dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

so maybe you want to schedule a tribunal with a jury of your peers first

You're in for a bad time because my Korean peers are going to make my remarks seem as good natured as the Scots making fun of Welsh in comparison to the wild shit they'll say about the Japanese

[from the distance] ^It^ ^would^ ^seem^ ^so!^

So I take it you're actually from Korea rather than in the Korean diaspora? I was honestly kinda figuring that from the start before you even said you were Korean at all, but I'd just like to confirm.

I would genuinely like to discuss topics like nationality and so forth with you some time, I hope this hasn't caused any sort of lasting animosity despite disagreements and differing perspectives.

Korean diaspora, lived in korea multiple times - just under the legal time limits before the paperwork bureaucratic bullshit that the u.s shovels on you for extended stays outside the u.s every time - my entire life so I've seen the transformation of Seoul from an industrialized city with colonial occupation era remnants into an international metropolis, would've been a dual citizen but wasn't for reasons I won't disclose, etc.

Very interesting. So what's that bureaucratic BS you mention? Just stuff like taxes, absentee ballots, passports, that sort of thing? That's all I've ever really heard my own mom complain about.

Taxes, federal and state social services eligibility, and some financial audit shit when I got old enough to do my own paperwork
