Hm. Is this for linguistic curiosity? It seems like by “different perspectives” you are seeking political commentary. But I could recommend plenty of sources for hearing people speak English as a second language. Hell, I just found this one today: https://www.youtube.com/@InaYu2024 Seems to be a Japanese oncology pharmacist living in Canada. (Very slight accent, hard to place.)

I’m so sick of sharing this relevant xkcd

Blizzard is such a disgusting company nowdays. They don’t even try to hide it.

There are a lot of great 4 player games out there.

No love for five…

I dont think she understands the Serenity Prayer then.

isn’t this more broadly a reference to the Serenity Prayer than any one person?

it just takes familiarity. In grad school we had a checklist on what to look for when reading. turned it from a slog to a scavenger hunt.

I can’t remember the exact list but it was something like: what’s the title, what’s the purpose, what’s the question, what’s the prior research, what’s the methodology, what’s the data, what’s the conclusion, and then finally what’s the abstract. or something, idk, I’ll try to find it but I don’t know you jefe

Echo chambers aren’t as prevalent or as problematic as you think. The biggest echo chamber is actually most likely your own neighborhood. The internet, even small communities, is where you’re most likely exposed to diverse viewpoints.

what’s your stance on getting tattoos in languages you don’t speak

I think what they’re getting at is that just because the ADA or whoever recognizes that the disorders exist doesn’t mean that everyone who believes they have it has it.

People treat diagnoses in irresponsible ways. You’re not all wrong here. I could say more but I’m sick as fuck so I’m just gonna stop here and dangle the potential of decent conversation

wow that’s amazing. so it’s connected to all other PCs in the house? did you have to buy a lot of new storage?

the song was about company towns where the laborers were paid in store credit instead of wages. you’d work, but never pay off debts, since it all went back to the companies who set the prices for everything you buy, and so they were able to keep you on a tight leash.

That’s how it feels like things are going now. a few companies own everything, pay our wages, and set our prices. we cannot get ahead.

the song is about debt bondage from last century lol look up Company Towns

bruh they just didn’t have napkins, the employees probably just didn’t give a shit

I mean things are getting shittier but you’re complaining about napkins?

This is the most perfect example of lemmygrad trying to find smart but making absolutely stupid conclusions. The Korean War was a genocide… and a “successful” one. okay… I got some good news for you

I encourage you to consider why war crimes and genocide are considered different things
