Most likely be the same for just internet. Better value every single day the currency dives. Gildiss has issued a correction as of 12:52 on Sep 30, 2022 |

Some Guy TT posted:But – facing a backlash from Korean politicians and on social media – authorities seemed to change tack on Monday, saying they had deployed about 137 personnel to Itaewon that night, compared to about 30 to 70 personnel in previous years before the pandemic. The actual number of the policemen at Itaewon was 137, with only 58 officers in uniform - the rest being plainclothes officers focused on petty theft and drug offenses, not crowd control. They recently declared a new "war on drugs". Govt., ruling party vow to step up fight against drugs

A Spherical Sponge posted:could you elaborate on this? that seems like a weird reason to elect someone The incel movement here elected a mid 30s dude as their champion to lead the PPP conservative party. They actually almost cost him the election, as just as many young women came to oppose them as incels voted for. But he managed to squeak out a tiny rear end victory, 247,077 votes or 0.73%, due to the land lords and real estate voters in Seoul. Also there were 2 minor parties running but the conservative one folded into the main party while the justice party stayed in gaining 2.37% of the vote sealing South Korea's fate to the abyss.
