It is incredible that in an area the size of my couch you guys have audibly distinct accents every arm length.
Mostly because of the different peoples that populated the island over the past 1000-2000 years. Then you have a lot of isolation between communities up to maybe 100-150 years ago. For example my accent sounds quite different from Birmingham's 25 miles away because the Forest of Arden was between us for hundreds of years. There are other natural borders that were used for a long time like rivers, hills and moors.

With the US or Australia there are defined regional accents now but I suppose it's a relatively newer thing as they developed from more rapid mass immigration.

Im the information age things will become more aligned. I was reading something the other day which said a lot of young people in Britain are now speaking this "multicultural south east" dialect as it's in a lot of music and other media, and I hear a lot of it around here too. Sounds like idiots putting on a voice to me, but that's how they speak.

    if you eat 10,000 calories a day, slowly, you will expand your borders until you occupy the entire couch
    I have a higher likelihood of being Michael Phelps as my couch is, as previously stated, the size of the British Isles.

    How did you guys use the Moors as natural borders? Keep them outside your hospitals?

    There is also a lot of Gaelic/Celt/Druid/Dane/Viking influence in a lot of places, too, which wouldn't have been so abundant in the SW or in the Central Counties.

    Have you played baldur enhanced edition on mobile? Or if you got any fun mobile rpg to recommend
    I mean, I work from home. I built a PC to get out of consoles. At this point, honestly, youtube dudes gonna shoot you straight before I am. I know Command and Conquer is mobile now, that's not an RPG, but the style and purpose of it suits mobile.

    And more accurately to your direct question, no. My video game analyst has indicated I would not care for such a game.

    Man, I have no idea if this job is for me and it's killing me. The scheduling is the most retarded thing, won't know what shift you work until about 1pm the day before, BUT you can retire with a pension after 23 years. I'm anxious as fuck right now that I'll make the wrong decision about whether to keep this or not.
    Night shifts lower your life expectancy they say here.

    I get you. My point is you should use this pressure that you can't generate on your own. Especially since it's not a do or die thing but more one of discomfort, but it would deliver the same results. It's not actually that bad to wake up hating your life and channel that energy to achieve greater things. Quitting or stagnating is much worse imho.
    For the record though, I definitely don't hate my life :p
    Probably decent for self defense too, can't imagine it would feel too good to get blasted in the chest by that.

    have you tried discussing the intersectionalism of fat, queer, femmes of color?
    I'm an active member of the LGBTPlusNetwork in my company.

    Easiest pussy as a Latino in the UK. They don't know I'm totalling calling them filthy putas and all sorts of misogynistic shit in my head when I'm smashing those sugar walls.

    What's the situation out there like for IT Experts such as Network Administrator, is it possible to work and Educate(University) at the same time?
