  • Coming from a humid country (…england…), I never understood the need to have a glass of water near the bed. Doesn’t that just guarantee that you need to get up and pee in the middle of the night?

    Then I spent one week in Beijing. One glass would not cut it.









  • Well I’m probably reading too much into it, but I just think that being publicly revulsed by yourself, even in jest, teaches others how to treat you.

    I know that going the other way is the path to narcissism/arrogance, and pointing out your faults keeps you humble and telegraphs that you have no defences because you dont need any… but I think that works only if you assume that people dont take others at face value. Which we all unfortunately do.

    Not really sure what I’m advising here, or what the middleground exactly is here, but hopefully you can see where I’m coming from
