Oh that's the worst. I guess the bright side of it is that you're getting paid for a very long and boring night. What was the most interesting reel that you saw tonight if you didn't end up completely brain rotting yourself? lol

China looks pretty cool tbh. Do you do any martial arts? I used to do jiu jitsu and shotakan karate.

I guess the best way to put it would be what my sensei explained about it--other martial arts have a lot about fighting. Shotakan is more of an art. It can be used for fighting but it's more about form and movement. There's sets of movements called katas that are kind of like a martial arts dance with steps that you have to learn.
There's a MV from Sia for "Alive" that features a young Shotakan artist. She's really good!

Oh okay I understand, I do like that style of martial art keeps it feeling like an art instead of a sport

Oh there is still sparring and matches for it (kumite) and it's still pretty physically exerting as it requires very tight control and a lot of leg strength. Just in terms of use on the street, that's where it's more art than anything else. My sensei's grandmaster used to be a Guardian Angel in LA until things went very wrong for her one night. It's too stylized for that kind of thing.

6 hours of waiting, are you a software developer?
I'm late for work, just got on board Öresundstrain and on my way to Denmark. It's so cloudy today, that I probably won't be able to see a big beautiful double rainbow that covers Öresund 😭

Sounds like the best thing in the world to be paid to sit waiting while accessing your phone. Sign me up. And you can nap too!?

Very very long days upwards of 16 hrs a day regularly, its hard work im in Canada so its very cold but down it Texas its horrendously hot, its gross working a vac cleaning and moving nasty fluids makes tou super smelly and stains your skin, and its very dangerous lots of invisible gas that will kill you in seconds, (look up H2S) and tons of other dangerous shit, but if you like working id give it a shot

6 hours in line is brutal 😭 I’d be losing my mind too.
What kind of work are you doing that just has you stuck waiting like that?
