If you can have a line of this long in one of the shittiest areas of San Francisco you're doing something right -

i cannot recommend highly enough adopting the habits of seeing the best in people, looking for the good, finding same-sidedness, holding goodwill towards all, choosing kindness in all circumstances, inclining towards the high road, living with love moment by moment, day by day
"treat people less than" i.e. treated her like a person who couldn't afford to pay $15,000 for a bird? girl that's literally all of the rest of us
Cool, cool. Sure, it wasn’t for sale. That’s the narrative Art of Play is gonna go with 👍 so the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall with the title Singing Bird didn’t happen as you elevator eyed me saying in a condescending tone “yes, it’s for sale but it costs 15,000 dollars so if you’d like me to find something comparable for you I can.” That all never happened and now it’s not for sale. Okay, cool. So you’re not only rude, you’re also a liar. Got it ✅
And by the way, I obviously support small businesses because I was literally at a small business trying to purchase things. I love small businesses and know they are important and I always support them, but you don’t get a free pass to treat people less than in your store just because you are a small business. It’s not that hard to be kind. I never blast people but you my friend were an exception.
Your store is really cool.
Unfortunately, you aren’t.
it's hard to unravel all the layers of external expectations and desires but at the end of the day you really just have to do what you want

We’re rarely attracted to someone just because of how they look.
We’re drawn to them because we see something in them that we deeply want to feel… or become. That magnetic pull? It’s rarely random.
Psychologists call this aspirational attraction and self-expansion. When we meet someone who embodies qualities we admire: confidence, freedom, emotional depth, creativity, strength or peace our brain lights up.
Carl Jung spoke about projection: we often project our own untapped potential, desires, or “golden shadow” onto others. What we admire in them is usually something our soul is calling us to develop within ourselves. Attraction can be a mirror. We’re attracted to the version of ourselves we glimpse through them.
So next time you feel deeply drawn to someone, ask yourself: “What quality in them am I craving to feel or become?” That answer is usually the next version of you waiting to emerge.

this is so embarrassing…even the dude at the elon musk afters who made the clutch move of ordering pizza did so at 1am
as for the original context: the original post is clearly referring to spoken mandarin, so Laurent is wrong. her pronunciation is quite far from that, not just "accented"
she probably did know standard written chinese (~written mandarin), as would any educated chinese person
... because that is how a shanghainese-only speaker would communicate in a modern formal setting, which is exactly what's happening here
is it "shanghainese accented mandarin"? well it's not how a shanghainese educated in spoken mandarin would speak
is it "shanghainese"? it's not shanghainese grammar, but one could argue that the formal register of shanghainese is essentially just written mandarin

shocking, as soon as I completed almost all of my todos and largely mitigated my health issues, I’m suddenly much more interested in reaching out to distant friends and going to parties
this comes after I gained some financial security, resolved my emotional bottlenecks, found/created work I love, and moved in with a girl I love
It’s almost as if Maslow was right. There’s an order to which Life Bottlenecks must be resolved

With relationships, I always think of this Banksy piece ‘I want to be what you saw in me’. The sweet spot seems like being deeply accepted while also being called toward your full potential

some therapists say that malignant narcissism/NPD is what naturally develops when a person's Mask deviates so far from their authentic core Self, that there is no longer any hope of closing the gap

I asked an L7 engineer at openai if they could build an isolated vlan with strict outbound 443 with ip whitelist
They said they cant. They dont know how
