Imagine having such a tense relationship with your only neighboring country. Must suck pretty badly. Not being able to focus entirely on progressive stuff, but just preventing war all the time, almost.
Besides that, why are they even so close to the border in the first place when they know guns will be fired?
Very preferential, I would say. I use a larger view ever since my app started supporting swipe gestures to vote and reply and such. 👆 Then everything doesn’t need to be so close together and close to my thumb anymore.
That is also my general understanding about hatred and neophobia/xenophobia in general. It’s the lack of understanding and fear or the unknown that fuels it.
It’s only evolutionary, to be afraid of the other. It’s what’s kept us alive for millennia. Thousands of millennia. Our society is evolving faster than our brains, unfortunately. We need to educate better.
I mean, if the south side was doing the same shit? Why are they crying now? I genuinely don’t get it. Just playing devil’s advocate to expand my understanding here.
Edit: Please have a conversation with me instead of down voting. Let’s not be another reddit. I said I’m saying this just to understand. 👍
True. It’s disrespect from both sides though, even though we outsiders consider only the north to be ridiculous. Are the South side trying to enlighten the North’s people or something? What was the agenda there? Like, the larger agenda.
I like how everyone agreeing with me gets up votes, but I get a million down votes, lmao.
But yeah. Us non-North Koreans obviously favor what the South is doing more than the North, and North knows it’s full of shit and their propaganda won’t work so they just send garbage and shit. But still. Both sides should stop.
Exactly my point lol. It’s funny how the ones agreeing with me in the comments get up votes but I get obliterated. 😆 Lots of redditors did migrate here after all, huh. 💀
I guess it proves humans as a whole are focusing more on screens, books, and other short visions tasks
For me it tells me that nature is not selecting good vision anymore. We are fixing our vision on the side of evolution. If this trait is easy to pass on, it doesn’t take many generations.
A near-sighted hawk will never survive to live even a short life beyond its childhood nest. But we have glasses…
Humanity will only suffer more and more ailments as medicine gets better and better, is my prediction. As long as the afflicted individuals have time to breed before dying.
I’m only a layman though. Evolution isn’t my field. I might be talking out of my ass.
This goes against everything I thought I understood about natural selection and evolution.
My understanding was that evolution is based on small, random mutations in genes, occurring constantly, and any beneficial changes will most likely cause that individual to thrive better than others, causing nature to “select” that gene.
But the notion that our eyes would “respond to the environment” and somehow cause the next generation to also have myopia… Wouldn’t that necessitate that our eyes have some sort of feedback loop that connects to our reproductive system so that we can pass that on? I don’t see any other way around other than this occurring from the lack of natural selection.
Honestly, the idea behind designer babies is pretty dope IMO. But only if you take away the bad stuff like diseases and deformities and stuff like that, for the sake of the individual to be born. It gets weird when (most likely, if possible) they’ll start to offer babies to order. Like, “what would you like, madame? A professional athlete? Musical prodigy? Please select from our menu, or we can arrange a meeting with our custom-embryo designer for the premium deluxe package.”
That would be a pretty cool option. Then you could buy a PC that you know will play coming PS5-to-PC games really well, or whatever console’s games you’re looking to play.

The cynic in me is like, what if these lawyers are strategizing like that? They know that if many people make the same claim it builds a stronger case.
But the logical part of my brain says HMMM…, how plausible is that, really.

So according to this logic, two negatives makes a positive? Israel wouldn’t deserve funding on its own, nor Ukraine, but together they should? How does that work, exactly? I’m lost.
I don’t judge, but cooking exclusively in a microwave… 🤢 Personally, no thanks. I’m guessing/hoping you didn’t cook steak and stuff like that in there.
I can consider something is gross without judging them for eating it… People make meat cakes out of mosquitos and fry them on hot stones and eat that as food. Crickets, beetles, stuff like that. That’s fucking nasty as shit to me 🤢🤮🤮, but I don’t judge, because perhaps it’s what’s available. Or because they like it. You never know what situation OP is in.
I hoped, for their sakeif they are like me taste wise (didn’t think I’d have to be explicit about this), that they didn’t make microwave steak. Me personally? I don’t give a shit what OP eats. I’m not eating their dinners. But for their sake, I hoped.
