France taught me the prettiest days can still end with paperwork.
crypto taught me the calmest nights can still end with a red candle.
travel taught me cheap flights are never actually cheap.
food is somehow still carrying this whole operation.
I post the evidence.
In korea, showing up to someone's housewarming with a giant pack of toilet paper is completely normal
it's supposed to mean "may everything in your new home go smoothly" because the paper unrolls smoothly
imagine trying to explain that to someone in france while holding 24 rolls
I speak three languages and english is the only one that makes me say "the day after tomorrow"
french has après-demain
korean has λͺ¨λ , and then keeps going:
κΈνΌ = 3 days from now
κ·ΈκΈνΌ = 4 days from now
english had "overmorrow" once and just let it go
Some jokes are hilarious in korean and completely die in french
nothing humbles me faster than having to explain why something is funny
it was funny in korean i swear
The crypto scam that scares me most doesn't even need a suspicious link
it's called address poisoning
scammers send a tiny or zero-value transaction from a wallet address that looks almost identical to one you've used before
the goal? get you to copy their address from your transaction history next time you send crypto
an october report found $76 million lost to this on ethereum in just one year
before sending:
- don't copy addresses from your transaction history
- use a verified saved address or get it directly from the recipient
- check the entire address, especially the middle
the scary part is that receiving the tiny transaction doesn't steal your money
copying the wrong address later can
