Was ready to not like this because of the talk-singing, but I love it, it's scratching some particular area of my brain. Yas twink, yas party, yas XCX!

No, if anything I pity them. Most of them speak no other languages and are therefore quite limited in their understanding of other cultures or worldviews. English is a relatively easy language to learn, even on this very website pretty much every non-native English speaker is fluent in at least two languages (their L1 + English), which is something I consider a huge privilege, especially if you keep in mind that it's not just about the languages per se, but also about different kinds of thinking, of behaviour, of humour etc. A neat little bonus aspect of being multilingual is that if one language version of any kind of media (films, books, games...) doesn't appeal to me for whichever reason, I can always just switch to another version. For example, I've realised that in the majority of cases, the German translation of Nintendo games (especially from the late 90s and 2000s) is much more creative and witty on a language level than the English one, oftentimes due to the use of alliteration or semi-archaic synonyms, which seem to be easier to implement in German than in English.

I forgot how stunning the Rehab cover art looks.This classique!I think there's no doubt that the UK doesn't have a future and that it's going to happen in our lifetime, but not anytime soon. These things take time and foresight, otherwise you get something like England's "greatest achievement": Brexit.Tenge Drem bigger, Sweetner obviously better.It's cute, but no, not even close.No. Sounds like a you-problem.Incompetent dog owners will literally watch their little beast (that they failed at raising) kill another animal or even a child and still not realise that they've failed on every level. This being said, I'll never understand the desire to own an animal that, if push comes to shove, you can't control, is stronger than you and that you can't hold back. Like, what's the thought process behind it? If a cat or a small dog goes crazy, they can of course hurt you, but they cannot kill you. The way I see it, there's no reason for any normal (!) person to own a pet that – out of nowhere – can turn into a living, breathing (deadly) weapon with a mind of its own.
