@Jacob Depends on the accent

@Jacob yes! It's those subcon accents man I can't stand them.

I look up how to do something in Java and 9/10 videos are useless to me. I just hear and Indian accent and I skip it.

We had a subcon Indian woman teaching English at my high school. My brother's class bullied her hard. I secretly made fun of the way she said "adwerb"

Sorry, I mean subcon accents

@Jacob yeah for CS videos I always look for white names on the accounts or white people in the thumbnails

this tbh

Chill Balboa lmao

I did one of those drawings with layers and layers of color around a single word. It said "werb" *(verb)*

It's not even just having an accent, it's how bad some of them are. The owner of the last place I worked was Indian and understanding him was okay, but of these CS tutorial guys, it's like... why are you even bothering making these videos?

@missliterallywho dude I swear people who talk like that just *don't want* to improve their accents

They mess up even sounds that they have in their own language

They just don't want to speak correctly

You're a bigot for wanting them to

ya I know lol

Petition for subcons to teach English at all American high schools, sign here

@Jacob they see that in the west the people who write books or make tutorials tend to be smart people, so they cargo cult it: they think if they make a tutorial that must mean they are smart too. I've never met people so able to miss the point of things as subcons.

Did you guys see the news about the proud boys a few days ago?

@Nemets

I used to browse Russian learning forums and there was some posters on there suggesting that people *intentionally* keep their accents because it makes them unique or whatever. Honestly, that kind of mentality is incredibly disrespectful to the native speakers that have to deal with your accent. I mean I have an accent when I speak Russian, too, but I at least work on it and try to improve my pronunciation. @ThisIsChris @missliterallywho

people usually say they don't know what my accent is

@Nemets somewhat related some people thought I had a Spanish accent when I was speaking French. This was about 10 years ago

I don't think many people are heard a Polish accent in Russian

I can Vocaroo some Russian so you can tell me what you think it sounds like

and I can send you some videos of Polaks speaking Russian so you have something to compare it to

Now in chat to hear @Jacob 's russian

oh we're gonna do this here?

I'm fine with that

@Nemets get in voice

or I can just post the audio

ah okay

I'll record something since @ThisIsChris was curious and repost it in the Slav server

and you guys can tell me what my accent sounds like

@ChippedStones lets see the bag

Hyping tf out of this bag

That I can't see

Holy
