    PSA: the middle vowel of, "Nevada", is pronounced like the first vowel of, "add", and not the first vowel of, "odd".

    Politicians just can't seem to get this one right.
  • I had to train myself to say it the right way, the other one is more natural tbh
  • I say "Nev-aw-duh"

    But that's just my British brain.

    The same brain who says "Arkansas" as "Ar-can-ses" instead of "Ar-can-saw".
  • Arkansas, as opposed to your Kansas

    Apparently Yooka-Laylee is bad. Sucks
  • Yeah, I was disappointed to hear that, even though I don't really have any nostalgia for the Banjo series myself.
  • same

    whenever I'm in the mood I guess I'll just stick to trying out Banjo like I planned to (I bought the Rare Replay collection on XB1) and then see if I think it'll be worth it once it's not $40

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Really? That sucks.

    At least it was less of a clusterfuck than Mighty No. 9 was.

    Oh I guess J. Geils died


  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Don Rickles died a few days ago and I just think of Naney's rant about the terror of insult comics every time it comes up
  • ooh did I do a good rant? link pls
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Though I feel it has aged a bit poorly with the whole dapper fascist thing becoming a thing
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    People think J. Geils Band was a one hit wonder, but they had at least three hits
  • TIL I used to be funny apparently?

    In my experience, past you is always a very good comedian, because he shares your sense of humor and has the element of surprise because you've forgotten what he said
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Speaking generally here
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    days of future passed
  • can confirm

    Hmm. It always made sense to me that it would share the, "ad" sound of, "Colorado", and growing up everyone pronounced it, "add".
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Everyone I've ever known has pronounced it like "odd".

    EVERYONE.

    I've heard Colorado pronounced both ways, too.

    Come to think of it, I don't know which is actually correct. @Anonus?
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Nevada is quite clearly pronounced Nuh-vaww-duh. :|
  • actually nevada is pronounced "kernel"
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    No, that's Kentucky.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

    actually nevada is pronounced "kernel"

    don't panic

    You just don't make as many jokes any more, which is sad, because you are still really funny.
  • ive been kinda scared off it because i felt like i fell into overly abraisive territory and it annoyed people
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    You... Kinda did come off as aggressive/needlessly abrasive at times, personally, which was a thing since the other times could be funny.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I think it's worth asking when making a joke whether it can be perceived as a personal jab without too much mental gymnastics. If not, just go for it.
  • yeah but im not good at that sort of evaluation, and id rather not annoy people

    Why does twitter say "Liberals" when they very specifically mean "establishment democrats + the media"
  • Reagan-era propaganda that we now all uncritically buy into for some reason

    because it's shorter?
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Because those dudes are the only ones cheerleading a Syrian war rn fam, not Joey Liberal who votes Clinton because he was scared of Trump

    As far as everyone I grew up with proounced things...

    The final vowel of, "Montana", is the same sound as the final vowel of, "Oregon", which is also the final vowel of, "Florida".

    The middle vowel of, "Montana" is the same as the vowel sound of, "Stan".

    The first vowel of, "Montana", and the last vowel of, "Utah" are the same.

    Of course, different accents are valid, and I know I pronounce, "for", and "fur", and, "fir", the same when a more educated person would probably pronounce, "for", like the number.

    Dark Souls hides a lot of the lore in item descriptions

    Nier: Automata hides it in fishing minigames

    I've probably been pronouncing lots of places wrong (or, at least, differently than the people who live in those in those places) without realizing.

    one of my journalism teachers said Toronto with two hard t sounds earlier today and I shuddered
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    ...how do you say Toronto?

    this is important
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    "Ken-tuck-ee."
  • Tuh-ron-o is used in both Total Drama and Scott Pilgrim so I tend to stick with that pronunciation

    seems like most Amurricans say it with two Ts tho
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I have been doing my favorite band a disservice all these years by pronouncing their home city's name incorrectly

    Same. They all just kinda melt into "fer".
