What is a song lyric that you misheard completely?

Yeah, the su/tú (you) form is easy and tricky to learn: su/vuestro(a)/su mercé are polite forms; tú/vos are informal forms. Our brains trick us with the easy/most used path to identify patterns and meanings.

Sukhasana (from Sanskrit) sounds like a mix of su (Spanish) Casana (from Italian/Trukish) =)

I think you heard from some novela the phrase: ¿(tú) me amas(te) también? Good to know that I'm not the one that fights with my brain mixing words in 4-5 languages.

Why is WhatsApp so ubiquitous everywhere BUT North America?

The average Joe uses apple and thus their per-installed apps, Joe has a wrong idea about privacy friendly or secure protocols that apps like signal or matrix have. In a near future, Joe will communicate his friends between different meta apps using the signal protocol and still will consider signal a bad choice just because its marketing is weak compared to meta in the app store. The funny thing is that I've back to use whatsapp because most of my fellow US citizens use meta instead of signal or matrix or the fediverse ¯(°_o)/¯

When was the first time you cried over an anime?

Grave of the Fireflies

OMG, back home I watched this movie with some friends, 3 of us were crying while others were complaining trying to figure out how to overcome a hypothetical situation if we were there... Life works in weird ways; we've seen kind of similar situations in past 20 years and some of us have been volunteering/advocating while others just complain but in the end, it's hard not to feel something with that.

Probably some others I’m forgetting.

I have to confess that I've cried more with anime than traditional movies.
