You reply in the comments, and i try to guess your age based on a short conversation we have. That's it!

Vary interesting. I definitely agree with the superiority complex thing. Tell me more about your personal relationships, that may include friends, family and partners. What do you hope to enhance, or are striving for within them?

To treat them with more compassion. To react less sharply. For them to feel safer around me and with me.

Okay, how thoughtful hehe. In what way do you wish to make an impact either in a field or to people around you, and are you actually moving towards it?

I help software professionals make sense of and make peace with the dysfunction in their workplace. And I believe I'm doing that fairly well.

Oh, so like an organizational consultant. That's nice. How long have you been doing it for?

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It seems like an answer to that question risks rather trivially giving away my age, so I won't answer that one. 😉

Oh come on man😅. That ain't fair. I need something to go off of. Okay, do you travel a lot? And if you do, tell me some of the places you've been to

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I travel a lot now. I traveled a lot in the past. I travel across Canada now and I traveled around Europe in the past. I have traveled a lot between Munich and the western Russia border.

I lived for three months in Reykjavík, for three months in Mazatlán, and for parts of a few years I lived a few months per year in Stockholm.

Ok, i think i have an age in mind. You haven't given me much to go on, but i have a hunch you might be in your 50s. Maybe 51?

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Close enough. I made it too easy for you. 👍

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No you didn't make it easy for me😂. You didn't even answer one of the questions that would've made it easy. Although i guess your not answering kinda gave me a clue too. Anyways, thanks for playing:D
