  I’m gonna play Super Mario Sunshine one of these days, I swear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am told that in the movie Dances with Wolves, all the language consultants were women, and as a result all the characters speak with a noticable “women’s accent” that is very noticablevto older Lakota viewers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Same way where I grew up in South Dakota, except each school only taught one language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US we have signs that say No Shirt No Shoes No service. When did this become a norm? Also if I am wearing a shirt and shoes but no pants can I still enter?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To quote Wally Pleasant:

  🎵
  I walked into a store has a sign said “No shirt no shoes no service”
  I was wearing a shirt and shoes, but still I was nervous
  Everyone got silent when I walked into the room
  They were all staring at my fruit… of the loom
  Pants! Who the hell needs 'em?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistcly how much can be cleaned out of a house, as a child of a hourder?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Request additional trash bins from your municipality. Save one for regular refuse, use all the rest each week to fill with things you’re getting rid of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Westerners, what's your impression on the Chinese Diaspora? And what does the people around your area of residence think of the Chinese Diaspora?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really have a lot of experience with it.

  When I was in college I knew a lot of students who came from China and weren’t planning to return after graduation, and I knew a lot of students who were children of professionals who had done the same a generation ago.

  But since leaving college I have not really interacted with first or second generation Chinese immigrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it was your generation we fought for, Gen-z, I have idea why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  delete this, nephew

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Optimi sunt.

  Jokes aside, they’re just people like the rest of us, by and large. Except for the Quebecoise…

  Okay jokes aside for real this time, Latin America is too big and diverse to lump together. There’s a few commonalities, like:

  • soccer / futbol
  • jus soli citizenship
  • good food

  …but two out of three of those you’ll also find in Anglo-America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I look like shit some days?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s either you or the day itself. If it’s the day, just wait it out. If it’s you, it’s either your self-perception that’s off, in which case some affirmations or treating yourself to even a small glowup might help; or something has gone subtly wrong, most likely sleep deprivation or dehydration. So drink some water, take a nap, use the nice hair product as a treat, and tell yourself you’re a sexy badass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  even then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Add” beans to chili? It’s a bean dish! The main ingredient is beans!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The colors on a monitor are defined by what wavelength they emit. The colors of paints are defined by what wavelength they fail to absorb. When you mix colors on a monitor, you add more wavelengths that are emitted. When you mix paints, you add more wavelengths hat are absorbed, meaning fewer are reflected for you to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you misread my comment. I agree that we shouldn’t let the fascists speak. I’m arguing against the comment above that says blocking fascists is a slippery slope to blocking everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is only the case if you’re annoyed by people disagreeing with you. That’s what makes echo chambers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do gourd fries taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, kabocha squash seems more likely, it’s got a firmer flesh and a more traditional “gourd-like” appearance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, to be fair, we are talking about “special occasion” food specifically, not weeknight goulash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To image cache or not to image cache⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Related question: I want to start self-hosting. How easy is it to completely disable images?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I go put to eat because I can get a meal that’s almost as good as homemade with about four hours less preparation on my part. That’s why people go out to eat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more personal and shows live and care. Its special and tastes better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do gourd fries taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Salt, a little pepper, delicious. Next time I think I’ll sprinkle a little paprika or ras al hanout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do gourd fries taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  butternut squash

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do gourd fries taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because pumpkins are a kind of gourd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do gourd fries taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I made them, at my house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do gourd fries taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having had some this week, pretty much exactly like sweet potato fries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you think Rock is unremarkable today you’re listening to the wrong Rock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I NOT do in front of rich people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the ballinest moves I ever saw was the hired band at the high-end corporate executive event where I was the cocktail waitress playing “Sixteen Tons”. And not just playing it, singing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
