Quote from: Blazor on October 03, 2024, 12:01:19 AMI have a feeling my English might be a bit "muffled" too 

I bet them Singapore gals would swoon over a Southern accent, teehee.

There are lots of white American expats here, but I haven't met any with a Southern drawl. I've met some with Texas accents.

A Virginia accent (around here), is kinda close to a Texas accent, jus slightly different.

Only if they are a true Texan, will you of heard a Southern accent.

I been seeing so much on my Appalachia people dealing with this flooding. Its bad. Not only dealing with the aftermath, but the fucking Powers are restricting folks on helping, not allowing them in, telling them they will be arrested, etc. Folks 'round here are getting it done though, fuck the system! No one saving us but ourselves. I'm fine btw lol. Creek only got a lil high, I was blessed. But jus down the road it got bad, not as bad as other areas Im seeing though.

Yeah the recent Hurricane. You prolly haven't seen much about it, the media been pretty silent, and the government isn't helping at all, and more so restricting help. When I say it was bad, I mean BAD.

I don't watch or read American media. It was mentioned in the Singapore Straits Times. The US election dwarfs everything else from your country right now.

What pisses me off, is them threatening arrest to the folks that are actually helping. And then find out that instead of the National Guard helping, they get sent to fight overseas this past Saturday. I've never even heard of the NG going over seas! Then on top of that, the government has sent 17 billion recently to Ukraine and Israel. But "we don't have enough money to afford hurricane season". Can you believe that shit?

(spits out bubblegum, checks pocket) looks like I'm all out!!!

Your government has given Ukrain's government a lot more than $17 billion.

I don't know about arresting people helping.
