I mean, again, most if not all of them. Almost every language there’s slight variations in pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary and pacing between men and women that would otherwise qualify as a “different accent.” It’s more pronounced in some regions and dialects, but most of them have “male” and “female” variations.
Canadian, here. I think they’re great. Most seem like really nice people. Except the ones that astroturf for the CCP. Those can go back to China if they prefer it so much. Spare me the incessant propaganda. I’ve spent my whole life putting up with American lies, I don’t feel the need to replace them with Chinese ones.
But most of the ones I know are honest, good people, interesting perspectives, competent, if not particularly exceptional.
Why would Americans care? This happens every other week down there. Here, one is a national tragedy, there it’s just a Wednesday. This is the what happens when people soak their brains in the American social media BS too much.
Oh, they do. Depending on the context, there’s a whole host of ways to imply sarcasm without depending on intonation. Body language, context, double entendre, formality shifts, etc.
The question may not be inherently stupid, although it does contain a false premise. You really should follow the news before you start claiming the news channels aren’t reporting a story. It’s been front page news on literally every publication for 3 days now. I have to assume then that this question is actually rhetorical. If there’s a statement you’re looking to make you should probably just make it.
I know plenty of older Gen X who’ve turned into pearl clutching, curmudgeonly hypocrites and even a few younger folks who’ve developed early onset “get off my lawn” syndrome. While I’ll certainly grant that it seems to be far more common among older folks it’s a mindset we all can fall into if we’re not self aware enough.
Hell I know more than a few joyless Gen Z’s who already have fallen into the habit of being utterly scandalized whenever they see someone enjoying life a bit too much. Not all by a longshot yet, but a concerning amount for ones so young.
Unfortunately the old farts on social media were once the teens being treated like criminals for existing. It’s a cycle. Yesterday’s rebels become tomorrow’s pearl clutchers.
The only people abducting people and holding them for ransom in Chicago and Seattle are ICE agents.
Umm… in what country is it people get kidnapped and ransomed every day? I mean, I’m not saying it’s not a thing, it does happen, but it’s actually pretty rare in most of North America. I mean, it’s pretty common in Mexico, but in most of the continent the most common kidnapping is a biological relative abducting a child.
I know a few people who kind of went crazy with the creatine and definitely took it too far and hurt themselves with it, which is crazy because I’m not even into fitness stuff so you wouldn’t expect a filthy casual like me to see that. From what I understand figuring out the right dose is tricky because there’s a lot of different body types and metabolisms, and the label always overestimates how much you really can process. It’s a supplement meaning it’s basically unregulated so they can put whatever they want on there. I’d say it’s common enough that people overdoing it is common enough to be concerning.
Can it mess with your kidneys? Absolutely. Will it? Bruh, this is the internet, we have no way to know that, but if you’re going easy on it, then probably not. Just make sure you’re using your head and it should be fine.
