I think that's Breton.

I used to get calls at a sales job where they were convinced they were speaking to someone in an overseas call center and nothing I said would convince them otherwise.

You'd be surprised how active the Breton language community is on Facebook

I was in the Army with that guy years ago and he complained to our platoon sergeant when I was talking with another soldier in French (the guy was from Africa and it was one of his native languages) because he was certain we were talking about him. There's a set of people whose brains just short out when they hear people talk in any way different from them, in every country. I and a group of friends got followed for 10 minutes once by a drunk rear end in a top hat yelling "This is France, we speak French here" at us because were speaking Breton, in Brittany.

I was once watching a strange asian horror movie with english subtitles and like 10 minutes in I realized that they were mostly speaking english, lol. Since the subtitled the parts that were in english I assume other countries understanding their accent was a pretty common problem.

If you spend most of your life in a place where everyone has the same accent you don't develop the mental flexibility to understand unfamiliar accents. It's like the early speech recognition systems where you had to slowly and carefully enunciate every word so the computer would understand what you wanted to say.

You can stretch that muscle a bit by watching films from english speaking countries with different accents and dialects. It really doesn't take long for your brain to dial in and figure out most of what is being said.

Banana Moon Pies are the only way to go.

It's like eating an expired species, you can't get those specific banana flavorings from a real banana anymore!

Edit: Google says this banana still exists (also the flavor thing is a myth), I need to find me some. Never actually had any bananas besides Cavendish and plantains which don't count.

As a call center worker I can confirm the worst accent ever is rural southerner because it involves mumbling everything and putting random Rs in words.

"Hello, how can I help you today?"

"Eo Ar a ea ooo ar araer"

"I'm sorry, you were breaking up?"

"IRE WARRNA SPEARK TROO AR MARNARGAR!"

Hideous.

Food flavoring is based on the safest, easy to make chemical that tastes kind of like the thing. It’s very much a ‘good enough’ industry, especially the ones chosen a long time ago.

Yes, this comic is sexist against men because it's saying men can't cope with women in the workplace and men's idea of dealing with it is to exclude women altogether. Note it doesn't say "some men's concept" it says "THE male concept".


quote:

I’m sure a lot of men will see it like this - “I can lose my job and be publicly shamed over Allegations? Not worth the risk.”

Allegations of sexual misconduct is a slippery slope to women never being hired in the work place. We have to rein in these women for the good of all women.
