When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.
The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.
One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.
When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:
“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”
We will be back.
Brazil has proposed a bill with new protections for gamers 🇧🇷
• After support ends, publishers would need to either enable offline play, provide the community with tools to keep the game running, or offer proportional refunds
• Publishers would have to disclose online-server requirements and guarantee at least 2 years of support after launch in Brazil
• Players would need to be notified at least 180 days before a game's online services are shut down
• Lawmakers have also requested an investigation into Sony’s plan to end physical PlayStation disc production in 2028

The most surreal thing of our trip so far. Currently driving towards Louisiana and the radio station we were listening to started talking about our trip and played Ella Langley especially for us😭😭😭
Ask yourself why a Twitch streamer was taking 40 Americans on a convoy to Communist Cuba.
Ask yourself why Code Pink, a radical feminist group, was organizing it.
Ask yourself where the money came from.
The Treasury Department is asking those same questions.
And the answers? Potentially tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
Hasan Piker spent YEARS telling you America was the villain while torturing his dog on Twitch.
The real villain?
Hint: it’s usually the guy electroshocking his dog while taking Communist kickbacks.
Wow, I found my senior high school photo of my Business Teacher and me, Ms. Lu, back in 2005. She shaped me into the person I am today. She was so hard on me, and I didn't get it at the time.
I remember the time she gave me an after-school detention for scoring an 85 on my Accounting test. The rule for this exam was that if you scored below 70, you would receive detention. As no surprise, the 8 Asian students in our class scored 105, and I was the only student who scored in the 80s. The rest of the class failed, and yet she still handed me a detention.
I thought she was picking on me. I was furious, and she pulled me aside. Then she told me why she made this decision.
Ms. Lu: You're so smart and yet so lazy. You do the bare minimum to get by. The look on your face after receiving that 85, you settled for that score, knowing you have the potential to aim much higher. You are an "A" student, nothing less. There's hope for you, and I don't want you going through life doing the bare minimum and settling for it.
She told me that I can score a 105 and I didn't believe her. I didn't believe I was as smart as those Asian students in my class. But she told me I am just as smart as them if I stop being lazy.
Boy, that put flame under my ass, because the next Exam I scored a 110, 5 points higher than the smartest Asian Girl in the class at the time. She was pissed and in disbelief that I had a higher score than her. The class was generally surprised that I pulled it off. Since then, I was an "A" student in her class. I even surprised myself, and I thank Ms. Lu for that.
I miss my teacher. I wonder how life is going for her right now?
