"Pyongyang’s once-empty streets are now jammed with vehicles that aren’t supposed to be there"

Cars in North Korea??? That's not supposed to happen. It's ruining our narratives about them having dead rats for dinner. 
DPRK citizens now have access to superior Chinese EVs that amerikkkans can't have. 
I don't particularly have much more to input beyond what Cde. Cowbee has said, and is saying during the course of this ongoing discussion and unfortunately I'm still working and can't chip in as much as I'd like to. That said, I can see that you seem like a decently read person on post-colonial and civil war to world military intervention era Korean history based off of what I've read from you thus far, so out of respect for your own scholarly nature, I'll simply leave some academic sources that denotes my position as a DPRK supporter, Korean national liberation and reunification enthusiast, and an all-round enjoyer of my motherland's food. (Sadly I'm not including food this time but I'm always down to talk about it and gripe about the American corruption of our traditional dishes with their shitty cheese slices and cans of baked beans, and musings about why they think american cusine is just shoving truckloads of sugar into everything)

Hopefully you find something here that catches your eye and you give it a read.
Thanks, I'll add them to my reading list! I would like to clarify that I too am a supporter of the DPRK and the Soviet union, it's just not unlimited uncritical support.
Lol, yeah.... I'm in the same boat. My mother and uncle participated in the Gwangju uprising and had to leave the country in the 80s. So my taste in Korean food is really traditional, my little cousins in Korea say I eat like an old man.
This is too real. I get called a boomer by my little cousins too. I just think you shouldn't be out-america-ing the americans by doing shit like taking corndogs, covering them with deep fried mozzarella, then rolling it all in sugar, among all the other terrifying korean streetfood innovations that grace Gwangjang Market. Some pork head pyeonyuk slices with a bit of saeujeot on top is more than good enough!
Honestly should be a hate crime.
I basically become Rhee level reactionary if someone tries to get me to eat "rose" tteokbokki.
Pyeonyuk or jokbal is s tier too drunk food. Hit me with that knuckle or face meat and I'm good for another bottle!
How do you keep track of books? I have a text file where I dump all books I find that seem interesting, like copy-pasting these 8 lines in there. But I was wondering if you had some better way of keeping track of things.

I just have ~100 pages open on my web browser, lmao
I use my faulty meat computer to remember the gyst of things, alongside keeping too many tabs open on both my phone and desktop and favoriting website links and comments and posts here on hexbear.
As you can infer quite quickly those are very not good and very unreliable ways of saving information. A misclick can wipe out all your tabs and internet history in an instant. Internet pages can go dead. Hexbear accounts that post amazing information decide to delete their accounts and take all the data with them to their digital graves, etc. Honestly I think I've forgotten and lost more info than I can even remember. Also I think my workplace is like legit degrading my mental capacities and I'm slowly going senile. No I am not old
So I'm trying to do what you do and keep info on a text file that I keep on my desk top with back ups in my email, in the gooble cloud stuff, and on an exterior hard drive. I'm still bad at keeping them organized and up to date though.
I was hoping you had something smart. I close every tab so I'm sure I've lost a few things too. I half remember a thing I have no idea if came to me in a dream or actually in a book. So I thought it be a good idea to try and note down everything going forward.
Gotta copy out the comments and posts you really like, I've been doing that exactly to preserve them. ~~Also download a copy of every single comment made by ReadFanon~~

Hi me, I'm you
