I never noticed how sexism is so ingrained in the people of my country until I married a foreigner that doesn't speak the language.

Obviously every interaction needs to go through me so I can translate to him, but people refuse to look at me when interacting, always talking to him first, even after they see he doesn't understand them.

This happens in places as simple as grocery stores, cashiers will always try to talk to him first. It's the same with almost every other service we encounter. It was a weird thing to find out as an adult.

You're not alone in this. I always stay away from watching videos or reading articles with click bait titles. Maybe we are just naturally contrary.

"I know what you're doing, I know you're trying to manipulate me, you know what? Just because of that, I'm going to do the opposite of what you want me to do now."

That's exactly what I thought. I know so many people that just want the newest release just because "status". Most of those people I know can't actually afford it, they just prioritise it over other things.

And most of them are tech illiterate and don't use 80% of the phone's abilities.

They will love this.

Yeah, from what I remember the real translation is actually a very legitimate complaint.

Edit: From Wikipedia:

"The tablet details that Ea-nāṣir travelled to Dilmun to buy copper and returned to sell it in Mesopotamia. On one particular occasion, he had agreed to sell copper ingots to Nanni. Nanni sent his servant with the money to complete the transaction. The copper was considered by Nanni to be sub-standard and was not accepted.

In response, Nanni produced the cuneiform letter for delivery to Ea-nāṣir. Inscribed on it is a complaint to Ea-nāṣir about a copper delivery of the incorrect grade and issues with another delivery; Nanni also complained that his servant (who handled the transaction) had been treated rudely. He stated that, at the time of writing, he had not accepted the copper, but had paid for it."

Well I can see why it puzzles you, since you don't like it, but think of hamburgers, can't you say the same of mincing meat?

It's just a different way of cooking and adding other flavors and texture.

Every party I go to everyone gathers in the kitchen. Sometimes it's the smallest room and people still all gather there to talk.

It might be a cultural thing or it might just be everyone I know is always hungry, I dunno.
