On a recent NoAgenda episode, John and Adam said tik-tok is not any worse than other apps.

Memories are short:

I prefer letting the sentences stay, but also put the police who participated in prison for the same time as other pushers.

But she was flirting with me?????

Asked my son what he learned at school today. He said, “Gay men like Sony, lesbians favor Yamaha, and transgender people prefer Bose.”

Kneeling down I put my hand on his shoulder and replied, “Son, those are just stereo types.”

Two California sized (in population) Marxist states?

Thanks, but no thanks!

Kievan Rus and Varangian Guard in Constantinople.

@Dan_Ramos

He is probably the best Swede, after @inscius and Alfred Nobel.

@Sophistifunk @Dan_Ramos @inscius @batcatdad

I will have to find out what movies he plays in.

I know, I just needed an analogy that would be obvious to a German dude, to illustrate the wrongness of a fake word like bröder.

Man, this use of Scandinavian vowels is painful to my brain!

It is up there with listening to Kamala explain technology to us.

@yukiame @troubledturtle @bloojay @MountainJay @Tante_Neel @batcatdad @inscius

The problem is that it is being put in places where it makes absolutely no sense!

Like this: Gött im Himmel!

@ZeroSum06

That's Zero Sum thinking.

@inscius @GluedToTheScreen @justinerickson

Must be a cork!

@GluedToTheScreen

You finally figured out what's fueling us Scandinavians!

Zeb is one of the main characters in "How the West Was Won".

Centennial was another western TV series. Both American.

@justinerickson @inscius

There is the small country effect, where it becomes too costly to dub foreign movies into the local language, so they go the cheap way, with sub titles.

Some people claim that because of this, the Dutch and Scandinavians have better English.

But with respect to Swedes having no accent, I would claim that some people from North Dakota speak with a terrible Swedish accent.

@justinerickson @inscius

My experience was that I spent the summer of 1990 at Goethe Institute in Berlin for intensive German education, and there was one Swedish student there. Some Americans there remarked that this Swede was speaking English without an accent.

Two years later, a graduate student from North Dakota arrived at the department I was studying, and I thought he sounded just like a Swede.

@justinerickson @inscius

Albert and Herbert?

@inscius @justinerickson

Another series I remember from the late 70s is Centennial!
