Y'all are really asking how "Squirrel" and "Girl" can rhyme when Air Skwirl is part of the conversation?

Pronouncing a word spelled with two syllables as one syllable is clearly bullshit. Now excuse me, I'm off to Worcestershire to meet Lord Cholmondeley

The example they posted of american pronunciation said it with two syllables in a way that didn't rhyme with Girl, so I am assuming trying to understand further is a path to madness and ruin

If you kind yell it at the end of a sentence it sounds like a beastie boys rhyme.

Otherwise, as an American agreeing they don't rhyme unless you torture the way you say squirrel.

Yes. Especially when they're copy-pasted boilerplate that doesn't even name the group they're acknowledging.

Exactly as much as you'd think and maybe a bit more. They do wind up the insanely racist brigade though so they have some effect.

I've seen them occasionally in the US and almost always as the most corporate boilerplate nothingness, yeah. I remember that Untitled Goose Game (of all things) had one with what seemed like stronger language than average, specifically mentioning that sovereignty was never ceded.

Man, MN has been knocking it out of the park with all the laws being passed this year. One of the awesome things that didn't get much coverage is that those anti-union, political or religious meeting are illegal come August 1st. (Our governor is in the teachers union)

Other awesome worker protections:
Non-compete and no-poach agreements are non-enforceable

General Contractors are liable for subcontractor wage theft. GC will have to pay the stolen wages and deal with recovering the money from the sub.

No more pre-employment cannabis testing. Occupational exemptions below.

I really hope we'll get to hear companies freak out when the finally learn about the new laws.



(1) safety-sensitive positions; (2) peace officers; (3) firefighters; (4) positions requiring face-to-face care, training, education, supervision, counseling, consultation or medical assistance to children, vulnerable adults, or healthcare patients; (5) positions requiring a commercial driver’s license or subject to federal or state motor vehicle regulations requiring testing; (6) employment positions funded by a federal grant; and (7) positions for which state or federal law requires cannabis testing.
