Every search you make, email you send, text message, voice chat, location, and most likely the conversations you have in your own home are monitored and stored in a database for whoever knows how long (probably forever). When I hear land of the free, I immediately think bullshit. We are slowly losing our freedoms, what can we do to prevent this? I mean, when Edward Snowden dropped the leaks, people protested, but barely anything changed. What can we do? This post not only applies to Americans, your own government in another country may possibly does the same thing. Feel free to comment!

      We do it far more about our own countries too but vous ne vous en rendez pas compte, car vous ne parlez que l’anglais

            …is this the part where I remind you that what we now think of as a British accent and British spellings were added by the British after the American colonies declared independence, and we kept the old way while British scholars were talking about how the word “color” didn’t look French enough without a U, or are you just here to troll

              Going to need a sauce on that. Keep the high fructose corn syrup to a minimum, there’s a good chap

              Edit - I take it you couldn’t find a source that wasn’t made up by some intern to fill a couple of column inches then? Like the “Modern American accent is closer to original English than English is now”. The source of that “fact” being the pronunciation of one word. By some people in Brooklyn 😂
