Had a real neato encounter yesterday. I was queued up in 2fort to grind out contracts painfully and had to interface with an ornery lout who joined and not even two minutes in begins to instigate benign conflict to front his warranted acute performative manliness. I offered my warmness and growth mindset towards this individual and this was the outcome. I don't know if this measures up to a victory without having to participate in an hvh, but I don't think I'll want to again, it seems mentally exhausting and taxing spiritually.
