Beware of the Boy Boy to Juche pipeline

Weed camps.

Yeah in South Korea the cops will harass you until you die if they think you're using illicit drugs, even if you're a famous celebrity.

For a society that seemingly loves alcohol so much they sure hate anything that could actually help you in any meaningful way (same with Japan, alcohol is adored but weed is somehow going to destroy society)

This is good news. The North-South reunification effort is just as much of a farce as the Two State Solution for Israel Palestine and it should have been abandoned sooner.

Power comes from the barrel of (an artillery) gun.

I think a lot of NK media is just drowned out by the barrage of low-effort anti-communist propaganda. It has to do with the country's lack of digital infrastructure compared to South Korea. You just can't spend the same amount of resources like capitalist shitholes like Japan and South Korea on soft power if you're under heavy sanctions so they choose carefully choreographed news pieces instead.

If technology can only be rationed to people who live in cities or on waiting lists then you can't post harder than a society where everyone has a phone and has been conditioned by decades of dictatorship and corruption to accept capitalist rule without question and have been trained to glamorize capitalism in literally every facet of their lives. Even in their depression and horrible pain like this article.

The BBC can point at the gaping holes of South Korea and call it "Confucianism haha" while those similarly sized holes in North Korea become proof of the failure of communism. "nonfalsifiable anti-communist orthodoxy"

I used to use Unsocial Media like Instagram to find trans+queer creators that I really liked but I had to stop because they kept getting shadowbanned off the platform. Once a queer person gets any sort of traction they face so much shit.

Sometimes I go on auto-pilot mode and upbear every post I see on a thread and then I have to go back an unbear the shit replies.

Send airborne shit packages to the target's location. The DPRK does PPB but in real life and that's why we love em!

Read the article next time.

It's a weird trend for parents to try and connect with their socially self isolated adult children by socially isolating themselves.

It's a little extreme sure, but sweet in a way.

Imagine how privileged you have to be to say this. Seems like you never grew any sort of empathy for people with mental health issues otherwise you'd know how unhelpful it would be for your parents to roleplay your depression using money and time that could have went to helping you.

Well Solution B is an honest capitalist free enterprise while Solution A is North Korean socialism propaganda. I mean, what's the point of mental health services to Occupied Korea if someone doesn't make bank on it?

The only thing connecting each tiny room at the Happiness Factory to the outside world is a feeding hole in the door.

If I wrote this in my novel I would be teased for being too corny, but to Occupied Korea this is just an average day.

I can't imagine how horrible it must be to be a shut-in and instead of anyone helping you materially they sell your parents a ticket to experience a superficial facsimile of your depression.

"In Korea, parents often express their love and feelings through practical actions and roles rather than verbal expressions,” Prof Jeong says.

“Parents financing their children's tuition fees through hard work is a typical example of a Confucian culture that emphasises responsibility."

Thank you sociology Prof Jeong Go-woon, see, this "loneliness" stuff is because Koreans are just a different race with a unique racial culture.

South Korea has some of the highest suicide rates in the world and last year, its government unveiled a five year plan aiming to address this.

Ministers announced there would be state-funded mental health check-ups for people aged 20-34 every two years.

Wow! 2.5 mental health checkups in 5 years! Why didn't I think of that?

In Japan, the first wave of young people isolating themselves, in the 1990s, has led to a demographic of middle-aged people dependent on their elderly parents.

More orientalism that is used in place of actual materialist analysis to subdue people. "Those dang Japanese and Good Koreans work too hard, it's in their blood"

The BBC should be beaten to death with a stick before it hurts more people.

liberals are mind confuzzling but they're also not. There's this one FOSS dev whose mastodon I skim through (for updates on projects he's leading) and today he's just boosting posts like "Trump was able to lie and not get fact-checked and Biden is just old" and "save American democracy" and I always thought it was weird until he made a post describing how he as a was born and raised in Alabama and was taught that there are heroes and villains and the villains want to take democracy away and the heroes (usually msm approved black radicals like Rosa Parks and MLK) gave us democracy.

He's surrounded by people with in their usernames so I shouldn't be surprised. It sucks because their USian liberal worldview permeates through everything and it always feels like you're being talked down to.

Buy a framework laptop. The earlier gen models are <1000 and you can always upgrade in the future. Their intel core ultra laptops can solidly play baldurs gate III and their AMD models as well.

You can get an older generation framework laptop, great Linux and Windows support and you can upgrade the computer down the line.

Aang's never taken a life except all the times that he did and never felt anything about it.

When the worst person you know is right type moment.

Proprietary antivirus software is a dirty bandaid they use instead of building sustainable supply chains on nonfree operating systems (because it's all about grifting and conning people out of money and gatekeeping computers).

But yeah this was done probably because kaspersky was disabling anti-features on Windows and was killing the competition. Kaspersky's full scale invasion of boomers' computers.

The veteran homeless thing always confused me. Like he's homeless and disabled, so society doesn't respect him at all. Is there some inherent understanding with boomers that the only way americans would respect their military is if they are a constant caricature of suffering?

Probably not, just self conscious brainworms.

TempleOS was ahead of its time, at least there you could communicate with god and not reading garbage in garbage out text.

Terry Davis would of went far if he understood that sins were a feature and not a bug.

"Have you seen what the insides of a goomba looks like luigi?"
