I watched WandaVision as it came out and I really enjoyed it. The ending was a bit weak but really the end was just standard ok Marvel movie stuff which was a bit of a letdown from the white hot first episodes. Don’t let that stop you from continuing into Agatha which was incredibly good. Much better than WandaVision in my opinion. Also you don’t really need to watch MoM just look up Wanda’s part of the story and you’ll be fine.

I knew they were trying to trick me with …

[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.

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

Ah yes the Texas thank you 😝

But what about cobol and C++? /s

Thanks I knew spasiba but Pozhalusta I just learned.

 

Ok, Lemmy, let's another play a game!

And I honestly think this one’s more important.

Post how many languages in which you can say Please and Thank You, including your native language. If you can, please provide which languages and how to phonetically say them so the rest of us can learn!

I spent a fair amount of bopping around Europe in the early Aughts and as a native English speaker, I found everyone appreciating my bad mangled attempts at politeness.
