  • Met a girl while being an English teacher in China. She was originally from New York. She had a very distinctive voice, very hard to forget.

    Fast forward 10 years. I’m at the Santa Monica Pier playing Pokemon Go with my brother. Suddenly, THAT VOICE. I’m like… No… That isn’t possible. I keep on walking.

    We reach the end of the pier, and turn around. And BOOM. There she is. We make eye contact, and are both like wtffff.

    Turns out she moved there to do a podcast or something.

    Anyway cool shit



  • Hey! So you may have noticed that you got downvoted into oblivion here. It is because of the unnecessary amount of negativity in your comment.

    In communication, there are two parts - how it is delivered, and how it is received. In this interaction, you clearly stated your point: giving yourself the title of pro oftentimes means the person is not a pro.

    What they received, however, is far different. They received: ugh this sweaty asshole is gatekeeping coding.

    If your goal was to convince this person not to call themselves a pro going forward, this may have been a failed communication event.

    I think for people who have had long distance relationships it kinda is. Like I would say something like that to my ex, but we both knew it was impossible. Sort of a dark humor but you do what you have to do in those situations
