Do you have a source for your claim that the same people who levelled Korea with bombs and who said Hamas beheaded 40 babies are the ones who say Kim Jong Un is the richest man in North Korea?

I would prefer you to at least try to prove me wrong instead of mocking me.

Most likely, but still, it’s annoying that US-Americans pretend their country is the only one having a South. Would be cool if they could acknowledge other countries exist for a change.

Not yet, but I’m sure AI bros will find a way to mass register bots here. I already reported lots of people who had a distinct AI writing style. Over time it will be harder to distinguish those from real users 😓

I live in the South.

Like, the southern hemisphere? Where exactly?

Hm, OK, interesting information, thank you 😊

In China we have a flourishing democracy. Direct elections reach the township and county levels where voters choose deputies to local people’s congresses.

Do you live in China?

He has a point, even though it’s not a good one: Microsoft sells lots of products in a bundle at a certain price point which is hard to beat if you need all of the products in the bundle.

However, nobody needs even many of the products. Most of the time companies only use a few of them and even then, they often only use some of them because they’re bundled, not because they’re good.

It’s basically “bundle a few good products with a few shitty products so everyone uses the shitty products because they’re ‘free’”. Vendor Lock-In.

People didn’t switch to other products since they were “good enough”, but lately Microsoft products slowly become so bad that even the laziest people realise they might want to switch.

True, I stand corrected. Obviously the leaders of the DPRK are elected and not rich compared to the rest of the country. Your evidence is overwhelming.

There’s a difference between “true” communism or leaders claiming to be communist but actually being oligarchs.

In my opinion “true” communism is a great thing but never worked until this day. The thing is, capitalist countries would do anything against a successful communist country, as it threatens their narrative. The few promising ones (Cuba for example) were beaten into submission or undermined by secret agencies.

I’m not saying communism is bad, but that the current “communist” leaders are also just random-ass rich people (or rather, rich people, but certainly not random). In my opinion, the leaders of a country shouldn’t be rich. Actually, nobody should be extraordinarily rich, as wealth should be coupled to the amount of good a person brings to society, apart from universal basic income everyone should get, to live (not just exist).

I despise the capitalist ruling class. Worst example is the USA where they just basically bought themselves a government, but the EU isn’t much better with the rampant corruption and lobbyism.

Explain how that doesn’t describe North Korea.

They’ll probably tell you the Supreme Leader was elected or something.

I’d be inclined to agree with you. However, the initial implication is that communist leaders are different from random-ass rich people. That means the burden of proof lies on the person saying that.

I said “I’m pretty sure”, clearly denoting that this is an educated guess. I didn’t say “I know” or “it is fact”. This is because I know that finding exact numbers will be very hard, given that I don’t speak Korean and don’t think that this information is public in any case.

I’d actually be happy to be proven wrong! If you find any good sources, let me know.

So please give me a list of the richest people in North Korea if you believe the Supreme Leader isn’t on #1. Otherwise your comment is just as speculative as mine.

Funny comment, because nobody knows how much Kim Jong-Un is worth. It’s estimated that he has more than 5 billion USD, whereas the next richest person seems to be Cha Chol Ma with more than 100 million USD in net worth.

I couldn’t find a list of the richest people in North Korea, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

OK so the current communist leaders aren’t random ass rich people? I’m pretty sure if you ranked the North Koreans by wealth, their current leader would miraculously be #1.

I found IPv6 is usually faster than IPv4. Which do you use to connect?

How do you know a rock isn’t aware of its existence?

You can use silicone patches to have it scar less. There’s many options to reduce scarring today. I once met someone with borderline personality disorder who underwent therapy for their deep scars and they visibly changed over the course of weeks, even though they were old. They told me that the fresher scars even outright vanished.

Most sites on the internet are like this now, since many people have fast internet the art of optimising websites is basically lost. I worked at a marketing agency back when we optimised images by manually selecting their pallette and dithering algorithms, our max size of a page was set to 1MB… Nowadays, you can be lucky if the JavaScript is less than 5MB, I guess.

There’s a difference between envy and jealousy. It’s fine to be envious and jealous both, but if you start to be resentful and behave aggressively when jealousy takes over, that’s where you should evaluate if you really want to be friends with me.

I mean, why be friends with someone who gives you lots and lots of negative emotions?

Can you edit your post to be shorter and more concise and add an AI disclaimer about how much of your project is done with AI and in which capacity you use LLMs to write it?
