Same. It’s the *pauses scene* to see what language they’re using and if it’s plausible code - of real life.

One day I will have your strength, and on that day people speaking Japanese in bars will finally find peace from me. ... This past weekend was not that day, though...

I'm impressed. I certainly don't have the willpower to do that. *Especially* after a beer or two.

I have actually made some really nice friends by interjecting I similar circumstances so part of my inner conflict here is that it’s simultaneously good to stay out of others business but also maybe they’re friends?

I made a small language back in the day that occasionally did the numbers on HN/reddit. A part of me always hopes I run into someone irl who remembers
