Imagine you're a ricecel. Would you rather be a KPOP idol or an average educated Korean?

[Xangsane]

Take into consideration the vast majority of KPOP idols don't finish secondary school, because of how gruelling KPOP trainee recruitment is; you're expected to train as young as 10 and debut in your teens, making you miss out on classes.

"Average educated Korean" = an average Korean who has a university degree or two, and works an office job.

While South Korea is very cool, I would prefer to be Japanese or Northern Chinese if I was a ricecel, the former because it's a richer country, the later because they are the tallest East Asians, and both lack mandatory military service, which is something I don't admire in South Korea.

Ugly Koreans have a depressing life since they have to slave away overtime or lose their job to competition caused by overpopulation. Idols also practice a lot but in the long run is a more fufilling and varied life+ur rich

Yeah. So like I said, a Kpop idol, since you're not only have a good salary, but also tons of chicks fantasizing with ya.

Part of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season

Typhoon Xangsane, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Milenyo, was a typhoon that affected the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand during the 2006 Pacific typhoon season. The name Xangsane was submitted by Laos and means elephant.[1]
Xangsane made landfall in the Philippines, battering the northern islands with torrential rains and strong winds, and causing widespread flooding and landslides. After passing over Manila and emerging over the South China Sea, the typhoon made a second landfall in central Vietnam, also causing flooding and landslides there and in Thailand. The storm was responsible for at least 312 deaths, mostly in the Philippines and Vietnam, and at least US$747 million in damage.[2][3][4]

Meteorological history[edit]​

Map plotting the storm's track and intensity, according to the Saffir–Simpson scale

Map key
The nucleus of Typhoon Xangsane originated from a disturbance embedded within the monsoon trough to the east of the Philippines. On September 23, a persistent area of convective thunderstorms was observed about 100 mi (160 km) northwest of Palau, in an environment favorable to tropical cyclogenesis.[5] The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) declared the formation of a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC on September 25.[6] Simultaneously, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) began releasing warnings in relation to the tropical depression with the local name Milenyo.[5] The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC; a joint United States Navy – Air Force agency that monitors tropical cyclones globally) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert around the same time, designating the disturbance Tropical Depression 18W at 12:00 UTC.[7] The system quickly organized as it drifted westward, and according to both the JMA and the JTWC, it attained tropical storm intensity near 00:00 UTC on September 26. Consequently, it received the international name Xangsane.[6][7] The name was submitted by Laos and means "elephant".[5]
The storm began to accelerate in forward speed and shift its direction toward the west-northwest, attaining typhoon intensity at 18:00 UTC on September 26.[6] At the time, it was centered about 390 mi (630 km) east-southeast of Manila, the capital city of the Philippines. Over the next several hours, Xangsane rapidly intensified as it approached the archipelago;[5] the JMA estimates that the typhoon achieved its maximum 10-minute sustained winds of 155 km/h (96 mph) early on September 27, with a corresponding central pressure of 940 millibars (28 inHg).[6] According to the JTWC, the typhoon peaked with 1-minute winds of 230 km/h (140 mph), corresponding to Category 4 strength on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.[7] The center of the powerful storm skirted the northern coast of Samar and continued west-northwestward.[6] With a well-defined eye evident on visible satellite imagery,[8] Xangsane struck southern Luzon around 12:00 UTC, and remained over the Philippines for the next day or so.[5][6] Due to extensive interaction with land, the typhoon's structure deteriorated, and the JMA downgraded it to a severe tropical storm early on September 28.[6] Xangsane traveled over the Manila area early on September 28 before entering the South China Sea and turning due west, steered by the subtropical ridge to its north over mainland China.[5][9]

Tropical Storm Lee Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132023
1100 PM AST Tue Sep 05 2023

The satellite structure of Lee has continued to improve tonight. A
prominent curved band of deep convection wraps around the western
and southern portions of the circulation. Recent SSMIS and GMI
microwave images reveal deep convection is occurring near the
center, though it is slightly displaced by some northeasterly shear.
There are also hints of a formative inner core trying to take shape,
all of which suggest that Lee is strengthening. The initial
intensity is raised to 45 kt for this advisory, in best agreement
with a T3.0 Dvorak classification from TAFB.

Lee continues to move west-northwestward at about 15 kt. A mid-level
ridge over the central subtropical Atlantic is expected to be the
primary steering mechanism for the next several days, with Lee
forecast to continue on a west-northwestward heading across the
central tropical Atlantic through the forecast period. Once again,
the track guidance is in fairly good agreement on this scenario.
Overall, the latest NHC track forecast is very similar to the
previous prediction, with only minor adjustments that keep our
forecast between the simple and corrected consensus aids. Users are
reminded that the average NHC forecast track errors are around 125
and 175 n mi on days 4 and 5, respectively. Thus, it is too soon to
determine exactly how close this system will be to the Leeward
Islands by the weekend.

