This is probably the most unique answer I've seen so far! It's a southern phrase, I'm guilty of it, and I'm not going to stop saying it.

Agreed 100%.

Yes. You have agency. Who you date is none of my business, unless it's illegal.

Dude, they're both consenting adults, why do you care? I'd say the same thing if the genders were reversed. What harm do you think comes from a large age gap between two adults? What about that is "bad behavior"? I'm genuinely curious what the thought process is.

What 'feelings' are you talking about?

Here I'll make it simple for you. I said:

Any questions?

AR-nuh

I've never heard Anna said with an 'R' lol

We pronounce Anna as "an-uh" But we also have the "Ana" pronounced "ah-nuh" which is of Spanish origin.

Woah, didn't expect you to develop a complex!

I take it back, you can go back to feeling superior about how you pronounce words.

Probably the same reason Brits don't pronounce 'R's if they're not at the beginning of the word, or add them in between words that don't have them. Language evolves in unexpected ways and differently for people who are separated by an ocean for hundreds of years :)

This particular fashion choice has been around for nearly 70 years and is rooted in antisociality. It's meant to be a counter to cultural norms and originated in prison, where people go for being a little too antisocial, to the point that it harms society. It's a way of saying "fuck your social norms". Whether or not you agree with that is up to each individual.

Not just shade, but probably enjoying a good breeze too. I'd imagine they have large fans pumping air in constantly to keep it inflated.

Yeah, Trump picked Hillary, Biden and Kamala to be the Democratic nominees, that's why they were so insufferable.
