The US military actually targeted professional sports quite heavily in the early 2000s That’s why at that time our troops also comes up a lot

It may have changed but when I was in the Philippines they played the anthem before every movie in the theatre.

If you’ve ever seen the F1 then you will know the jolly oompa Italian National anthem…. Well then. 1. Brothers of Italy, Italy has awakened; Scipio's helmet she has put on her head. Where is the Victory? Offer her the hair; because slave of Rome God created her. Chorus: Let us unite! We are ready to die; Italy called. 2. We have been for centuries stamped on, and laughed at, because we are not one people, because we are divided. Let's unite under one flag, one dream; To melt together Already the time has come. 3. Let's unite, let's love; The union and the love Reveal to the people God's ways. We swear to liberate the native soil: United, for God, Who can beat us? 4. From the Alps to Sicily, Everywhere is Legnano; Every man of Ferruccio has the heart and the hand; the children of Italy are called Balilla; The sound of every church bell calling for evening prayers. 5. They are branches that bend the sold swords; Already the eagle of Austria has lost its feathers. the blood of Italy and the Polish blood Drank with Cossacks But its heart was burnt.

That bio screed is wild because on one level it’s a perfectly coherent synthesis of what makes good drama, with rare insight that cuts to the heart of some real issues in fiction writing But then on another level it’s all in defense of weird nazi bullshit and proto-chuck-tingle premises that he seems totally unironic about, plus he’s just a huge rear end in a top hat

I was in San Diego some years ago and there was some kind of running/walking event with the start line just outside my hotel. And it began with everyone facing the flag and singing the national anthem at like, 7 am. Even my American friends thought that was unusual.

In SD it honestly may have been a military 5/10k, but still weird for them to sing the anthem. We always had speakers and they'd just play it beforehand.

Skwirl posted:I stopped saying the pledge in like third grade and stopped standing for it in sixth. Got sent to the principles office once by a sub over it in high school, principal laughed and sent me back to class. Everyone goes "oh my god can you believe USA does this nazi indoctrination poo poo" but this is the universal experience. Every kid in high school deliberately snubbed the pledge because it was dumb, and I lived in loving chud central. We even had to do the Texas pledge too  Push El Burrito posted:I went to a baseball game and the Blue Jays were playing and someone booed the Canadian national anthem. That's just normal in hockey. Get up to date, baseball. Also plz no one look up the lyrics of La Marseillaise, although screaming about how you're going to slay tyrants and then die is arguably a good version of the bloodthirsty anthem Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 13:07 on Jul 4, 2021 |

Anime weirdos continue to not understand how the Japanese language works: https://twitter.com/MarzGurl/status/1411450227752509440?s=20 It's a thread. https://twitter.com/MarzGurl/status/1411640932781346818?s=20

I've been studying Japanese for like 6 months at a half assed pace, and I'm pretty sure I have a better grasp of the language than some of the fan subs I used to watch.

Someone post the screenshot from that Chrono Trigger fanslation that changed "Lord Magus" to "Magus-sama," because only the latter could properly encapsulate all the complex nuances of the relationship between Magus and his minions. I'm either bad at googling or it has been scrubbed from the internet.

To be fair sometimes it’s the Japanese who don’t get it. Like the makers of the game 13 sentinels refuse to let the dub drop honorifics even though in a game with an English script they make no sense

Ha, I recall the absolute bafflement of a Japanese exchange student back in my high school days when I told her my sister was named Erica. There are a finite number of mouth sounds we can come up with!
