Are you a good communicator? 🔊

I’m a work in progress 👷‍♂️
I try to be conscious of my approach 🗣️
I listen a lot more than I used to 👂
Disengage a lot more when frustrated 🛑

It’s a skill that can be gained and lost
So I’ll try to stay sharp

After all
Without it
We fall apart

@jacktla @FBadmanPhuket I was gonna say I’d walk out if I saw that although I suppose in your position I’d probably show a little neighbourly decency, grit my teeth and bare it

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

This is great television

An hour well wasted if you can spare it

[Matthew Keys @MatthewKeysLive]

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

I don’t often recommend follows…

But my god, this guy is one of the great thinkers of our time 😅

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

Another day of almost taking the bait

Another night I’ll sleep better for not getting in a social media fight

And I’ll need that sleep

Back to work tomorrow!

@NPBGaijin I guess it contains a sedative used for anesthesia, so kind of similar to people huffing nitrous oxide (laughing gas).

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@jacktla @hp88 @ohazassu More content people should be what I’m gonna call a confluencer. No sensationalism. No pretension. We flow together!

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@jacktla Yeah maybe I did too but I forgot? 😅

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

Were there always so many follow recommendations or are we in a bit of a moment here?

Maybe I engaged with one too many.. I’m getting bombarded!

There’s some decent ones to be sure but it seems a bit much overall

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@davidrmunson The ephemerality of it all. Beautifully said.

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@davidrmunson GIVE PEOPLE THE CHOICE TO SAY NO 😅

Obviously I hope they say YES. Enjoying the essays so far!

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

Apparently NASA got permission from whoever lives on the moon to do their flyby

Couldn’t be just some wacko talking, could it?

Nah… I mean if it’s in the mainstream media it’s a lie, so if it’s from the ‘alternative media’ it must be true

Right?

🙃

@jacktla The funny thing about Reddit tho is we were probably on radically different subreddits, so good to bump into you here!

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@jacktla Honestly I just switched to Reddit for a while 😅

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@jacktla And apparently I now call it X 🤦‍♂️

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@jacktla You can see how poor my X game is these days… Just noticed you’re here now. Yōkoso!

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@PicoIyer We share bad habits but we also (I hope) share coping mechanisms as well. Good with the bad and all that.

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@davidrmunson My pleasure!

Stories from someone who happens to live in Japan

Who is usually up to cool things

Mundane things too, I’m sure

Join me in digging in to these 50+ essays

[David R Munson @davidrmunson]

My newest publication is now available, a compilation of 56 personal essays on life in Japan. These are mostly philosophical in nature, rather than informational or about travel.

The ebook is now available, paperback coming soon.

Shares appreciated! (links in the replies)

@davidrmunson @uncleweed David, I followed Dave into the breach. Looking forward to reading these. Congrats on getting them together/out there.

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

@uncleweed Appreciate the comment. Been trying to rewire the old noggin towards being more positive, so it’s a reminder for myself as well

[Christian Tschirhart @cetsch]

One of the most powerful practices I have encountered is taking on the negativity of others and sending out positivity to them

Negativity in, positivity out

The truth is that it doesn’t overburden you with negativity as you might imagine

It helps you to transcend it
