I knew they were trying to trick me with … ::: spoiler Spoilers]

It’s never both poles 😆

:::

It a saying from Ubuntu (the philosophy not the operating system) “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu” in English it’s “I am because you are” It’s a simple and concrete way of saying how we’re not judged by how we treat others but we are who we are through our interactions with others.

Honestly I’ve only browsed through a bit of philosophy and I’m sure I missing a heap but it really struck me.

That fascinating. I wonder if it’s a cultural thing or a grammar thing? Most Asian countries have a stereotype of being polite so I’d take a guess at the grammar of Asian languages making it harder to put a mood changing word in a question maybe,

That orange man has never said Please in his entire lifetime

I just looked up please and thank you in ASL and now I know. Thank you.

It’s hard for most people to remember that the perfect should never become the enemy of the good. Sure remaking our entire capitalist system to put people and the planet first would be great but just making someone out there feel less alienated and alone in their troubles is a good step. Every journey starts somewhere and just because the next step isn’t in to paradise doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take that next step. But also just keep moving forward.

Thanks Romanian sounds quite challenging

I actually really like most Parisians the only people in France I found to be rude were those who worked in the tourist areas like the Riviera. But honestly I can’t blame them tourists can be so annoying

But what about cobol and C++? /s

Thanks I knew spasiba but Pozhalusta I just learned.

You know don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just trying fucking it up is still heaps better then not even trying.

I’ve found that most people really appreciate even just the attempt at their own language. The fact that you’re trying goes a long way with most people.

Excepting Americans and sometimes the French. /s

I’m rusty in a bunch. My favourites are the Scandinavian languages just because how the people lit up whenever you tried. It was like “Bless your heart, you poor English speaker.” Like they were watching a puppy.

Ah yes the classic Aussie Thank you - Ta, ya cunt!

Oh I like the Romanian please. That sound fun to say.

But how do you do it in Rust?

Welsh is amazing I never knew them but I love how “Welshman” they sound.

Which is your favourite?

I’d recommend giving season 4 a go. It’s got a new show runner and Jodie Foster is amazingly good in it. And it’s creepy a fuck in a good tension building way. And it’s setting really notches up the whole thing.
