actually, that won't be necessary.
I guess I do, when I break down how I use the words. Nudity requires an audience/observer, whereas nakedness doesn’t.

Just because one dude thinks English speakers as a whole make a distinction between nudity and nakedness doesn't mean they do. I mean, we all know they don't.

You're right, English speakers as a whole certainly don't, and I would even argue that that's not what the link is saying. It's saying that smarmy art fucks do give a gently caress, so I have to give this one to MariusLecter, in the original context of their post. Having said that, no one in their right mind should give a poo poo about what smarmy art fucks say, so I guess you're right.

The first time I saw a product name that contained "naked AF" I almost chuckled. (It's naked as opposed to coated.) Same with "screwed double nipples".

Other way around, I'd say. Like, "naked" is neutral, "nude" implies specific intent to be naked.

I grew up in Little Rock but both my parents have relatively neutral accents and so do I. People from other regions can hear some mild Southernity in my vowels (and of course I say y’all) but other Southerners ask me why I don’t have an accent.

I was born in the US but my parents immigrated so they have accents. I don't, in what I'm pretty sure was a conscious effort not to sound like them.

The Pakistani kid at my high school emigrated from there when he was real young and spoke English not just without an accent but even occasional southern affectations. It's really weird in retrospect but makes sense

Does that hold true when speaking specifically and exclusively to them as well?

People generally develop and use different registers depending on the social situation and interlocutor(s) involved. My parents are West Flemings who ended up in Brabant and made a conscious effort to raise their children in Standard Dutch, while still speaking in West-Flemish dialect to each other. I now speak with an unremarkable Brabantian accent in daily life, but when talking to my parents or my sister, I will automatically use a slightly more 'proper' register simply out of habit - for example, using 'je' instead of 'ge'. I also have a passive knowledge of West-Flemish simply from listening to my parents speak to each other.

apparently danish 2nd gen immigrants will speak more clearly dialectal than "born&raised" danes. heard a theory that its - white kids display "central admin intelligence" whereas the brown kids display "local affiliation"

ps the white kids are kidding themselves, its super easy to tell if theyre from the continent

I was reading a bit in the paper about a German writer who lives in Finland and he mentioned he liked the Finnish phrase totta kai. I'd never really thought about it before so it kind of shook me a bit to realize my native expression for "of course" or "certainly" literally means "true I guess".

Related to this, Janeway is a war criminal and violated all temporal accords. She betrayed all the values of the Federation. She traveled back in time to destroy the Borg transwarp conduit using future technology, and also infected the Borg with a weaponized virus, and her goal was genocide.

Well done. Sometimes one must break to law, for the greater good.

I can see that, but I assume that instead of proper dialect, it's more of a sociolect? Where it's more linked to your sociological position, and not so much to your geographical origins. This is very much the case in France, where there is not much difference based on location, but immigrants and working class people will speak 'argot' or otherwise informally.

Of course, as usual Flanders is 200 years behind the times and a lot of people speak an actual dialect that is barely intelligible 20 km in either direction.
