Yes - after I nearly drowned in the ocean as a child, I was promptly enrolled in swimming lessons.

Did you get a job before moving? Just curious about the logistics of a visa

Maybe it would be a more difficult choice if it was between Intelligence or Constitution (i.e. physical health)

Intelligence can be attractive too! And even in the cases where it’s not, I think I can always go for surgery or something if it’s really that bad.

Intelligence can be learnt, but it’s much harder than say, correcting one’s facial features or getting into shape imo.

Climate, not being able to retire on time

Thank you for the encouragement!

To get a better job than the one I have now. But the effort required to study for interviews is rather daunting…

The atmosphere in the air. Offices get quieter and shopping malls get merrier (assuming no crying children or arguing parents)

I don’t watch streams, but I do watch a lot of Let’s Plays (i.e. Materwelonz, WoolieVersus). Sometimes to watch them play games that I normally wouldn’t, sometimes to listen to their insights at certain hype points in games I previously played, and usually due to loneliness (i.e. parasocial relationships).

Regarding the last point, it also tends to be the reason I gravitate towards games with strong story, or MMOs. Feeling like I belong to a community keeps the loneliness at bay. Outside of games, I like to be in crowded areas, though not necessarily interacting with anyone.

I used to memorize the Greek Alphabet when I was young

There are 24 letters in the Greek Alphabet, so I missed 4.

Eh, I usually just lurk, unless I have something meaningful to contribute (which is rare, my mind is blank and tired most of the time)

Heh, I too used that name in my childhood days :)
