i'm sure this thread will be about acting and accents.

It is difficult for Americans because you aren't exposed to the accent a lot, in England we can do it easier because of the Australian soaps they air here.

Australia isn't real

There is an issue there where the AUS accent to us will come across as a caricature rather than authentic. its like when the burgers try to an english accent and they put on some shitty snobish english accent that they "think" english people sound like...from watching TV or some shit.
Like keanu reeves in dracula as an example.

lower than making fun of height or pp size?

Is it easier to take oral or topical in England, in America we’re not exposed to it a lot because I fought for no free healthcare o algo

>>218307391
Ive noticed Americans cant tell the different between australian and british accents. Im australian and I cant tell the different between american and canadian accents. Is there actually a difference? Both sound the same to me
>>
there's nothing wrong with balding. It's only sad when the guy tries to pretend it's not happening.
>>
>>218307507
You can tell the difference between Canadian and American. Don't be daft. Just listen to them say literally any word with "ou" in it.
>>
>>218307468
Mocking short men is even lower, but unfortunately karma doesn't exist.

>I cant tell the different between american and canadian accents.
I can and I am a bong.
Fun fact kano in the 95 MK movie, doing a london accent, burgers could not tell the difference and thought he was AUS, so NRS retroactively made kano an AUSfag

Bald guys in hollywood are so rare now, that the few who are and don't try to hide it have instant aura

are you retarded?
American by any chance?
Look up the word "causality"
>>
>>218307507
Yes we can, the only Anglo accent i was ever unsure of was talking to some South African when I was a teenager and i was still 80% sure he was South African.
>>
>>218307507
America has a lot of accents, some are more prominent than the others. Canada only really has 1 unique accent which is just French-Canadians speaking English. The things like saying "eh" at the end of the sentence are just memes. There used to be difference though, Canadians would pronounce some words differently like "aboot" instead of "about" but it's practically gone by this decade.
>>
>>218307506
And that makes the accent harder?

Why didn't he take the meds? It's two simple pills or a pill and some water on your hair at night. He has his whole life to live and an acting career. Just take a second to pop the pills each day.
>>
>>218307391
People will mock him, but he got to fuck scandinavian princess in the asshole.

>>218307612
you don't even need finasteride if it makes your balls feels weird, if you start minoxidil early enough you'll still have a full head of hair, it just won't be as thick. but this guy is rich, he could've gotten the best topical treatments money can buy. that or wigs. absolutely retarded that he's bald.

I literally cant. Just like how people cant tell the different between aus and brit, even to me its clear as day.
>>
>>218307654
>absolutely retarded that he's bald.
the vast majority of bald or balding men really seriously don't care. they're too busy you know, living life and working/providing. instead of preening and obsessing over their looks in the mirror like a teen girl. most of these men even have wives and families.
>>
>>218307507
I can tell the difference. Everyone always thought Kano in the 1995 MK movie was Australian even though his accent was supposed to be Cockney.
>>
>>
>>218307507
canada and US accents are much less pronounced for sure, unless its a really thick canadian one. its mostly when they say sorry like soary or about like aboot
>>
>>218307807
Sometimes it’s hard to tell. There was a girl at my old job who I thought was Canadian at first from her accent but she was from Michigan

Minox modulates the durations of the growth cycle and increases follicle thickness compared to your baseline, but it does nothing for rate of follicle miniaturization. On its own it isn't a long term solution, all it does is roll the clock back on your progression by a couple years, but it doesn't stop it. 2 years on you'll be as thin as you were when you started taking minox only now there isn't anything else OTC to hop to. Turning back time with respect to hair loss is a lot harder than people shilling chemical interventions make it out to be. If it were so simple you wouldn't have balding celebs all over the place coping with the loss or using hair pieces rather than "just" taking some pills. pic related, he's been using hair systems for like 30 years at this point despite being a big time salesman for some goofy hair pills that he obviously doesn't use himself

turns out being bald doesn't make you infertile.

>>218307391
This is for a role.
...right?

>>218307772
The Aussie accent originated from cockney convicts sent there, mixed with irish and scottish "undesirables".
>>
>>218308082
How did we end up with computers and AI and shit before finding a treatment for hair loss

I'm 28 and I consistently have nightmares about going bald, like twice a month

same reason why there isn't a way to permanently make your dick bigger yet. shit is complicated.

For me? It's leaving an unfamiliar business and being completely unable to find my car. Well when it's not the one where my feet get tangled in something and I knock out all my teeth on a table.

>>218307391
He looks terrible at this hair length.
Last thread I was in on this guy just as it died people were saying that it's "acceptance" to wear your hair like normal when you're balding.
It's not acceptance to act like it isn't happening. Is a fat person wearing old clothes that are too small for them "acceptance"? Is a girl with no boobs wearing a bra that's too big "acceptance"?
People have some weird ideas about baldness. I don't blame them, I would probably go insane.
>>
>>218308854
it's apparently a pain in the ass to shave your head daily. it's why some guys just say fuck it and go full costanza. you probably just get used to it and eventually just go numb and stop caring.
>>
>>218307468
It's okay, I'm already bald. Only us balddas can say the b-word.
>>
>>218308933
Full Costanza, with a little bit of length, is fine. Shaving it fully is fine.
It's this inbetween length, especially at his level of hair loss, that makes it look especially awful. It also looks freshly barbered on the sides so it isn't just like he's completely lazy and forgot to shave it. It's a deliberate, terrible decision.
>>
>>218309021
I should also say it looks like the barber gave him a fade into his baldness/thinning which looks hilariously bad.
>>
listen to what autstralian people sounded like just 60 years ago

You can't use that as a metric for anything except "world's worst accent."
Blackhawk Down is chock full of some hilariously bad american accents (bongs and strayans can do a good continental/miswest/coastal accent, but they always butcher a southern accent or some off like foghorn leghorn.
Go watch k-19 widowmaker if you want some of the worst fake russian accents ever, pay special notice to whatever the fuck it is Liam Neeson thinks he's doing.

because actors are lazy retards

That shit has fucking ewan bremner, spud from trainspotting trying to do an american accent.
If you seen trainspotting, cunt nearly speaks exactly like that IRL.
One of the worse is when they got stathan doing some USA mid west flick...he was trying to put on an accent I was laughing just watching it.
>>
>>218307417
>brits actually think they can do other accents
>>218307484
That's what you sound like.
>>
>>218309224
Brits can do other accents, the acting class here is world class as the establishment of the industry was formed here and the pedigree of the acting skill derives from british acting.
The issue you or the above anon are stating is actors who are not even fucking thespians doing shit accents.

Jodie coomer is the last actor I saw who was great at accents, though I don't really remember if she has done a burger accent.

>american and canadian accents
canadians will say "aboot" instead of about, and "zed" instead of "zee", that's mostly the only differences, canadians fly under the radar all the time, half of the major right wing pundits of the last decade in the US are canadians who can't even vote in the US lmao.
>>
>>218307417
British and Australian accents share a lot of similarities.

damn bro needs to shave it off or grow it out

i am a leaf and i have never said aboot or zed in my entire life.

half? who else besides that gay retard Gavin McInnes?

Interesting. Why is the main difference this particular seemingly arbitrary word? How did it come to be?

>>218309282
No, you can't. Every british actor sounds british while playing an American. australian accent is the same thing so it doesn't count.
>>
>>218307391
NOINE HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS??

Here’s how you do an Aussie accent.
1. Do a stereotypical Aussie accent
2. Do a regular English accent
3. Meet halfway
There, you’re good now

>>218309224
I merely said it was easier, stop letting your hatred of us damage your reading comprehension.
