I don't understand how halloween turned into such a loving thing in 10 years, it was pretty much entirely the foreigner crowd that used to celebrate it.

A friend was posting pictures of halloween celebrations and he's in Seoul, I'm hoping he's just offline right now.

I am not sure if it’s really the cause or not but a pretty popular K drama itaewon class, Featured Halloween in Itaewon As a focal point of the story

It was mentioned that a lot of remaining gathering requirements were lifted recently from some article I saw online, so it probably helped boost that crowd.

Itaewon is definitely not built for crowds like this. I would have thought that it would lessen after Yongsan Garrison closed up (well, mostly) and moved south to Humphreys but that crowd is way wilder than when I lived there in from 2014-16.

Glad I opted to go to dinner locally and stay away from the big party areas. Also I'm too old for Itae now.

Love all the Elon stans in the comments going "just you wait, daddy Elon has outsmarted all these execs and lawyers, all he has to do is say they were bad at their jobs and BOOM legal nerds defeated."

Last time Elon had one neat trick to get out of a contract, he was forced to pay $44B for a social media company running at a loss :laugh:

Maybe a Hot Wheels version. I'm not buying anything larger than 1:72 scale that says tesla on it.

I'd probably pick one up in walmart and leave it in the freezer section or next to the 2000 flushes tablets.

He won't.

Any exec employment agreement worth its salt will carefully spell out the reasons and process for terminating someone for cause. "I hate these guys" ain't it and "they breached their fiduciary duty" won't fly because they just transferred $44B from Elon Musk to their (previous) shareholders.

If Elon really hated one fuckin guy in particular he probably could have come up with a pretext, but dumping all of them before the ink is dry and shouting "for cause" is a pattern that ain't gonna fly unless something really wild was going on.

I hope that the executives do get the money they’re owned, but only after Elon drags this things out for years, racks up ludicrous legal fees, and is ordered to pay the plaintiff’s fees.

It's still extremely popular with English-speaking expats. A Welsh alcoholic I used to work with made a point to go there every time we were in Seoul, and would show up the next morning smelling like a college frat house on Sunday morning.

The expansion of Twitter's content moderation policy (led by the US) is wholly responsible for this. We need to respect Elon's insecurity concerns, particularly since there may be other Musk fans currently using Twitter that are being silenced.

Besides, we all know Twitter and Tesla are the same technology. They've shared an alphabetical first letter going back over a dozen years. That's why Musk is bringing in Tesla engineers and reorienting Twitter's software to bring it in line with Tesla standards.

Also, ignore the thousands of Twitter personnel fleeing to other companies. They don't have what it takes to stay and earn for Dear Leader.

Also he used the term manufacturing consent and I fear my brain would leak out of my ears.

I stumbled into CSPAM via the lepers colony day before yesterday, to a bunch of posters taking about how the Holodomor would have been way worse without the USSR, that did an admirable job of helping Ukraine it out.

So that's cool I guess.

E: Elon's hosed, firing people and trying to gently caress them out of 10s of millions is not a good idea.

So twitter doesn't ping you to constantly log in to see "restricted" tweets or whatnot. Scrolling twitter in a browser usually brings up a prompt to sign in or sign up that blocks the browser screen.
