I wonder what the odds are that I’ll be seeing this in my feed way more than I saw anything about Nepal. I’m guessing high. Just like how people who were mourning Dolly Parton and Tim Curry kept asking who the third person is going to be, while literally hundreds of people got killed in the same week in Nepal.

In February 2026, ROK’s National Assembly passed an amendment to its Criminal Act that expanded the country’s espionage law to include all “foreign countries” and not just “enemy states,” the Asia Today newspaper reported.

But still exclude the Five Eyes I’m sure. As someone not from China or the first world, this news story looks a lot like the Spider-man pointing meme. Although I’m willing to bet that the Five Eyes activities make China look like amateurs.

Also, there’s probably a lot less pedo nazi wannabes on the Chinese side.

Face, meet leopards. I know that having a female PM was soooo devastating for them that they had to elect right wingers to “defeat the woke” or whatever. But I guess they get what they deserve now.

Personally, my sympathy for people that hammer their own faces and then cry that it hurts, is at zero percent.

As a South African, there could’ve been at least some punishment for some people. Basically everyone was forgiven, and presented with the opportunity to learn lessons by themselves and evolve. And 32 years later, Afrikaner farmers are trying to convince Trump that there’s a white genocide and that they’re all precious little victims.

I know that conservatives have a hard time learning anything and doing any evolving (if they could they wouldn’t be conservative) but maybe it would’ve helped if at least some examples were made. Because ‘love and light’ and ‘forgive and forget’ didn’t work.

Famously, married couples were shown to sleep in separate beds.

First thing I thought of was Bert and Ernie.

Meanwhile Israel: “Palestine and Lebanon and Syria and Egypt and Iran are populated by subhuman animals that need to be eradicated like pests. And if you disagree, you’re anti-Semitic.”

Going by history, the US military doesn’t actually seem that great. Not the best military, just the richest. And if you can survive the initial shock and awe, it’s just a matter of wearing them down until Hollywood is making sob stories about shell shocked soldiers invading a foreign land that we’re all supposed to feel sorry for.

Didn’t the current NZ government make a completely unironic statement about “defeating the woke” when they were elected? With a completely straight face.

I’m not doubting that China do a little spying sometimes but I also find it funny that there’s suddenly been this increase in espionage from big bad China, right at exactly the same time that the wannabe MAGA 4chan edgelords took over.

I think maybe at least this serves as a good Aesop’s fable about how kissing up to and appeasing monotheists that think all the heretics / infidels not wearing the same funny hat should burn and suffer in hell for eternity because of it, will get you nothing but condemned to burn and suffer in hell for eternity anyway.

This is major leopards eating faces material. What the fuck else do people expect from the one god, one way, aggressive cancer religions. The world would be 1000% better without the big three monotheist religions spreading hate and misery while camping it love, like fucking abusers.

I’d also love to get some examples, seeing as it’s apparently such a scourge. I know that it sometimes happens but I’m struggling to think of enough examples for it to actually be this big issue like these people try and make it out to be.

Personally, I think that people who cry about the “historical accuracy” of an Ancient Greek myth, and the casting of a demi-god that hatched from an egg, need to fuck off.

I’m in a socially conservative country, in a smallish town populated by elderly retirees, families and dirt poor marginally educated people. In the days before people were scrolling conspiracy theories about George Soros and litter boxes for cat identifying kids in librul schools on Facebook and Twitter, I wouldn’t been a more open person. Now, they’ll only get to know my public deaf-mute alter ego and never know that I’m a vigilante lol.

I wish I was in a city where there’s a bigger chance of meeting others like you.

It’s a ceasefire with Israeli characteristics.

That seems like a promising app. I was using Librera for Android, which also handles just about every format and has a lot of settings to play with. But Readest seems like that, plus with a nicer, less clunky look and feel.

I would say it’s a subjective thing. Looking back at friendships that I had along the way, “deep and meaningful” conversations happen when you’ve sparked with each other enough to let the walls down and just talk about life, the universe without worrying that you sound like you’re high or whatever.

So I don’t think it’s something that can be forced either. It just happens when you meet someone on the same wavelength as you. Easier to come across in real life than social media because no one really talks one on one on social media. Or it’s rare. Reddit style platforms are generally good for the ‘deep’ part but not the connection part.
