No

Loudermilk had an episode on this.

Hey come on, that’s not fair. There’s tons of pictures of Trump standing very close and showing affection to his daughter.

In my field of research, there seems to be a recent push for artifact evaluation. It’s a separate process which is also optional but you get to brag about the fact that you get badges if your experiment results were replicated.

There’s also some push back against this since it’s additional work, but I think it’s a step in the right direction.

I don’t think I ever claimed that. In fact, I don’t think anyone in this thread claimed that.

I can give you personal examples that contradict both your arguments. Also, I don’t know what Rae numbers are but the fact that Americans are moving to Europe is provided in this article : https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/02/travel/travel-news-us-families-relocate-europe/index.html

And 99% of Americans aren’t moving. But the few that are moving, are doing so because they don’t wanna be in that 1%

I don’t think moving to another country costs over $1,000,000 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/upshot/covid-bills-financial-long-haulers.html

Didn’t climb up the wall to pet them?

My roommate was cooking at the time, so yes.

I moved from India to America 5 years ago and I’ve picked up an American accent now. When I was in India, I frequently saw Indians correcting the pronunciation of other people when they tried speaking Indian languages.

So if that’s acceptable, why is it not okay for someone to try and correct their pronunciation of English? (Ofc there are multiple native English speaking countries, but you get my point)

Put it another way, I don’t speak hindi and I assume there might be accents in Hindi. So if I was taught Hindi by someone who had a particular accent, I would probably adopt the same accent. Does that mean that I’m faking this accent? Or is it just a matter of what we’re taught ?

You don’t really say why you don’t want your close ones to realize that you’re picking up an American accent. Maybe it’s just fear about being ridiculed?

If you’re looking for justification for changing your accent, there’s definitely arguments that can support you. But the important thing is for you to understand that you can do whatever makes you happy. And if your friends are any good, they’ll understand that.

That’s probably a bad idea if you’re not concerned about security updates?
