I misread it and was sad that the millionaire hunter was killed. We should invent millionaire hunters.

Wolfenstein 3D is a lot less impressive than Doom. Doom was faster and more complex than other games, where as Wolfenstein had a strong and appealing gimmick but was slower and less complex as a trade-off. In-line with the expectations around compiled languages.

I see. That's difficult. kcna.kp is the official website. If you need to verify something you can use archive.org and browse an old snapshot through there.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

That's the wrong website. I included a link in the post you're replying to. You need to expand the spoiler. If you're in the USA, Israel/Palestine or South Korea the site might be DNS-blocked. You can use http://www.kcna.co.jp/ as an archive in that case, they seem to mirror the articles.

You can just visit KCNA's website, it's a normal website. I'm disappointed to see communists spread this type of disinformation. Yes, Israel is an illegitimate state. No, North Korea is not so fragile and dire that they can't afford to humanely and non-punitively re-educate the like one weirdo Zionist they might have.

This 'news' probably spawned from this article published 07/06/25. It doesn't talk about the same thing at all.

Pyongyang, July 6 (KCNA) -- Israel's "war machine" which plunged the whole area of Gaza in blood is running madly.

The Gaza area has already turned into a "ground hell" where the human existence environment was completely destroyed due to the war that has been going on for nearly two years.

Since October 2023, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli army has increased at least 56 000 and all the inhabitants in the Gaza Strip are facing food shortage. Of them, 470 000 are in "fatal hunger", the worst stage in the international index on the food situation.

Even in the present situation that the humanitarian crisis has reached its extreme phase, Israeli murderers are constantly expanding military attacks in the Gaza Strip, which was turned into ruins, updating the record of genocide every day.

Where is the end of bloody massacre and destruction, indeed?

The Zionists have justified their unethical atrocities in the Gaza Strip under the pretext of the "hostage rescue" and "sweeping of Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement of Palestine)" and have so far misled public opinion as if they were the end of bloodshed.

In the early days of the Gaza crisis, the prime minister of Israel asserted that Israel had no thought for permanently occupying Gaza or making the civilians emigrate from it, and that "the aim is to sweep away Hamas in Gaza and obtain hostages' release."

In contrast with this, the sweeping of Hamas has already turned into massacre of civilians, total destruction of existence environment and forcible exile of the inhabitants in Gaza and the release of hostages has been placed in the back long ago.

Voices to demand for ending war and realizing the humanitarian ceasefire are growing in Israel, saying that "sweeping of Hamas", the main goal of the war, has not been achieved and the release of hostages is not feasible without negotiation. But the Zionists are persistently divorcing from this reality.

It is proved by the acts of the Israeli warmongers who deliberately broke the ceasefire which had been difficultly created through the mediation of the international community in the past and gradually expanded the war, thus fling away the opportunity to exchange thousands of Palestinian prisoners for their hostages.

The Israeli prime minister, who has recently become more upbeat under the patronage of his American master, is openly saying that there is no way to stop the war even if Israel brings hostages, swinging from his previous attitude of giving priority to the release of hostages.

The Israeli military warmongers' rhetoric is more direct. They asserted that "we will act with all our efforts and will not stop action until all the goals are achieved, including the voluntary immigration plan of the Gaza residents" and "unlike in the past, the Israel Defense Forces will not withdraw from the seized areas (although the Gaza war ends)," openly agitating full occupation and annexation of the Gaza Strip.

The reality clearly shows that even if all the hostages are released, the bloody military atrocities in Gaza will continue with no reason and justification, and that only the result of the complete annexation of Gaza is the ultimate goal pursued by Israel and its behind-the-scene forces.

After all, the Zionists are committing heinous crimes, regarding not only the lives of Israeli hostages but also the lives of millions of Palestinians as victims of the Jewish state's wild ambition for territorial annexation and hostages for realizing their ambition to dominate the Middle East.

The Jewish state's crime to make peace in the Middle East and the rest of the world a sacrifice for realizing its expansionist ambition can never be tolerated. -0-

For those who are happy about this

It's obviously a joke.

North Korea regarding Israel as an illegal state is real, but it's not news. They've been calling for it to be dismantled and restructured into Palestine since 1989.

Only because Google doesn't index Chinese sites =P Deepseek had an access control bug when it first launched and Qwen is owned by Jack Ma.

to allegedly aid nuclear weapons program

Yeah of course. Their precious few Swift monies are going to be spent on one of the few things that they can do entirely domestically.

It's not even relevant to the story. They should've just written what it'll likely actually be used for, paying for foreign vaccines and importing ananas for school lunches and whatever. Not everything has to be scary.

The article talks about eighteen year olds that were hired "because they look very young", playing children characters, with costumes and makeup meant to make them look younger.

It was a bad situation. Two hundred people were murdered, among them innocent non-combatants, either bystanders or lawful protestors.

OOP is making the argument that yanks should clean up their own house first. The person you're replying to is making the argument that the mentions of this event by westerners is cognitive dissonance, side-lining, essentially forgiving, comparable bad situations resulting from actions perpetrated in their name while disingenuously condemning their government-ordained enemies without knowledge or investment in the situation.

As a leftist, you sometimes make the argument that evidence of the western institutional dishonesty can be found in seeing what events are mythologised and exaggerated. Take a scenario where something bad happened, but the western myth is something worse. Or perhaps something sad and regrettable happened, but the western myth omits context and details such that it seems malicious. You might then challenge someone to contemplate why the myths exist in the forms they do. Wouldn't you benefit from an accurate understanding? It's tiring to hear that answered with only "both sides", since it's obvious the person you're talking to didn't actually contemplate the contradiction, and instead defaulted to their programming. Western programming allows allies infinite culpability to an infinite number of crimes because they are all ultimately forgiven with flimsy and inevitable excuses.

Sounds good, and if you don't own the autos personally then the space needed to store them can also be partially mitigated. But it's so so so much more environmentally damaging (which directly translates into money, as it's more materials, more labour, more transport, more machines, etc) than a train where the equivalent of one auto can pull several cheap cars with a ton of people. And it's so much more complicated to get right, you don't have a successful model to copy from. It's not that it's a bad idea, it's that trains and buses are a much better idea.
