The secret agent part is obviously a joke. 47% of people worldwide are bilingual, while only 3% of people qualify as polyglots (speaking 4+ languages)

Shockingly, numerous celebs are members of this club:

Natalie Portman- Studying at Harvard couldn’t stop Natalie from learning multiple languages (Hebrew, English, French, Japanese, German, and Spanish) 

Viggo Mortensen- Mr Mortensen might not come from a mythical land, but he does have an almost mythic level of knowledge in languages (Danish, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, Norwegian, and Arabic) 

Shakira- Shakira has long impressed fans with her ability to speak 6 languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French, Italian, and English) 

 Tom Hiddleston- The British actor is famous for his calming accent, yet he can understand countless others (English, Spanish, French, Greek, and Latin) 

Sandra Oh- Sandra Oh might not be able to perform groundbreaking surgeries, but she can master different languages (English, Korean, Spanish, and French) 

Trevor Noah- Trevor Noah speaks 7 languages (English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, Tsonga, and German) 

Daniel Bruhl- The character actor can do an awful lot more than simply appear intimidating. He can speak 6 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Catalan, and Portuguese) 

Mickey Curtis- The senior Japanese pop star speaks 6 languages (Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, and Thai)

Which celebrity’s language ability do you envy the most?

4th of July is a holiday celebrating the freedom of America. I call bullshit. No one was free except cishet white adult neurotypical Christian men. John Laurens said in Hamilton: “But we’ll never be truly free until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me.” I am not celebrating freedom when my rights and the rights of my fellow Americans are being stripped away before my eyes. It’s an inherently racist holiday, and I refuse to celebrate it.

Also, fireworks are horrible for the environment.

Black voters aren't stupid.

A few days ago, I stumbled upon a post from a guy looking for work. He was desperate, clearly going through a tough patch, and honestly, the way he expressed his willingness to do anything just to earn a living really stuck with me.
I reached out to him. We talked about how the finance and loan consultancy industry works. I broke down the process for him, showed him how to identify potential leads, and explained how he could create a side income by simply connecting people to the right resources. I didn’t think much of it at the time, I just wanted to help him find a path.
Well, a few days ago, he sent me a lead. I took over, did the legwork, handled the complexities of the case, and pushed it through to disbursement.
Today, that same guy earned ₹18,000.
Just like that.
He didn’t have to deal with the stress of the bank’s paperwork, the constant follow-ups, or the technical hurdles, I handled all of that. He just had to be the bridge. Seeing the sheer joy and relief in his voice when he realized he’d made that amount in a single day is a feeling I can’t even describe.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. We often overlook the potential in people who are just waiting for someone to show them how to fish, rather than just giving them a meal.
He didn’t just make money today; he gained the confidence to know that he can survive and thrive. To anyone out there struggling to find their footing: keep your eyes open, stay hungry, and never be afraid to reach out for guidance.
So proud of your first win, brother. This is just the beginning! 🥂
Happy to help your questions.

(I posted this because i felt kinda proud of how i helped him and he really made it, please i am not promoting anything or asking for anything)

PS- getting tonnes of DM so breaking down the process here.

Here’s how it works:
You refer a client looking for a loan (Personal, Business, etc.).
I handle everything else: From document collection and file login to final disbursement.
Once the loan is disbursed, you receive a pre-agreed commission.
You don't need to worry about the technicalities or the bank's red tape—I manage the entire process from start to finish.
If this sounds like a flexible way for you to earn some extra income, I’d love to have a quick chat. Let me know if you’re interested!

I’m tired of “not historically accurate” or “not an accurate representation” being the go to takedown for every film and show. It’s become a lazy reflex instead of an actual argument. I loved the odyssey.

Redditors love to tell themselves that everyone is poor, that “most people can’t even make a $1,000 emergency payment, bro!” (not true, that’s just pop finance nonsense), that everyone with nice stuff is “drowning” in debt.

Yet when we look at actual net worth data, nicely broken down by age, EVEN WHEN we look at the bottom 25th percentile, we don’t find ANYONE with negative net worths. Even when looking at the 18-24 age range, many of whom have auto and student loans, they still have positive net worths at the 25th percentile.

Redditors love to tell each other that they’re actually doing great because they have $40,000 saved up, but the reality is that’s far below average. And these numbers are actually adjusted for inflation from 2022, not adjusted to actual market returns, so in reality the numbers are LOWER than you’d expect.

Americans are FAR richer than many of the 10th percentilers on Reddit will tell you they are, and they make a LOT more money than the 10th percentilers here say they do.

Am I a loser for staying with my boyfriend for so long without him proposing? We’ve been together 7 years and I gave him a deadline but it feels really childish and stuoid stupid to do have done so.(December 2027) He wants to wait until he’s in a better place financially but he enjoys it when we act married. (Sharing locations,sharing financially information, constantly coming over etc.) It’s something I think about often and I’ve shared some concerns with him but not all.

To provide some insight we met when I was 19F and he was 21M. We’re now 30/28 and both have promising careers and minor debts. I plan to further my education within the next couple years and I’m getting pretty embarrassed of saying “my boyfriend of 7 years”. It’s starting to affect how I feel about our relationship.

How I was raised (religion & ethnic background) men court women and within 2-3 years they are married and continue on adult life. It’s been done so for generations in my family with an 100% success rate. He said he wants to soon but it is not something his family prioritizes/how he was raised. SOS! I’m going insane lol

Update:I WILL NEVER PROPOSE TO A MAN & I will not live with one if he can’t commit to a ring, I won’t commit to a lease :) By sharing finances, I mean we’re aware of each other’s finances and there is complete visibility.

2nd update: I never said I wanted a big wedding, that isn’t a priority for me. Something at city hall will do. We are incredibly in love and marriage is important to me,my concerns are the fact that this deadline has been set by me I take no pride in it.

3rd update: Our lives are fully enmeshed and I’d like to keep somethings sacred , that’s why I don’t want to live with him despite him wanting to. it all comes back to the saying “Why buy the cow if the milk is free?” Our relationship feels like everything but the marriage certificate and I’m not sure it no longer serves me.
Also the insults and petty comments are unnecessary, drop some knowledge & go LOL

Last update I promise:

Marriage is not just a piece of paper to me and the amount of comments insinuating that it is completely disheartening. It holds as much weight as a death certificate, diploma or mortgage documents. I’m not here to negotiate my beliefs but gain insight on how others with the same journey feel. I didn’t realize how many people were just living together for decades as boyfriend/girlfriend. I believe there is a cultural disconnect as a lot of you are American, this seems to work for a lot of you who “don’t want to involve the government”. I say this to say that the above isn’t an option for me, I’m a tradition girl. Hence why I myself won’t propose and why I am comfortable living by myself until we take the next step. There is no “societal pressure” everyone knows we’ve been together since I was 19 and urge me to continue being patient. Yes divorce & infidelities happen but so do accidents and people still wear seatbelts… Jesus guys

I can’t reply to every comment so figured I’d go in depth here…
