Straight from Wikipedia, quoting this article in Korean:

"In a 2020 survey of South Koreans, 83.8% of respondents reported never having consumed dog meat nor having plans to ever do so."

I haven't met anyone below sixty who eats dog meat. Even if it doesn't get banned, I'm sure the practice will die out within one generation. It's definitely getting rarer and rarer.

It's sad that a fringe, outdated practice reflects poorly on the whole country. Most Koreans love dogs and they're as horrified by the practice as Westerners are.

I'm gonna hasard a guess and say that's the title of her presentation, and she is using it to make a strong first impression before she nuances it by discussing systemic racism and privilege.

Credible defense, comicbooks, and a bunch of local subs and language subs around the world as I travel around quite a bit. Some of these have a Fediverse presence but it's not quite there yet. Rooting for them, though!

14 years redditor here.

I kept my account and still (rarely) interact with some niche subs. The bulk of my social activity is here now, and if these niche topics were represented on the Fediverse, I'd gladly move on.

So I guess, to Reddit, I don't look like I'm truly gone since my account is still active somewhat. But my level of engagement has dramatically fallen.

My mom hates Valerie Plante with a passion and rants about her whenever she is on TV. She'll say stuff like "Denis Coderre was so much better."

My mom lives on the South Shore and never sets foot in Montreal.

Nah. I respect what MacFarlane is trying to do, but Orville is nowhere as good as TNG or SNW. It echoes TNG in a lot of ways but never rises above it. The writing is more heavy-handed and MacFarlane doesn't have the gravitas or the acting chops to rise to these ambitions.

It was good while the only current Trek we had was Picard and the godawful Discovery, but I think the SNW creators got the Trek mainline back on the tracks.

I think I can say that if the Voyager app didn't exist, I probably would have given up on Lemmy in the early days. Lemmy really started to work for me when I installed Voyager.

I think you mean Article 5.

TL;DR: The author speculates the death of Twitter will lead to a "clout reset" where people can rise to internet stardom on merit alone.

Absolutely laughable. Saved you a click.
