I wish my enemies were more logical. They just make bullshit up and bully me instead. Completely useless for self-improvement.

Saaaaaame. It hits different when your enemies are unethical sociopaths.

I think this post would resonate more for me, personally, if "enemy" was replaced with "curmudgeon".. but then it probably wouldn't get as many clicks.

Oh, it must be dreamy to have a costumed nemesis. Chasing you... wringing his gloved hands in concern of your every move. It sounds so romantic.. 🥰

There are some tech circles where you'll get more and better help posting a blatantly wrong solution than if you straight ask for help.

You can measure the quality of a man by the measure of his enemies
