The jnteresting thing about politeness is how it varies between cultures and persons. Things really can very widely.
I personally can't imagine emailing someone only to ask "may I ask you a question" rather than asking the question itself, but I suppose that might be more polite with some folks?
In the case of this original message, I literally have no idea what half of it meant. English isn't my first language, but I think I've got it pretty down. This was a whole new (generational?) level. 😅
Since text messages can be answered any time, at any speed, I can't imagine why it would be rude to just ask or how time availability would be an issue. Do you find yourself similarly texting and asking if people can text (immediately)?
Just feels like phishing... with the weirdest phishing message I've ever read as bait.
I really enjoy both games and I finished BOTW, but something happened during TOTK. I was more than ready for the final fight, but I kept getting distracted by side quests in the game and in real life. It's been over a year maybe 2 years now (because time flies).
For christmas, my youngest asked me to please finish the game for him. So I pick it up and I started playing again. I was proximate to one of the last, maybe the last, fights with Master Kohga, so I gave it to go. It was the stupidest battle because I clearly forgot how to play. I eventually had to unload a stupid number of arrows to just beat him without getting too badly hurt. I'm a resource hog, so I was frustrated to waste so many resources on a fight that should have been so much easier for me.
I have totally forgotten every mechanism and there is no way I'm ready for the final fight. Heck, I've forgotten most of the lore now. 😭
So I played for a couple of hours which made him happy, but he still very very regularly begs me to finish the dang game.
Watched S2E4 of Paradise last night. S1 trailer here. Wiki here. Really surprised by the decision with one of the characters, this last episode. Super curious where it's heading.
I'm a huge Star Trek as well as lover of Birds. imagine my surprise to see a Klingon carrying binos and then saying, "I watch birds." My family started laughing because I wear a t-shirt often that simply says, "I like birds" and they were really really hoping that you would say that. Haha. Close enough!
I spent time trying to understand what makes Sudanese peanuts different compared to most of the peanut varieties I'm familiar with. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I know the difference yet, other than the legume being grown in Sudan.
If we're thinking of the same thing, then one thing I love about them is something that US Americans do the south... they boil raw peanuts with salt and spices. Oh my goodness, I could eat loads of that. I've made it very infrequently, but goodness do I love them especially when they have a kick.
Exactly my thought. Never heard the term "engagement bait", but it smells right. 🙂
