I called this user out a couple weeks ago for spreading blatant, seemingly obvious misinformation. I replied with citations from reputable sources and they accused me of cherry picking. It was a really weird exchange and even weirder was the topic was really inconsequential. Like, why even lie about something so menial?

Anyway, I noticed he was a bit of a poweruser, so I think them posting all the time will be missed, but there’s really no excuse to abuse your status to spread lies.

While the ISPs are being greedy, because the major three compete against each other, internet is cheap. I pay around 25usd/month for giga and basic cable in Seoul.

It sounds like a noir, private eye name. Dick Armey is weirder though.

Not true. Plenty of other counties voted for Beshear than Jefferson and Fayette. Check out the election map

No pun intended?

The problem was that it wasn’t organized. It was just the first Halloween in Itaewon since COVID and the police didn’t plan for there to be such a big turnout. The annual foreign food festival was held a few weeks before Halloween, and the district office closed down the main streets to hold it. They should’ve did the same for Halloween, but hindsight is 50/50 or whatever.

That’s the thing: most of them are not willingly there. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied, South Korean men.

Reminds me of this video where a shirtless Chinese fella is wading in a giant pool of kimchi. The video led to a Korean boycott of Chinese kimchi, which is commonly served in greasy spoons across Korea.

Simmer down naw!

Or, ya know, just explain in the post description why it’s relevant to post a 26 year old article. Lots of lazy folk just read the headline and think that it’s current events… but you know that, don’t you?

Then maybe post the link as a reply in the current news post or at least explain why you’re posting a 26 year old article on a world news sub.

Ah, there it is. My skimming ain’t what it used to be. Stay in school, kids!

Article from 1997. Seems like OP is trying to push a narrative, but I guess the sidebar doesn’t say posts have to be current news.

Do what now?

You can buy unlocked phones of other brands like Google or Xiaomi on the Korean equivalent of Amazon (Coupang), but they’re substantially more expensive. I’d bet you can get Chinese brands at the little mom and pop shops that cater to Chinese students and immigrants.

The brands you mentioned aren’t widely available in Korea. Since LG left the market, all the carriers, to my knowledge, only offer Apple or Samsung devices.
