I am one of those who made through the hoop of first and second rounds with the most horrid of CVs, still cant believe I got the job. Extremely happy that I did, I was told later that the resume I submitted was the worst one by far, but the person (ie. Me) was the best applicant, which I still consider funny yet depressing.

Do you have any issues with mold after air tightening the house? Here in Finland pretty much every house needs constant airflow/intake and the houses built to breathe to fight against mold. Im curious if youve had any issues, especially due to living closer to the tropical zone.

There is also significant cases before and currently in South Korea, namely illegal immigrants working at farms with nigh-slave labour conditions and factory workers in Samsung/Hyundai etc large multinationals

Not 100% sure what you are implying? OP seems to be not from Qatar (notorious for being a modern slave labor economy) and in turn implies a good worker/emplyer relationship. Quite a few people from poorer countries seek better conditions and employment elsewhere for understandable reasons, whats so wrong in this case?

Are there any suitable alternatives for OpenWRT? My huawei 4g router that i use over sim connection does not support OpenWRT or Tomato unfortunately...

That is true. I was not there and im of a completely different world. Well, to be honest i ended up agreeing atleast partly too. For context im from europe, and a small country arrayed against a historically and currently aggressive and strong neighbor, aaand i was conscript officer in charge of a few hundred men total. Believe me that im not that detached from this question, however my concience about bombing civilians is also quite conflicted but heavily leaning towards the Geneva Conventions.

In conclusion; no, i dont agree that it was be "perfectly ethical" or even simply ethical, but rather a neccesity born of the lack of efficacy in the firebombing campaing. And yes, a top-down hierarchical militant society like imperial japan of the time would not have surrendered without significant show of power, of imminent destruction, demonstrated. Im personally more convinced that Hirohito only issued the decree to surrender unconditionally due to the fear of imminent destruction of the capital, since a military society would always expect an attack on the command structure.

While i understand the rationale, ive come to question if "fighting fire with napalm" is such a good idea, from ethics perspective. Is it not a duty to not fall prey to indulge in mass killing even if it may seem justified by the barbarity of the opposing side?
