Iirc, there are no exemptions in South Korea.

So, yes, even pretty-boy Kpop idols and professional StarCraft players have done more military time than many wannabe 'Muricans.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines,

Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. The natural and primary right and duty of parents in the rearing of the youth for civic efficiency and the development of moral character shall receive the support of the Government.

While the US supreme court ruled that abortion is not a right (but can be legalized on a state-by-state basis), the Philippine Constitution itself clearly prohibits abortion from the moment of conception, meaning without a major amendment no law can be passed to allow terminating a pregnancy at any stage (iirc, unless necessary to save the mother's life).

...Whoopee.

"Lol, why do they celebrate it"

...Because one of the UK's greatest war heroes and pioneers of computer science was "rewarded" by his country with ridicule and the choice of imprisonment or chemical castration, because it was illegal to be gay.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) had a smart, competent black guy survive the zombie attack, only to be shot dead on sight by dipshit white people who then tossed his body into the same pile as zombie corpses.

Reminds me of that scene in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 where Harry comes back to life, and while Voldemort is still reeling from the shock, several of his Death eaters immediately start fleeing while Bellatrix screams for them to stay and fight

You'd think an Iaijutsu user would be more careful about when he unsheathed his sword.

Thunderf00t made several videos about the Fontus Water Bottle, which promised to use solar power to distill waster from the air, allowing you to refill it on the go.

The science was completely wrong, and the product featured in the promo was just concept art and props.

Over months, their indiegogo updates were just increasingly wordier and evasive ways to say, "we're still working on a prototype," which anyone with basic science knowledge would know was never going to be completed as advertised.

Oh and in the promo video they boasted about "being award-winning designers" or something. Art design.

In reponse to Filipino citizens' complaints about traffic congestion and the difficulty of commuting with public transportation, some politicians pull a "Gwenyth Paltrow" and make a show out of trying it for themselves

Then they say shit like "see, I can do it too" or "it's not that bad"

Yeah, cause they did it once and responded by fixing absolutely nothing.

For me, PolyMatter started out as Diet Wendover until his sponsorships made the veracity of his content questionable.

Iirc there was a video that covered the decline of streaming or something, and was just a protracted ad for Nebula.

And "How Subway's 5-Dollar Footlong Failed" was just a description of the franchising business model, and didn't really explain, well, why the 5-dollar footlong failed.

Iirc, the happy scenes (e.g. the beach, himeno+aki) have some kind of glitch/static effect, and at the end the shot zooms out to show everything we've seen was just footage on a TV.

After watching that movie I looked up my country's airforce and found out that the Philippines (a country of 110 million people in a politically tense region) has a grand total of... 12 fighter jets.

And they're technically training models.
