Have you given any thought to the possibility that some force, be it whatever you want to call it, it pushing you and the Asian girl together? I am not talking about just the Tinder algorithm. Like, where did you get the idea that Korea was where you wanted to go? What gave you the idea that you needed to leave the U.K.?

crazy story uzique. she's cute too but sucks u sent her down a path of making beep blop and elevator music. nah for real tho that's awesome. i agree with mac that this is fate or work of god (if u believe). most likely you are gonna end up marrying her or having a kid if u move out there, trust me.

strictly, no. i’ve wanted to live in a foreign country for most of my 20s but have had to keep a tight orbit around my family and friends. my best friend moved to korea straight after university and spent his 20s moving from place to place: he said korea was his favourite by quite a margin (and he’s not a ‘korea boo’ anything like that).

i mean, if you’re going to move away as an experiment or experience or whatever, the list of viable countries is not that long if you want to maintain modern-city living. japan and korea are going to appear on every list.

korean girls are stunning. it has like the highest beauty standards (and biggest cosmetics industry) of like anywhere. it’s hard to find a korean who isn’t well-dressed and concerned with their appearance to some degree. no surprises a red-blooded male will get tangled with a few.

the likelihood of the above story is incredibly rare and does make me laugh. it’s quite astonishing. but i’m not being guided to another country by god for the sake of one girl. it’s a plan i’ve had on the back burner for the better part of a decade.

why do i want to leave the U.K. or live in another country? i don’t know, i think this is quite a strange question for a european, where perhaps most americans are incurious by contrast. the desire to escape my known environment and culture? to get outside the box for a while? to experience a totally different life for a bit before i choose where, and in what fashion, to settle down? to challenge myself? or, from another angle: the fact the U.K. has been a depressing place to be these last few years? feelings of decline? no-deal brexit and poor prospects? stagnant wages? looming recession? generational apathy? or, more personally: the fact i’ve had to sacrifice and suspend so many of my own ambitions in my 20s, the fact i’ve lived in suspended grief over my brother, etc?

i mean, just on a basic level, it seems crazy to me that someone wouldn’t want to move away for at least a phase of their life. it’s a story and trajectory as old as the homeric epic. wanderlust, man!

besides, everyone knows that conatus is the principle
of the universe.

A few years ago I was on vacation in greece and met this aussie guy with whom I hung out and partied with for about a week, it was a good bromance and after 7 days we bid our farewells.

9 months later I was travelling through argentina and was staying in a place in buenos aires. By pure chance the same guy checked in a day after I had arrived and we did the same thing for a week, just half a world away this time.

We had planned to participate in the rickshaw run but then covid came.

Chance meetings are pretty mindfuck and fun. I knew when you started writing about a sunny day in bristol and having friends that this was a fictionalised account though. Good read nonetheless A+, I hope once you get to korea you'll get actual pussy and won't have to turn to fanfic about how your star wars laser sounds overlaid on a fruityloops beat got all the azn women going crazy

bristol is extremely sunny, dipshit! the south-west of the UK, cornwall especially, is pretty warm and temperate in the summer. it's right there in the gulf stream baby! azure blue waters and wide open skies. bristol is a very 'outdoors', european-style city. people just congregate around the water and eat and drink alfresco through summers.

e.g.

my apartment is all of 4 minutes' walk from here.

you're trying way too hard in that last paragraph. it's not good writing. feather the pedals, man, feather them!

Are you serious? He's clearly green. He's not saying his own goddamn name at the start. The one traveling is certainly gonna be the one who's a "guest". I dare say for years most messaging services put you on the right side.

i couldn’t care less if it is or not. you probably think people are doing drug deals over popular messaging apps. very quaint.

whatsapp became popular literally over a decade ago in an era when free messaging via data was novel. i mean, i remember having to top-up my phone with credit in my undergrad days because each text - and most people uses texts - cost money. where have you been for 10 years?! other than not messaging people.

tbf whatsapp is sorta associated with drug dealing and shit to a certain degree. cheap unlimited data has been common for well over 10 years though i think at least in the US

I learned from an expat Youtuber that apparently Whatsapp and similar messaging services are much more common outside the US as the main modality for communicating. SMS text messages became way less popular for the average person. I do use Snapchat and FB Messenger with my friends much more regularly than previously, but texting still seems the norm. Maybe it's associated with drug dealers and burner phones here because there's not a market share among hoi polloi idk.

yep about 3/4s of all our communication is via whatsapp. no more messenger really and hardly ever texts. the U.K. uses whatsapp, including top politicians and covens of MPs.

Snow

Snow while work from home is pretty legit. I felt like a kid again playing with the snow in my backyard today. Don't have to shovel out a car because I don't have anywhere I need to go.

There's a number of reasons to shovel out your car anyway that I probably shouldn't have to lecture a NJ resident on.

- Snow left on a car can compact and be way harder to remove later.
- It's nice to do for your brake pads and seals which can be damaged if left.
- Bodywork can be damaged under the weight of the snow.
- Visibility for plows, and also you don't want that muddy, salty chemical crap settling on your paint job and corroding metals.

Clear that shit from your exhaust before starting.

Salt corrodes underside of cars in our area regardless of what you do.

Anyway more good news. Starting Wednesday I will be on break until Jan. 4th. I got a new vape pen in my life too. Going to play video games and get high. Thank you taxpayers.

Unfun fact: the NFL actually takes a bunch of measures to prevent cheerleaders and NFL players from fraternizing. The NFL players can't be trusted to not abuse the cheerleaders.

Another unfun fact: NFL cheerleaders had to use legal means to get NFL teams to stop treating them like slaves.

The Washington Football Team owner was also treating them like party favors for wealthy donors.

Cheerleaders seems like an antiquated concept imo, kinda like grid girls of formula 1. I wouldn't be surprised if they go the way of the dodo in the next few decades.

Of course it's antiquated, and as a result, beloved by people with antiquated social sensibilities.

An NFL player kneeled for the national anthem and it resulted in snowflakes destroying their Nike gear. You think they will just roll over and let you take their eye candy?
