Korean lesson of the day: 벼락부자.

벼락 (byeorak) means thunderbolt or lightning.

부자 (buja) means rich person or wealthy person.

When combined 벼락부자 conveys the image of someone who suddenly becomes rich, often unexpectedly or without the slow accumulation usually expected by previous generations.

벼락부자 is nearly every young Korean's dream. No hard work expected, just sudden riches. That's probably also why degen gambling is so rampant here.

Thanks for informing us, some of the early markets had issues (even though they were resolved, but shows awaiting resolution ), but we will take a look at all your bets and fix it tomorrow, if that's okay? Also, we'll make sure you have been paid for all the resolved markets.

I'm currently logged in, but something's messed up with how it's using my lightning address. I'm able to make purchases, but not sales.

14 sats \ 3 replies \ @mega_dreamer 12 Nov

Yes, I noticed same as well, something is messed up with sell, please try with lower shares 100-200 for now.

We found the root cause, but it will be few days to get it working perfectly. We were using limit sell order flow (meaning you set a sale price, which is pre-set as of now), however, our orderbook still needs more work.

Temporarily, we'll be switching to spot sell order (meaning you will sell at what the current/market price is on the server). If someone sold/bought before that very second, just before you, you may get a slightly different sale price. With this no more nagging "Failed Order" to cancel.

Once we fix our orderbook, then we'll re-enable limit buy/sell where you can actually set a future buy/sell price.

“Give them bread and circuses, and they will never rebel” - Juvenal

In ancient Rome, the poet Juvenal ironically expressed the phrase: "panem et circenses". Bread and circuses.

He criticized the strategy of power to silence the people, to keep them calm and happy.

As long as people had their bellies satiated with bread and their minds distracted with games, they would overlook the rest of the problems.

Two thousand years later, the world is very different, but the concept of "bread and circuses" is still alive.

Instead of gladiators in coliseums we have football, Netflix and TikTok.

Instead of emperors throwing wheat to the crowd, we have politicians handing out subsidies.

And I don't criticize it.

We need basic material security and some entertainment.

But don't settle for that.

And don't be a slave to it.

Don't stop fighting to improve, both individually and socially.

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @Lux 12 Nov

Is there any irrefutable proof that gladiators fought in colosseums? Or that "circuses" means "gladiators in colosseums"? I know there were games (like today olympics etc) and for sure there were fighters, but, colosseums didn't have stands for the spectators, and there was no space for all that..

Depends upon where you go in South Asia, there are no seats because you don’t sit to do your business, you squat. This goes for many parts of Southeast and East Asia, too. You might have noticed that people do a lot of “hunkering down” there. Other places don’t have the knees for it, anymore.

Step Four

At this stage of the negotiation, you will have noted several false claims, and if the person making those claims has not left, they are continuing with their demise.

Even though they have violated your rights at this point, you must continue with respect and honour, although you can be a little more forceful at this point.

Remember, to win you MUST stay within honour, and they must be with dishonour.

So, even though you are setting them up, you must give them a forewarning and begin pointing out their mistakes; again, get all this on the record.
