@EpicClipVault All restaurants should require prepay. I don't understand why they don't. We prepay for everything else we use in life.

I know I talk about Singapore related stuff most of the time but this piece of news was pretty cool to see
Starbucks just closed ALL of its 2,160 stores in Korea
When I saw the news, I thought it has to be clickbait - because I haven't seen it reported anywhere else
But turns out it was true lmao
Here's the story:
> Starbucks Korea ran a “Tank Day” promotion on 18 May to sell new “Tank” tumblers
> What they didn't know was that specific date (18 May) is the anniversary of the 1980 Gwangju pro‑democracy uprising, when a military crackdown unalived at least 165 civilians and likely many more
> The campaign’s name and imagery evoked tanks used in the crackdown, which many people saw as deeply disrespectful to victims and their families
> Starbucks Korea then saw NATION WIDE boycott and was forced to shutdown all their stores to send staff for "history" training
> CEO of Starbucks Korea was also fired
The learning here for me is that it really goes to show how important cultural sensitivity is - especially in an Asian context
I feel fairly confident (or I hope) that Starbucks didn't do this on purpose and was probably just a stroke of bad luck
tl;dr Learn your history

South Korea’s New Trend: “Full-Time Children” ❗️
More and more South Koreans aged 19–34 are moving back in with their parents. In exchange for housing and financial support, they cook, clean, care for their parents, and handle household chores full-time.
The reason is simple: housing costs are sky-high, and jobs are increasingly hard to find.
Around 54% of young adults still live with their parents, while the employment rate among people aged 15–29 has fallen to 43.8%.
On TikTok, many are already posting skits about their new “full-time job” as grown-up children.
Capitalism wins again. 😂

@FelixTwettX @DrProfitCrypto Of course it will dump more. It will keep dumping until the employees are allowed to pull out.

@DrProfitCrypto Now what to do ? It's good time to long it or it will dump more ?

$SPCX:
98% of all IPO buyers are now in a loss! This is exactly what I warned about in my SpaceX report! A lesson for anyone who thought it’s a great idea to FOMO buy at the same time with the next door Barber or Taxi driver!
Doctor Profit 🇨🇭@DrProfitCrypto
History Repeats: IPOs and Market Tops SpaceX is set to launch at a $1.75T valuation, making it the largest IPO in history. The closest comparison is Saudi Aramco at $1.70T, which went public just 10 weeks before the COVID crash in 2020. And Aramco is far from the only mega IPO that appeared near a major market top. Always remember that the largest IPOs in history tend to arrive when optimism and euphoria is extreme, and investors are willing to pay almost any price. This is just one more indicator that we are at the Stock Market top. I've already seen people discussing loans to buy SpaceX. I've seen people with zero experience talking about it. The mass is buying, and we always know how this ends. Will I buy SpaceX? Absolutely! But let the crowd buy first, let the price crash, and thats where I am going to buy, and I promise you, I will be buying lower than on launch day.

@reclaimkorea Funny how as soon as they unite there is a strong effort to pull them apart. What group of people has been known to do this?
English
Again with the Korean skin color BS
you’d think these people would have better things to do than obsessively analyze the skin complexions of an entire foreign ethnicity
I can’t help but notice how this always keeps reoccurring in waves. It’s also suspicious how we’re now getting this after all those displays of friendship between Koreans and Mexicans during the World Cup
English
@UlaVaz @BFRM373499 Funny how as soon as the Mexicans and Koreans unite there is an effort to divide them. What group of people could be responsible for this 🤔

@BFRM373499 Te invito a leer un tuit al respecto para que veas cuántos son. O a googlear “colorism whitewashing Korea”

@ISSHIKI0022 @Animalizum That's because you're a disingenuous person. Anyone with dignity would realize they didn't truly deserve that win.

@gnomanon @Animalizum 相手ミスにつけ込んで勝利を目指すのは当たり前のことだ。手加減など傲慢な者が行うことで、相手に対しても失礼なことだ。その程度の鉄則も知らないで返事してくんな。

@hpzj45678 This whole attempt to divide the Mexicans and Koreans especially after they united under the World Cup is heavily suspicious.

