Indeed

I know of that phenomenon from linguistic literature

Live by the woke, die by the woke.

Ya you might be right, could be just that they don’t use it

Cause they never needed to

But was created for translation purposes

When westerners arrived to Japan they had a hard time grasping how they interact without ever saying "no"

Yea I get that

For the brit that landed there it was unfathomable

He was there because his ship crashed btw

And he later became a samurai

🤔

Are you about to summarise the plot of “the last samurai”

<:thinkcide2:462282425486147585>

Oh wait I think I read books about this

As a kid

So how about that trump transcript <:smugon:512048583806025739>

He was an excellent ship builder, one of the best and most innovative in the West.
So when Emperor of Japan heard of his knowledge, he did everything to please this foreigner, including making him a samurai

did they release the transcript?

Yep

Moral of the story: stay in school, learn a trade, and excell at it

Excellent ship builder who’s ship crashed 😉

You'll be very valuable to someone

moral of the story; leave school, learn something useful

excel at it

Don’t leave school...

Where do they teach trades in public school?

true

dont' go

@PureEvilPie I never read "the last samurai", I know that from a historty book

No no

I was making a joke

hehe

It’s some American film

😉

Yeah I know, with tom cruise

Ya

It is embellished, compared to the real story

Which I find more interesting

isn't it always in the movies?

I wish they made that Marco Polo series more historical, rather than having Marco Polo save fucking Mongolia
