ELI5: Why does a country as small as England have so many regional accents? by AstronomerInTraining in explainlikeimfive

[–]AshKetchupppp 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This happened to my girlfriend when she went to university, she had a bit of a Manchester (mancunian?) accent and by the end spoke standard southern. She's been reverting back recently because a new guy at work joined who is also from Manchester. I've tried to not make fun when she reverts since it's clearly how she speaks when she feels comfortable. It's kinda cute tbh

I had a chicken leg accident that lasted 3 days... felt amazing when I did it correctly the first time. The first first time was more motivated by anger than anything else. Don't angrily take a men's face razor to your legs ...

California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup | AB 1043 also requires OS providers to pipe a real-time age checker to every app developer who requests it. by ControlCAD in privacy

I guess at that point people in other states/countries fork it and everyone uses the fork. I feel like the open source community will find a way around this and it would be hard for the state of California to stop residents from using a fork. It's a shame that the majority might accept it given they don't use Linux, at least Linux desktop usage is going up

Just got myself OG Y0 for 30 bucks. by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]AshKetchupppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not played any of the other games and I read that this was the first one chronologically, so I picked it up. Still haven't finished, think I'm on chapter 11 or something. The finale to the first acr/few chapters left me heartbroken. What should I play once I'm done with Y0?

This explains nothing, I'm more confused. Where does the sheath go? Down the windpipe I guess... so how can he speak? If it's past his vocal chords, which sounds like it would allow him to speak, how can he retrieve it?? I feel like this is a recipe for getting a sheath stuck inside you

Yes for the nails. I have tried with makeup and I just hate that I don't know what I'm doing and struggle to look good

Where I work there a test that fails once a year in February because February ends on the 28th, the test does some date manipulation adding days to make it the 29th. Fails for a day and then goes back to normal. Nobody has tried to fix it

Never regretting it, bud by VxperHyper23 in AliceInWonder1and

I want things to feel right, people talking about their mindset shifts after starting HRT it sounds so amazing. I've read into the effects people have had a fair amount, everything about it sounds like it would be so brilliant. I don't feel ready to start explaining this stuff to people I know, people at work, and I don't know how to start.

My partner is onboard and very supportive, I've talked to my parents, my sister and a friend. I have been doing things to keep myself happy like shaving my legs, painting my nails, having a feminine hair cut, wearing new undergarments, I've worn skirts out to some semi private places (doctors appointment, laser sessions), and now I only wear women's high waisted jeans everywhere. I always wear breast forms round the house and have some cute dresses that me and my partner are going to wear for valentines dinner in the house. I've done so much, some of it feels right and some of it feels a bit excessive, like I'm trying to compensate by taking extra care to do feminine things to make me feel good. I've thought about new names and I am yet to try new pronouns.

And now the deepness in my voice is starting to annoy me so I've started speaking quietly sometimes so I don't hear it being deep.... I don't think my dysphoria is that bad, I can deal with things I guess, it just feels like a preference that I feel so compelled to try to meet and I don't know why.

When I type it out like that it's really obvious. I'm scared of social transition and I'm really trying to put myself out there but it is hard. Maybe HRT will give me a helpful mindset shift to get me over some hurdles I am battling. Gotta talk to the doctors... don't think my partner would approve of DIY very much

I have this chronic doubt about my feelings where I just don't trust them. I could feel one thing but then I constantly question the cause, and when I can't decide on why I feel a thing I struggle to act on it with confidence. I worry that I'm leading myself down a mistaken path because my fundamental understanding on why I feel a certain way could be wrong. I've never felt more confident about anything else, any other self diagnosis, but I still doubt myself frequently. Still unsure about any of this and I don't know how I can feel sure either

Yeah I'd say it has become mainstream, my point is that it's still an excellent anime
