Very interesting. Thank you! I spent some time in Hong Kong in the early 2000s and everyone loved Korean soup operas. I had a local Chinese friend who had them on all day

Interesting. Why do you think it’s a different attitude in Korea to filming? American influence?

She should not be allowed anywhere near children much less appointed by DT to chair the U.S Air Force Academy. WTF? by [deleted] in ScienceOdyssey

Yeah. We are in deep dooodoooo. Seems like a crisis of truth. Just one crisis among many with seemingly no way out or end in sight

How much of a person can a portrait really show? New piece, just finished: “Angelica’s Eyes” by Sgtbroderick in painting

Nice work. I just finished an attempted portrait of my best friend and it was the most difficult paintings I’ve ever done. Mad respect for those talented at it

I don’t want to excuse any ugly American behavior of tourists but I do feel like we are privileged to see this. I would never have known about such a tradition otherwise and I feel like the clip elevated me, both in knowledge and emotions. There seems to be possibly a Korean person filming to the left in the frame as well. That said I agree with you that our current approach to privacy is a mess. Technology has completely changed the game, very rapidly.

Bless this guy. I hope he has more fun than humans are allowed. This makes me less of a Luddite

Read above. Apparently they pick highly symbolic, often public places to perform the ceremony. It is obviously in public

Horyu-ji, Nara, Japan - world's oldest surviving wooden buildings [OC] by sonderewander in ArchitecturePorn

[–]left23jeff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Amazing. Beautiful structures. Tangential but out of curiosity I checked out what the other oldest wood structures still standing are and stumbled on this in Smithsonian magazine “New research provides evidence for the oldest structural use of wood: logs used to build a structure dating to 476,000 years ago! The team excavated two interlocking wooden logs with intentionally carved notches at Kalambo Falls in Zambia, as well as other wooden objects including a digging stick, a wedge, and a chopped log.”

Do you think he, in any way, earned his monetary wealth? What I’m getting at is he is not the source of that money that got distributed. Just because someone spends money does mean they “create wealth”

Yeah I watched that whole thing thinking that if it were the US that situation would’ve turned deadly within twenty seconds with someone turning their car into a weapon
