   I'm a little bit drunk. Very comf drunk.
   
   I had two drinks in an hour, I usually have no more than one.
   
   I would like some Swedish HK fedi friends and we would hang and just eat pancakes and split pea soup and we'd look at our phones and say nothing.
   
   But that's a ridiculously small demographic.
   
   Maybe add Scots? They seem a bit Swedish in their general life persuasion. But not so many fedi HK Scots either. I think.

     Well done, autocorrect.

     @stevenroose hey
     
     No autocorrect here, not even after sangria.
     
     That's an interesting thought. Alcometers for enabling/disabling autocorrect?
     
     Or maybe just a threshold "ok that's enough I'm stepping in".

     @clacke Why not just autocorrect always? I just got a new phone and the default keyboard on it didn't have autocorrect, boy did I type slow and bad. Had to switch back to Swiftkey unfortunately :/

     @stevenroose My experience is that it automiscorrects more often than not. I just check my text one more time, or not, it's fine.

     "verschlimmbessern" is one of my favorite German words. "Misimproving" might be the best English translation.
     
     Autocorrect would destroy both, incidentally.

     @clacke I want to speak Swedish with people in the Washington DC area, do you happen to know any?

     @shapr I went to DC once, 23 years ago.
     
     That's a no I'm afraid. I know four Swedes who used to be in NYC years ago, at different times, but they eventually returned to the old country.

     @clacke @shapr

     *shrug* I know a family of Swedes in NYC. I don't really understand the point you're trying to make- people come and go out of NYC. It's a very intense place.

     @emacsen @shapr My point is that I knew Swedes on the east coast but now I don't, much less DC.

     I have (or at least had) a Finnish friend in HK.

     Could he count?

     @emacsen He could. Is he an introvert? =)
