And “ko” is the first sound in “ko-re-an”. But we just take the first letter.

Just like “ja” is the first sound in “Japanese” but it’s also “jpop”.

But also back-heavy which counteracts that efficiency gain.

Why would the H be included?

I can’t believe they let this happen. Wasn’t this why we gave away all of these rights? To further disenfranchise minorities?!

I typically enjoy the subject matter rug pull at hour 4 of his video essays. But they only really start getting good at season 3 of the same video.

I was speaking aspirationally, as a member of the species. If we could just get our priorities right (as a species) maybe we could outsource pointless, painful, dangerous labor to robots. Instead of throwing foreign children at it by the handfuls because it’s cheaper, where the lucky children get to survive the mine collapses that killed their sister and friends.

This ire isn’t pointed at you, as the person who prompted the response. It’s just peeled the skin off an abiding and yet aimless bitterness. I can only really be angry at the worst of human behavior, and that’s not something I can kneel beneath a guillotine.

I just saw something about a child traumatised while working in a mica mine.

Meanwhile bipedal robots are doing spinning double backheel kicks on camera and taking scenic walking trips across the Chinese countryside.

The priorities feel wrong.

Thats not what they said.

You’re the one assuming things I never said. I asked how many they had at one time. Obviously, that entails ownership of cats distributed over time.

I’m sorry but 15 cats is a lot of cats. It’s a bit doxx-y (so feel free not to answer) but how many were you housing at one time?

Too far of a reach, for me. There’s no way a baker finished inseminating his bakewife and was struck with an epiphany: “what if this…but a pastry?!”

The others are (debatable) etymologies and then you flip the order to make a horny baked good. Goon appropriately; be better.

I don’t love the cat. We’re housemates.

I don’t smell the cat’s breath because we’re not close like that. I’d appreciate it if you stayed away from my cat as well.

This feels like a shitpost that idiots misappropriated as a real method.

Why would you want a method based on a famously developmentally-challenged child? It isn’t “dogged perserverance despite setbacks”; it’s “he’s literally too stupid to evaluate his process and teach himself a better way to solve even the simplest tasks.”

I don’t think making her yet another dynasty would fix the Sequel series in any way.

Yeaaah, even if you pirate stuff it’s weird to try and flame the media’s direct producers. Blu-ray isn’t a middleman in the same way streaming services are. It sounds entitled to say “go fuck yourself, paid media” as if they are holding back content you deserve.

That feels like a bad SDW. Can you explain the reason(s) for going with a scalpel?

It’s mocking people that engage in bad-faith ideological debates.

Avocado is an essential ingredient in making guacamole, but, by “banning” its mention in the discussion and consequently stymying the opponent, the first figure is assuming and posturing as if they won a legitimate debate.

Which is so obviously false as to be humorous.

I need to take a shower. I thought the headline was talking about actual drills, and I could only think “what in the Dr. Evil plot could this mean?”. As if China was going to drill through the ground and dig up Taiwan.

You’re talking about the people who scheme their way to power.

I’m just saying there are definitive qualities that good leaders need. The correct mixture of self-assurance, insight, and humility to ask for guidance on the best way forward and stick to it without crumbling. A “leader” is an organizational role and their proper skillset is in setting the course and ironing put inter-departmental communications so everyone can do what they need to.

But I realize we are straying further and further from your initial comment about populist leaders, like those currently in power.

I’m sure you mean “there isn’t an ability threshold where you deserve to be a monarch”.

But it does sorta read like “no one ever won a race by being the fastest, they win the race because everyone else is slower”. There are qualities that predispose people to leadership.

[I do realize I’m being a bit pedantic]
