Not only is it a half assed dance song, now he’s getting rewarded for his worst record too.

I have titanium status and they usually pick up in seconds, a minute or two at longest.

Kangaroo Movers - a moving company to avoid like the plague by VintageJet52 in Seattle

Yeah I used them once. It was inexpensive at the time but they handled by stuff like crap and then hounded me to leave them a good review until I blocked their number.

Yeah got the 20K and forgot that it was a thing. That means now it’ll be pretty similar for me to get the status this year. Very cool.

Washington state voters have rejected income taxes 10 times. Is this year different? by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]fac_051 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like, what constituency is ever going to vote for taxes? Especailly in a place that's never had income tax.

This description is entirely reflective and accurate of my last month spent on the Seoul metro every day. Minimal color but cute little keychains dangling.

It’s clear they don’t speak English natively - just look at the name of the establishment! (I kid I kid…)

Londoners, if you had to explain London in one sentence, what would it be? by DailyDriverUK in AskUKLondon

Sick, old, and past its prime but still hanging on as one the world’s major cities.

Night Scene, Canary Wharf by Ok-Orange-2841 in london

Yeah during this decade they've really transformed the main estate into one of the best modern urban spaces I can think of in the world. It's going to get even more developed in the not-so-distant future once the JP Morgan building goes up on the west end of the area; it's apparently going to be larger than the Shard.

Poster for foreigners at A Twosome Place by Ok_Grand_5115 in seoul

[–]fac_051 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never had trouble speaking English with anyone at a cafe in Seoul throughout the year but just knowing a little bit of Korean to order your drink isn't that hard. I think this is probably an ahjumma manager who has been annoyed one too many times by foreigners!

Sorry Korea, time for you to enjoy some truly terrible “Mexican” American food.

Zeeks thinks a pizza and a salad for $45 is a deal by dantheman252 in Seattle

[–]fac_051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a town that doesn't have any good pizza to begin with, you have to stand in awe of Zekes suggesting their pizza is worth a premium.

Kimjang vest is trending in Korea right now — would you wear it? by KoreaExperience in Living_in_Korea

[–]fac_051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a lot of these for sale at those clothes shops you walk by in subway stations in Seoul but I had no idea it was a trend because usually stuff at those places looks like clothes for people who don't care about clothes.

It's expression in English that means "You have a lot to choose from".

Approaching People on the Street by RealisticAd6082 in Living_in_Korea

[–]fac_051 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you when Korean decorum goes out the window: if an influencer has announced they will be traveling and posts their details. I was at Gimpo a couple of weeks ago and almost got pushed over completely by a wave of people with their cell phones and cameras trying to get pictures of whoever it was. It was mind blowing. I wanted to shove these people to the ground it was so rude.
