It's great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can't tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien's words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

Their point is they no longer care
I think they're not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home's value
least that's what I've gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles
afaik it's essentially an apartment but you own your domicile, and have a stake in the building as a whole along with the other "tenants" who are also co-owners.

The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan
now, education is possible at any age, but really?
Isekai Ojisan. it's a show about a nerd in his early twenties that gets isekai'd, then 10 years later comes back and talks to his nephew about his adventures. but he's a really weird dude, and makes utterly bizarre choices. I hesitate to use the word autism, but he's definitely not neurotypical. It's a funny show, I recommend it
yeah, I know. I just get pissed off whenever I hear a parent talking like this
"Is that hundred grand a gift... or a loan?"
Neither, it's an obligation. You don't get to choose whether or not to provide for your children as you would a gift, nor can you expect a "return" on your "investment".
A "woobie" is a name for any type of character who makes you feel extremely sorry for them.

Not sure it's used properly here. They seem to be using it as a synonym for harmless. A woobie is harmless, but that's secondary to their pitifulness.

Reminds me of this genuine photo of bison skulls from the late 1800s
The US government encouraged mass hunting of bison to force Native Americans to give up their way of life that depended on them and move to reservations where they would be "allowed" to live. Unless something valuable was discovered on that land later.
When colonists first started arriving there were upwards of 60 million bison in North America, traveling in vast herds that provided much of what various nomadic tribes needed to live on. At the lowest point in the late 1800s there were around 541 known animals in existence. Now there are around 500,000 in NA, the vast majority of which live on ranches and are farmed for meat. There are around 20,000 living on conservation lands.
