Swedish is my third language. As I became more proficient in it, I quickly realized how many nuances and how much content you actually miss by only communicating in English while you live in Sweden.
How do you phrase your refusal? I am not looking for work right now, and my current job didn't give me live coding sessions. I'm against them in principle.
But I can't figure out how to phrase it in a way that doesn't sound like you're dodging. Do you refuse while you're already in the interview? Or do you make a preemptive disclaimer when they invite you for a "technical interview"?
I do, even if it's a bot, because maybe it's not. I have worked on 2nd+ line tech support, and I'd often see 1st line getting mistreated by customers. I could never do 1st line.
I used to live straight in the volcano ring, even with a huge tragedy happening in a town nearby the year before I was born. I could see the snowy top of our local volcano every morning.
But now I live in Sweden. Not only no volcanos or earthquakes but also no hurricanes, tornados, landslides, nothing. It's just flat and chill.
We even requested for a refund in 2022; still no answer. No communication at all. Don't even know what to do about it in terms of legal processes, it was certainly not an insignificant amount of money for us.
Makes me happy that some people can enjoy being DM because otherwise I wouldn't be able to play. I'm often too worried about messing with people, and my sense of mischief works better when it's my own character I'm getting into trouble.
