It was after my 10th standard, i started listening to rap songs. Did a lot of swag thingy. Yo wassup how ya doin' whateva nvm, etc. I hated Indian television and most of all Bollywood. I'm a 90s kid and i loved Indian cinema and television back then along with Hollywood and some overseas shows that would be aired dubbed in Hindi. There were shows like Dennis the menace, cat-dog, spongebob, small wonder, Disney cartoons and so on, the list goes on. The reason to mention them is to tell you all that these shows had CONTENT, an actual content one can relate to and enjoy it too. But as time grew, television and movie theatres just became money hoggers. Especially Bollywood, a motherfucking asshole shit cunt, industry is nothing but copying content from another region and just remaking it. Bollywood has a pattern, one hero, one actress and one villain. What about the story? Is it different? No. Not at all. Every story somehow rolls around at the centre of these three fucktards. I'm not done with Bollywood but I'll fuck it later. Back to the point. I found that actual content in american sitcoms. Like HIMYM, TBBT, BREAKING BAD, MODERN FAMILY, OF COURSE FRIENDS, SOUTH PARK, etc. Tonight i watched an Indian channel on YouTube. I've subscribed already but never really paid attention towards it as i thought they only make funny videos. It's called TVF and they've posted their first season of "Permanent Roommates". I'm so glad that such entertainment still exists in my country. I might be wrong about what I'm saying but even if the talent is present here it never reached me. It reached me through YouTube and now the whole world. When i watch tv, i see lots of ads. To watch without ads, I've to pay more. Somehow it comes around money. And why this is happening? So one can feel premium. One can feel that i can dodge such bullets with my shield made of money. This is so bullshit. I used to love ads too. I enjoyed them actually. Now everything on tv seems fake to the core. And Bollywood........... Just go fuck yourself bro. Not bro you motherfucking moron. These are the links to the channels that I'm sharing with all of you here. Please check them out. 1. https://m.youtube.com/user/TheViralFeverVideos 2. https://m.youtube.com/user/allindiabakchod
Many episodes were quite bad, and one of complaints was that they could not write a dialog scene with more than three characters.
Man, TV must've sucked in Pakistan if you thought Friends was any good Me, I got suck of everyone raving as though it was the best thing ever. As far as American sitcoms go, Friends is one of the most fomulaic, right down to having what we called unresolved sexual tension (or UST for short) between Ross and Rachel for most of the show's run.
I've never seen more than a few minutes of Friends. That's not really unusual for me, though. I almost never watch popular network shows.
Sorry...I'll trump your Friends hare with......The Big Bang Theory. Speaking of comedies, I really like Master Of None, the new Netflix Aziz Ansari show. It totally rocks!
"Now I have been [exposed to this entertainment], so I have a choice." Your English is really very good, but we can help you perfect it.
Interesting. I've never seen "I'm" and "I've" used together in verbal or written in a sentence in exactly that way, but there's absolutely no reason we don't that I can think of. Why don't we say that instead of "Now I am so I have a choice" when we use the contraction almost everywhere else? Is it that we've just not heard that particular short-cut yet, or that we want to put more emphasis on the verbs? I have no idea. You are a master innovator. As for the "choice/a choice" complaint, that's a deep issue. He doesn't have just "a choice", and though he has choices, what he said was a bit deeper. He has choice. He has reached up into the heavens, grabbed the tree of knowledge, and is now changed. It touches upon the way we don't have "a" free will or "the" free will, we have "free will". English speakers almost never use "choice" without a definite or indefinite article ("the" or "a"), but that might be because few of us look back on our lives and see the point where "choice" became really defining, not one of a thousand choices to describe, but the mere existence of them for a particular context. One of the great things about new English speakers is that sometimes they're expressing the truth of a situation more accurately than natives who string words together in familiar ways out of habit. It may not be speaking exactly like the native speakers would, but that doesn't make it wrong. Sometimes the word you leave out is where all the deep meaning is, because there is a lot of deep but perhaps subconscious thought behind it. For example, to a Norwegian I might say "Du er så søt og har en fantastisk ass." It's pretty much English that took a different turn. "Du" is "you" in Norsk, while in Icelandic it would be "Thoo" spelled with a letter we lost, the word a cross between "thou" and "you". "Er" is the Norsk present tense of "to be" in all conjugations, so it is "am", "is", and "are" all rolled into one, whereas in Icelandic or old Norse "to be" is even more irregular than English, "Thoo ert" corresponding to the archaic "thou art". Anyway, back to the sentence, "så" is "so" and "søt" is "cute", "og" is "and" and "har" is "have" and "has", "en" is the indefinite article "a", and "fantastisk ass" is what it looks like. So "You are so cute and have a fantastic ass." But what am I saying when I talk about "a fantastisk ass" instead of "fantastic ass"? Am I implying that only one of her butt checks is fantastic? I don't know! Is the assumption that butt cheeks are symmetrical so built in to our culture that we have no way to talk about them separately? Again, I have no answer. There is no right butt and left butt, just a "bakenden". But we only say "asses" at a bikini contest when we look across the stage and say something like "look at those fantastic asses." We never apply it to just one girl, even though asses should come in pairs like feet and socks or have some way to distinguish the left butt cheek from the right butt cheek, which we lack. So if I instead say to the hot Norwegian girl, "Du er så søt og har fantastisk ass", without the "en fantastisk", does she assume that I don't speak Norwegian very well, or does she think I'm making a very deep comment about her ass? That I'm not singling out just one butt cheek or the other, but thinking of her ass as a holistic whole? Think about that. Also note that the indefinite article is fraught with confusion. "An ass" is a jerk ("He's an ass") but add an adjective an the meaning changes completely ("An amazing ass.") Also note that it's impossible to do something naughty with an indefinite ass. What the fuck does "I fucked her in an ass" even mean? So you need the definite article. But if you walked up to a girl and said "You have the nice ass" she'd think it was a code word about some Russian defense secrets hidden inside a ceramic smiling donkey figurine. So what happens if you avoid the articles entirely, putting aside the singular/plural ass confusion for a moment? And that brings us to the whole new realm of possible meanings for "You have fanstastic ass". In that sentence "ass" could even be derived from some strange verb form, like "you give fantastic head". At one level the latter sentence doesn't make any sense unless you're talking about cannibals who gift each other shrunken heads. So in dropping the indefinite article the conversation is moving from the mundane to a different plane. There's no longer "a choice" or "the choice" but "choice", a concept that's unlimited in its ramifications. We take choice for granted because for us it's like breathing. We've never been denied anything and have been indulged and pampered most of our lives. But simple choice might be a very precious thing to those who are familiar with its absence. Our speech should reflect deeper truths, about our worldviews based on our status and origin, our relationship to the world, and about girl's asses. Dropping the definite and indefinite article lets us better express those truths, and opens our minds to a world of possibilities far above our mundane existence.
