Netflix really needs to hire Korean people to do subtitles for Korean shows, Hispanic people to do subtitles for shows in Spanish and Black people to do subtitles for shows written mostly in AAVE. There are cultures attached to these languages that often get lost in translation.

Hey, just FYI, if you see one of your friends treating themselves to a lavish gift, or a concert, or a vacation, etc., it’s really rude to ask “How did you afford that?” Let them treat themselves. Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor. Mind your business.
