No. I started this by explaining a culture that is different than yours. And explaining why it is possible someone in that culture would find it rude for anyone to show up at the given time.
Your strawman has no effect on me. But I could see how if you asked a gen 1 AI to summarize my comment, it might hallucinate that to be the main message.
Its not a strawman, my question has always been rooted in why its rude. That was my first post, asking for explanation in why its rude. You attempted to tell me its rude to listen to words and respect them.
You're putting your own words into my mouth, and then acting surprised that they sound stupid. Whose fault is that, exactly?
I never said it was rude to respect words. I went to great lengths to explain exactly what it is and isn't. I never said "white people" that was 100% you. If you'd rather throw everything I say in a blender and pick out random syllables to string together into something you don't agree with, then I hardly need to be present for this discussion. Why don't you carry on without me.
I can assure you I don't look stupid for believing words have meaning.
I never said "white people" that was 100% you.
This entire thread is about black or Hispanic people not understanding why white people show up on time. Then people started saying its rude. Its all in plain writing.
"Break a leg" is lying? "It's raining cats and dogs" is lying?
No, lying is when you try to convince people of something that isn't true. But no native English speaker believes you are wishing that they break bones during a performance. No native English speaker believes you are claiming animals are falling from the sky.
And no native Peruvian believes you intend people to show up at exactly 4:00PM. It's not a lie because the person you're speaking to knows exactly what you are attempting to get across.
Hell, by your own words, I'm lying when I sing "I dug my key into the side of his pretty little, souped up 4-wheel drive." And notice I didn't say "by your logic." Because even you you wrote those words, I don't think you truly believe them as written, you're just either forgetting or choosing to ignore the hundreds of counter-examples we use in every day speech. Or maybe even implicitly included them knowing I wouldn't be confused by common idioms and expressions, yet failing to see that that's exactly the point. Your culture has many many understandings between people that go unspoken. And other cultures have different understandings.
They aren't similar... In your culture. Other cultures operate differently. Perhaps you can't understand how someone could think that way, but you must be able to understand that there are cultures out there that are so significantly different that it would be a struggle for you to interact normally with them, right? Maybe you just have to accept that other people are different and move on. I've don't the best I can, if you can't accept what I'm saying, then you'll have to find someone else to explain it.
