Well not every accent is most famously known to be used by a silly sounding chef muppet. But with how big PewDiePie managed to get I guess that non-Swedes are not so put off by it.
I thought it was the Glaswegians themselves that had the most made fun of and parodied Scottish accent?
Thanks for the recommendation, Tyler seems like really cool dude and he has an awesome voice. I'll definitely try to improve my accent because when I hear others speak English with a noticeable Swedish accent I cringe quite a lot.
Yeah I've heard that the reason for that is that the Vikings had a much greater cultural and linguistic impact up north because the Norwegians stuck around there a lot longer than the Danes did in England.
As a Scotch-Irish yourself, perhaps you can tell me how convincing my attempt at the accent is: https://whyp.it/tracks/189736/to-be-or-not-scottish?token=9wUL3
The Scottish accent is really comfortable to use because you can roll your r:s and don't have to use that awkward English r-sound, and because Scottish vowels sound more Scandinavian than other English accents
The German accent has quite a lot of positive connotations
Wiki says the same thing
Humans, horses, orangutans and lions are among the few species that may grow their head hair or manes very long. Humans are believed to have lost their fur 2.5–3 million years ago as hominids when transitioning from a forest habitat to the open savanna, as an effect of natural selection, since this development made it possible to run fast and hunt animals close to the equator without getting overheated. Head hair was an exception, which was a survival trait because it provides thermal insulation of the scalp from the sun, protects against ultraviolet radiation exposure (UV), and also provides cooling (when sweat evaporates from soaked hair).[5] The ability to grow straight hair has been observed among Homo sapiens sub-groups in less sunny regions further away from the equator. Relative to kinked Afro-textured hair, straight hair allows more UV light to pass to the scalp (which is essential for the production of vitamin D, that is important for bone development[6]).
The ability to grow very long hair may be a result of sexual selection, since long and healthy hair is a sign of fertility.[7] An evolutionary biology explanation for this attraction is that hair length and quality can act as a cue to youth and health, signifying a woman's reproductive potential.[8] As hair grows slowly, long hair may reveal 2–3 years of a person's health status, nutrition, age and reproductive fitness. Malnutrition, and deficiencies in minerals and vitamins due to starvation, cause loss of hair or changes in hair color (e.g. dark hair turning reddish).[9]
Anthropologists speculate that the functional significance of long head hair may be adornment, a by-product of secondary natural selection once other androgenic/somatic hair (body hair) had largely been lost. Another possibility is that long head hair is a result of Fisherian runaway sexual selection, where long lustrous hair is a visible marker for a healthy individual. For some groups or individuals, however, short hair is the selected trait.[7]

Yes, and China's economy will likely soon also plateau and stagnate like Japan's did

There's nothing fucked up about it. That's the temperature scale they use, it's perfectly reasonable for a map that uses the same colour scale year-round.
Violet: <-20°C, dark blue: -10°C, light blue: 0°C, green: 10°C, yellow: 15°C, orange: 20°C, red: 30°C, dark red: 35°C, purple: >40°C

10–15°C is the average annual temperature for most of Europe, so having that represented by the middle of the colour spectrum (green–yellow) makes perfect sense.
The weather is perfect for the foreseeable future
Pretty normal for Moscow, very hot along the lower Volga.
Moscow; average daily high july: 25°C, record high: 38°C.
Astrakhan; average daily high july: 33°C, record high: 41°C.
Volgograd; average daily high july: 31°C, record high: 42°C.
Low elevation, flat terrain, low precipitation, little vegetation, and being situated in the middle of a continent far from the moderating influence of oceans and large seas.
In the last fifteen years I would say that the people and their beliefs have changed a lot more than France itself has changed.
I think it quite dumb to claim that 'people don't change, only their environment does'. People's political opinions and worldview are much more fickle than reality is.
His immaturity, stupidity, and cruelty as well. You simultaneously despise and disdain him while also feeling sorry for him. Unlike Joffrey, Aegon seems like he could have been a good person if he had a better upbringing and proper guidance.
So far he's the most complex character we've seen on the show, and Tom has played him incredibly well.
People in France did change their opinion, that's why RN replaced replaced The Republicans as the main right-wing party. Far-right sentiments has become much more common and accepted in french society.
He is using it in the older meaning
Do you know where to see more up-to-date statistics than what I could find?
I highly doubt that a harpon is better and more consistent at killing an whale instantly than a rifle is at killing an deer instantly
A rifle that can kill an animal instantly is more humane than a harpon
It's not cool in the slightest, it's just awful, enraging, and detestable. Stuff like this is why Southern Italy is still such a hellhole.
Researchers say barred owls moved westward by one of two routes: across the Great Plains, where trees planted by settlers gave them a foothold in new areas; or via Canada’s boreal forests, which have become more hospitable as temperatures rise because of climate change.
The spotted owl is adapted for an environment where it doesn't have to compete with the barred owl because they were previously isolated; it's a classic case of an invasive species outcompeting a native one.
The most unique thing about Sweden are our coastal archipelagos, no other country in the world has as many islands as Sweden.
I remember reading that of the 6000 most commonly used words in English, that 5% of them are of Old Norse origin. I wonder what that statistic would be for Scots.
