@THeRetro21 @paleonormie Most Texans are very friendly to outsiders, especially those that don’t look down on them (as Europeans tend to do).

@paleonormie I want to visit the South, like Texas, but are people friendly to foreigners?
To be honest, as a Japanese person, I sometimes wonder if people might be a bit unwelcoming. I think I got that impression from movies.
English
I wonder how irritated a certain kind of person is to find that the Japanese are more fascinated and intrigued by red America than by blue America

@netzian74137618 @megantheevalium It’s exactly as bad as it sounds.
English
@megantheevalium 100% real, but a lot of details are fuzzy because I and others can’t really read Spanish if words have a meaning other than their etymological root.

i’m sorry but is this story even real or a psyop to further depress me

@capnfondue @fionaswhvre It isn’t though. While complaining about Americans not knowing how to pronounce Indian names, these person revealed that they don’t know how to pronounce “the.”
English
@fionaswhvre I think a lot of Americans aren’t even aware that a spelling of dh is supposed to be pronounced with more of a th sound
English
is it so hard to pronounce words like Ravi as r-uh-vi?? why do you guys stretch that extra a and pronounce it as raaavi?? or just any ethnic names 😭

@George_A_White @KYszczynski Timor-Leste makes sense. Because Timor comes from the Malay word for "East" so their neighbours calling it "Timor Timur" sounds dumb.

@The_AlephNull @OVTweetmarck The lighting in the movies follows the story. As the world gets darker, so does the lighting and color palette. Doing this ruins any chance of that working.
English
@OVTweetmarck The lighting was the worst part of every film after Chamber of Secrets.
Glad to see they decided not to even try and have decent lighting for the first two books this time and just have it look garbage from shot one.

@Robintschek_CIA Similarly, the English word for “English” (and related words) is one of the only places “eng” shows up in English.

It's kinda funny that the German word for "German" contains one of the rarest phonemes in the German language.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@heckyessica Radical pronunciation: et ketera instead of et setera.
English
For me:
It’s ET cetera not ECK cetera
Supposably rather than supposedly
“I had less crackers” instead of “I had fewer crackers”
“I’m so mad at her” instead of “I’m so angry with her.” Mad means crazy not angry.

@HowlingFord @jeff_of_norwich That’s still just regional. There’s no high class or low class Texas accent, there’s only a Texas accent. In England, there’s both high and low class London accents, Manchester accents, etc.
English
@anotheranon52 @jeff_of_norwich You say that like ours aren't class based either. The American South is literally known as the wildest variation of our English and it's also known as the poor part of the United States. Which played a major factor in them losing the civil war

There's no such thing as British English when you account for the fact that there's a different dialect every twenty miles
Yohei from Japan🇯🇵@learning_yohei
I’m Japanese and studying English. I’m learning about the differences between American English and British English. Is this accurate?🇺🇸🇬🇧😵💫
English
@HowlingFord @jeff_of_norwich American English variation is regional and racial, British English variation is regional, racial, and class-based.
English
@jeff_of_norwich The same goes for American English but at about the same rate of distance when scaled up

@sibune_lnz @avrilbradley23 Also, depending on what social circles they’re in, some white men are going to be disproportionately exposed to Asian women and thus mainly pursue Asian women.
English
@sibune_lnz @avrilbradley23 Some white guys genuinely prefer Asians but women’s preferences matter a lot more than men’s. I think a large part of it is better explained by Asian women preferring white men, either for looks or personality/culture or some mix.

@werewolf_wu_ @RealDianeYap Asians are almost entirely urban, and urban voters vote left. If anything, they vote more conservatively than their urban white counterparts, but it’s not enough. No idea why urban voters vote to make cities more dangerous though. Retards.
English
We really need to ask why we Asian consistently vote for such leftist policies. Is it something in our genes that make us support dysgenic and destructive policies? Why do we vote 90% left? Of course democracy itself is hugely problematic but that doesn’t absolve us of our actions.
English
If anything, we should be quicker to execute someone who kills because they’re insane. That makes them far more dangerous than someone who kills because they have a reason.
Insanity means every person they meet is a potential victim.

A Seattle man who shot and killed an eight-month pregnant Korean-American woman and nearly killed her husband when they were driving to work has been found not guilty by reason of insanity. Cordell Goosby m—rdered Elina Kwon and her unborn baby in June 2023 when they were stopped at a red light. Prosecutors did not charge him for killing the baby due to concerns about protecting abortion in the liberal state. After hearing testimony from defense medical experts that Goosby was "insane" at the time of the shootings, the prosecution agreed to have the case ended through the not guilty motion. Goosby will be committed to an institution and regularly evaluated to see if he is fit to be released to the public. ngocomment.com

@LiberationSon @TheComdeyFactor @RichardHanania Horrific. Lemme guess, girl’s parents didn’t like him, reported it to the police, and fucked over their own daughter for life as a result?
English
@TheComdeyFactor @RichardHanania I went to high school (in Tennessee) with a dude who was put on the registry because he and his girls sent each other nudes. Both minors. Both were charged and convicted of distributing child porn.
English
According to rightoid Twitter, this is a kid who was 19 and got arrested for having a 17 year-old girlfriend and having pornographic pictures of her.
Usually this crowd are all pedo hysterics, but this time they're anti-pedo hysteria.
But one thing that stays consistent is right-wingers don't actually read.
The charge is "aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor." In Tennessee, possession isn't enough. It requires distribution or intent to distribute (even assuming this is about the 17 year old girlfriend, which I can't confirm).
For all we know, this might be a revenge porn case.
Remember, rightoids have many different opinions, but the one thing that unites them is not reading or knowing things.
English
@TheComdeyFactor @RichardHanania You don’t see a lot of these cases prosecuted because it’s not really what the law is for, and the sender would often be charged worse than the receiver. ~No one wants to get a 17 year old girl on the sex offender registry for “production and distribution of CSAM.”
English
@TheComdeyFactor @RichardHanania CP laws still apply. Even in states where it’s 100% legal for a 17 year old and a 19 year old to have sex (almost every state), it’s still mega illegal for either of them to have or take such pictures of the 17 year old.
