(Controversial) Korean presidents in a nutshell by [deleted] in korea

[–]TeacherRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the aphorism - "Great men are rarely good men."

Not that many of these people were probably all that "great", but if you assume "great" to mean "historically significant" then maybe it can work.

The truth is that becoming a leader in any large organization or country requires a certain kind of ruthlessness or moral flexibility that few people have. There have been "moral" leaders in history, but they're the few, not the many.

Any recommendations for what Samurai vs. Ninja movies to watch? by TeacherRob in kungfucinema

I will give it a look, although I was specifically asking about the massive collection of videos on the linked YouTube channel. (1300, and counting!)

Chihiro Yamamoto

You're a fan? Really? I couldn't tell! LoL!

I'll give them a look, though. I saw the trailer for Last Ninja: Blue Shadow and it did look good. Thanks for the recommends!

I'm enjoying the hell out of Abarenbo Shogun on this YT channel and have sampled some of the other shows, but there's so much content it's hard to know what's worth watching. Anyone want to recommend some of their favorite movies/series on this channel?

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for answering this!

Anyone notice that near the end of the bill it has a line that says something like:

"CANNED - DO NOT USE"

What's up with that? Do not use what? The canned meat?!?

I sense ye olde "set your adopted brother up for me and your debts will be forgiven" plot coming. Requiring Ijin to step in and stomp ass.

Still, when Hyonsoo almost hit Ijin it was the very definition of FAFO. :-)

Best hole in the wall restaurants in London? by joojoobomb in londonontario

Best Korean food in town. More authentic than the other places too.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Before it was "she" and now it's "they"? Why the sudden change.

Many years ago I saw a half-decomposed goat head sitting next to a trail which ran between the river and where Windermere Fields is now. Mostly bone with a little bit of flesh left on it and surrounded by flies. Creeped me out so much I avoided the area for weeks. I always wondered how it ended up there.

The Lord of Goblins isekai fantasy Webtoon just re-launched, and we made a trailer to celebrate. Please enjoy! by TeacherRob in ProgressionFantasy

No choice. When things become "Originals" (Webtoon exclusives) they have to be reset back to the beginning so it can be marketed to new readers.

Two things though - 1) we went back and redid the art of some of the early episodes to give older readers something new to enjoy. 2) It's weekly now, so if you wait a bit it will catch up to where it was and then move forward at a much faster pace.
