This was in 2017. The one in 2025, Osaka let you stand in line for 3 hours to hear Saudi Arabia or Japanese gas talk about what they're doing for sustainability. Or you can pay 40USD for a plate of Polish food.

    I’m gonna come right out and say it: I’m really glad it doesn’t shoot lasers, whatever it is

    I can’t imagine who would handle such a thing responsibly

    How do we know it can't shoot lasers? Or that it won't be able to in the future?

    When I finish building my Death Star it will deffo be able to shoot planet killing lasers. However in the meantime I'm making damn sure that I'm not telling anyone about it until I can use it to take over the planet ...and then become the Supreme Ruler of Earth.
    (If you want to live after I take over the world then you'll forget what I just wrote. UNDERSTAND?)

    Article is from 2017. Can you put that in the headline? Since then, the big news from Kazakhstan is Dimash. I don't understand why anyone listens to Taylor Swift tbh.
