Don’t ask me, I didn’t have Pandemic, Economic crash, NOR fascist takeover of the US on my 2020s bingo card.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it true that in the US we are a low context culture and In France, they are high context culture? The video I'm going to attach explains the differences.
2·4 days agoThe “three times” was an arbitrary number I made up. I don’t think there’s actually a defined number, but you ALWAYS decline the first offer.

1·4 days agoI’ll agree with this. There are Midwestern “politeness” rules that defy communication.
For example, if you’re visiting a Midwesterner, they will offer you something, but it’s rude to take them up on it unless they insist 3 times. The exception to the rule being “I’m grabbing a ___, you want one?”
This doesn’t really defy the video though, as the Midwest is more homogenous than the coastal US.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?
10·7 days agoFBI and USB aren’t words, ICE is.
POTUS isn’t actually a word, but it’s often pronounced that way.
The Depot of Transportation is often reduced to DOT.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone here think smartphones and tech like that kinda peaked in 2019 arnd that time?
60·7 days agoNot so much peaked, but plateaued.
They are getting more powerful, but the difference between an 8MP and 16MP camera was a lot more obvious than the last 5 years worth of changes.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else having a hard time sympathizing with Americans?
1·9 days agoI don’t doubt it at all, but I didn’t want to claim one way or the other.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else having a hard time sympathizing with Americans?
47·9 days agoSounds like you’ve listened to many conversations and just assumed that every American is an amalgamation of all of those conversations combined.
The US has spend 250 years fine tuning a system designed to keep the top people at the top. The system may not be working as it was originally intended, but it is working as it has been designed.
About 25% of all Americans Voted for Trump, slightly less voted for Harris, and the rest were ineligible to vote or just didn’t bother.
It’s not like we all supported this and are now shocked that it’s coming to fruition, many of us are currently screaming SEE! WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!! only to listen to people defending what’s going on because they’d rather justify murder than admit they’ve made a mistake.
For the most part, the people being attacked and killed are not the people who asked for this. They are the people who tried to stop it, and they are being targeted and hunted by a white supremacist regime.
Maybe the country as a whole doesn’t deserve any sympathy for letting itself get here, but even if we do, your sympathy, thoughts, and prayers, isn’t going to get us out of it any more than mine could prevent it.
My doctor just started me on Lexapro.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I walked outside and owls were hooting. Why do they hoot?
5·10 days agoThe owls.

In my town, the only new businesses are car washes, vape shops, and drive thru coffee franchises.
We had plenty of all three to begin with, but now there’s far more than anyone could ever need.
