In Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal, Brazil, USA, Japan, Ghana, wherever) they're an americano/a but in English (as spoken in USA, UK, Brazil, Portugal, Nepal, wherever) they're South American but not American because it's a linguistic difference rather than a geographical/cultural one

The reason they have to manipulate the audience is because people look for validation and so feel good when other people react to things in the same way as them. If another equally funny show has a laugh track and you don't, yours will likely be less enjoyable to watch unless it's a specific form of humour which benefits from not having a laugh track.

Basically a laugh track can't save a terrible show, but it can manipulate people into finding a mediocre show more enjoyable to watch, but a mediocre show will make people laugh organically at least a few times anyway.

You don't see it again and again but you usually recommend it to other friends so they go see it with their other friends?

Spotify take a standard cut?

It's record labels that are scamming small artists, and frankly spotify offer a better chance for them to go independent than having to rely on connections to get radio play so someone will buy their music

I don't think that lemmy's principles are left leaning at all... Sure they're anti-authoritarian but being anti-authoritarian doesn't mean you're a leftist - ~~George Orwell characterises this really well~~ (mb)

I stopped going for a while to one because they put the multipack crisps on the other side of the store to the larger bags though as I thought they'd just stopped stocking them

It's all well and good rotating things around but don't put stuff in nonsensical places
