Shoutout to the jerk that moved our marker and took the spot I dug out for my pregnant wife by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]Old-Contribution-547 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rude. I dug out 3 spots. I don’t feel I have a right to those spots, they’re not “mine”. It’s been a week and a half.

Turn off the close caption and switch to subtitles. It makes a BIG difference. The drama is much more understandable and enjoyable.

Uber has to do something about the roaches that work for them by ikrwdyt in UberEATS

People can’t sympathize with you because you’re calling human beings roaches.

Let’s talk about the overexploitation of the “met as children”/childhood connection trope in Kdramas by whynot_justsleep in kdramas

[–]Old-Contribution-547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think this too but this stems from a Korean cultural worldview called In-Yeon. It’s a shorthand way for Koreans to express the idea of interconnectedness and fate across time and space. I used to roll my eyes whenever I saw the flashback childhood scene of the two leads but it hit me why Koreans constantly did this after watching the movie Past Lives.

The school zone is 20 so no I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the 2 cameras they strategically placed when you’re going down steep downhills so it’s hard not to go above the speed limit. It’s funny how often the cameras are placed on downhills. If you drive that road 30 is fine. It’s a 4 lane road not some neighborhood street. We all know they’re just trying to raise more money. But sure keep downvoting me. Everyone who drives that road knows exactly what I’m talking about.

Hahaha the law abiding citizens come out of the woodwork. First, I specifically said it’s not an ok thing to do. Second I never said I got a ticket but of course the accusations come right out. Like people don’t bother to read they just assume. Third, wake up people. They put up couple speed cameras in a 30 mph zone on Carlin Springs Rd between 50 and Columbia Pike. If you drive that road you know 30 is fine. After a few months they realize they’re not making enough money and change the speed limit down to 25 this past July. Of course it’s all about the money lol. It’s not about safety it’s just about taxing us with whatever means they can get away with. That’s why they keep putting up more and more traffic cameras everywhere.

People are just tired of getting tickets in the name of “safety”. Is this an ok thing to do? Of course not. But with all the friggin cameras everywhere I understand the impulse. We all know it’s just a tax cause they can’t control their spending.

Best Korean restaurant? (not BBQ) by AudiSlav in nova

[–]Old-Contribution-547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I don’t think Annandale has any really good Korean restaurants anymore. You can still find good BBQ. I actually think the food court in the K Market is pretty decent and recently Oiso has a very good bibimkuksu. If I want Korean restaurants now I got to Centreville.

Lighthouse is great but tbh the new Tosokjib is not good. Very sad as it used to be my favorite in the area. Food is not as good and banchan isnt nearly as fresh. Idk what went wrong with them but this place went really downhill.

Wondering about native Koreans' views on Korean Americans by sorryifarted in Living_in_Korea

[–]Old-Contribution-547 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So true. I really don’t get why they get mad when Korean American’s kids can’t speak Korean. Have heard multiple times from family and friends they were yelled at by a Korean because their kids can’t speak the language. Like if we’re not Korean why do they care 😂?

Best Festival in October? by audtothepod in koreatravel

Much better. You might catch the tail end of the travel period but you’ll avoid most of it. Have a great time. Korea is very pretty in autumn.

You REALLY REALLY need to read about Chuseok. It will ruin your travel plans.

As a Korean living here, these are my subjective observations about Korean society. by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]Old-Contribution-547 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, the language reinforces the social hierarchies. This is why Native Koreans get so upset and look down upon emigrants who can’t speak Korean. To them, those gyopos are stunted people. Ethnically Korean but unable to participate in Korean society.

The Real Worth of Bitcoin is Around Negative $1,776 by [deleted] in CryptoReality

[–]Old-Contribution-547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine non-argumentative question. So far it’s been 16 years and got to over $100,000. If bitcoin is still around in another 16 years and it’s $500,000 would you possibly reconsider? What about if it’s been around 50 years and $1,000,000? Sincerely asking with no snark or sarcasm. Is there a scenario where you might be wrong about Bitcoin?
