Brutalist wall of concrete to help frame in the delicate sky colors

China - which considers itself as a 'near-arctic state' - has already used the Arctic route, and Beijing has been celebrating it for years, despite the warning by environmental scientists.

This one has way more impact though imo.

i think they wanted something creative and not using too much external objects. afaik this is the first time they run this contest

Holy shit competition was fierce

It's an award for the best cosplay, not the most effort put into a cosplay.

Korea has good taste.

Okay this is humorous, but I'm miffed that it won over other entries that were much higher-effort (many of which were also humorous).

Brilliant! I absolutely adore this hahah

Yeah, maybe I should let the LLMs suffer on my behest. That's what they exist for, eh?

I have the same issue with my name. For some reason, when I arrived here long long ago, the national health insurance wanted my name in Korean only, so they went ahead and Koreanized it for me. They didn't do the best job of it phonetically and it's still like that and I can't change it.

My kids took my long last name and have normal first and middle names, so they still run into issues. They both had to get pages added to their Korean passports because their name didn't fit on the first page.

Yeah very true, often the online forms trip over my name because it's too long, because I even have a middle name.

To ease this for my son I only gave him one name ^^.

Oh what I did last week, when with my drivers license I lost my credit card after we moved, was that I connected my phone to my computer and asked AI to connect to it like a developer would and take screenshots, read through them and navigate the bank app to change the adress to our new one, tell the bank I lost my credit card and then order a new one. It took half an hour of burning tokens but surprisingly it did it successfully unattended and I got my new credit card a couple of days later.

Anything in a government office as a foreigner is always pleasant and quick. Anything online as a foreigner however... It's getting better, but man, I've done some real head smashing against the wall trying to register for various things online here.

So Palantir is a go, Google partnership is expanding...Koreans being sold out by their corrupt business lobbies. Naver and Kakao aren't any better in their designs but at least they weren't part of the global Borg of US tech.

Korea should be working to establish tech independence with their highly educated, technical economy and society, not chaining themselves to the past with Zombie America.

Modern YouTube editors. This is the easiest and best joke

YouTuber: Editor, cut all of that

Editor note on three frames: I didn't >:)

Edutainment!

Herodotus never claimed to be writing the historical truth, just to be accurately recording the stories he was told in his travels.

"regular" is a weird descriptor here

Herodotus: The king fell off four million horses

In the Philippines, it's 3 overflowing cups of rice, salt, and water.

This fell a little flat for me. This seems like a case of someone having accidentally guided their algorithm to the most common denominator which typically leads to rage bait or sensationalism. I've seen just as much positive content about Korea as I have critical content. Furthermore neither seems extremely out of balance with similar content regarding other countries. But again maybe I interact with YouTube in a away the hasn't pigeonholed me into some echo chamber or sensationalist algorithm. With the exception of maybe content regarding the US which skews more negative.

That looks very pleasant

agreed. still haven't started running the air conditioner.. just hoping it continues

Don't jinx it, July isn't here yet

does it actually contain cannabis? i thought it was illegal lol

edit: searched a bit, seems like its legal because it doesn't contain thc. i can't find much about this specific product though, seems like it's not that popular..

Anyone going and want to meet up?
