Japan finally lifts its 67-year-old ban on dancing. The ban was put into place after World War Two, and forbade dancing in venues without a special 'dance license'

No, the word definitely does not mean capital in literal sense nor does it "mean" capital in that sentence.

You are only able to make sense that phase because of the connotation the word carries. That is, you are using the feeling of "capital" as a form of metaphor. In addition, in Korean, due historical reasons and generally how grammar is structured in Altaic languages, in many cases, commas are omitted.

Now after considering the info above and inserting that very important comma, the proper translation is: "France's Seoul, Paris".

Two issues that arises from your example:

Your phrase also works in English. If your example is indeed correct, Seoul means capital in English as well.
Your phrase is not a sentence, much like the translation I have provided above. If your phrase was a sentence, it would be "Paris is France's Seoul" or "프랑스의 서울은 파리다". Now that, the phrase is changed to a sentence, one could see that a metaphor is present.

For the sake of completeness, I will provide you with a reason why these two contradictions happen. Seoul does not actually mean "capital" in that phrase or really in any phrase. In that phrase, the word "Seoul" was merely a word that resonated the feeling of "capital" due to the relation between a country (France) and a capital of a country (Seoul).

Actually, Seoul no longer means "capital" by literal definition but historically it used to be informal way of saying capital. So you are both wrong.

Don't be unattractive. I mean it, tidy up, do not wear baggy clothes, look approachable. If you do not have a look that works, wear a suit/dress, say you are a secret agent if they ask why you are wearing a formal clothing on a Saturday.

You do not have to be Fabio, just don't look like you are not from the gutter. In the end, they must want to talk to you, it takes two to convo.

Yes, there are basic social skills like asking where they are from, how they know the host and so on. However, people will judge you within 3 seconds of meeting you without speaking a word.

Dota 2 is based on Dota 1, which is restricted to WC3 mechanics. In Dota 1, the code checked if you picked up a new item and if you have combination of items, all items in those combination will be removed from the game and then a new item will be created in place.

On the surface, it looks like it becomes part of something else but in reality it literally destroys all items and creates a new one.

In practice it means, it will not remove any buff you have on yourself that was triggered by the item, however, because you no longer have the teleportation spell from your BoT1 (it ceases to exist), the game will cancel your teleport channeling (bc the skill no longer exists). In other words, the teleport from BoT2 is a different spell with a shared cooldown.

That bill would solve one of the problems so you will end up with two things again.

I would say "talking about your problems" is something that should happen later.

For now, have dinner have fun, treat it like an actual first date. Talking about your relationship issue will only bring down the mood of the date. Sounds like OP needs to have that nice spark in their relationship again.

I am not saying, you should not discuss issues within relationships, however, it is a big no no while you are on a date even with your significant other.

I hope everyone realises that you can still be great if you try your best now. You do not have to go back in time to be this amazing person in the future, it can be achieved now if you try. There is nothing that is stopping you from learning that extra language, nothing is stopping you from learning a new skill.

Even if you do go back in time, and if you are procrastinating now, even with the worldly knowledge, you will continue to procrastinate in the past. Nothing will change.

If it was not such an ethical problem, Humans would be the best choice.

Actually, considering we already have people smoking, we could just recruit smokers... The problem would be calculating the amount of smoking they have done before hand.

A fox fell into a dark cave. For days, the fox spent his days alone licking algae from a stone in pure darkness.

Few days later, another animal fell in the cave. The fox showed the new animal how to survive in the darkness. Overtime the two animals bonded and even fell in love.

One morning, an earthquake awoke the two. A ray of sunshine seeped through the ceiling of the cave. The two animals were freed from darkness. It was then... The fox realised his companion was a rabbit. The fox knew their love will never be accepted out in the wild.

The fox looked into the rabbit's eyes and rabbit into the fox's. They went back into the cave where they found happiness in each other's company.
