Twitter's still around innit? Must be cruising on sheer inertia at this point.

    Reports of Twitter's demise were greatly exaggerated.

    Going back to the heavaily rolled Rs, the realization that the Japanese R sound is by default a kind of rolled R really finally helped that click in my head after all these years of, even hearing it, never knowing how to replicate it. Also helps you feel why R and L kind of flow into one a other with how it handles English words

    My favorites keep shifting over time. Used to be black, then yellow, then orange. But cyan is the current and clear winner for me.

    I've pretty much always stuck with green, but changing shades. I said in the last thread that Crayola had a dark blue-green called jungle green that I liked, but now I lean more toward dark greens. I think I'm just basic because my birthstone is Emerald and I stick with that

    Light blues and purples are also really nice

    I remember loving rolling R's when I was in Spanish class in HS and then System of a Down's "Sugar" hit the radio at the time, and while I loved the song in general, I was mesmerized by someone rolling a "B"

    it sounds like a variant of "lets get our shit straight"... but..... not a good variant

    this is a discord of mostly PA people interested in fighting games: https://discord.gg/DZWa97d5rz

    we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other

    I've been saying poop in a group for decades but have no knowledge of that metaphor's origin.

    I would guess it's a de-swearified version of get our shit together, like heck instead of hell, frick instead of fuck, etc.

    Yeah but even in Japanese there is the "tough guy" stereotypical accents (usually Hiroshima or Kansai) where they will trill/roll the Rs for emphasis

    Oh definitely

    oddly for me (or the most obvious thing in the world given my interests) is the one where it clicked was learning to properly say the name of Haruki from Ultraman Z; just a very very light roll on that R but it makes a world of difference from using an English R on it

    It slides

    What's super funny about that song is that there's nothing symbolic about it, it's about the time the singer and his friend Marty Jones went to a flamenco bar and wanted to talk to a woman but were too nervous to.

    Vermillion makes me think of sails for some reason.

    Aubergine has a good mouth feel, but all my other associations to it are negative.

    "In the beginning the election debates were spaced apart 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. In 4 days we could be seeing a debate every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within 7 days.”

    Ok I think I had gotten it in my head that Riley Hawk was she/her because I read Riley as a feminine name, I don't think he has ever gone by she/her pronouns though. I'm just dumb apparently lol.
