Rick Sanchez is a super-genius scientist who is capable of creating incredible scientific inventions. ⁠
⁠
However, his genius comes with a recklessness that puts his personality type into the anarchic sociopath category. ⁠
⁠
Having said that, he will fight to save the lives of those closest to him even if that means killing a few aliens here and there.⁠
⁠
He is guided by his own desires and can justify this because he is the self-proclaimed smartest Rick of all the Ricks in the multiverse!⁠

During Bridgerton's 1.8, Alice massage Will Mondrich’s hand. He is getting prepared for the big match and says "I cannot fight forever. Our circumstances are solely dependent on how well I can pander and grovel to the likes of... them"

But what does "to pander" mean?

Does our teaching team suggest this definition?

- To fulfil someone else's desire
- Ex: I had to pander to the customer because my boss said "the customer is always right".
