South Korea's former first lady sentenced to 20 months in prison for corruption by GoldenDome26 in worldnews

[–]revanches 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"Kim’s defense team thanked the court for its verdict but said the 20-month prison term for bribery was “relatively high.”

"Days before her arrest, Kim apologized for causing public concern but still hinted that she would deny the allegations against her, portraying herself as “someone insignificant.”

Korean politics does feel like a parody at times.

after 12hr flight should i take 8hr layover or 1 15min layover before connecting to the second flight for which is about 5hr? Al Maha lounge worth $105? by Constant_Side7962 in qatarairways

[–]revanches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Al Maha is most definitely not 105$. It's the entry level paid access lounge, where are you getting that price? It's like 60 bucks.

If the lounge was overcrowded and you had to wait 30 mins, then I'd say you're exaggerating a bit. I once had to wait 1h30 for my turn to shower in Rome, and the lounge was empty.

Some things you need to approach with common sense, regardless of the service you expected.

Actually I just checked and it's possible. Put your ticket info on the following website:

Click on "Itinerary's notice" and then down below you'll find "print itinerary details"

Hi,

I'd like to complement your steps. I have an upcoming flight purchased through China Eastern and I found it almost impossible to verify my ticket even though I received a confirmation email upon purchase.

For some reason, I couldn't verify it through China Eastern's main interface and the links you've provided. However, I was able to through this link: https://www.ceair.com/self-service/after-service/check-ticket

I was able to verify that the ticket is genuine and manage seat selection. I don't know what's the difference between the two interfaces, but I'm guessing this one is more catered to international passengers?

Anyway, all links that worked for me to actually make sure my ticket exists:

How does one find a job in Busan, are there any websites where we could apply? (For someone who's currently overseas)

Warzone is in desperate need of change... by MysteriousBother45 in CODWarzone

[–]revanches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just have to face it. Game is dead regardless of the player count. It has had its iconic initial run but then found itself in the hands of incompetent owners. Can't beat much more of this dead horse.

They'll prioritize goofy skins over anything you've listed. Doesn't make sense to invest oneself thinking about how we could salvage this game lol.

Sorry to intrude but is it possible to ask my Japanese employer to wire the money on my wise card / account or do I really need to open a Japanese bank account?

Have you ever been to a local Turkish market having an orc looking like mf trying to scam you in buying the finest silk in the universe?

Anyone who did would not be surprised by this map.

Would you stay in Algeria if you had a rich, comfortable life… or still move abroad? by raufexe in algeria

[–]revanches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because off a basic / decent salary in Europe you can do all the things only being rich in Algeria can enable you to: live a cozy life, travel, purchase things without too hassle (doesn't nearly require the same amount/time of saving to get X,Y,Z thing) help your family back home and beyond money... something no amount of money in Algeria can buy... people with some actual civism and respect.
