Which is actually different from a Midwestern accent.

Completely missing the Pittsburgh accent which is quite distinct. But I don't think I've ever seen it depicted in TV or movies either so it's likely that most Americans are completely unfamiliar with it.

I wouldn't say most Coloradans have a Midwestern accent either, especially in the front range.

Edit: it's even hard to find good examples on YouTube. Here's one guy but I would say this is just one type of accent and it's not that strong. You should hear my cousins...

I also think that they're underestimating the effects of parallax in these photos.

Not really unpopular. That said, while flour (kind of the backbone of most baking recipes) is prone to being inaccurate when measured by volume, there are a lot of ingredients which do not have this problem and are not as sensitive to being measured wrong. If a cookie recipe calls for a quarter cup of chocolate chips that's probably fine. I think a lot of people don't have a scale sensitive enough to measure a half gram of yeast, either.

Exercise matters for your mental health, not just looking good or longevity.

I take it this sub does not have the same moderation standards as its reddit counterpart.

Can't threaten to kill the hostage if I kill the hostage first. Checkmate.

Don't think any of these characters are exactly role models.

Which does not reflect my experience in the working world at all.

As creatures that enjoy killing things, it can be hard to distinguish what they love and what they hate.

Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.
