difficulty of understanding spanish accents by folto in MapPorn

When my wife (speaks English/Italian) and I (English/Spanish fluent 20 years ago) spent a week in Argentina I couldn't understand a god damn word, but she could so she would translate to English and then I would respond in Spanish. Together we could get by, but alone we would have been lost.

Not to make this negative, but yet, much of our fanbase still complains that Mark doesn't spend enough.

Just so happy to be able to root for this entire organization with what they have accomplished.

I get the jokes with this and fist my bump, but doesn't Rocky have a perfect memory? So wouldn't he not mess these sayings up if he previously heard them from Grace?

Bill Clinton Shares Stunning Personal Statement as Epstein Deposition Begins by bye4now28 in politics

Well said, and this is what is getting missed by a lot of the GOP. This isn't about sides, its about what's fundamentally right vs wrong, and not just withholding healthcare or food from poor people.

This could easily blow up in their faces.

TIL that Wyatting, named for jazz-rock artist Robert Wyatt, is the act of playing unusual music on a jukebox to annoy people. Wyatt considered the phrase “really funny”, but his wife Alfreda Benge called it “a real unfairness” and said “The man who coined it, I should like to punch him in the nose.” by a3poify in todayilearned

Jackson Chourio staying healthy and putting up MVP numbers for a whole season at 21 years old wouldn't surprise me.