感觉现在不少人尤其是世界杯让人感到，原来这么多外国人嫉妒韩国人（甚至东亚人），明明韩国民族长得白，偏偏说人家不是白皮肤。故意画成白人。已经不止一次刷到这种奇怪的贴子或评论
说实话，韩国人或中国人虽不很白，但普遍偏白色皮肤
不是嫉妒是什么，尤其最近两年能看到一些人的对中日韩的嫉妒言论

한국인의 '원래 피부'라고 하니까 드는 생각인데 원래 산업구조가 바뀌고 생활 형태가 바뀌면 평균적인 피부톤도 '원래' 같을 수는 없는 셈이지.

@ISSHIKI0022 @Animalizum And you'd continue living knowing that you didn't truly deserve that win.

@zhang6hao Funny how as soon as the Mexicans and Koreans unite there is an immediate effort to divide them. Hmm, I wonder what group of people might be responsible.

“naturalmente brancos”

브라질 혹시 피부색별로 소득이나 사회적 차별있어? 그런 나라에서 꼭 한국한테 피부색으로 집착하더라 한국이 원래 하얗다는 사실을 못받아들임 그 집착이 인종차별을 넘어선 정신병 수준임

@SGimenista_9 Funny how as soon as Korea and Mexico join forces there is an immediate effort to pry them apart. What group of people love doing that again?

No son blancos, están blanqueados.
Si tienen que blanquearse la piel, es porque son morenos.

@carlwheless @kangminlee OP is obviously not talking about laws. Obviously, legally you're an American.
English
I think it takes at least three generations for someone to be considered fully American.
The first generation remains tied to their homeland in language and culture. The second still carries much of that influence through their immigrant parents. Only by the third generation do those ties loosen enough for genuine assimilation to occur.
Assimilation cannot happen overnight. A nation is not a blank legal territory where anyone can instantly belong. America should remain distinctly American, and that requires time, generations, and the expectation that newcomers adopt its culture rather than remake it.

@run_action @StarsJester @NoiseCosmi53509 Also, the 'white' that Asians like is not 'Caucasian white'. It's more porcelain-like.

Meu pai é um homem branco e fica rosa/vermelho quando pega sol. Eu sou um homem pardo e fico desse tom quando tomo sol. Vocês não são brancos, e isso não é algo bom nem ruim, é apenas uma característica física. Parem de ser obcecados com tom de pele e aceitem quem vcs são

원래 피부가 아니고 그냥 햇볕에 탄거지

@StarsJester @NoiseCosmi53509 Maybe some do it out of self-hatred, but there are also a lot of Koreans that are naturally born with big eyes, higher nose bridges, lighter skin, etc. Perhaps those features are just universally considered attractive as this phenomenon has been seen in other cultures as well.
English
@NoiseCosmi53509 Vocês não querem se tornar caucasianos? E o que dizer do uso de cremes clareadores, lentes de contato de cores claras e até cirurgias para remover ou suavizar características orientais feitas por vocês? E em nenhum momento afirmei que ser caucasiano e bom ou ruim.

@JohnWolfStaley @knxnews He kinda was growling and being aggressive.

@i_lovscherry 왜냐면 우린 원래 피부색이 밝은건데 너네가 계속 한국인 피부색은 밝은색이 아니다 라며 우기면서 저런 사진을 가져오고선 저 피부색이 자연스러운 피부색이다 라고 우기니까 화내는거지.
왜이렇게 한국인 피부색에 집착하는거야? 정말 이해 안돼.
한국어
Porque el tono de piel es tan delicado para ellos? En realidad estan siendo racistas y coloristas al tratar de "defenderse" pero entendible hasta cierto punto, los asiáticos han demostrado una y otra vez lo racistas q pueden ser y todavía gente de fuera los vanaglorea mmm mm

너희들에게 ‘한국인들의 자연스러운 피부톤’은 하루종일 강한 햇빛 아래에서 선크림을 바르지 않고 땀 흘리며 뛰어다니는 축구선수의 피부색인거야? 누가 정한거야? 하루종일 바깥에서 햇빛 받지않고 그냥 자기 할 일 하면서 살아가는 평범한 한국인들의 피부색은 자연스럽지 않은거야?

A neighbor who called 911 during what they believed was a welfare emergency in Canoga Park is speaking out, saying they feel responsible after Los Angeles police shot and killed a dog at a nearby home during a New York Knicks' championship celebration.
"I feel responsible for what happened," the neighbor said. "I'm so sorry. I never wanted anything bad to happen. I thought I was doing the right thing." abc7ne.ws/bnj0tg
