💰 Grifter "Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

Accuracy is always preferable. If you don't have someone point out mistakes in a polite way, then you'll always make them when it actually means something and makes you look foolish tbf - like the below video of the jeet gentlesaar driving the wrong way into traffic over the Mississippi River and being dragged from his truck at gunpoint by officers. You know who spells shit wrong, can barely speak English and uses common idioms incorrectly? Jeets. Don't be a jeet.

 
A friend of mine was black and adopted by white parents. Spoke perfect fluent English.
We'd play cardgames and tabletop games together at a store in a mini-mall, occasionally a random black dude that probably had to job search cause of parole would come in giving resumes to every job in the mall cause that's what they do. And you'd watch him swap from perfect fluent English to hood rat shit to talk to the guy. I never got a straight answer out of why he felt the need to do it.
My dad sort of does this. He's intelligent and articulate, but when he meets people from our area, he sometimes inserts single words from the local dialect here and there.

I don't like the dialect all that much because it's mostly associated with working class and is heavily influenced by another language that has nothing to do with our native language. So it's a bit cringeworthy when he does this.

P.S. We're all white and not American 👍
 
You should feature a Kiwi movie on MATI, and it should be Once Were Warriors because its one of the greatest movies ever.

I like this movie because it features a stellar cast and the best actor in it is Julian Arahanga:

Julian plays the part of "Nig":

Thanks for supporting the penultimate Kiwi film and Nig's breakout role.

Here is a great video clip of Nig:

Nig.
 
fuck me i need to get right on that if i want to make it
If you're really pressed for time would you consider re-running some old designs?

Given how fast last year's run sold out and the fact we don't know how long you'll remain in Stripe's good graces it might be best to strike while the iron is hot.
 
I was unbanned by Stripe on the Kick and Gumroad integrations. Kick subs for sure work, I just checked. I think Gumroad should also work now.

Moving forward, Locals and Gumroad will both get the same updates. I am not partial to either. They both use Stripe. I don't know why I was even allowed on Locals.

I'll talk about it on Friday. No, I have no idea why any of this is happening. I assume that I am obnoxious enough + Trump and the Legislature's movements recently have been scary enough that they're starting to ease up off the gas. I'll give my more specific shitzo theories on Friday.

In case you forgot...

Will send out a mass email again once I'm certain it works.
The cosmic scales were tipped for a while,
The universe forgetting how to smile.
We hit the bottom, the very last straw,
Lived under Murphy's and Sod's own law.
But now, the script is getting flipped,
The social pendulum has just been hipped!
The tide is turning, things are looking bright,
We're finally winning, and it feels so right.

Update - he was a drunken jeet with a blood alcohol level of over .15 by the time they got the order for blood testing bc he refused to blow at the scene. He drove more than a hundred miles with a blood alcohol level at least twice the legal limit.

It's social pressure. Blacks will give other blacks shit for talking white.

This shit is also why black culture has a ton of weird nuance. Why do they use fake names? Why do they convert to Islam? Why do they talk like retards?

The answer is the same for each: They hate white people and they make fun of blacks who try to 'act white' for doing so. Christianity is the white man's religion, "real names" are often Christian names, and English is the white man's tongue. So they go by L'Jarius, Muhammad was 'African', and white people can't understand ebonics.

This is called register shifting and many people do it subconsciously. Its a know your audience thing.

I have family members who goo full country/Southern when around others who are too. Otherwise their accents are much more subtle.

We tend to notice it more with accents, but register shifting is done all the time. People will use different vocabulary, modes of speech, cadence, speed, gestures, etc... depending on context.

The way you speak will be different if youre teaching a class vs speaking with friends vs speaking at a church vs speaking with your in laws vs speaking with children.

The reason many people do it subconsciously or consciously is to facilitate communication in some way. Either to make the hearer more comfortable, to make the hearer like the speaker more, to help the hearer understand better and so on. Your friend probably did it for multiple reasons hence he couldn't give you a straight answer.

Speaking of Black, have you ever been to that Black ass flea market (Petapsco) near Baltimore?

It is very tough to know how harshly to judge this. In America disliking the working class and regional dialects is generally a mark of being a shitlib.

Is the other language white?
