I have a theory that the password crackdowns caused some people to cancel, but not for the reason you think. I posit that for some people, the only reason they subscribed is because they were sharing it with family and friends. Therefore, if they can’t share the subscription, what’s the point in subscribing?
I have been a Netflix subscriber since 2004 and just canceled it today. I had their Ultra plan for many years but I just can’t justify it anymore. Pirating is now more convenient and I don’t have to worry about not being able to watch it when I want to.
British should be eevee if anything. There are double the British accents compared to American ones. Cockney, London, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Ireland are extremely distinct let alone the hundreds of other distinct regional accents.
Tbf they only sound “extremely distinct” to British people. A lot of those accents are hard to distinguish for non-native speakers or people outside the UK.
Same for the us, though. NY, Boston, Midwestern, New England, Minnesota, Atlantic, Southern, Texan, Pacific Nw, Californian. And various specific regional like queens, Brooklyn, Philly. It goes on and on. The US is not the monolith it’s often described as.
Now comes the hard part of defining all the Eeveelutions.
I feel like there are a few very distinct regional accents, but I’m having trouble coming up with the right distinction from the top of my head.
There’s New England, the south in general, New York, Chicago which immediately trigger my brain to think of a very specific accent. Surely there is more to it though?
Tell that to someone from Bawston lol, the US has way more than 2 accents for sure. UK does have a lot though, not sure who actually has more. Let’s find a linguist!
A Boston accent is different from a New York accent, is different from a Missouri accent, is different from a Mississippi accent, is different from a Florida accent, is different from a Texas accent, is different from an Oklahoma accent, etc. Even within states, it fully depends on how rural you live, whether you went to college… hell, even your tax bracket in some cases.
I say this as an Australian that grew up in America: the sheer size of the place is enough to have something like fifty regional accents per state. Like everything with the US: it’s fucking insane.
Lmao to me Britain has two accents, Scottish and English. The rest sound the same. Y’all think your accents are so special to the point where it gets cringe sometimes.
Maybe for the regions that only speak one language. East Texas alone mixes English, Spanish, French and German dialects. It’s like a sitcom of bad accents down there.
They’re talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.
English is one of the official languages in India.
Even if only 1/10 of Indians grew up speaking it alongside Hindi or one of the other official languages (it’s a pretty big and varied country), it still adds up to 140 million people, so the previous poster has a valid point.
The number of times it’s handed me a copyright strike for recording tunes that are >400 yrs old is simply tiring. Used to be infuriating, but now I’m just tired lol
So the composition and the performance are two separate things. Sure the music was written and composed a long time ago and if you were to play your own version that would be fine. But the recording you have is not that old and has it’s own copyright attached because they have transformed the public domain composition into their own performance.
The wild part for me, though, is when I basically played the basic Greensleeves on the lute from memory in a livestream, then slipped into playing Francis Cutting’s version (the best, IMO, the elegance of the compound meter is just badass) after the first playthrough, again by memory, I was copyright struck after the fact twice, with a strike for each, one after the other.
TBF the proper way of doing it would be to improv it into your own direction, which I did afterwards and didn’t get struck for, but it’s just crazy to me how much the recording industry tries to clamp down on anyone performing anything even vaguely sounding like a preexisting recording. I contested the strikes, largely standing on principle that I was doing the performing myself and that the music itself was ancient and they were dropped.
This. Too many times people want to turn the conversation to themselves, when a lot of the time it is better to actively listen and/or let the talker vent.
I’ve had some "oof"s hit harder for me than full conversations. Sometimes you just need to know the boys feel for you even if they’re not saying anything.
Okay, that’s a fantastic car. I can imagine the smell inside. I would honestly ride that everyday just to flex on my fancy car to nobody cuz I have no friends no money and no future
I saw one fly across a road once. It broke my brain until I recognized what it was. Initially I thought it was a leather satchel being blown by the wind like a plastic bag in an updraft. Not exactly a graceful display.
The intent is to provide workers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for paying different bills.
As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we’re looking at average per-worker dollar earn rates on a daily basis, and we’ll be making constant adjustments to ensure that workers have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via hard work.
