I worked at a couple of startups and every single one was a success with good exit strategies, and we had good work-life balance. His view is factually false.

There is no incarnation, this is the only life you have and it's up to you to make is as good as you can. Externalizing and blaming others for everything does not get you far.

There is no afterlife, no nirvana, no reincarnation, you just sense to exist. Until then make an impression on the universe.

Why hasn't any other country done it?

I'm not banned, I was banned in r/Korea for posting a link to my own peertube instance but nowhere else.

I just don't feel that me trying to make some rich guy even more rich makes a lot of sense when they behave so shitty to us.

My wife is in a group chat with other moms who have a foreigner husband. There is one who she calls 'very left leaning' who was cheering for it and there is another one who she says she didn't show her leaning before, but that this one cried today and decided that they can't stay in this country anymore because of how this went.

I'm a bit oblivious but I have also heard from my wife similar things about the Lee guy that he is pro China and pro North Korea, my wife leans to center conservatism.

From what I understand the two party system in Korea is even worse than the one in the US, it's really not about trying to fix the problems which the country really has like the demographics and what follows of them, but instead it's old guys only fighting for power, disregarding most other things.

Yeah, we don't have versioning yet because there are so few instances and it's a rolling release so to say. So most people update just every now and then. Most of the admins are in a matrix chanel together also.

I've been running my one person instance for 8 month or something ;)

I think it's good that PieFed is so small, that means they can move faster and innovate more without fearing that things will break for thousands of people. I think it's good that a project like PieFed can try things and see what works and sticks and this is then a good indicator for projects like Lemmy to copy what is good and leave out what is not good.

This post is not about Mbin, only about Piefed (not Piefied).

Don't try to tell people what they can or can not talk about in this thread while disregarding it yourself.

 
 

Our boy turned two and during the last weeks he has trouble falling asleep. He always went to sleep at 9 which was already late. But now he just doesn't fall asleep sometimes until 11.

Even when we try to bring him to bed at 8 it takes also two to three hours for him to fall asleep.

He only let's his mom bring him to bed and then she stays there with him until he falls asleep. Sometimes he asks for me additionally to join and then he rolls in the bed kicks us, climbed on us and so on because he can't fall asleep.

More often than not we fall asleep first and only then he falls asleep. He doesnd go out of the bed or anything just can't fall asleep.

Any tips what worked for your children?

 

Me and two friends had "classic movie nights" for a couple of years before I moved away. We would watch something which is considered a classic and it had to have been released before 2000. We watched only those which none of us three have seen before and we would watch it like once every two months or so. Movies like:

  • M
  • Gone with the Wind
  • The Godfather
  • Taxi Driver
  • Murder on the Orient Express
  • One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
  • Rear Window
  • Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
  • Chinatown
  • Le Grande Bouffe
  • L'Avventura
  • Tengoku to jigoku
  • etc.

It was a ton of fun and we talked about the movie before, what our expectations are and after just generally and each of us would give it a IMDB star rating.

Now sadly my friends live 9 time zones away, so we can't really do that anymore. But I was thinking to try to convince my wife to do this classic movies night with me. Right now she is reluctant because English is her 4rth language and especially older movies are using language differently too, but one day she will give in :D.

Anyway, now that you know the rules, what movies do you think I still missed and should watch?

 

Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from jail Saturday, a day after a court's ruling that allowed him to stand trial without physical detention over his failed bid to impose martial law in December.

However, impeachment and criminal trials against Yoon will continue.

 

Donald Tusk told parliament on Friday that if Russia took control of parts of Ukraine, then Poland would find itself in a “difficult geographical situation.”

He said: “We are preparing large-scale military training for every adult man in Poland. Our goal is to finalize the plan by year’s end to ensure a well-trained reserve force ready for potential threats.

“If Ukraine loses the war, or if it accepts the terms of peace, armistice, or capitulation in such a way that weakens its sovereignty and makes it easier for Putin to gain control over Ukraine, then without a doubt—and we will all agree on this—Poland will find itself in a much more difficult geopolitical situation.”

Talking to reporters, Tusk later clarified that he was not announcing a resumption of basic military service.

“If I were proposing a return to basic military service, I would say so. We have several models. One of the most appreciated ones is the Swiss model,” he said, adding that in the latter system training is “not compulsory, but there are incentives that cause men to opt for annual training.”

 

Two South Korean fighter jets accidentally dropped eight bombs on a village near the inter-Korean border during a live-fire drill Thursday morning, injuring at least 15 people and damaging several buildings.

Two people were seriously injured, while 13 sustained minor injuries, according to fire authorities at around 2 p.m. Of the 13, 10 people were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

One person, 60, was seriously injured via shrapnel embedded in their neck, and was transferred to Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital, where they underwent surgery. Another person suffered a shoulder fracture.

Five of the 13 injured were identified as soldiers, military officials later added. Two others were foreign nationals: one person from Thailand and one from Nepal.

As all eight of the bombs detonated, seven civilian facilities, including homes, a cathedral and a greenhouse, were damaged, fire authorities said. Authorities continued to assess the extent of the damage throughout the afternoon. Residents were told to evacuate the area.

 

Police will deploy all available resources to prevent any potential civil unrest on the day of the Constitutional Court’s ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, which is expected later this month.

The plan follows a January incident at the Seoul Western District Court, when far-right conservative protesters supporting Yoon stormed the building, leading to physical confrontations with police and damage to property. As the nation is sharply divided over the president’s impeachment, concerns are rising that those who are against the verdict may turn violent.

Previously, when Park Geun-hye's impeachment was confirmed on March 10, 2017, a protest by her supporters resulted in four deaths. The deaths were attributed to pushing by the crowd, heart problems and a falling speaker.

 

Damn, that would make things so much easier. In Sweden at my company we always had written language English but once we hired a bunch of foreigners suddenly without even coordinating it we all switched to verbal English communication too. There was always someone in the group who didn't speak Swedish.

Here in Korea, it's tough no matter if it's a small company like mine or a big one. When I worked at a customer, a big automotive supplier, the German guy who was high up in the company told me that he would hire me but the company is just not ready to hire people who don't speak Korean. He himself didn't speak it but he had a personal translator/assistant who would translate all his written and verbal communication.

People in the comments are asking if the definition of the word "neven" has been changed or what's going on.

Egentligen bodde det vara i News men det känns mer som en meme.

 

"The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent," he added. "Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate. When that happens, we'll be fine as an industry."

Needless to say, we haven't seen anything like that yet. OpenAI's top AI agent — the tech that people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman say is poised to upend the economy — still moves at a snail's pace and requires constant supervision.
