Hello World! It's Finland calling - the happiest country on the planet Earth for 9 yrs in a row!
Well, so #happy are we, that when actor Jason Segel was filming here, in city of Tampere, and went into a supermarket, being friendly to people, a security guard came, and asked after his car keys, because in her opinion, #Segel was obiviously high or drunk.

Politeness is the art of choosing among your thoughts.
-- Madame de Stael -
Read this on a site about #manners :
Cashiers and waitstaff report surprise when customers say “thank you”.
A postal worker told me that when she hands parcels over to customers who open the door to receive them, about half do not say thanks.
How on earth did we let #courtesies die a death like this? Do those failing in this way have a clue that they are indeed failing?

Whom do you serve? This is the question of the Grail in the Fisher King.
This is part 12 of 13 dialogues with Claude about the parable of the Two Valleys.
In the mid-90's, I spent years reading the complete works of Carl Jung, studying Archetypal and Depth Psychology.

When I was a young girl, gentleman removed their hats when they entered a building. This is etiquette and good manners. Imagine my dismay this evening, at the theater, to have to ask this man, seated in front of me, "to remove his chapeau". So gauche! So ill-mannered! What has happened to us as a nation? #manners #etiquette

Context: Someone wrote a post about a reading of erotic poetry where they opined about how awkward and distasteful it would be for them to hear people the age of their parents read erotic poems.
I found this very upsetting and responded to that thread explaining why.
Hopefully they've removed that post. I can no longer see it. Though I guess it's possible they blocked me and that's why I can't see it. Either way, I'm removing the individual's name and instead just reposting my rant, which still needs saying.

Why does age matter here?? What does that change? I can see cringing at erotica at all, like some people object to PDA, but as you age you may realize there's far less difference than you think, and how outright inhumane it is (and I don't use that as hyperbole but as literal truth) to have older humans treated as something different than "regular" humans, made to live life separately and diminished in participatory privilege. If you think it differently offensive than race segregation, maybe think harder.
It is scary enough growing old without people treating you like the walking dead who need to stop participating in regular life and just sit by and watch available time pass, kept from doing anything by people who casually and without apology talk of it like "of course it must be thus".
It may seem like just words but such words form rock hard prisons in our society. Actual enforcement of such separation occurs exactly because people shamelessly call for it in this way. It would be in many cases more humane to offer people death with dignity than require they live on in such a world that sees and treats them this way.
It's hard to overstate how angry this makes me.

The first sign of corrupt morals is the banishing of truth.
[Le premier traict de la corruption des mœurs, c’est le bannissement de la verité]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

They really do look like that

@JamesK The scenario is the opposite. I did someone a kindness that would conventionally elicit a thank you. He merely looked at me. I assumed it was beneath him to speak to a female but then I witnessed him do the same to a male. I assume this coupled with people saying "of course" instead of "you're welcome" means this is what parents teach now -don't thank people and disregard other people's gratitude. #manners
-
Is it now considered weakness to demonstrate good manners? For instance, if I thank you, instead of feeling appreciated do people now assume I must be beneath them and they should have never stooped to doing me a kindness? I'm asking seriously. #manners

Virtue and Simplicity of Manners, are indispensably necessary in a Republic, among all orders and Degrees of Men. But there is So much Rascallity, so much Venality and Corruption, so much Avarice and Ambition, such a Rage for Profit and Commerce among all Ranks and Degrees of Men even in America, that I sometimes doubt whether there is public Virtue enough to support a Republic.

@blairloudly
We were blocked by a door in a garden centre.
I looked at it, and read its label, aloud.
"Automatic Door".
It opened*.Did you try that?
#robot #door #manners #reminders
* I said "thank you". I do. It isn't so much for the machines, as to remind people to be polite, otherwise we may learn a bad habit.

Plumber due for annual boiler checkup at 0930hr.
Calls at 0920 to say it'll be 1045.
Actually appears at 0954. Doesn't even say "hello" so much as "sorry I need to take this call" while I'm standing in front of him in the doorway.Bet he wants paid on time though?

When thou art in the Company of Ladies behave civilly, and shew good Breeding. They will easily pardon a Man’s Want of Sense, but rarely his Want of Manners.

A #Fediverse tech idea I've been considering for a while.
Hashtags can sometimes be annoying, right? Their primary application is finding posts related to a certain topic, including following one. Therefore, if I look for "horses", I want to find everything horse-related.
The following hashtags should therefore lead to the same set of posts:
- #horse
- #horses
- #equines
- #equine
- #horsetodon
Right? But that's not a reality. Some people tag with one of them, with multiple, or with none at all.
Similarly, #Döner, #Doener and perhaps even #Doner should lead to the same set of posts, right? And what about British-American-splits like how #Localization is #Localisation, and perhaps even #l10n as well? And #LGBT, #LGBTQ, #LBGTQ+, #LGBT+, #LGBTQIA and so on and so on also really should be one hashtag.
So what to do?
I propose:
We should introduce a second symbol for something like "fuzzy hashtags". Not the '#' symbol, but another; perhaps '&' or '~'.
That way I could tag my post '~horse', and it could appear on all hashtag feeds concerning the different spellings of horses! Or I could search for such a fuzzy hashtag.
The different variants could be crowdsourced, or overridden by instance mods. You could also opt-out of that system - your posts showing up in fuzzy searches, most likely.
This would also fix languages like German, where you have many inflected forms: #Männer #Mann #Mannes #Manns #Männern #Männers and so on should all lead to the same result.
Behold what I have to do to sign off on this post:

A quotation from Robert Heinlein
A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. […] This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength.
Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
Friday, ch. 23 [Boss] (1983)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/heinlein-robert-a/78…

A quotation from Judith Martin
There are plenty of people who say, “We don’t care about etiquette, but we can’t stand the way so-and-so behaves, and we don’t want him around!” Etiquette doesn’t have the great sanctions that the law has. But the main sanction we do have is in not dealing with these people and isolating them because their behavior is unbearable.

The #behavior of 2 #arrogant, self-assured US politicians treating the leader of #Ukraine in extremely #disrespectful, #brutal manner. The only country whose representatives using such brutal language is #Russia
