Pretty sure everyone not just Americans would be upset. German is objectively a gross language it sounds as unappealing as it's food tastes. Would much rather it be Italian, Japanese, French, Spanish, heck even Welsh and the language has no vowels or Hawaiian and that language has only vowels

Just as a follow up: granted it was still America and it’s not entirely possible to know how much German culture would’ve influenced America’s if only the language was adopted but can’t help but wonder.

“It is indeed more in accordance with reality to consider language as a part of culture. Culture is here being used, …, to refer to all aspects of human life insofar as they are determined or conditioned by membership in a society.”

“If language is transmitted as part of culture, it is no less true that culture as a whole is transmitted very largely through language, insofar as it is explicitly taught.”

Kind of amazing how many Americans don’t know we were a HEAVILY German speaking nation 100 years ago. There were areas it was the primary language spoken.

It was not a given which side we would join in world war 1.

How much discomfort/inconvenience am I supposed to endure for work travel?
I’m being asked to travel from CA to NY for a trade show. Flight options are either overnight or amount to 18+ hours of travel. Plus, I’m a bigger guy and sitting in an airline seat for 6 hours is miserable. I was hired without any pre-defined travel expectations/requirements.

I have a confession to make: I am so damn tired of protesting every few months. Black Lives Matter. They have always mattered. Stop Asian hate. Stop attacking Asian families, elderly Asians, and AAPI-owned businesses. And FFS, give women back the rights to their bodies and a safe means of abortion, under every circumstance. The fair and equal treatment of ALL people should not be this hard to fight for.

I have no idea what is wrong with me or how to fix it. In my lifetime, I have no real friends even though I meet so many people. I reach out and they dismiss me. I ask how they're doing and they don't reciprocate or ignore me. I really try to be a kind, fun friend.

My therapist thinks there's nothing wrong with me, but I just meet the wrong people.
But this sounds wrong, they all have close friends, nobody actively hates me, though clearly I am doing something wrong. I can't live like this.

At this weird point in my life now. First generation college student with parents who don't have HS degrees. Got through CC and then a top school. Somehow made it to Deloitte and making over 6 figures. Married the love of my life. Spent my whole life taking care of people. Things are good I'm at peace. But I can't help but think of what's next. What is my purpose? Feeling lost I guess..I don't know what I'm good at. I just know I want something more out of life.. late 20s is crazy
