TLDR: Korean has all kinds of really convoluted rules about how to be respectful to your superiors. (It's bad enough that it's what made me give up on learning it.) One of them is that you can't call them by their name. Normally you would use a job title or some term of respect.

So who is your superior? It's not just your boss, it can be as petty as them being a few years older than you. So there's a major pain in the butt when two people meet where you have to subtly work out between you who whether you're equals or one of you is on a slightly higher level.

So in order to skip that bullshit and have a culture that's less obsessed with seniority and age, the hip new startup companies are having their employees pick English names and use those instead. Tbqh I suspect it's more because they think being Vivian or Bradley is cooler.

BREAKING: Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister :marseyitsoverhappy:

Nicola Sturgeon is to resign as Scotland's first minister after more than eight years in the role.

The Scottish National Party leader is expected to make the announcement at a hastily-arranged news conference in Edinburgh.

It is not clear exactly when she will leave office.

Ms Sturgeon has been first minister since November 2014, when she took over from Alex Salmond following the independence referendum.

She went on to become the country's longest-serving first minister.

However, a source close to Ms Sturgeon told the BBC that she had "had enough".


It's breaking news so reactions are still developing.

Suspect ‘neutralized’ after alleged attack at Paris central railway station, minister says

A man who injured several people Wednesday morning in a suspected knife attack at Paris’ Gare Du Nord central railway station has been “neutralized,” France’s Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin tweeted.

“An individual injured several people this morning at the Gare du Nord. He was quickly neutralized (brought under control). Thankful to the police for their effective and courageous response,” Darmanin wrote on Twitter.

French rail operator SNCF said earlier police “seemed to have opened fire” on the attacker, whose condition is presently unknown.

CNN affiliate BFMTV said several people were injured in a knife attack on Wednesday morning at the station.

“The traffic is disrupted at the departure and arrival [areas] of Paris Nord. The police seem to have opened fire against a dangerous person who injured travelers at Gare du Nord,” SNCF tweeted.

Emergency services intervened and the person has been removed. A security perimeter has been established but the station continues to operate normally, SNCF tweeted.

It’s unknown how many people were injured.

Started: No Place Like Home

» Clear the homeless camp.

Homeless people in California were found living in dangerously constructed riverside caves — outfitting the trash-filled dwellings with furniture and other supplies before they were cleared out by police and volunteers over the weekend. :marseydovahkiin: :marse!ystinky:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/170622560665793.webp

The 20-foot-deep underground digs were tucked along the Tuolumne River in Modesto, accessible by makeshift stairs carved into the hillside.

During a sweep of the living quarters, 7,600 pounds of trash — filling up two trucks and a trailer — was removed, police said.

Photos from inside one of the caves obtained by CBS 13 show a table, crates filled with supplies, and even a couple of shelves with food and condiments. Another has a chair and other belongings in bins.

Tracy Rojas, who lives near the subterranean encampment, told CBS 13 that if the caves were to collapse, it would be “devastating.”

She said some of the caves appeared to be fully furnished with bedding as well as drugs and other contraband.

“You can see the hooks on the wall where they had bottles and stuff hanging down,” Rojas said. “I think there needs to be more emphasis on the homeless. They are at the point where you can see they are desperate.”

Guptill said they cleared out eight caves during the cleanup — but he presumes the residents will return, as he has moved them out before.

Police said they're continuing to work with local services to get the homeless people out of the caves and into proper housing.

Mexican mayor among 20 dead in mass shooting

Gunmen linked to organized crime have opened fire at city hall and a nearby home in San Miguel Totolapan in southwest Mexico, killing at least 20 people and injuring several others, local officials say.

Advertisment Police then responded to a nearby house, where many people were found dead from apparent gunshot wounds.

Another official confirmed that, in total, at least 20 people were killed.

The PRD political party, to which Conrado Mendoza belonged, confirmed the mayor’s death in a statement shortly after the attack.

The massacre is the third attack which shocked Mexico in recent weeks.
