Fun fact: western ride sharing apps don't work in South Korea, and this company also makes the leading rideshare app in the country.

I was forced to make an account on the mobile chat app in order to log into their rideshare app, on a recent trip to Seoul. The UX was not great... not to mention that it was mostly in Korean. I had a lot of trouble. They didn't strike me as the most professional operation..

Re:The case for not sanitising fairy tales on Monday June 24, 2024 @08:00PM (#40782613)

For example, Alexander Hamilton began working full-time at the age of 11.

Nowadays, we try very hard to shield children from the realities of the world, sanitize their fairy tales, etc. but that’s a relatively recent practice.
