  • I could’ve sworn I read that some people did some research on the accent of folks from where he was from and the conclusion was that he did say “for a”. Exaggerating it, if you say it like “fer a” then sort of slide from one to the other like “fera” and sort of drop a little enunciation off the end you basically end up with “fer”. So to me, I think he said “for a” and that was his recollection as well, but either way the quote is basically entrenched as “for” so I don’t really think it’s worth trying to fight to correct people. Especially when the argument is so full of weird details, but if you just listen to the clip it sounds like he fucking just says “for” lmao.

    I was thinking about a similar thing recently because I got a Star Wars question wrong in trivia. The question was what planet is cloud city on. I said Besbin but apparently it’s Bespin. Without looking at the word in a subtitle or knowing what it is beforehand they sound exactly alike as far as I can tell.


  • AccuWeather must have picked this trick up from radio stations on Facebook. At least in the past a lot of them would make memes and throw their logo on it, I can only guess in the hopes people would see the logo even if they’re downloading and sharing and not clicking the share button.








  • They’re pushing hard for them in Georgia. I get a lot of ads on YouTube about how Georgia Power has recently locked in a rate for three years. (I believe they’re ignoring that it shot up a lot prior to this, but I might be mistaken.) It’s so weird seeing ad campaigns that are targeting businesses instead of individuals (or at least individuals working for businesses).
