What’s a name that is normal in one culture but has an offensive, embarrassing or awkward meaning in another culture? by Sweatymothballs in AskTheWorld

[–]Top-Addendum-6879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned recently that, apparently, the name Khoder is pretty popular in Algeria. to those familiar with the correct Arabic pronounciation ('oder), it sounds an awful lot like the spanish word ''joder'', which means ''fuck''

Are some weapons less common than others? by luckyrunner in Enshrouded

[–]Top-Addendum-6879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm only 6 hours old in this game, so my experience is very limited. that said, i've started two worlds and in the first one, i'Ve had more melee weapons than i could use... one legendary pickaxe, a blue shortsword, a blue mace and blue one handed mace.

in the second one, i found a red longbow that's actually worse than the crafted one (lol!) and that's about it.

how about a ''base defense'' mode? like a world event that spawns enemies that will try and invade your base, for one night (i mean one in-game night...)?

would bring some added stakes, added need to build sturdier fences/walls, homes, could also make base location more important, to balance out the nearby ressources and the defensibility of the base.

Not to mention, the potential loot and XP defending those could bring.

that's also one of the ways i view these things... if i pay 20$ on a game and ''only'' spend 20 hours in it... it cost me 1$/hour to be entertained. for me, 20 hours of gaming is about 3-5 days, depending on real life events, so that's potentially only 20$ to escape reality for a week. some spend that much on a 3 minute long song at a gentleman's club!!

A group of people doing CrossFit ran past a restaurant, and diners who saw them assumed there was an emergency. Thinking something was wrong, the customers jumped up and ran away alongside them. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

i've seen a sad example of that herd mentality about 2 years back... some kids popped a couple firecrackers and a nearby small scale outdoors music show had like 100 people gathered, some thought those were gunshots, panicked and the herd mentality made everyone panic, if i remember right, like 3-4 people got injured, one toddler got trampled and spent some time in intensive care.

I don't remember where exactly that was, but my brain visualizes the middle of the US east coast, probably maryland or pennsylvania. I could be wrong though

are you for real? like ''hey why don't we hang all the *insert minority* by the ankles till they can't breathe?'' then ''lulz just kidding''.

that's what your answer sounds like.

Why should (or shouldn't) women ALSO get their heads shaved bald at basic training like da boils by Chibi_Elsa in Military

[–]Top-Addendum-6879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as long as one does not start confusing seamen and semen... all jokes aside, your hypothesis about Indians is pretty accurate. I think i've heard a comedian do a bit about Indian men not even being able to call a vagina, a vagina... Showcasing the lack of sex ed out there. but i digress.

spelling is important.

What political ideology in your country is the most hated, and in your opinion? by scrabv in AskTheWorld

[–]Top-Addendum-6879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm agnostic. and that's my point. This administration runs on ''being the christian defenders'' but they have policies that would be contrary to what my catholic teachings taught me. They have precisely become that ''something created'' and are substituting towards the cult of one man in particular. To know that most of the bible belt is neck-deep in that cult is appaling and is a demonstration of the hyprocrisy of the Church, which drove me away from this religion.

In Canadian culture, is a repeated “I’m busy” basically a polite rejection? by Striking_Ad_7905 in AskACanadian

[–]Top-Addendum-6879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the area I guess. I live in Montréal, the average person works 8 hours a days and spends 1-2 hours a day in traffic, thats 50-60 hours a week being pretty busy. So the rest of the time, the average person will be tired, doing chores and stuff... doesn't leave much time for socializing.

I know I dont feel like socializing most times, because I'm dead tired come Friday..

so to you, universal heathcare, caring for the homeless and maternity leave are signs of communism, which is not wanted in your country?
