If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?

  • Guy I worked with when younger, at a restaurant, primarily a Spanish speaker. He kept telling me that another one of our co-workers "won the race"... I had no idea what he was talking about. "He win the race, he win it!"

    What race? Eventually he expands to say it was easier to say in Spanish, but basically if there was a race to be fat and ugly, this guy would win that hypothetical race.

    He was very pleased with himself.

    Makes sense that it's both apologetic trash giving cover for capitalism and an overall shit product from a basic journalism perspective.

  • From 2010 on especially, through gerrymandered redistricting, capturing state houses, voter suppression, education cuts and the evergreen tyranny of the electoral college, they've poisoned the ballot - that's no longer a viable tool. There's only one care option left that's covered on your insurance plan...

  • They should keep his body in a building central to the insurance HQs. For every single denied claim going forward, that insurance companies CEOs should have to eat a small piece of his decaying corpse to get the denial approved. Once the body is all gone, they need to replenish the CEO body stock if they want to continue denying claims...

    Hey dental insurance CEO, are you thinking twice this morning about signing off on that press release where you're going to start denying all of Grandma's dental claims if you you're software finds any evidence of her smiling on social media... Smiling being user-initiated routine wear and tear on teeth that shareholders demand no longer be covered by default.

    Think twice this morning, my Lord...

    You finally broke the world billionaires... Time to go get the cans of beans rotated out in your bunkers. Tell your Paulettes to fuel up the tactical SUV and stick the tear gas perimeter dispensers. You're about to get really fucking paranoid... Is this next horrible heartless decision your last... Yes, it probably is - does that change any in the decision you'll make?

    • Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?

    Jump

  • Because that serves the "beg the question" crowd looking to sap energy with insincere questions. I don't need to just agree with their premise. They stated "all these instances" so why not give them the chance to qualify that and then we discuss? Sheesh.

    Why don't you give them some credit that they may be sincere, as I'm trying to do?

    • Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?

  • OP, do you have any knowledge about the CIA in the United States having involvement in "every single instance" you speak of?

    Can you also please name those instances to better inform this conversation?
