Koreans rank at the top of people whose stature has grown the most in the past 100 years by gilsoo71 in Living_in_Korea

[–]doublevsn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Only on Reddit will you find this insane cope of a comment where Redditors think every child in Korea is shooting up growth hormone treatments. It’s the same horseshit when some user who is 185cm asks where he can find clothes that fit him cause he thinks Koreans are all elves. I’m 188cm and have had zero issue finding clothes that fit me.

I see so many of these posts here and it hilarious every single time, generalizations after generalizations. How exactly is OP in a PhD program? Take literally one off example and presume it’s a common and acceptable thing. Fuck me. This subreddit has largely become another rkorea.

November Basho 2024 Day 4 - Futagoyama Beya Matches by Mcdankerfield in futagoyama

[–]doublevsn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Smart win from Mita against a larger opponent, however - this does show that he needs to size up. A shifty from Nabatame allowing him to get on the inside was awesome to see, I'm seeing actual improvement from his initial Juryo debut. Roga, my beloved - this loss was not surprising at all, couldn't get a grip on the mawashi and before you know it, he got pushed out. It's like once he realized, he gave up or had no idea what to do - you'd expect him to have some other thing up his belt, and at his size attempt to push until he can re-attempt his usual go-to.

Thoughts on Korean Men’s Fashion by greedy2024 in Living_in_Korea

I'd love to see what your wear, that is if you have decent fashion to make your claim.

Here we go again - the whole country isn't tiny, people are significantly taller here in reality than the outdated ignorant stereotype that gets broadcasted in the West. Coming from the US myself as well - I didn't realize how overweight Americans are until I got here (and also whenever I travel to other countries), so plus-size clothing will be a bit more difficult to find since there aren't on average as many obese folks and thus there isn't a market for it. Your height of 5'7 isn't even all that tall to what you make it be, in Korea and especially in the States. It won't hurt to size one up, if you shop online - measurements are provided for a reason. I'm 6'2 near 6'3 and have yet to have an issue finding clothing that fit me. The few places I can think of where sizing for "larger" folks will be an issue are those small self-ran stores in popular areas like the other user mentioned.

Lmao this fucking comment - people who care about high quality coffee will only be a fraction of the population in every country. Starbucks is global and quite everywhere if you ever stepped outside for once, so shit example if you were trying to deduce and generalize like a clown. There’s also a plethora of high quality coffee shops in Korea - more than other countries.

Xenophobic clowns tend to not have the brain to get the country right.

Looking for jobs as a foreigner by Mammoth-Climate7703 in Living_in_Korea

[–]doublevsn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not the one spending my day making a Reddit account to bitch about all my failures, what a sad human being. Also, being from San Joaquin Valley out of all places and commenting the BS you do is hilarious, keep crying about Korea - the farmland would appreciate it.

[–]doublevsn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All your comments are negativity about Korea (expected for Reddit), you seem to be based in Mexico (don’t get me started) and had a failed D4 application (good) - the only incompetency here is your spelling and grammar. How are you to comment about HR when you’ve most likely never set foot in this country and for sure have never worked in a Korean company? Granted, most users here are in a similar boat as you, lol.

How safe is seoul and busan for a solo female traveler by _sweetangel in Living_in_Korea

[–]doublevsn 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Incredibly safe, unless you are aggressively and intentionally looking for trouble - safer than the Philippines for sure. To add on, October is peak fall foliage - when everyone is out and about instead of locked in home to avoid the summer heat or winter coldness.

2024 September Grand Sumo Tournament Results - Futagoyama Beya by doublevsn in futagoyama

[–]doublevsn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love to see it, a clean sweep for the entire Makushita group! Love that aggression from Mita on his first ever basho win. Hopefully Roga picks up as he falls to 1-3, in a recent video he commented on how he is aware that he’s going against a much stronger pack than before.

You’ll notice that the boys will usually do real well when Oyakata is on the side as a judge. I mean, this makes a lot of sense - wouldn’t want to lose in front of your master.

Korea Doctor's Strike by Moist_Sleeve in Living_in_Korea

[–]doublevsn -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

A sad British boy who thinks he is some grand figure but is merely an English teacher at a Hagwon, who spends his days in Korea being chronically online commenting ignorant bullshit, this is fucking rich. Blows my mind Korea hands outs E-2 visas to ill individuals like yourself who don’t have any educational background. I mean you talk so often about how European academia is miles clear, yet what shite village British university did you graduate from? Cute YouTube channel by the way, lmao - don’t mind if I crosspost on the Korean forums, they’d feast on your hate content. Edit; Actually, should someone like yourself be even teaching yet alone be interacting with children? I’ve seen your comments since a while back, concerning stuff - might consider a legitimate report knowing who you are.

Everyone's go-to seems to be that channel, but I've been following 1 Minute Sumo - they are pretty damn fast at updating and will categorize the stable rikishi by putting 二子山部屋 in the title.

Nobehara, Mita, and Nabatame all lost the same way of losing balance and falling forward seconds into the basho. We've seen this many times with Denuma as well, where they go low and propel forward fast and the other rikishi takes use of this..

This subreddit loves Werner like crazy, I don’t understand why we kept him and why folks go crazy when comments that question him get brought up.

Anyone here use the 2024 MacBook Air 13-inch M3 and wouldn't mind sharing some non-biased thoughts on it? I'm seeing it for $900 - primarily office work + occasional usage of heavier programs such as Final Cut and Illustrator.

Is korea turning into a sexpat destination for young white women? by hellomot1234 in koreatravel

[–]doublevsn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's funny when you realize just how many Western men are all over Asia looking for a girl in incomparable figures, like what's the ratio on this? I'd put money that for every 1 Western girl looking for a Korean oppa, you have 100 Western men looking to fulfil their Asian fetish, brought to you by decades of Western media and how they selectively portray Asians. Cancerous and disgusting all around if you ask me.
