        Pro tip: if someone says something is anything based on race or regional group, they are likely lying to you. Double if group is asian. Double again if china. “Ancient Chinese wisdom” is actually, by some mathematical quirks, 103.7% likely to not be from china.

          The whole “well shit” portion is because I usually don’t buy into that stuff, and this was legit an eye opener for me. I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment. But I’m lazy.

            But I got the opportunity to make a dumb joke about math that you seemingly got mildly butthurt about, so really it all works out.

              I read my reply a few times now, and I’m not seeing what makes you think my feeling was hurt? I was by no means offended, thought we were just talking?
              If I had been offended, believe you me, you would know.
              Regardless, wasn’t offended before, and certainly not offended now. I work construction, have my whole adult life, being delicate doesn’t do one any favours.
              Enjoy your day.
