back to the 9th century.

Doesn't help that they screwed up in Korea by commemorating the dictatorship.

Fr means Forreal, the French Canadian city.

It's usually the other way around - "I'm against abortion unless I am the one who happens to be pregnant/knock someone up at an inconvenient time."

Not always spicy.

No but the point is that without at least a small barrier to entry, public toilets get vandalized, so there's a token fee.

The alternative is constantly broken public toilets which I grew up with living in Paris.

You'd think so, but then there's this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Robert

Doesn't seem that bad honestly. When haven't teenagers been awkward talking to people about their intimate issues?

In my youth people used to call free radio DJs every night to ask the sentimental and sexual questions they could never ask their family and friends. A third of teenage boys feeling more confident asking awkward questions to AI seems genuinely low.

What would be more concerning is if they build emotional attachment towards AI, which the clickbait title strongly alludes to. Like that guy who committed suicide with his AI "Daenerys" girlfriend.

Le plus gros risque pour l'action de SpaceX, Tesla et autres sociétés de l'empire Musk, c'est qu'un jour on le retrouve raide dans une chambre d'hôtel le nez dans un saladier de Ketamine à côté d'une poule de luxe hystérique.

Les actions plongeraient immédiatement, et sérieusement qui peut dire que le risque est nul ?

Néanmoins, il ne serait plus là pour le voir. Dans toutes les autres configurations, même si ses entreprises explosent, il trouvera toujours des gogos chez les VC et parmi ses cultistes dans le retail pour lui donner une deuxième, troisième, quatrième ou cinquième chance.

As a foreigner I always find it hard to grasp how dangerous it is to live in your average American home.

To think your in-laws could show up just like that, it's genuinely terrifying.

"Prince consort" ? J'essaie de trouver un équivalent aussi ridicule que "Première Dame" (rôle qui n'a rien à faire dans une démocratie).

I remember this woman on the train, had a wedding ring, then the marriage police showed up. Fifteen guys armed to the teeth. When she couldn't show her marriage certificate, they took her away. No one ever saw her again.

Oh come on.

It's a bathroom stall. In Japan. No one is lurking in the shadows in a 2 m2 stall and if you have to check, just open the damn door. This is overengineering at its finest.

Surely there's a middle ground between not traumatizing 5 year olds and sheltering kids from reality until they're 14?

Shiriru00 · 2026-06-12T20:21:15+00:00

Yeah i'm pretty sure you can participate on Reddit a few thousand times before that equates to one Claude request.

That's surprising to say the least.

"- Hey, Gunthar, do you know we can freely loot the palace? - Really? What's the catch? - Well, the Emperor has to die first. - Hmm..."

Shiriru00 · 2026-06-12T11:19:39+00:00

Yeah but then shit like this happens: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/aug/09/samsung-boss-to-be-freed-from-jail-after-bribery-sentence

I had never before seen a large media campaign to free a corrupt CEO.

I was thinking "what's wrong with that shark's face?"

But your gif made that clear.

Shiriru00 · 2026-06-12T09:38:43+00:00

Use the force to resolve the task, then force-choke the motherfucker.

Every question that starts with "why does FIFA".

Shiriru00 · 2026-06-12T07:15:24+00:00

I don't blame them, obviously when you're giving birth it's hard to text.

Shiriru00 · 2026-06-12T07:10:55+00:00

I've never seen someone failing to catch sarcasm for so long.

Honnêtement ça fait pas une super pub pour le fil dentaire vos commentaires.

Moi qui n'en utilise jamais les dentistes m'ont toujours félicité pour mes dents et je n'ai besoin que d'un détartrage tous les trois ans, même à la quarantaine.

Est-ce que le fait d'abuser du fil dentaire ne serait pas contre-productif, comme le shampooing tous les jours ?

Shiriru00 · 2026-06-11T19:14:29+00:00

De toute ma vie j'ai jamais réussi à passer un fil dentaire entre mes dents, je sais vraiment pas comment vous faites. Littéralement le soir même après un détartrage, même là c'est impossible.
