@SexyCyborg You probably have a pretty unique perspective on this, being who you are, and what you do, where you are... I am curious as to exactly what you consider to be a first-world problem, as my entire knowledge of you is from your reddit posts, and your culture is one that I only experience through the American filter.

Genuine interest in your experience, hopefully not condescending.

@TheGibson Specifics would be rude. It can quickly turn into the oppression olympics- my "problems are worse than yours". A lot of my Internet friends have these problems- and to them it's real, and I am sympathetic because based on their background it's really, really bad. That being said nearly all the outrages that show up in my timeline would represent a vast improvement in my life should they happen to me. That gets exhausting.

@SexyCyborg Understood, and understood.

I find cultural exchange key to combating the socio-political walls erected in ancient times.

FWIW Your work is impressive. I particularly liked the cosmetic case RPi. I believe that was you... was it not?

You make good stuff. Please keep up the work.
