Just discovered there's literally only one Welsh ASMR person. Feel this is severely underutilising the best accent the UK has to offer.

Surprising, seems like a real growth market after they made almost everyone in Elden Ring welsh including the premium waifu.

I do hope that leads to more welsh accents in video games overall, my favourite character in the entire Star Wars canon is Captain Bryn, a random questgiver in the MMO The Old Republic. Sounds like he entered the Imperial Academy straight out of Pontypandy.

It's more that they decided the magic academy region should be Welsh, apparently as a way of distinguishing it as a separate nation from the rest of the setting. So yeah, Welsh people in Elden Ring are all amoral, deranged wizard-scientists and their long-suffering servants, including two of the most popular characters in the game (Ranni and Blaidd) and two of the most despised (Seluvis and Pidia who may actually be the same person).

I have never played a Xenoblade game but there is a surly Welsh catgirl in the second one. I'd link an example video but the game is extremely JRPG, especially in the outfits if you know what I'm getting at, but there it is.

I went to Uni at Aberystwyth and picked up an appreciation for the Welsh accent. Top tier indeed.

Ah, of course.

The funniest assertion from the whole thing was her claim that George Bush's brother was the maintenance guy for the two towers and that's how he closed them for 12 hours to move explosives in without anyone catching that.

I've never heard that one before even in tinfoil world.

It's sometimes possible to accuse Israel or Saudi Arabia of things, even nonsense things, without necessarily being antisemitic or islamophobic, but I'm not sure how you can get so far into "janitor Jeb Bush planted bombs throughout both towers over a 12 hour period" without knowing that "Israel did 9/11" always comes alongside with "and they told all the Jews to stay home on the morning of the attack" and "and it was done to erase Rothschild ZOG banking records" and all the other stuff that you shouldn't have to ask about whether it is antisemitic or not.

And even if she did somehow manage to miss all that she's still a pudding brained truther idiot who goes on about 9/11 theories even dumber than the usual crop to people in public, which is a bad thing in itself

Imagine thinking "I've got to watch Loose Change" in 2019 lol

It’s also weird. Throughout my 30s people pegged my age as ten years younger than reality, but around 39 (coincidentally when I started really noticing the white hairs in my beard) I suddenly got hit with a decade of aging in a few months.

Everyone's thought I was about 40 since I was about 25 because the hair adds a lot of age, especially the grey. If I shaved it all off I would probably drop 10 years.

I though the saudi arabia thing was sort of relevent in the general sense that they promote that batshit brand of Islam, but I really don't know what Israel could have to do with it other than just antisemitism.

Something to do with wanting to draw the US into increasing their presence in the Middle East iirc, but it's so tied up with the 'no Jews went to work'/'dancing Mossad agents'/''secret ZOG banks' idiocy in the 9/11 instance that yes it's also mostly antisemitism.

40 is definitely the 'find out' counterpart to the 'gently caress around' part of your 20s and early 30s in terms of health. Mostly because +40 is about the age that you stop being as shocked when you hear of people who never exercise and have bad diets having heart attacks.

And yes, I realise my avatar change is apt to make this point.

My 40th is in a few months. I'm a little sad that there will be no babies. Mostly I'm expecting my birthday present to be an announcement that retirement age is increasing by another 5 years, thus increasing the chances of me dying at my desk and nobody noticing until my sphincter relaxes several hours later.


I don't know what joi stands for, and I'm eating so I don't want to Google it.

Not to be rude to Welsh people, but if they're searching for ASMR on PornHub, then either they don't understand ASMR, or I don't understand PornHub.

Also, can confirm that East Midlands people do not appreciate BBW IRL *wiggles 3rd chin seductively*

OwlFancier

joi is jerk off instructions, basically someone talking dirty to you but specifically in a way to facilitate you wanking, possibly with pictures.

and there is absolutely porno ASMR because it turns out people get turned on by having people whisper at them very intimately and some people who get the weird response ASMR people look for also find it arousing.

I do like that the north east is basically just googling "show me the porno of my people"

I really need a geographical breakdown of scotland though, I want to know how the north/south east/west split goes, also specifically the islands full of church weirdos and edinburgh.

IIRC, the thing about Saudi Arabia and 9/11 is that while it wasn't actual state terrorism, an embarrassingly large amount of royal family members and prominent businessmen turned out to have deep ties to al-Qa'eda - arguably more than in any other country. Kind of like the whole business with the Japanese government and the Moonies.

No? Chav is a skinny lad with his trackies tucked into his socks and a nasally voice wearing fake burberry and either hassling you for a fag or swearing at you, possibly at the same time.

On ASMR, it also refers to a particular form of immersive, soothing sound design chiefly designed to exploit the capabilities of headphones with pleasing, relaxing audio texture. So you can get ASMR versions of damned near anything, from car maintenance to literary analysis of Also Sprach Zarathustra. I'm sure that ASMR porn is absolutely a thing.

IIRC, it started as an antiziganistic slur. There's a reason it's derived from the Romani 'chavo', meaning 'boy'.

Today I learned where the word originates from, never knew that. I don't... think it was used like that when I was a kid, I vaguely remember it being slightly interchangeable with "townies" and pretty associated with the rougher bits of grangetown and boro. Sort of like a weird kind of intra-class classism, cos nobody was posh but the kids from the proper rough bits of the town were still looked down on. Though being fair there were some places you wouldn't want to go cos you'd just be non-stop hassled by kids in tracksuits.

I will say one thing for the internet it does seem to keep kids off the street unless they're actually playing, and comparatively out of trouble compared to when I was a kid and we didn't have it.
