Ghost Leviathan posted:One of those things that varies a lot, as an Australian used to living rural or suburban sprawl I've never lived in a place without its own laundry room. We do have laundromats and such, but they tend to be used more for dry cleaning services, and also do minor repairs and alterations too. Laundromats in Australia are for washing your DOONAS mate

The thing with the Korean doctor cartel makes me wonder, also like with the entirety of Israel, that the capitalist way of coddling and spoiling the petit bourg while telling them they actually earned it all themselves through bootstraps means you end up with entire generations of useless petty tyrants who have no concept of society and are completely useless when you have actual problems, because they will not do anything that potentially reduces their ability to exploit others at the expense of society. You've turned everyone into feudal nobility.

Corky Romanovsky posted:In-unit washing machine is normal in Japan (sometimes the washer goes on the balcony). Somewhat rare in the city, but common in the countryside is the large coin laundry. They get slammed on rainy days and are a godsend for large blankets. Otherwise it is line drying on the balcony or inside. Dryers and weed are the only things I miss from the US.

Neoliberalism is based on the belief there us no society. Humans were a bunch of nomadic singular individuals spaced miles apart, only coming together to gently caress and/or do property deals. Of course now they want us to fight and die. For what? There's no society remember?

Wasn't the anti-ballistic missile stuff always supposed to be about Iran and North Korea? And that's why you had to put the installations close to Russia somehow? Anyway the Korea guy might be a missile guy

I was skimming the ICJ website for cases involving China, since the South African deposition about Gaza was pretty conclusive, so I wondered if any anglo or euro country tried to produce something similar for Xinjiang, but somehow I can't find any cases involving China? Is there any reason for that? Did they break the site search? Am I blind?
