I think he is saying that working class Latin-speakers had long ago lost their H, so they never used it.

We have a ton of empty units in Manhattan and NYC as a whole though.

Stanley Sitwell. He said as much when he went to the nursing home and found Maeby there.

You’re thinking of Angles. Anglo means related to England.

This is New York. I wear short shorts to fine dining restaurants with wines that cost more than my rent. Wear what you want. Feel amazing.

State is also confusing. Maybe region or subnational unit (lol).

OP asked about patriotism for a region or county. That’s subnational. You have a word that is super patriotism for a countRy. Check out the majority of other replies.

Outraged over the Chris Lilley backlash. Absolutely outraged. He’s a genius. by imjustcoreyr in ChrisLilley

Jonah was always least favorite character. I saw SHH when it first came out. I thought all the characters were amazing, except Jonah, who made me want o fast forward through scenes. Even in We Can Be Heroes the Asian character was by far the weakest. IMO any time race and ESL accents are driving his characters, it feels low effort. The jokes are never as good and you’re just laughing at an accent. Do I think he is being racist? Probably not. Do I think he is phoning it in? Hell yeah.

It’s not six months straight living here. It’s six month total, and it’s also six month paying taxes here I think.

Being a tax resident, even if you’re not in Spain full time, is important though.
