you can see also a struggle over the pace of a converastion when two people are talking adverserially and deliberately slowing down a fast paced talker can be a method of control. you see it in snooker too, ronnie the rocket gets very incensed at slow players, so they do it more to wind him up. chess is another arena where these tatcics are used. people vary in speed of process to such an extent that tempo becomes a habitual battleground.
In turn based games you try to rush the opponent at the start so that you end up thinking on their time.you can see also a struggle over the pace of a converastion when two people are talking adverserially and deliberately slowing down a fast paced talker can be a method of control. you see it in snooker too, ronnie the rocket gets very incensed at slow players, so they do it more to wind him up. chess is another arena where these tatcics are used. people vary in speed of process to such an extent that tempo becomes a habitual battleground.
It sounds terrible, but the parental units have an Ireland hard-on, my da cant stop talking about how he's quarter Irish and he's always putting on Irish music and doing very terrible Irish accents and talking about going to the pub to et a Guiness
I'm very interested in this line of thinking. That my values and mannerisms are partly downstream of Protestant Catholic tensions across the Atlantic in 1900. It's just very very difficult to trace those influences in nonstereotyped, nonclumsy waysit probably gets captured by all kinds of commercial forces, and some of the bullshit in the air. looking back in time at your roots to get a sense of your place in the world is ancient and very human though. trying to make sense of how you came to be and of what you've experienced in your life. western cultures at least compared to eg afghanistan are very present-oriented. but all that is a lie no. you're the consequence of things that happened a hundred years before. a long echo of historical events
the stereotypes are definitely a barrier and they're out to get you cloud your judgement. irishness probably in particular. the pogues and mcnulty and ben affleck. the american idea of irelandI'm very interested in this line of thinking.

i think that's false premises i.e. can you really even start to transpose uk social categories onto somewhere as different as the US it usually makes a mess when you try to do that. the language of class in general is so outdated as to be useless or worse totally misleading the language of 'working class' 'middle class' 'upper class' is as outdated as 'proletariat' and 'bourgoise' we need the woke wordsmiths who have invented and socialised so much new language let loose on all of that we need neologisms@shakahislop do you think there is less class stratification/prejudice in the States than England/Europe? Or just manifests differently? I listened to an interview with the Hardy/Austen/Woolf biographer Paula Byrne recently, who had moved to Arizona from Oxford, and she said it was very different here. That she didn't get shit for her cockney accent. But also maybe that's just about Americans being oblivious to english class subtleties
