So, this is an odd one because I travel a lot and try to learn basic words in local languages, usually hello, please, thank you, sorry/excuse me, and numbers are my basic go to. For some reason, in a number of languages "please" isn't something you get by default. I've found this particularly in southeast Asia.

I can say please and thank you (and generally converse and read) in French and Spanish. In Spanish I find myself using "por favor" a lot. "You're welcome" takes different forms in Spanish depending where your are, and what's polite in one place can be confusing or even rude in another.

I can say hello, please, and thank you in German, Italian, and Greek. I mostly said hello and thank you in Greece and Italy, rarely please. I've never actually used German in situ, I just know it from pop culture I think.

I can say hello and thank you (and various other things) in Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Malay, Thai, Lao, Khmer, and Vietnamese. I might need to think hard for a minute or get a quick refresher so that I don't mix some of them up sometimes, especially when I'm moving from one country to the next... I don't think I ever learned please specifically in any of these, though I think it's kind of built into the other things you say in a lot of them (especially Thai).

So, please and thank you, 6 for sure. But if the goal is to talk about language basics for getting around as a visitor, I would say 13 :)

Won't somebody think of the poor haul video people?

You'll probably have to go boondocking. Any official provincial campground, recreation site or Hydro campground will be a no shooting area.

That said, when camping around Harrison lake I've heard my fair share of gunshots (and bear bangers) and I've seen signs of .22 shots and the occasional 9mm on signs. Lots of helmetless yahoos on ATVs up there too. It's been a while since I went up there now. It was a long FSR up the west side of Harrison to a Rec Site. The road washed out a while back and I think a landslide caused a mini tsunami that washed out half the campground, so I don't know if it's there anymore.

You can try the iOverlander app to find boondocking spots. You'll want to try to get way up an FSR and away from civvies. You'll probably scare the shit out of any couples or lone campers up there on their own, even if you don't think they should have anything to fear.

And please, please don't combine shooting with booze, and shoot into the mountain.

Sigh. This was already explained by someone else. It's called cynical sarcasm, (or bitter sarcasm, rhetorical provocation, hyperbole, provocative irony, etc.) It's meant to express outrage by drawing an extreme comparison, not agreement with it. The "just made" phrasing is part of that - they don't actually think history was undone and revised, and its a bit disingenuous or outright obtuse to interpret it that way.

Maybe you're misunderstanding DarkCloud's comment? DarkCloud is not saying Hitler was right. DarkCloud is saying the Israeli supreme court just ruled that Hitler was right, and that doing that is completely fucked up. Which I think you agree with.

Says it's an Android game but I don't see an APK.

And I'm guessing not actually built for Mac either, just Windows.

No worries, it's just a hill I'll die on :)

Unless the post itself is a commentary, posters should put their own opinions in the comments, not the title or description.

That way they can be up/downvoted and discussed separately.

Why isn't this one getting more attention?

If the US takes over, it becomes their invention. It's like our diamond shield. Like, whoever smelt it, dealt it.

Just remember that it was a Canadian who invented the Hawaiian pizza. So, sorry about that.

(for the record, I like Hawaiian pizza)
