Sorry if I didn’t explain it well. What I mean is that dprk considers itself the “true” government of the Korean peninsula, and their terminology generally reflects this. Due to the functional reality of the ongoing conflict, “South Korea” is used often. Though it’s used rarely, “North Korea” (literally north, functionally “unoccupied” or “free”) does still show up occasionally in language.

Nerd sniped me enough to look it up. Both countries use different names for “all of korea.” While the north generally refers to itself with the same term as all of korea, there are some contexts where there is a “north Korea” used.

Should have rotated the other way so the sun scrolls satisfyingly top-to-bottom.

I know I’m bad at a lot of things… It only takes practice and hard work to tell if I can develop beyond that.

Even then, “tough guy” culture includes “tough guy” tattoos, and cop is one of the top “tough guy” jobs, so there’s a strong correlation there.

And yet you used sand to transmute this missive into the aether. Curious!

Plus we can imbue crystals with thought and knowledge by inscribing them with complex runes and commanding them in a special language.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you here. 18- and 19-year-olds are still teens. say what you will about being adults, but semantically (if nothing else) they are still teens.

I complain about saturation representation and you reply with a hue-lightness flag. Smh my head.

Yeah, this flag only shows saturated hues. This is unsaturated erasure.

Be mindful: this is a common cop trick to manufacture consent.

That’s true, but children are like little predators waiting for anything to make your life miserable. The first time a teacher stumbles on your name, that’s your entire identity for YEARS. How happy are you going to be with your name after that?

I have never heard the name before.

There’s your sign. The other is whether 95% of people can confidently pronounce it correctly up on reading it.

To further clarify, his big PB-scale servers are for hosting their archive of raw footage.

There’s a lot of complicated forces at play, and this isn’t in my particular field of expertise, but inflation is basically when the supply of money increases, but the actual supply of things money can buy doesnt keep up.

Think of an (extremely oversimplified) economy: one person farms, and another person raises cattle. They’ve agreed to use red rocks to symbolize trades, due to the fact that the rancher can work all year, but the farmer only provides produce with the harvest seasons.

One year, each person finds an extra cache of red rocks, but the extra currency doesn’t actually allow either individual to farm or ranch any more. Each one knows that the rocks are more plentiful, and so less valuable. The rancher expects more rocks for his meat, because he knows he’ll need more rocks to buy produce.

The two main ways that currency is created (again, within my limited knowledge) is through minting and fractional reserve banking. There’s plenty of explanations for either, so I’ll gloss over. On the other hand, inflation can occur if production decreases, or even fails to increase as fast as expected.

Buckle up, I’m sure this thread will be full of reasonable and internally consistent opinions.

What? A dick?

Gonna be honest, my brain farted while being flippant. “Financial exploitation” to refer to extracting robux from users. I used “slavery” to refer to uncompensated or undercompensated underage labor relating to development…

Don’t forget the slavery and financial exploitation!
