That and people you tend to meet who self-promote are generally wankers and just get laughed at.
Outside the civilised confines of Dissensus of course...

is it a case of US slang not translating? do you use "fuck" in this way in the UK?

hi mister, i remember you mentioned this thing which grabs any audio that is playing on your computer... what was that shit called again? (by the way your inbox is full)
NEVERMIND FOUND IT!!! a belated thanks!
This sounds useful... what's it called?
I prefer IShowU. It's essential.
yeah? and it's freeware? what i really want is a program that can capture screenshots from video files like avi's. i know it's out there.
how about a thread where we compare some interesting differences...
one thing i've noticed after moving to Germany is that the (perhaps overly) confident swagger encouraged in the United States is very much frowned upon here.
as a kid i was taught to always be humble in China, half full bottle being the loudest and all.
in America i've had to learn to act a little bit "I'm the motherfucking SHIT". this seemed necessary to push myself out there, to get my voice heard, or get my work noticed -- in the corporate sector, art world, music circuit. perhaps yours are different but my experiences in America was that the meek, quiet, and humble do not get the job/gallery space/club booking (or even girl).
but this did not translate well in Germany at all. here it seems like ego should be very much concealed. seems if you walk into a situation with that kind of energy people really just switch off. first time i noticed was when i first got here, one night standing outside a club i was asked what kind of dj i was and i replied "better than the mediocre one in there that's for sure" and the reaction was very clearly not the positive one i expected.
i don't know, maybe this is all so subjective, and dependent on so many other cultural specifics and other factors involving personality and others that a sweeping generalization about an entire culture makes next to no sense (regional differences and all)...
but what's it like in England would you say?
other types of differences welcome...
Prnt Scrn - puts a screengrab in the clipboard.shift apple 4 on mac - screenshot. pc dunno.

Just started reading this, which refers to this study, which suggests that it is due to status competition and evaluative threats (it's a front to hide vulnerability etc). This is more pronounced in inequal societies.
(my bolded emphasis.)
think you're on to something there, Matt.
i'd admittedly be interested in studies comparing these sorts of things from developing economies as a case by case, too.
for eg Paraguay's one of the least equal societies on earth, no? maybe there w a slightly more egalitarian developing economy.
