  • I think a big part is NK postures like a threat, but often only meddles in its own affairs in the grand scheme of things. Russia is actively waging a war against Ukraine and China has been provoking trade wars and digital spying/manipulatation.

    I also think NK size and posturing actually makes the world more ready to deal with them than the other 2 countries. NK is a much smaller nation to monitor than russia or china and since it pretty much only plays hostile, everyone is already a little on edge with them whereas both russia and china want to play by the rules most of the time but can be risky to trust.

    However I’m just a guy on the internet and I certainly have a flawed view of these countries and the whole geopolitical situation so maybe NK actually deserves 30% in reality.









  • I decided not to finish my college program partially because of AI like chatgpt. My last 2 semesters would have been during the pandemic with an 8 month work term before. Covid ended up canceling the work term and would give me the credit anyway. The rest of the classes would all be online and mostly multiple choice quizs. There wasn’t a lot of AI scanning tech for academic submissions yet either. I felt if i continued, I’d be getting a worse product for the same price (online vs in class/lab), wont get that valuble work experience, and id be at a disadvantage if i didnt use AI in my work.

    Luckily my program had a 2 year of 3 year option. The first 2 years of the 3 year is the same so i just took the 2 year cert and got out.

    As a male, i only have like 1 or 2 pairs of paints that actually fit me nicely, otherwise they are extra baggy, a little long in the leg, or a little wide in the waist. Its all manageable by rolling the cuffs or wearing a belt but casual mens clothing in general usually fits “good enough”.

    Theres a lot of men whom lean more into the toxic masculinity side who will even make fun of men wearing well fitting clothing like fitted shirts, usually this stems from jealously of the fitted shirt showing off their muscles while the other is wearing a free t shirt from a beer case that barely covers his gut.
