In case it wasn't clear, I was simply clarifying what I meant, and pointing out that such a thing is feasible in the short term.

Some guy was either flirting with me, or harassing me.  I'm not sure which.

Isn't that what it usually sounds like?  Call it flirting and feel good about yourself for fobbing him off.

That must either be the creepiest harasser or the worst flirter ever.

My guess is "trying to flirt", but since that doesn't resolve the question of what he was succeeding in doing that probably doesn't help you. Given the lack of mutual exclusivity (I think undesired flirting usually falls under harassment, for instance) it's a murky question.[/nothing new]

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

He was flirting unpleasantly and in such a way that I wasn't sure if he was trying to falsely draw me into his confidences in order to drag the rug out from under me (because I'm easy to pick on), or chat me up (for flirting reasons, or in order to acquire a study partner).  There was also statements about sending emails back and forth with his friends about me, and he asked me for both my email address and whether I was going to be at the professor's office hours this Wednesday.  This was the first time we'd ever talked...

Either way, it didn't feel so good.  I'm not sure what I'll be doing about it.

Feh.

Well, I'll just wait and see if he's worth flirting back with.  The flattery was kind of nice, all the same ':3

Casual racism from a co-worker about Polish immigrants. The irony being that he is also an immigrant but of different descent. What's worse is that it was embedded in a dirty story itself embedded in a series of one sided sexual brags. I don't know why he feels the need to talk about this kind of thing non stop.

Woke up in the middle of the night and holy shit my head. More ibuprofen than is recommended and a shower have succeeded in reducing the amount of pain in any one place, but spreading it across my entire head instead of having it localized to just my left temple. Hooray diffusion. I didn't know it applied to senses. Also, intense nausea.

He has a small dick.

Or, well, general inferiority complex stuff.
