I feel like you’re talking about multiple things that are only loosely related, some of which could be called honour. It’s varied enough that I wouldn’t call it self-explanatory.

Certainly, I could see someone defining honour as, at some point, the respect of military peers. This still exists with honourable or dishonourable discharge, but reaching back in time one could imagine an honourable knight treating his peasants poorly (and certainly less well than how he treats other knights), to say nothing of women specifically.

Likewise, Japanese culture is said to be an “honour culture” but it could be said to be a particular form of Japanese Machismo that has evolved from the Japanese martial classes (an elite) to the modern proletarian salaryman.

But in common modern usage, I see enough “honourable klingon” memes that use honour as a sort of earnestness and respect amongst everyone.

Not saying any of interpretations are correct (or wholly wrong), just that there’s enough of them that are plausible that saying any of them is self-explanatory is a bit of a reach.

Erm, I’m a bit high

(they are, in fact, two separate people. He became a youth pastor. I also remember he stopped bullying me in year 3 when he found out I could draw dinosaurs pretty well)

I met my first primary school bully two decades later at the Estonian consulate, who coincidentally also has the name of a local politician.

Yes.

Do some dishes while waiting for the microwave or toaster in the morning

That’s what I say for machine oil on the edge of someone’s nose, yes

My “wiping nose because its dirty” is very different to my “pantomime wiping nose to indicate someone else’s is dirty”. Also, I will say something before for the latter case like “Hey, you have a little bit of…”

Could also be very hot in the car in some places

Tying shoe laces. One day I could just do it without looking. Before then I couldn’t do it at all, way behind the class by about a year, an embarrassment to my parents.

Job… applications and interviews? The combination of constant rejection, fawning, self aggrandisement, and constantly changing arbitrary standards for all stages just does not gel at all with my combination of rejection sensitivity, slightly different fawning, self deprecation, and bucking against arbitrary social standards etc. I’ve only gotten one job ever from cold calling since I started applying in 2004. Every other time I’ve known someone, and it’s usually a few years between jobs

Yeah, must have crossed wires and the more dominant kids spread it. I have crunchy joints

I remember when I was in primary school it was told that it wasn’t actually the amplified sound of your finger slapping against your palm and cavity formed by other fingers, but pockets of nitrogen in your knuckles. This made it harder for some kids to do it.

Perth hailstorm of 2011. Every car was pockmarked for about a decade after, and some lawn chairs fell over. In the grand scheme of things, not that big

For me, it was binging all of House and Stargate

Having no money and deciding that shouldn’t stand between me and media I wouldn’t pay for anyway. Also my local college’s DC++ network, where someone had about 20 TB back in 2006 (which was a bit of a culture shock after having been banned from watching most TV during childhood).

I would imagine that there would have to be a really good reason to happen, and the default is millions of different (albeit slightly) languages amongst an equal number of small communities. It takes empires and states to force a unified linguistic project, which is not necessarily pursued in all cases. If you’ve ever had a group of friends sort of develop their own cant, imagine how quickly it could change if it was 150 people who only contacted outside traders five times a year.

Language and politics is a huge part of linguistics (e.g. “a language is a dialect with an army and navy”). Certainly, since nationalism began there has been concerted efforts to unify languages around the powerful members of a nation (France explicitly does this with a legal structure, English has elitism in social structures). The borders of languages are forced categories of fuzzy culturally evolved systems. Who decides the line between German and Frisian?

The short answer is “Why would there be such a broad language?”. The default case is diversification, being able to talk to someone across the world might be convenient every now and again compared to being able to talk to your local community every day.

The North Korean um… Times, I guess. /s

Certainly, a portion of r/cth’s appeal was that it was openly left and didn’t follow liberal rules of politeness, respect, or decorum

Test

I try to, but badly. I feel like I’m on the verge of burning out atm.

I take periodic “nothing days” where I cancel everything and just kinda go with the flow of whatever seems appropriate. Sometimes its just video games, sometimes it turns into 3D printing or art stuff, sometimes I get black out drunk and do the dishes (I’m not a very exciting drunk).

I also treat my sleep apnoea, am trying to cut down on drinking (pretty successful, not cold turkey tho)… idk

I remember I downloaded the FFG Rogue Trader in 2008, and it was just Twilight with the troll face watermarked on each page. That was a long road trip.
