That whole thing about y'all not eating beef because they're beasts of burden you can use for farming and are valuable.

How are you posting here
I have access to the internet ... I cant name reasons . I use TOR with bridges ... I use lemmy because its easy to acess with TOR . I like using reddit too !! I dont have acount because the website is bugged on TOR ... it is hard to use.
Using another websites is also hard !! I sometimes watch youtube but the website is bugged so I use Invidious . I like many youtubers like NileRed and Veritasium .

In your experience, is there respect/adoration for the ruling family from the general public?
Yes from very young they teach how the Kim family helped the country exist ... I dont say there is adoration but it is very respectful .

what do people do for fun when they have days off, on holiday,... ? how free are you to choose a partner and form a family in your culture? (i mean, are marriages arranged in some way, or do the relatioships form naturally?, can your partner be of the same sex, can you have multiple partners,...?)
I like to be with my family and go out !! we have places like beach and parks and waterparks and we have fun .
In NK a long time ago families married daufhters to men they didnt know but it was not forced ... it was arranged . my mother married my father but she not know him until the day they married !! I have wife but I met her my parents dont choose her for me . Our relationship formed naturaly !! I dont know NK people who had a partner like man man or a lot of wives !!
