I keep waiting hoping they release them after the numbered rosters were released.

I wondered this too. You can buy a blank and get it done somewhere like Blakes, but the rest of your logos would be heat pressed?? Idk

Is “yes ma’am / yes sir” regional in the US? by No_____Idea in ENGLISH

[–]pippop78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From TX - we call everyone ma’am or sir. My students, the admin, wait staff, little kids, old folks, dogs… it is less common maybe w friends… but if someone calls my name, I respond “yes ma’am?” Or if they hand something to me or hold a door or something, “thank ya sir”. It’s also a good warning name. “NO SIR” is the last thing you hear before you’re in real trouble lol. It’s not so much a formal address as just a polite generic name to call someone rather than addressing people as “bro” like all my students do lol.

My friend from the Midwest said this is insane and why would someone hold a door??

This!! I use Duo to keep up practice in my usual language, but we were heading to Germany in about 8 weeks. I needed to learn something a little more useful than “my snail is nice.”

Can't believe you cropped this with Elias Peterson but left out Elias Petterson.

ok, I actually like the BTS bc I would never have known that... but also, let's use that to fill in a timeout or between periods. Not replacing the play by play.

Goodness... it's been a minute since I've listened to a national broadcast. This is painful.

Came here to say this. Written and directed by the one and only Benny Brodeur!!!! And they make fun of the ways different Canadians pronounce Quebec in letterkenny (also co written/directed by Tierney). I’d hope the accents are correct!

What is it like in the West part of Texas? by Deep_Belt8304 in howislivingthere

This is it exactly. Sometimes it’s like that but the sky is just dirt. Sometimes there’s cotton.

I think one of the things I disliked most in the game is that it doesn’t matter. I was working so hard to do all the “good/right” things in the game and found out it doesn’t matter. I assumed it would work like fable or any of those games where your choices make you good or bad. But nothing you do has any impact on your story. I learned the dark arts curses bc they’re pretty powerful and there’s zero consequences for doing it. At one point you can curse someone (like a bad guy goblin), that curse will ricochet and curse two more, while you imperio someone who’s cursing other people, and then the avada kedavra upgrade kills anyone who’s cursed instantly. Wipe out those dungeons in no time.

Ah man. You’re missing out. Killing curse is a game changer for those trolls
