In South Korea, the soldiers have a curfew imposed by the base and Korean government because of the high frequency of rape.

My personal experience with soldiers in South Korea and Japan have been... Mostly negative. They are arrogant shitheads most of the time.

All of that said, I understand that isn't a US policy issue, more than a military culture issue.

That is a completely made up number.

The corporation of the Mormon church does have absurd wealth and resources, tons of real estate, investments, etc, but estimates say it is worth between 100-300 billion in worth.

That's a lot, but definitely not trillions lol

When I think of all the horrible shit that goes on in the world, the thing that keeps me going is that Greta Thunburg is responsible for the Tates getting arrested. Life is wonderful sometimes.

I use proton VPN for torrenting. It doesn't show I've downloaded anything. I think that means my VPN is working? 😅

I used to keep a long one in my car, and used it to walk my dog if I happened to forget his leash. Upcycling!

anyone who has seen the news on this and kept their Disney+ subscription should be, for moral purposes, treated as someone who condones murder

Bro, not gonna lie, this is a bad take. My grandparents just want to watch their soap operas, my parents really like star wars.

It's like global warming. Blaming individuals for not recycling is not the move - taking action against huge corporations is the only realistic way to make change. By blaming random people, we end up looking like crazy people.

The people here who 1) think a breakup of Google will actually happen, and 2) think that a paid subscription model for a search engine have all been spending too much time in their Linux bubble.

If Google did this, everyone would just switch to Bing, or open AI's new thing they are making. The general public will not be on board with that.

Met a girl while being an English teacher in China. She was originally from New York. She had a very distinctive voice, very hard to forget.

Fast forward 10 years. I'm at the Santa Monica Pier playing Pokemon Go with my brother. Suddenly, THAT VOICE. I'm like... No... That isn't possible. I keep on walking.

We reach the end of the pier, and turn around. And BOOM. There she is. We make eye contact, and are both like wtffff.

Turns out she moved there to do a podcast or something.

Anyway cool shit
