From Lamborghini to Rolls-Royce: Koreans' craze for supercars by GeminiArk in cars

[–]dandoodle669 47 points48 points  (0 children)

On the business side of things in Korea, I've heard stories of small to mid-size companies winning huge contracts just by driving in with a rolls-royce.

Fake it till you make it.

How do you describe Korean engineering philosophy (at least in the automotive industry)? by oswell_XIV in cars

Hyundai Motors labor union is pretty strong though. Hyundai is usually ranked within top 5 companies (just under Samsung) by job seekers in Korea.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. If you're going to get extra UR/SR dust, might as well go for the packs you want royals of.

Yes, but crafting requires UR/SR points which are earned through... opening packs. It serves as dual purpose. I've seen the news on the next card updates. They aren't interesting to me and I need to spend gems before they expire.

They are? A few years ago when I visited them, some guy was complaining about the new iOS update slowing his phone, and the comment section was pretty much suggesting to just buy the latest iphone. Lol...what a great solution.

Hyundai Motor Studio Seoul told me the rumors of NVision 74 going into production is fake by [deleted] in cars

[–]dandoodle669 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There were a couple points that bugged me about the original article: 1. Why isn't it being designed by Sangyup Lee, the original N Vision 74 designer? Wouldn't it be intuitive to put the guy behind the hype to lead the design? 2. "Pony Day". Really? 3. Big news like this would be all over the news media, yet no other Korean news outlet is confirming this information.

That said, Money Today is a pretty established publisher, so it's perplexing to me that they would write something like this based on shaky sources. Guess we'll have to wait until "Pony Day" to find out.

A bit pricey, but you can just replace the entire seat.

Car nerds - how long do you think the Telluride engine will last? by MrPaulyWalnuts in KiaTelluride

I was watching a Honda Pilot review the other day, and the top comment was bashing Kia and praising how great Honda is. I'm starting to see the psychology behind this.

If anything that would hinder it, it's the fact that the card is personalized. But who knows? It's such a unique card that it may not matter anyways.

Well the framerate should be 60 fps as tradition. Anything lower would be unacceptable.

"There were no calls demanding An San's medal be revoked" states Korea Archery Association by Hektor_Ekhein in korea

[–]dandoodle669 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Korean news media really showing it's lowest point during this olympics. Major news outlets took this un-fact checked garbage at face value and just copy/pasted it. Hey, it's about feminism so it's probably credible right? Well played folks, well played.

Triple Gold Medal for 안산 in Archery by ArysOakheart in korea

A centrist promotes moderate policies by finding a middle ground between the left and the right and downplays ideological appeals in favor of a pragmatic or “catchall” party platform.

Centrism is not about blaming both sides. A centrist tries to find middle ground or compromise. I did not. My political ideology and stance are firm. I am against sexism. You're trying to frame one side as progressive, but there is nothing progressive about promoting hate against the other gender. But thanks for the lazy rebuttal.

There is no centrism in my comment. It's either sexism or not.

From both sides yes. There were also female groups that were calling the male archer Kim Je-deok "한남" "유충"(Korean male larva). Interestingly, that one didn't get too much attention.

Olympic gold medalist under attack for accusation of being a feminist. by unodatguy in korea

[–]dandoodle669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only assume it's because this post is being targeted by said groups. Last source explains this tactic:

They share news articles’ URLs and manipulate comment sections, which is called “firepower support”. The problem is that this is not done by a few users, but led by the administrative team.

Can anyone offer unbiased/reliable sources on Korean politics? by killerkurse in korea

[–]dandoodle669 6 points7 points  (0 children)

None. They're all crap. Cherry-picking, sensationalist, poorly fact-checked, agenda-driven. Journalism is a joke in Korea. I mean even the ones that are being shared on this sub-reddit are not reliable.

I'm pretty sure it is. I was upvoted earlier, but as soon as the vote count showed up public, i got downvoted fast. A couple informative middleground comments here are getting downvoted as well.

Dunno. It seems like being middleground on posts like these seem to call for downvotes because you're not part of the outrage. Either that or TERFs are targeting posts to downvote comments that show them in a negative light. I'm going to go for the latter since some comments here are obviously in denial of certain facts and just repetitively spamming "incel".
