So at my new job, we’ve installed AIM, to communicate with each other and with readers of the website we publish. Yesterday, I got a sales message from a guy on there, and I politely declined. Today, he messaged me again. To talk about Jackie Chan’s new movie.

(Of course, I added all the links. Those were not in the original conversation. Also, I changed his name to “Joe” so nobody else can bother him. I think “true man” movies are like “action” movies in China.)
