Guangzhou, China takes the cake. I was there for a few weeks. Wrong side of the road, wrong way on one way streets, ON THE FUCKING SIDEWALKS w/ ped traffic. It was insane!

Dominican Republic is a distant second, there was order to the chaos I could see after a few weeks… China it was pure entropy at its finest!

Tell me you have never been oversea’s (let alone drove there) without telling me you have never been overseas.

Everywhere in the world people drive like ass hats. It part of the human condition.

Don’t tell the chinese, they will strip that island clean in a NY minute.

Ramen, PB&J, etc was my goto for lunch. On Fridays I would go out to lunch w/ the team but not everyday like they did. Saved a ton.

Did the same thing on the road and pocketed the per diem… Send off diner was about the only time I went out and I could expense the meal. I was hosting the client after the project was complete per my management.

I fucking HATE BoA, good.

Wow thats a lot to deal with and take in.

Take some comfort as a guy that has dated Asian Americans, Mainland Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans they are all a pain in the ass like the rest. Japanese especially. That whole subservient this is a myth in my experience, not that I was looking for that.

The grass isn’t always greener, you just haven’t seen the other side.

Now the Japanese girl was stupid rich. So that might have been a factor. Every stupid rich girl I have dated is always a total nightmare.

I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.

Naming trees would definitely work. Case in point my buddy owns a big cattle farm. When his kids got older they named some of the calf’s. He warned them thats not a good idea. Kids are kids and they ignored him.

Now he’s not a beef or dairy farmer. He’s a breeder, he has a stable of high quality cows and inseminates them for the calf’s.

So his kids name a bunch of the calf’s, bottle raise them w/ mom cows help then they goto auction. They were devastated that “Daisy” and “Jemirqui” where gone over a weekend.

They never named another cow after that, they learned it was a business the hard way. But humanizing them did change the dynamic. Like with naming tree’s…

Zuzu knew the whole time and never dimed him out at work… Respect.

I was at the beginning “This is friggin awesome! Exactly what tech is supposed to be about”

Then the bomb dropped, man people are weird.

Case in point I was part of one of the first streaming companies online (2000). We would stream wrestling as our biggest draw until we got major sports onboard.

We had an email link for “support” for tech support.

A few days before the wrestling events we would get FLOODED with support emails… Nope not for why they can’t get the test stream to work. But to support their favorite wrestler. It was insane the shit these people would write.

Yeah I was thinking that, just didn’t want to bring up that aspect up. Its got to be trying, but at least you found love! So many others never do, so take some solace in that :)

I had a guy I worked w/ in construction that had the same thing about phillips had to + on the finish side of the build. So we cracked a lot of wall plates too.

Except he would lose his shit if you didn’t, I found another gig soon after.

You are experiencing a severe form of spousal abuse and tree abuse. Fruit trees no it the sun, moved around? I never took any of my plants for a walk like a puppy…

I feel for you my friend, I really do.

I want to name one!

“Mentos: The Fresh Air Maker”

Kinda catchy, might need a marketing campaign, hmmm

I love lamp

Would you like to hear about the soil quality in areas surrounding large cities? Des Moines, Iowa for example?

HAHA reminds me of my mom, I swear she can burn boiling water :)

But I bet is all in the prep and the diet of the GP. Ever eaten grass fed beef from calf to slaughter vs grass “finished”. Its night and day, I can see why grass fed is so expensive.

And I love dark meat on chicken, hope to be able to try it someday!

My Jabong is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Jabong is useless. Without my Jabong I am useless.

I love lamp

Fish? Thats wild, I wouldn’t have expected that!
