Looks like it says BongaCams. I guess Albanians, North Macedonians, and Lithuanians are into cam sites.

abelwingnut posted:hawaii resident over hawaiian? Because this is a map of official, Federally-recognized demonyms, and the Federal government reserves "Hawaiian" for Native Hawaiians. The Hawaii Tourism Authority has a press advisory here that talks a bit about that distinction, among other things.

SlothfulCobra posted:Which is a bit weird since that cuts out around 90% of the current population of Hawaii, but I understand the sentiment at least even if I don't agree with it. its pretty important to respect what indigenous culture america hasn't annihilated so not agreeing with it is a very odd stance to take

Random soldiers who only fought because they were drafted, I wish them no harm, but Robert E Lee dying of natural causes is loving shameful

Platystemon posted:Southerners triggered by Lincoln Highway, propose pale imitation The western end of this route has a more interesting history than you might expect. San Diego has a better natural harbor than anywhere in the Los Angeles region but the way east is blocked by some steep, steep mountains with nary a gap to be found and to the east of that, there's the Mojave Desert. This posed a major problem for a city in 19th century California because pretty much all road and rail traffic had to come from the north, meaning L.A. There was a proposed rail link discussed in the 1870s but IIRC it died because of how hard it was run a railway through those mountains. Finally a route (which had to cross the border into Mexico for part of its length) was begun in 1906 but didn't open until 1919. Landslides blocking tunnels and the rails were a constant problem and the whole thing had to be rerouted at least once because of it, requiring the construction of an incredible wooden trestle bridge. Why a wooden bridge in the 1930s? The desert gets so hot that an iron or steel bridge would suffer continual thermal expansion and contraction and eventually fail. San Diego had more luck with roads, but early hopes the city could beat L.A. to become the hub of Southern California's road network failed despite some very ingenious but doomed efforts.

I don't like seppo because it makes me instinctively think that it's an insult against Italians. Like it's short for Giuseppe or something.

Am I the only one who has never before heard of "seppo" as slang for Americans? I see on Urban Dictionary it has like 2200 votes, roughly half that of "Yankee" and similar to "bro", so maybe it’s just due to my never knowing any Australians. I know a lot of Brits though and have never heard it, or have heard it so rarely and without context that I just didn’t register it at all. VVV: So is it just one of those ironic things that is only used by edgelords on the Internet, like "Usian" instead of "American"? Or do actual Australians say it?

It's a derivation of cockney rhyming slang which itself is quite uncommon. Historically I think it probably would have been "septic" in the UK.

Used to only hear it from Australians here in Europe, but the Irish have been using it a ton lately, now that they're the only Englishmen left in the EU.
