And it was a perfect misunderstanding because then our other friend started chewing this guy out for being so racist.

And then he had to be like, no, I speak Japanese.

I was trying to ask them a question and they didn't hear me.

We actually know so little about the culture.

We know it down to like kind of the sound to where she didn't even realize this person was actually speaking great Japanese.

And so she was like, you must be being racist.

There's no way you speak Japanese.

Wow, wow.

I think for me, it's, I was listening to this podcast and I didn't realize how, when you talk about early tech in some things, like you're talking like 70s all the way to 2000, like some of the tech feels fake, right?

If you talk about tech that hasn't happened yet, it feels like sci-fi and it feels so futuristic.

Yeah, what if you could just stand on this little platform and it was a hoverboard to work or whatever, right?

But then if you go back and you describe how something used to work, that also sounds insane.

And so I was listening to this podcast about some of the first hackers and the inputs that they needed, they were basically, sometimes they were hacking computers, but if they got it like one digit off, it would just be calling someone's phone.

And I heard that and I was like, how is that possible?

And now, like, once it was explained of dial-up and, like, all that stuff, I was like, okay, I still don't even know how hacking works, but I was like, okay, I kind of almost get what you're saying.

But, like, apparently some of the early hackers who were just trying to do mischief, like, they weren't, like, you know... This was not Edward Snowden trying to make a political statement.

No, there was no, like, black hat or, like, anonymous thing.

It was just, like, it was really kids.

It was really, like, once kids learned that they could, like...

eavesdrop on something or they could see the desktop of somebody else.
