Also speak that american accent with most strangers since they have usually learnt american english and will probably understand me better.
I love it when I meet Asians who learned English from the English. Same goes for black people from England. The accents are so unexpected that they sound really appealing and cool.
A lot of people bled and died to give us the 9 to 5.
They don’t need anyone to buy products if they already have all of the resources, and an army of drone soldiers and slaves. For an example, watch Elysium. It’ll be like that, but without the opportunity to revolt.
There are two distinctly different topics in your question. The first, yeah, there’s some legitimate arguments to be made that core identify traits of beloved characters shouldn’t be changed. Notice I said “arguments” because that statement will certainly start one from people on the far ends of both spectrums. The second is people complaining about original characters being black. That’s probably just racism. Plain and simple. No need to dig deeper.
He’s definitely a sellout. That’s all he’s done for a couple of decades now is put his name on cheap shit for money.
Snoop hasn’t been cool in 20 years. All he does is put his face on products for money now. Why would I want anything from a shameless self promoter who hasn’t actually produced anything of value in decades? Is he an OG? Yeah, for sure, but he’s also a total sellout.
My mom bought us an encyclopedia set, and I read it cover to cover. A lot of people didn’t have those though.
In the 80’s you believed anything anyone told you because there was no convenient way to look it up. Oh, you want to verify it? Better take the bus across town to the library, spend 30 minutes finding 4 dinosaur books, and then 3 hours pouring through them to see if they mention when they went extinct.
Then why do they call it a code?
HELL YEAH, BROTHER!
The immunity from criminal prosecution has to do with official acts, not personal acts
Trying to overthrow a court and Congress sanctioned vote of the people to retain power is most certainly a personal act.
I’ve had homemade distilled rice wine before that had tobacco leaves, a starfish, and a lizard in the bottle. It was actually really good.
These lived on 1800 acres of wild land. They normally only saw people when we were driving past to get to the ranch house, or when me and my buddy were hiking. Twice a year they were rounded up, branded, counted, and either sold off or let go.
They were rounded up old Western style, by cowboys on horseback, and driven into the pens by the ranch house. It was actually an amazing experience getting to be a part of that as a teenager and young man.
My friend and I would go exploring all over those hills in the summer time, and that’s when the murder cows caught us in the open a few times. Most of the cows didn’t care, but there were a few that we knew by site to run from if we happened upon them. So we’d skedaddle over near a tree or back to the truck if it was close and hope the cow would just wander off and do cow things. It usually just gave us angry looks and bluffs, but a few times it charged us and drove us up the tree. One time we were tree’ed, and were able to scare it off by firing our guns into the air. Good times.
Oh yes. Cow body language is very different when they’re curious and when they intend to cause you harm. These ones wanted us wiped from the face of the earth, or at least wiped from their line of sight.
Edit: I should point out that these were free range beef cattle in the foothills, so they’re a lot less friendly than your average dairy cow. They would only see people a few times per year, and they never liked what they got when people came around, so they likely had pretty negative associations with humans.
I grew up visiting my friend’s family’s cattle ranch all the time. The mean ones up there were cows, not bulls. There were a couple that you didn’t want to get caught in the open with. I was chased up a tree a few times. Some cows just want to see the world burn.
Not really, man. Cows are like people, some of them are just assholes. Cows kill hundreds of people every year. If you don’t know a cow’s temperament, don’t put yourself where it can kill you.
It’s like making fun of someone for liking sunshine
At the risk of completely derailing the conversation, I’ve met a lot of people in the PNW who don’t like warm weather or sunshine. When summer rolls around they start complaining about it being too sunny and want the grey skies back. Frickin weirdos!
I have a good friend who lives and works in West Hollywood. Whenever he comes to visit his accent sounds hella gay when he first shows up, and gets less and less gay as the visit progresses. We definitely adjust our speech based on whom we are surrounded by. I once hung out with a Londoner for a week, and near the end of the trip it was pointed out to me that I was speaking with an English accent when I got drunk. The funny thing is that my then-girlfriend told me to stop it, and I couldn’t. I couldn’t go back to my normal accent for some reason. Of course it went back to normal on its own when I sobered up the next day.
