  • Soju.

    It is a little bit like vodka. It is served ice cold, tastes like mildly sweet water and comes in a beer-style bottle so people who don’t know what it is drink way too much of it too fast and then get hit like a hammer. The bottles are meant to be poured into shot glasses and shared. It has 20-25% alcohol content and some drinks are sold premixed with a juice flavor like the example in the picture.

    It is extremely cheap too in South Korea. You can buy a 20 pack case for less than $1/bottle there. You can get alcohol poisoning for less than $10.

















    • The tax is for everyone not just the US.
    • Technology companies were making billions off of the backs of Canadians by harvesting their data and selling them ads without giving anything back, which was pure exploitation and it is an embarrassment that this tax didn’t exist earlier.
    • Many countries had implemented a similar tax already
    • The tax is just 3%, which is pitiful
    • That tax had been announced a year ago.
    • That “400% tariff” that he claims Canada charges is pure BS. Those tariffs are after quota and the quotas are never reached. Therefore the US never paid those tariffs. Those quotas exist to prevent the US from destroying Canadian industries one by one with targeted dumping and I wouldn’t put it past Trump to do that should Canada ever remove those quotas.

    TACO just wanted to pick another fight with his country’s best trading partner and found an excuse to do so.

    I’m glad we’re moving away from trading with the US. They were screwing Canada over at every chance they had.

    I need an automated system like they do for companies where you have to navigate through an option tree by pressing numbers when prompted. And there is only one very elusive path to let the call through to me, all the other parts end to either endless loops or a dummy voicemail box that doesn’t actually record any messages.



    • Half-Life/Half-Life 2
    • The original Fallout
    • The original Doom
    • Brutal Doom (the campaign)
    • Star Control 2 (The Ur’Quan Masters fan-made modernized version)
    • The Neverhood
    • Subnautica (not Below Zer0)
    • Duke Nukem 3D
    • Total Annihilation
    • Megaman (the first one)
    • Megaman X (the first one)
    • Team Fortress 2
    • Portal 2

    This is by no means an all inclusive list. These are just games that I personally played that fit the criteria.