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions appear extremely favorable
for rapid intensification (RI) during the next several days,
particularly once the northeasterly shear over Lee subsides in a day
or so. The forecast track of Lee brings the cyclone over anomalously
warm SSTs during the next several days, with generally low shear and
favorable upper diffluence to support significant strengthening. The
updated NHC intensity forecast has been adjusted slightly higher
than the previous one, toward the latest IVCN and HCCA aids. This
forecast calls for Lee to become a hurricane in 24 h and a major
hurricane by 60 h, with continued intensification thereafter. It is
noted that the regional hurricane models depict even stronger
solutions, so future adjustments could be necessary. Regardless,
Lee bears close monitoring as there is high confidence it will
become a very powerful hurricane by this weekend.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Lee is forecast to become a major hurricane by late this week and
could bring impacts to the Leeward Islands this weekend. While it is
too soon to determine the location and magnitude of these possible
impacts, interests in this area should monitor the progress of Lee
and further updates to the forecast.

Tropical Storm Jova Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112023
900 PM MDT Tue Sep 05 2023

A new burst of deep convection has produced a nearly circular
Central Dense Overcast over Jova's center, although a 0045 UTC
SSMIS microwave pass showed that the convection favors the
southwestern portion of the circulation due to moderate
northeasterly shear. Still, Dvorak estimates have increased to
T4.0/65 kt from TAFB and T3.5/55 kt from SAB, and the various
objective estimates have recently converged around 60 kt, which
will be the initial intensity. Jova's intensity has increased by
30 kt over the past 24 hours, and thus rapid intensification is
ongoing.

Jova is situated to the south of a mid-tropospheric ridge stretching
southwest of Mexico, and it continues to move toward the
west-northwest (290 degrees) at 8 kt. The track forecast, and the
forecast track, are both straightforward. Jova is expected to
maintain a west-northwestward motion around the southwestern
periphery of the ridge, but at a faster forward speed as the
distance between the two features decreases. No appreciable changes
were made from the previous NHC forecast except to show a slightly
faster motion, hedging toward the latest HCCA consensus solution.

The moderate shear over Jova is expected to abate during the next
6-12 hours. In addition, water temperatures are between 29-30
degrees Celsius, mid-level relative humidities are near 80 percent,
and upper-level divergence is forecast to be strong during the next
day or two. All of these ingredients point to a recipe for
continued rapid intensification, and many of the SHIPS-RII and DTOPS
thresholds suggest it is likely to persist for another 36 to 48
hours, with Jova reaching major hurricane strength. That said, the
regional hurricane models are much less enthusiastic about Jova's
continued strengthening and show peak intensities no more than 70-75
kt. Given the seemingly conducive environment, the NHC intensity
forecast continues to favor the stronger solutions, and peaks Jova
at category 4 intensity in 48 hours. Colder waters should induce
weakening by day 3, continuing through the end of the forecast
period.

[MOG BATTLE] WHOSE PATH MOGS? LEE OR JOVA?

WHOSE PATH MOGS? LEE JOVA https://looksmax.org/threads/mog-battle-who-will-mog-harder-jova-or-lee.812926/ @slop slinger @howtallareyou

Take into consideration the vast majority of KPOP idols don't finish secondary school, because of how gruelling KPOP trainee recruitment is; you're expected to train as young as 10 and debut in your teens, making you miss out on classes.

"Average educated Korean" = an average Korean who has a university degree or two, and works an office job.

@Graham @HeightPilledum

this can't be a real question bruh obviously a kpop idol lmao

Even if you don't finish high school?

 

[Graham]

Kpop idol and ricecel don't go together.

Idols are selected for their looks, and also have surgeries to look better.

They also have a chance to make it big, in which case they also get the status and money halo too.

Average Korean is basically stuck in a depressing country like the UK but on steroids.

Even if it meant not passing high school?

I lot of idols graduate high-school, at least, that's the impression I get when the kpop idols post their graduation on Instagram / their group congratulates them.

Also, if graduating high school = wage slave and then commit suicide by 30, then I'd rather not graduate.

Thought they didn't pass jfl.

 

[Graham]

Thought they didn't pass jfl.

Sometimes, probably more so in previous generations, but companies can get heavily criticized for it if it's forced. Usually they go on to graduate and the group account posts a graduation photo with the member in question.

Who has uni degrees?

 

[Graham]

Who has uni degrees?

IDK, university isn't the same as high school though, so I'd assume there would be less.

Who fogs?
