To be fair whenever I hear someone with an accent not mine who speaks English I always consider their accent illegitimate. Not in a xenophobic way, it's just that that's how I talk, and I hear myself talk far more than I hear other people talk, so it just sounds ever so slightly wrong when I hear someone with a British accent or a Spanish accent. Even people with slight Southern accents sound goofy to me. And I don't think that's odd, I just think it's natural and subconscious.

That's different, but he was like "I hate almost everyone with a non American accent". Like WTF?

What really pisses me off is when people are distrustful of science, then in turn go to pseudoscience to justify their misled beliefs. I know Paul is with me on this one.

Yeah. I took mine down. If I have a fire while sleeping I am ****ed.

Tired of smoke detectors going off while I cook and nothing is burning.
