Riyria, in In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either

I hate that people treat the US as if it doesn’t have a wide variety of accents. I can drive an hour in any direction and the people sound different than where I live. A lot of states have their own accents, and there are regional accents within them. I live in Illinois and people from No. IL and Central IL sound completely different from people in So. IL.

Accents get even more differentiated the further North or South you go. PNW sounds different than NE. Etc. The real difference is that a lot of the accents in the US aren’t based on indigenous languages spoken in that region (even though some are), they’re largely based on the group of Europeans that settled in the region.

Americans are very very good at code switching, which is why I think a lot of people think there are only one or two accents.

Steak, in Summers during my college years were awesome

Idk those nights when you’re partying for hours and the drugs are wearing off and noone seems to have anymore, and the drinks are empty, and the dealers have turned their phones off, then you hear the birds start chirping and the sky starts getting brighter and you look at yourself in the mirror and see a gaunt pale face and wish someone would just shoot you because you just spent all your money plus some you didn’t have, and did a bunch of regretful shit. Yeah I don’t reminisce about those mornings.

Neil, in I'm sure there's a compelling story to it, but it sure looks like Wisconsin is getting buillied.

Prunebutt, in Some positivity for your day!

The poverty rate stuff is pure bs. The world bank just lowered the stated official poverty line without actually improving living conditions.

This may sound weird but as a self professed hermit a part of me wants only my kids to know when I die. The idea of a room being filled with people because I’ve died just seems weird.

Guess he forgot to create a Facebook event for the funeral and invite everybody

provomeister, in Sega promotes unhealthy bodily standards

So many questions on a single image. Why the red marks? Why is the laptop so old it has a XP (maybe Vista?) certified sticker but shows a recent Sonic game collection? The world may never know. Godspeed little hedgehog, may you go fast and eat plenty of chili dogs.

Steampunk asks the question “what if goth, only in brown?”

nanoUFO, in Pour one out for the youtubers that chased the algorithm away from what you enjoy.

Or they made good edited youtube videos and then they starting chasing the streaming trend like Critikal and other youtubers I used to watch. Sorry I want to watch a single 10-30 min video once or twice a week and not hours of unscripted rambling. The only person I can watch do that is Nothernlion but even then I don’t watch most of his content anyway.

Franzia, in Pour one out for the youtubers that chased the algorithm away from what you enjoy.

I know this can be true, but a more predatory trend is Youtubers quitting because these vicious incentives are difficult to navigate compared to Twitch, Patreon, or a regular old career.

zories, in Mom and Dad said "Eh, I guess we'll take the stray"

Ruined relationship with stupid comments like this with my little brother. I thought we were both having a laugh rubbing each other, I’d take it all back in an instant.

some_guy, in What's this, Doc?

I’m reminded of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry got a doctor’s phone number and couldn’t read it.

Xanvial, in What's this, Doc?

This is like written IT shortcut like i18n or k8s. Just need to know first character, last character, and the length

DrChickenbeer, in It was Donkey Kong Country (SNES) for me

That secret entrance behind a waterfall in the original Legend of Zelda meant that I've been checking every waterfall in every game I've ever played since 1986.

Hawk,

It’s just so disappointing when there’s NO secret behind the waterfall
