It's only disrespectful if you're speaking Japanese. In English, it's impossible to avoid using their personal names if you want people to actually understand what you're saying. Similar to how referring to someone as “you” could be construed as offensive in Japan while in English, it's necessary to let people know who you are talking to.

How could saying "you" be considered offensive?

Maybe it works like Spanish. "Tú" and "usted" both mean "you" but the latter is a more respectful way to say it. Maybe it works the same in Japanese, or similar. Idk, I don't speak Japanese.

Kimi/anata, I believe, kimi being more familiar.

But absolutely nobody says “usted” except to very old people or by veery old people.

>Tfw my 4 years of Spanish learning was a lie
Is it just in Spain or all over Latin America?

In Spain, usted and ustedes are the most antiquated words still used by the RAE. In Lati America, it’s a bit more diverse. It’s falling out of common parlance, but it’s not completely gone yet, at least in Mexico. Central America uses it more, and I don’t know about South America proper.

In Japanese, “anata” (most common form of you) is rather blunt and informal. While that seems impractical, bear in mind that it's a lot easier to omit having to use the word than in English. There's other forms as well (kimi, omae, etc.) which you absolutely should not use in any context outside of someone you know really well. Kimi is something you'd call your close friends and not a stranger. The latter would be like if someone you've never even met came up to you and started acting like you knew each other.

Hey, the three years I spent trying to learn Japanese weren’t totally useless!

I see. How is it easier to omit than in English?

OK, which decade do you all hate the most?

I can guess that everybody here dislikes the 1970s, even though I don't look at the decade as extremely bad (The 30s were worse)

The decades which I despise the most was the 1940s, 1910s and the 1300s with the Bubonic Plague

The 1910s and 1940s were bad enough Internationally. For my own country, the first half of the 1920s were as bad as the 1910s. (We had a famine, half the country tried to secede, etc. etc.)

Obviously the 70s sucked. Their only redeeming factor is some good rock music.
I also generally dislike the 90s.

But that is more recent.

Obviously many other periods (30s, late 1850s early 1860s and most of the 1600s) were worse.
1600s had a cool aesthetic but actually living it not so much.

It does vary from place to place. 1600s were the height of Swedish power for example but sucked for most places.

Obviously many other periods (30s, late 1850s early 1860s and pretty much the entire 1600s) were worse.

The 1970s was a bad period for Americans, mainly due to the defeat in Saigon, economic recession and a withering trust towards Washington DC after the Watergate scandal. I dare to speculate that the disastrous 70s is the reason why the conservative movement managed to grow, with Reagan in 1980.

I usually consider the 1970s to be a cluster**** decade, since a lot of countries were on the verge of civil war, mainly Argentina, Turkey, Thailand and Italy. But I do love the jazz funk and rock music from the 70s. In fact some of the 70s aesthetics is nice.

I do not know why the 90s nowadays is glorified by our contemporary society. Today, childish millennials is circlejerking around the 1990s and 90s nostalgia is turning profitable. But that was the decade when optimism and growth was at the top

Coincidence? I think not

In many cultures saying "you" informally to someone you don't know is considered offensive, and in others (like Slavic) bad-mannered.

Bolsonaro isn't even a dictator.

I never said he was. I was refuting a separate bad faith argument by Torra.

Ah, good to know. The Hoppe gang is rather small.

[Galloism]

My thought is we desperately need a careful considered reasonable constitutional amendment to address the issue.

I'm positive Congress will get on that any day now.

I'm not certain even an amendment could fix the issue tolerably given how expansive the First Amendment is. If we severely limit the ability of PAC's to donate, that'll impact unions and non-profits as much as corporations and there's no real way to argue that it isn't a strong restriction of free speech. The people angriest about Citizens United don't understand that it would ax funding for their favorite candidates if the precedent were overturned.

I'm actually in favor of public funding of elections - no private funding allowed.

Guatemalans seem to employ usted a bit more than Mexican or Spaniards in my experience, but it's definitely declining in a lot of places. I probably overuse it a bit in more formal settings and it's gotten me some weird looks, but I've found that using the less formal tú can get me weird looks too, at least with Central Americans. Needless to say, my social anxiety truly awakens when I go full Latina.

I'm actually in favor of public funding of elections - no private funding allowed.

I get that perspective, but I'm not certain we can avoid the freeze peach issue without an amendment that really restricts and narrows the scope of the 1st Amendment.

I'm too small to take knives away from people, OEP. I rely on being adorable, insane, and gun-toting to protect myself. I also keep the mitzvot and daven and read Torah because G-d is cool and stuff.

Depending on where he is, that's not implausible. Unlikely, yes, but definitely possible.

If it actually happened (instead of, y'know, being a made-up story to act as a tough guy on the internet), then you can call me the President of the United States.

Honestly out of all the fake-sounding stories it's one of the most realistic I've read, ever.
The mayor didn't give him an award, no busses clapped, he just intimidated and took down a dude.

While I don't know what OEP was thinking when he posted that, it's not really an implausible story. People beat each other all the time.
