Oh no. Yannic saying "as long as you don't get to the edge 'cause then it'll yeet you out"....100% I bet Dapper uses that for a cheese if he finds out.
I agree with Yannic, Danish sounds like Dutch, although I speak Danish, not Dutch, it's a really weird language phonetically. It's Norwegian with a stroke, just like how Dutch is German with a stroke... Ik Verstaan versus Jeg Forstår both meaning I understand, sound incredibly similar, but yeah it's hilariously similar, and as someone who speaks one of the weirder Germanic dialects myself, must say that while my dialect sounds closer to English than most other Germanic dialects, it's not that weird seeing as Danish, Dutch, Frisian, English and my dialect Scanian, are pretty closely related. And while I can understand someone from Sylt speaking Sörling, it's hilarious how one can see how the words get more and more Dutch as you travel from the south of Sweden all the way to Holland. And less and less Scandinavian...
ocean rednecks is just about the best way to describe the kind of person with a salt life sticker. This coming from someone who has had salt life stickers on the last 3 vehicles lol
There are a few videos where there is fake English... Or rather it is nonsense which sounds English. The "show" that TwoFace was talking about was an Italian show where the composer liked the sounds of English in songs, and so he composed the song which means nothing. There's another video which I think offers were conflating which tries to demonstrate what English sounds like to a non-English speaker. That one is really interesting to me because it demonstrates a lot more skill of the actors involved to express the scene in a meaningful way but is also saying gibberish. There's a third video I've seen which tries to showcase the "incompatibilities" of a Dutch speaker communicating with someone who speaks Danish and vice versa. Yanick might relate to that video the most. The fourth one I can think of was an advertisement for teaching English to Dutch speakers (I might have the country of origin wrong), where a family gets into a car and the radio is playing back something with very profane English lyrics, but everyone in the car is just having a good time listening to "I wanna f*#$@ you in the a¢¿€," on a loop. Democratic Republic - the people vote for who represents them. It isn't a direct democracy, but it yields more power to the people than a Republic.
The carts are a lot bigger than I thought they would be based on the camera tour. I was thinking you scaled up the podium so those cross bars you called hexagons or something would be the same size as the outside of a pipe piece.
The US is a Constitutional Republic with Democratic elements. Democracy is rule by the people. Direct democracy, where the people themselves decide laws, is practiced on the local level in a number of places and is easier to implement in smaller communities. However, California, the most populous state in the union, has ballot measure system in which the people of the state can vote on laws that have received a certain number of signatures to get on the ballot. Pure Democracy is often an extremely bad idea, since it ultimately results in the 51% having unrestricted reign over the 49%. Minorities have no rights. A Republic uses Democracy to the extent that the people vote for regional representatives, who then go on to create and vote on laws. The people themselves do not decide the laws, and their votes are to elect people who they (hopefully) trust to run the country. This system is still very ripe for abuse. Representatives can promise they will do one thing and then once in office do something completely different. It easily turns into a system where both minorities and the majority of the population have no rights. This is where the US Constitution is meant to step in. In a Constitutional Republic, the powers and limitations of the government are spelled out. The representatives are told what they can and cannot do. The rights of the people are protected by the Bill of Rights, which outlines certain lines the government is not allowed to cross. It protects both the majority and minorities. The US implements all of these systems in an attempt to create checks and balances. The Republic, the Democracy, and the Constitution are meant to keep each other honest. At the risk of getting political, the US is in a pretty big mess right now in part because the country has split into camps that do not value all three elements. The Democrats care only for the Democracy, despising the Republic and the Constitution. The Republicans love the Republic and the Constitution, but neglect the Democracy. Another part of the problem is the idea that we need to be constantly making laws at all. Let's just have a common set of laws that the average person can understand and follow and leave it at that.
