Semi-unrelated, I remember reading several years ago that one of the causes of Japan's low birthrate, or just more of a general problem, was everyone moving into the big cities, emptying out the rural countrysides. Maybe something similar is happening in Korea, and the non-urban areas are depopulating?

I suppose this is the same logic as smart-gun legislation in places like New Jersey?

Basically "what is not mandatory is forbidden," I take it?

Botond mentioned in the thread about the Korean gender war that he is not American.

I feel like both things have happened; some things that might warrant longer-term discussion are out of the news quick, other things are dragged out into a narrative.

I actually kind of like the idea of this; you wake up one day, your doodad has been pwned, and the screen on it says "if you are seeing this, please call [govt. number]."

Funny you mention clickwrap, because this whole topic reminds me of Ross Scott's campaign on stopping the destruction of live-service-type games, and the legal precedents in the US that basically give consumers no rights over software publishers.

Eh, there was the mosque in Christchurch, NZ. That didn't have a cop out front, did it?

The protagonist exists in what is, essentially a linear corridor, and he can only move forward. Whatever he may want to do, there's nothing he can do but move forward.
Half-Life does kind of lampshade this theme, actually; Gordon essentially is trapped in a linear path, given only the illusion of choice, living only half a life.
What are these foundations? Why are there three versus six? I'm not familiar with this terminology.
