I don't blame you for missing it in the list because who the fuck knows what's going on anymore.Yeah that's the dumbass coup attempt on the list.

Within 7 days, we've seen, on top of my head:
- an Israelian former general saying the current situation in Gaza counts as ethnic cleansing.
- the Syrian civil war all of sudden getting tipped in the favour of the rebels.
- A dumbass coup attempt in South Korea.
- Trump and his gang being Trump and his gang.
- Georgia having massive protests.
- France getting a political crisis.
And I've probably still forgotten something. Oh yeah, maybe Romania? Is that also in the same span of 7 days? Fuck knows anymore.

We'll have to see what happens next I guess, as it seems to be uncharted territory for French politics.Apologies for linking to a liveblog but the English sites I could find was of liveblogs.

While I don't think the situation is nearly as bad as say, the 1930s, it's difficult to not see the parallels.
sigh I just want to live in a cottage in the far north of the Nordic now.

Also, I really wouldn't be surprised if the opposition party will eventually pass more anti coup measures after this. Normally that can cause issues with the military but right now they may well have a once in a lifetime opportunity for it.

Comment on Hi, how are you? Mental health support and discussion thread (December 2024) in ~health.mental

I'm worried that if I do end things I am giving up on the deepest love I have ever found, violating my wedding vows and promises to her grandmother, and giving up on my son having a happy childhood.
No matter what you decide, in the end it was her violation, not yours. I understand that it's right now difficult for you to get your head straight. But if it ends on this, it was her choice to cheat. Not yours.
Take care man. :/ I'm so sorry.

By this point though, I think I'll wait until summary comes up when it's morning when I am (the Netherlands) to see what's being decided out of this shitshow.
If you had told me yesterday something big would happen today it would've been either the situation in Syria, France or Ukraine and somehow we got South Korea. What a week, in what a year, in what a decade.

See that's the thing... I'd agree with you, if that'd actually appear to be the case convincingly. But the fact that the parliamentarians were first blockaded out of the National Assembly, forced their way in, and now have barricaded themselves inside well - maybe he thought that since he may have had one general on his side that it'd be okay? Difficult to say what he was thinking(if he was...) when the situation is developing like this.

Later on the employees of the National Assembly had barricaded themselves to ensure the parliamentarians could call in session and call the martial law off.
Really, this looks like an absolute dumbass coup attempt. Not ensuring military and police support beforehand is... basically step zero of such a move. The fact that the media was all over it ensured protests on top of it, and even his own party was like 'bruh wtf'.
I'm astounded that someone would try and gain control over a country like this.

It seems like that the 190 ones were present, meaning that of the other 110 they were not present.Incidentally, I've seen some footage where the police had first blocked the entrance. Now employees of the parliament are preventing the military from entering. Some other footage I've seen(well allegedly, can't verify anything) included a SK law maker just pushing a gun away from a soldier.
If this is true, which I can't verify, I doubt that the military is really behind it.

The move drew immediate opposition from politicians, including the leader of his own conservative party, Han Dong-hoon, who called the decision “wrong” and vowed to “stop it with the people.”
If even his own party can't stand behind it, this seems like a really risky move for not just him but for his country??? I have to wonder what his thought process was on this.
Does anyone know whether a court or the parliament in South Korea can cancel the martial law? I can't seem to find it in the current articles present on this, and that seems rather critical right now.
Edit: police has blockaded the parliament it seems: The Guardian liveblog

Comment on Is the Cybertruck really that bad? in ~transport

Usual disclaimer, my perspective is that from outside the US.
This was my feeling as well though through that you can kind of tell we're at least from similar cultures - in the Netherlands we've had a movement for road safety for bikers and pedestrians for pretty damn long. Whereas in America well, moreso for cars.
Given how I've seen signs of people wanting to change that across the Atlantic I wouldn't be surprised if insane cars like the Cybertruck contribute to this change though. Regardless of whether you like it's design, it is piss poor engineering. The outer layers rust unless you pay way more for the protective layers that are normally present on cars, it's edges are bound to cause accidents with the owners, the size combined with electric driving means lower distances, and more. And thats just inconvenience for the driver/owner, not for everyone else on the road.
Cybertruck is a great example of why wanting something that looks impressive will get you just that, but not in the way you wished it to be.
If the current pace keeps up btw, the Syrian rebels will get Hama mostly under control tomorrow. Meaning that it's not impossible that by the end of this week Homs further south will be under siege. And while not the capital, the positioning of that particular city may as well make that the critical battle in the Syrian civil war.
Wake me up when it's 2025.
