RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 3.0

I grew up in the eighties so I enjoyed the nostalgic flavour of the first season and the story was fine.  Winona's constant hysterical "where is my son?" thing got to be a bit jarring.  Nothing sticks out about season 2 and during the third season I really started to think maybe this show's target audience is not adults.  You had such cliché characters from the sassy tell it like it is black girl, completely stereotypical Russian characters across the board to the angry Cop with Hopper going overboard most episodes.  If I thought they were doing a send up of eighties stereotypes I'd applaud them.  The scenes with them sorting through their dating issues was also quite painful, and again, I figured adults was no longer their target audience.  Stranger Things action figures and video game cartridges will sell better among teens and under, I get it.

Me too neither.

One of my colleagues has a daughter in univerrsity in Japan, and the other teachers seem more jealous than anything.

It's incredibly annoying... and disturbing to think that this little piss-ant who can barely point to 3 countries on a map already has such an intense political opinion. The students were finding/creating the most obscure references to Japan in my PPTs, their brains just can't shut it out.

Either way, I had to tell them to STFU and that unless it's in the context of education, politics and Religion are not t be discussed in class. It's been pretty smooth sailing since I told them that.

Yeah. Even did a bycket list lesson yesterday. The most common one, among all classes? "I want to kill Abe" or "I want to bomb Japan" . Absolutely ****** nuts. They're grade 4...

In the video, a young Korean man and a Japanese woman ― a couple who run the One's Film YouTube channel ― walk viewers through how they were barred recently from their trip to Ulleung Island

The video ended with the Korean boyfriend saying he did not want his girlfriend to face discrimination in Korea.

The couple's video, however, did not receive much sympathy from viewers. The comments section for the video was flooded with posts attacking the couple for not accepting the ban.

I don't know why all of the messed up shit happens during times when I'm busiest and grumpiest.

Why can't it ever happen when I've got nothing better to do and had plenty of sleep the night before?

**** you, universe. But at least you didn't ruin my sandwich.

But the universe, did in fact, also ruin her sandwich.

korean netizens are insane

The first season of Stranger Things was a great little standalone story.

The second season was also good, but nowhere near as enjoyable as the first.

The third season - ugh. I wanted to like it, I really did, but it was... not good. It had none of the tension or spookiness that the first two seasons had.

That's because they have the impenetrable shield of patriotism behind them and if you call them a turnip they'll sue you for hurting their feelings. Easy game really isn't it?

It'd only be easy to sue you if you are in Korea though. :p If you do it from your home country, they won't be able to

A large proportion of Koreans are in fact boycotting Japan. Look at this:

"As a trade spat between the two countries drags on, travel between them is dropping -- and so are flight prices."

any other people here married to koreans who don't really like chuseok?

listening to everyone trying to break the sound barrier just by chewing, being forced to sit around all day watching god-awful korean tv, getting moaned at for not having a baby yet, getting told by my wife to speak more with the in-laws despite them speaking korean like machine guns about topics i don't know anything about

ughhhhh

Pasta in general is just kind of gross. Unless it's like, really really good pasta.

How about this ASMR pasta?

I don’t think anybody likes it, regardless of marital status or nationality.

Maybe foreigners who enjoy a day quiet day alone without crowds or interruptions.

Pros - no cooking to do, three heavy meals a day, grandmother on hand to look after kid, parents in law have a nicer flat
Cons - mealtime manners,  chewy Kalbi, constant Korean TV

Pros have it just.

i'd put "3 heavy meals" as a con. i always get complained at for not eating enough. haha. and yeah, galbi is always chewy and rough (and the sauce is always overly-sweet). i wish slow-cooking was a thing here
