This is incredible, although do we have sources that say it was an Israeli attack? I highly doubt Hezbollah would want to attack a UN force, but the article points the finger at them.

One country, two systems in action

I think Twongo was referring to China whilst you are thinking about the US.

You have done wonderful. You know how to speak to your class in a way that they’ll listen, and you have their respect. Even if you choose to retreat in the face of these personal and psychological attacks, you won’t lose the ear of your peers.

Whatever you choose to do, I’m sure you will have made the right choice. Sending you lots of love.

To add a bit of practical advice, I would recommend audio recording your conversations with admin. Their harassment is truly unethical, and any reasonable person would be appalled by the evidence. You don’t have to release the audio (especially if your state makes it illegal), but it may still prove useful for MAD.

The very same WSJ warned about rolling blackouts from data center power demand.

The Independent article in https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10367964 directly links to https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/power-grid-ai-data-centers-1235f296 (https://archive.ph/EXhdH)

Disagree. How do you think we should be promoting socialism in our lives? I think this episode of US imperialism is a great opportunity to talk to our relationships about politics. After all, we need more people to subscribe to our ML vision for a revolution to happen.

For reference, CBS & YouGov from Nov 25th found that 30% supported and 70% opposed “US taking military action in Venezuela.” I don’t think these poll numbers really show a significant shift in support for the US strike.

An openly communist subreddit? Where have I seen this before…

In all seriousness, I’m glad to hear there’s an ML sub. As others have mentioned, most others get banned or end up as left/right deviants.

It’s very possible I misremember what my friends said; I’ll check on them later. My two Korean acquaintances both grew up largely in the US, so that may have also colored their perception.

I am by no means casting judgement on South Koreans for any thing I mentioned. If anything, I believe its the American occupation that has had a largely malign influence on South Korean society, including the treatment of women.

Uhh I’ll fiddle with this later and figure it out. Thank you for the help.

I don’t think that works with numbered items :(

I think RoK overall faces a lot of horrible misogyny. For the Burning Suns scandal, some of those idols have been convicted, and they got off relatively light IMO. Seungri ended up pleading guilty to all charges in exchange for 18 months in prison.

In addition, I’ve heard anecdotes from South Korean friends who say that the men are incredibly pushy, won’t say no, etc. Also, the beauty standards are something else. Plastic surgery is very common. Women are expected to wear make-up in public. Even my Korean friend who never wears make-up in the US would go through the effort every day when they were visiting.

Yes, being a “trainee” is pretty brutal. For those that make it and debut, some (many?) of their contracts stipulate that the idols don’t get paid until their company believes they’ve earned back their training costs. In fact, if an idol leaves before that time, they are obliged to pay back the company for their training. Going solo is the ideal.

It’s as you say; K-pop has become more and more of a commodity.

Also, how do I get new lines between numbered/indented paragraphs? The only way I found to work was to use  , but that gives three line breaks.

Has anyone been able to verify the claims that Soroka Medical Center is close to the IDF C4I HQ? https://xcancel.com/araghchi/status/1935684685666963780#m I wanted to find and share some more Western acceptable sources, but even Aljazeera only frames it as claims from Iran: https://aje.io/ac1txh?update=3786132

It should go without saying, none of this negates that fact that Israel places military targets in population centers or that Israeli citizens are trapped in the country as human shields.
