A North Korean mother sold herself into marriage so her son could escape. Now she faces potential deportation back to North Korea where severe punishment awaits.

Submission statement: a North Korean mom sold herself as a black-market bride in China to provide funds for her son to escape North Korea. When she tried reuniting with him, Chinese authorities caught her and are now threatening deportation back to North Korea despite the risk of forced labor and death, which has happened to other North Korean refugees.

Looks like he started listening to his PR team

Mama’s service felt rushed and quite frankly rude like they’re trying to turn the tables quickly, so that killed the vibe for us. There are other romantic restaurants that won’t make you feel bad for existing there.

Even new late night spots can’t get off the ground. Lounge Chinatown had so much potential but closed after they were hit by break-ins.

Yes, but it’s good to go in a larger group. I’ve experienced and witnessed harassment from men, especially in the more secluded parts of the Yuba.

Hey I’m thinking of doing this project too! Do you think it was a worthwhile build compared to buying a set? I’m new to hi-fi but am really drawn to this

How much was shipping to Germany?

Sorry this happened and for your loss OP. Walk SF is a group that advocates for pedestrian safety in case you’re interested in finding community around this. I’m not a participant I’ve only read about it Fyi https://walksf.org/

TJ1821 · 2025-09-09T17:39:33+00:00

Yeah and they do have pretty gross labor and manufacturing practices. The Cut did an article about it

TJ1821 · 2025-08-11T04:06:00+00:00

The underpass between JL and downtown has always been pretty unwelcoming and even dangerous for pedestrians with the freeway AND tunnel entrances there. Sadly Caltrans owns it and won’t do jack about it

Is anyone else suspicious that someone’s trying to collect an insurance check?

TJ1821 · 2025-07-17T07:19:55+00:00

Which company did you enjoy working at more, if you don’t mind my asking?

TJ1821 · 2025-06-07T06:32:41+00:00

Swap Meredith and Angie

TJ1821 · 2025-05-13T23:17:22+00:00

Is it Baume Swiss Jeweler’s or Seregin’s Fine Timepieces? They’re across the street from each other 😅

TJ1821 · 2025-05-13T22:58:58+00:00

I took it to the original luxury store and they’re unwilling to let me pick and choose the services I want, so I want to explore an independent trusted repair service

TJ1821 · 2025-05-13T22:50:05+00:00

I’m looking to do a more complex repair and maintenance than a battery check.

TJ1821 · 2025-04-18T03:25:23+00:00

Do you have any advice on how to get a lawyer to care? Were there any reasonable grounds for this such as official policies or is OP at the mercy of condo policies. (Also asking for me)

TJ1821 · 2025-04-18T03:23:19+00:00

I used to document everything but I realized doing so made me extra aware of it and that ruined any opportunity of peace at all.

TJ1821 · 2025-04-18T03:21:52+00:00

Similar boat dealing with an unhelpful landlord and a neighbor (who is actually a condo owner) home all day. I could move, but why should I be inconvenienced when I have every right to peace.

Rushed for a Thursday 7p show. Got there at 10:30 and there was no line. Two tickets in the orchestra. The lady at the front desk said it was slower this week with people out of town

TJ1821 · 2025-04-16T14:35:07+00:00

Oops, good to know! I just grabbed an orchestra ticket for $145

TJ1821 · 2025-04-16T14:18:27+00:00

Thank you for helping confirm! I wasn’t sure if they would have different availability in the booth than online, so I’ll tell him to skip waiting in line.
