Casual Conversation

It's freeing in a way, I don't have to do any extra processing in my head, and I can just see the posts and comments for what they are. You should try it too!

Today is election day in South Korea and it's a special one for our family because my wife was able to vote for the first time here in Korea after getting her Korean citizenship last year.

Similar to yesterday how i posted the men's mental health awareness post?

Or is there a dedicated community for that kinda stuff?

Mine hit me with the “We're spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

Like.....okay??? Thanks for the emotional receipt, I guess??

For me, driving. Its not that driving is difficult or i'm just not able to drive. Its that there are just too many awful drivers and pedestrians you have to care about on the road.

While my son played one season of T-ball five years ago, I still consider this his first season playing baseball. In fact, a lot of the players on his team have never played before.

They did manage to make it into the second round (out of three) of the end of season tournament. This is where my son made his first big play. He was playing short stop, and the kid at bat hit a pop fly that my son managed to catch.

He was so thrilled, and shocked, by the catch that he proudly stood there with both hands in the air. Unfortunately there were people on base, and he forgot to throw the ball back infield, but all of the parents agree that it was okay given how awesome the catch was.

I jumped up so fast, and was screaming/cheering so hard, that I literally fainted (i.e. got dizzy and lost the ability to stand). I couldn’t be more proud of him.

This may sound like an "and then everybody clapped" thing but consider that ultimately if I was to lie I'd come up with something more dramatic 😄

So I was walking through the park and came by a bench with the words "Kein Platz für Gewalt an Frauen" (= No room for violence against women) written on it. I sat down next to the writing and started reading a book when this girl, maybe 9 or 10, came by and gave the bench a long, focused stare before gleefully letting her mother and grandmother know about the writing. You could tell it genuinely had an impact on her, like she felt seen. And her family looked happy for her too and affirmed that, yes, this is a great message.

Especially in a place like a public park where women often feel particularly unsafe it was nice to see that a little act of vandalism managed to remind a young girl that this is hers to enjoy too, and without fear.

I’ll start. Booked a hotel next weekend via a big blue hotel booing site. Get a phone call today from the accomodation provider asking for payment. Told them to take it via the booking site. They say no, and I will lose my reservation. Booking site says pay the accomodation direct. Go on the accomodation site and I can’t book for the days I wanted. WTF arrrrrgh.

So back when I was in middle school, I used to always wear this hoodie. One time I was sitting down, and this guy behind me started toying with the hood of my hoodie. Pulling on it and stuff. Now I didn't really mind so I just let it happen.

Then suddenly I felt really sleepy and leaned my head back. I don't remember what happened next. I just woke up with a tingly sensation all over my body. Pins and needles everywhere. They told me I was shaking but I don't remember shaking. And they said my eyes were red.

I assume the guy pulling on the hood had something to do with it. I mean it wasn't tooo tight around my neck that I was choking or anything but it was definitely tensed for a while.

I still don't really know what exactly happened. It was a nice nap though ngl. I felt really sleepy and just leaned my head back and everything went away 😌
