It's a disjunctive pronoun, just like it would be in French in that same context. If English had a stressed form for "you", that would be used as well. Similar to how you'd never use "I" and "he" in the following:
me: blah blah
him: bleh bleh

With the note that in French specifically "elle" remains "elle" when stressed because the stressed form is the same, in the same way how in English the stressed form of "you" is "you".

Nice, TIL. Thanks!

Looking for the post where a goon describes what Evangelicals think the book of Job in the Bible is about and compares it to what it actually says.

The South doesn't have most of the military bases though. United States military bases are dispersed pretty uniformly across the nation (although Naval installations are more clustered near the shore in some states), possibly as a way to ensure the survival of one or more installations remaining in Federal control in the event of a rebellion or nuclear strike.

As much as people poo poo on the South, no one wants secession because of the massive problems it entails for everyone involved; and no nation-state tolerates the annexation of its territory idly.

People think of the South as having a lot of military installations, because you hear a lot of complaints when the government forces you to move to Georgia rather than San Diego, Hawaii, or Seattle.

The joke in Oklahoma was that because it had a big military installation presence and was also the Indian Country at the end of the Trail of Tears, almost everyone who lives there was forced to by the government at some point.

Giving 'em the old razzle-dazzle

Bloody Hedgehog posted:

The Illuminati went down to Taco Bell, looking for some Baja Blast,
They were so drat angry, 'cause they was hangry,
They was lookin' for a cheap repast.
When they came across this fat man
Chewing on a taco so spicy-hot
And the Illuminati dunked their hickory sauce and said,
"Boy let me tell you what:
I guess you didn´t know it, but we're foodies too,
And if you'd care to take a dare,
We'll make a bet with you
Now you gorge on them chalupas pretty drat good,
Boy, but give the Illuminati their due
We'll bet an empenada of gold against your soul
'Cause we think we binge-eat better than you"

The fattie said, "My name's Chuck, and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret,
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"

Chuck, refill your Coke and down them Crunchwraps hard,
'Cause hell's broke loose in Taco Bell and the Illuminati deals the cards
And if you win you'll get this shiny empenada made of gold,
But if you lose, the Illuminati gets your soul!

The Illuminati opened up the take-out bag and they said, "We'll start this show"
And cheeto-dust blew from their fingertips as they unwrapped their combo
They poured the fire-sauce across their food and it made an evil hiss
Then the midnight to 4am cleaning crew joined in,
And the chewing sounded something like this

When the Illuminati finished, Chuck said,
"Well you're pretty good, old son
But sit down on that stool right there
And let me show you how it's done!"

Fire on the grillers, run, boys, run
The Illuminati´s in the house of the day-old buns
Chicken on the KFC-side, fried up to order,
Granny get your food here, make a run for the border.

The Illuminati bowed their heads because they knew that they'd been beat
And they laid that golden empenada on the ground at Chuck´s feet
Chuck said, "Illuminati, just come on back
If you ever want to eat again,
I done told you once, you sons of a bitch,
I eat the best there´s ever been"

He played,
Fire on the grillers, run, boys, run
The Illuminati´s in the house of the day-old buns
Chicken on the KFC-side, fried up to order,
Granny get your food here, make a run for the border.

IIRC the "do you know de wae" lines were originally just referencing a so-bad-it's-good low budget Ugandan action movie, so while the accents weren't cool to do, it wasn't maliciously racist. I'm pretty loving sure the director didn't have people yelling "EBOLA! EBOLA! I HAVE EBOLA!" and spitting and clicking at people in his movie though, thanks gamers.

It is no sign of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
The Ugandan film industry is super fascinating from the perspective of someone who works in the American film industry. They shoot feature films for a few hundred dollars, and they do it in a few weeks. They churn them out like comic books, so they're often highly topical. It's a really different and cool way of doing things.
