Whats the problem with Brits with adding an R to any word ending in A?

I think it's about accent and retroflex, local people in different regions speak with their own accents not standard English. University teachers in London universities teach with standard language that any international student can understand, like official printed publications, newspapers. There are a variety of accents in English speaking countries and each of them has a different pronunciation particular local culture. As someone who has been practicing English for years and watching and listening to a lot of English video clips, I still can't understand some accents, especially Irish and Scottish.

There is no 'British' way of saying many things, but this shows the differences. I can go 30 miles southwest into the Cotswolds and it is rhotic, but go 30 southeast and it isn't.

My neighbor’s daughters thought I looked like Beiber several years ago. But I’ve gotten Owen Wilson over a 100 times in my life when my hair was long. Better nose tho.

So I love art that makes me laugh. Ridiculous stuff that I have no other response I can give.

This weekend I got the musical equivalent. I'm a board advisor to the Sónar Lisboa festival, which happened last weekend. So Saturday I walked in on a performance called "Gabber Eleganza presents 'The Hakke Show'".

Sónar is heavy electronic/experimental music, so there's an Italian DJ set at center stage. But surrounding him was a wild array of athletic characters on platforms. They fist-pumped, fast-stepped, and kicked to furious 180bpm beats with thundering kick drums and distorted synths.

The whole spectacle gave off a ridiculous crystal-meth-infused rage of 8-bit Donkey Kong music mashed with a Jane Fonda cardio workout video. A Mad-Max-refugee hype man wearing only shorts, sweat, tattoos, and a mullet fist-pumped the audience into a fervor as he yelled into his mic, "I AM THE BAAAAD BOYYYY!!"

My brain could only guess I was witnessing performance art mockery of our addictive self-improvement, optimization, and performative fitness culture mixed with gamer narcissism at a rave. So I busted out laughing. It was beyond ridiculous.

Then I only later learned this was a revival of 1990s gabber culture - a mutant offshoot of Dutch electronic hardcore from Rotterdam with an underground subculture that blew up, got appropriated by the commercial mainstream (as always happens, used in Kit Kat commercials and crap like that), and retreated for years in the wilderness of Holland's Bible Belt. With people shaving their heads, wearing tracksuits and Nikes, and doing the same hakken dance of spastic kicking and finger-pointing.

Here's just two sample clips (pretty tame edits vs what I saw, btw) from Sónar Barcelona last year:




A total "WTF was THAT??"

Can any fellow Dutch juventini comment on this scene? Apparently it's been making a comeback in recent years.

Hardcore/Gabber scene is/was huge in Australia. Specifically in Sydney.

That's just code for ICE to know whom to throw in the gulag or not.

I'm curious... please do share. PM even.
Not that I expect to dive in. But I'm curious about where these subcultures are and where they are finding vitality.

Hitlers birthday on easter, he is risen

And it's both Orthodox Easter and pagan Easter this year (as my Greek homie would put it).

That’s why I'm scared of going to Chipotle. I haven't been there in years. You still in DFW?

I come and go like an ex at 2 am.

But you are defo right, you need to scure easy and immediate access to a good toilet, before going for chipotle. I usually don't go there but the Potbelly's next door ran out of tuna and had to get something quick.

How long on average does it take you to have to go take a dump after having chipotle

Depends on whether I've ordered the Salmonella Lifestyle Bowl or not.

Which gives me an idea... since they're already serving in bowls, why not...

Oh, never mind.

Never had the shits from there bro, oddly enough. Have you tried the honey chipotle spicy chicken? Pretty good. Only time once went crazy heavy on the red hot sauce, paid for it later but totally worth it.

15 to 30 mins.

Then again, I poop after almost every meal.
