Yeah sure. Could you give me some examples? It's like I have a hunch about it, but can't quite lay my finger on it.


I mean the whole concept of "branding" is pretty much built on the idea that simply repeatedly associating a word with an emotion can manipulate perception and behavior. I think where people get confused is that while capitalism aligns a lot of intentions it's not necessarily coordinated, although sometimes it is.

Here is an example, though isn't radio, most of these local stations have a news radio component as well.

Forgive the ignorance, but don't some modern theories basically postulate that all realities exist and we merely perceive the one we're in?

So that it's not necessarily "preordained" so much as it simply always is?

Correct. This is the view espoused by the "Many Worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics. Do note that the interpretation has problems (mostly regarding the nature of probability and statistics in a universe where every possibility of an "experiment" exists) and that there are a number of other interpretations that are also plausible (but carry their own problems.) As such, there is no universally agreed upon interpretation of quantum mechanics and the merits of the various interpretations is a hotly debated topic in modern physics and philosophy. For those interested, the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a relatively introductory-level article on the interpretations of quantum mechanics, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a more mathematics heavy article, and the Wikipedia article gives short summaries for many of the different interpretations.

On the topic of public radio being mind control: no more than any other form of media you might partake of.

Would constant customers be a normal English expression or is that a combination you normally wouldn't use?

My boss wants an English expression for what normally translates to existing customers. Except it's supposed to double as a tag for people who haven't unsubscribed a newsletter, but still needs to be close enough to the original expression that everyone who looks at my table gets the connection. I considered persistent/persisting or registered customers, but afaik the former holds a negative connotation and every customer in our database is necessarily registered, so that seems like a dumb tag.
low gravity, yes-yes!

Regular customers is the phrase I would use.

Why is it that English actors can do such convincing American accents but the reverse never seems to happen? I'm watching The Wire right now and was surprised to google Dominic West and find out he's English.

I don't know exactly but something i've noticed is that English actors tend to focus on the regional aspects of american accents when they are convincing. There's plenty of examples of English actors doing bad 'generalized' american accents.

When Americans do English accents they tend to go for the Queen's english which is very, very rarely spoken in England, or the OTT cockney style English accent.
If an American wanted to sound English properly they would go for a nothern/geordie accent which are more difficult to replicate but sound less wooden when imitated.

Because people around the world are always consuming American movies, music, and TV. They are constantly exposed to American culture and can mimic it much easier when required. Some American actors nail the opposite sometimes, like Brad Pitt. His Irish accent in Snatch was good.

I thought I'd get an answer similar to yours, so let's restrict it a bit further: what is the best wiping technique, considering only toilet paper is present?

This right here. Europeans who speak English (me included) also tend to have more of an American accent than English, despite England being much closer.
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

Front to back

There was a guy on German TV a few years back who had a ridiculous and very disgusting technique, but I'm not gonna explain that here. Just know this: He just used 1 sheet.
