Of course not everyone is that way! Personally when I speak Spanish I sound nothing like when I speak English, and if anything my accent more closely follows the accent of whoever taught me the word, plus probably some of just my own inflection added in (but not in the accent of my English).

It makes sense to me that if you learned Spanish in Colombia that you could sound Argentinian based on your Colombian learning plus your own inflection. It would make sense for it to sound like a different South American accent.

My Spanish is kind of jumbled between Northern Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Venezuelan Spanish all being fairly diverse from each other, and thus getting very different lessons from different native speakers lol

Its just fascinating to me that some people dont and some do take on inflections that match how they speak their native language. I imagine it has something to do with how the information is stored in the brain. Perhaps those of us that tend to pick up accents and inflections better as adults still have some neural plasticity or strength in the areas that we use to develop a native language

I feel like whoever said that only considered that they were inside the prison, and not which side of the bars they were on

I work in a 5* hotel, but I dont feel like Im a pampered guest 1/3rd of my day

You dont mess with Big Mesothelioma and get away with it. You or your family may be entitled to reverse compensation

This is a really extreme example of something Ive noticed lately about accents transcending languages. Like people have a tendency to maintain certain aspects of accents even when speaking a different language than where the accent derived from.

For example, the new pope yesterday speaking Italian still had Chicagoan inflections when speaking Italian. I once dated a girl from South America who was ethnically entirely Italian, and she spoke Spanish but with a northern Italian accent. Her Mom did too but it far more noticeably.

Rural American people completely ignoring the pronunciation of Spanish words and having thick drawl is virtually the same thing, but stupider

E-3s be like “we are all trans on this blessed day”

Id love to hear someone from Kentucky take a crack at that one

Subramanian then asked Geragos if he knew that was not something that anyone should say “as an officer of the court and a member of the bar.”

Geragos responded: “I think when you’ve got a black man who’s being prosecuted and the client feels like he’s being targeted, it’s a — it’s an observation.”

The judge repeated his point, saying: “I think this is ridiculous. I think referring to the prosecution in this case as a six-pack of white women is outrageous.”

Honestly I think I have a bigger issue with the judge not accepting that as a valid criticism than I do with the lawyer actually saying “six-pack of white women”.

Its 2025, I dont think we need to be pretending that the courtroom is somehow above racial politics. It never has been and it probably never will be, especially the direction things are headed in now.

Im not trying to defend Diddy, and Im sure he likely did a lot of the bad shit hes accused of doing, but that being said: if our legal system has been predicated on race being a point of argument surrounding people’s behavior for the last several hundred years, I think we could give some leeway for a lawyer pointing out the racial politics of having 6 white female prosecutors outside the fucking courtroom
