Not OP, but depending on how many languages they’ve learned, I’d guess it’s about practice. You need constant exposure or the language fades, and losing a language you’ve invested years into genuinely is a kind of loss. So yeah, ‘lesser evil’ tracks.

I enjoy long walks through nuance and strong opinions politely debated. I like people who argue to understand, not just to win. Bring your curiosity and I’ll bring mine.

Death by Snu Snu.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What philosophy or movie scene, had a lasting affect on you, changing or giving you a new perspective?
5·13 days agoCoCo fundamentally changed the way I think about death and the value of memory. I went into it knowing almost nothing about Día de los Muertos, so I wasn’t expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did.
The idea that someone can disappear forever only when they are no longer remembered hit me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. It was such a sad thought, but strangely comforting too. Sad because it means there is a kind of “second loss” that can come with time, but comforting because it suggests that the people we love are never truly gone as long as we carry them with us, speak their names, and keep their stories alive.
That idea stayed with me long after the movie ended. It made death feel less like a hard ending and more like a responsibility of love through memory.
Plus, the music is amazing.
I have a clear plastic shower curtain that my cat likes to crawl behind to watch me shower without getting wet.

I apologize. I assumed English as your primary language and understood the phrase is an idiom. The idiom “lesser of two evils” implies that neither option is good, but one is clearly better than the other. It doesn’t have to be “evil” literally.
