Answering emails at my desktop feels like clearing a field.
Like, I imagine I'm outside surrounded by grass that's taller than me, and I'm holding this farmer scythe (Vim + Mutt). And I just keep swinging it around wildly, until the emails are all cleared away and I can see in front of me again.
Look, kids, "I'm just being honest" is not an excuse for being mean. Believe me, I can tell the difference between someone who is being honest because they're trying to help, versus someone looking for an excuse to be mean.
One of the most surprising things you'll discover, if you start writing essays, is that people who disagree with you rarely disagree with what you've actually written. Instead they make up something you said and disagree with that.
Yeah, that sounds like what I remember on the few occasions I see people talking about math contests on Reddit.

TIL I learned that 않다 is a contraction for 아니하다, so -지 않다 is another example of a grammar pattern in Korean that is actually just the composition of simpler principles. I think that's the thing I find really nice about Korean grammar… so many constructions are actually composed from other ones.
