- Comment on Why are people like my grandpa so against seeing the whole world and learning a different language? 1 week ago:
The speak English to those that speak with an accent can come about because some people have a very hard time with accents. Especially as they get older. My mom has a very hard time understanding a someone from the Middle East who is speaking English. It’s not that she is racist it’s that’s she older and her ears are wearing out. My dad is the same way. My mom is more patient when dealing with people who have a strong accent. My dad… less so.
I worked with my dad and got him to understand that it’s not that they aren’t speaking English… it’s that they have a strong accent. I at least got him to stop saying “speak English “ . It’s a small step.
My point is: talk to your grandpa and see if he has a hard time understanding the accent.
The rest of it, ask why he doesn’t like travel. Is he afraid of crime or what is it. Maybe you can show him the truth

- Comment on Is it true that in the US we are a low context culture and In France, they are high context culture? The video I'm going to attach explains the differences. 1 month ago:
That contrast part where somebody says they’re going to town and they could grab one for you, and then supposedly you’re supposed to say no that’s OK.
I’ve literally never heard that. I’m over 50 years old. I’ve never heard of that statement. If somebody offered to do something nice for you and you can use the item. Why are you saying no? Say thank you. Tell them make sure you grab the receipts that way I can get you the money or give them the money in advance.
I’ve never heard of this concept of oh no that’s OK. Don’t put yourself out. Why are you doing that? What now you have to drive into town and spend your money when they were already in town? This makes no sense. Make sure you pay them and probably toss them a little extra cash for having made the trip and the effort.
Why would you say no? Again I’ve never heard of this concept.
What state do you live in?

I’ve never even heard of declining the first one.
I was raised if you offer something to someone and they say no. Then the answer is no. Don’t bug them.

- Comment on Is there no instution or person that Trump go after? Or we are all just screwed? 2 months ago:
Realistically only Congress or the Supreme Court can stop him and no they aren’t going to. Beyond that, as others have said it is just standing in the street and yelling. But that won’t stop him.

- Comment on I'm looking for the best free online storage site my files. That is heavily encrypted and respect people's privacy, what would you suggest? 2 months ago:
So you’re saying use the pixels as ones and zeros, so if I had just for example, a Microsoft Word document, I don’t use Microsoft Word but that’s beside the point, you’re thinking include the document into a video? I don’t know if that’s actually possible but damn, that would be kind of cool. Because I also have pictures and documents. But be cool if you could do that.

- Comment on How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user? 2 months ago:
That camera would be facing the wall. It’s about 6 inches from the back of the monitor to the wall. Also I do not want a camera built into my monitor. Just another thing to break. If I need a web cam I’ll go to my closet and get the camera and plug it into the pc usb port.
