I kinda don't care about the prince and princess or their kids. The whole story of we just met and are now married trope was way over done 40 years ago. Reminds me of those reality shows where people compete to get married.

"Own it."
Meaning be authentic and don't doubt yourself.
"Perfection is the enemy of good" and "something worth doing, is worth doing poorly"
I take this as a slight improvement is a step in the right direction.

An accent is a unconscious part of ourselves. To change your accent purposefully, you always have to be on. I equate it to someone who is being fake.
Changing your teeth with braces is passive, no thought needed. Changing your accent is active, you need to always be on.
An example would be if you faked being deaf or blind to realize your principles more fully... It's just kinda slimy. You were born this way, own it.

All people speak differently in certain situations. For example, I am very polite with strangers more so than with good friends. Is this code switching?
I have never known someone to change their accent other than to try and be understood better.... Is that code switching?
Do people talk with a British accent with friends then change to an Australian accent with strangers? That seems silly, as does changing your southern accent "to be more persuasive".

You are correct, changing yourself or altering the way you look is similar to changing your accent. For some reason it just seems super strange and more extreme to me.
From OPs post, I believe their intent is not genuine, but one that is calculating. Which is why I responded the way I did.
If you believe one group of people is better than another group of people for something they can't help (accent, height, skin color, etc) and you alter yourself to be part of that group.... Ugh. Biases suck and reinforcing those biases to fit in a certain group is the worst type of person.
Getting braces to look better and improve yourself.... great. Getting braces to be part of a group that believes crooked teeth people are less than... lame.

The question posted was about being persuasive by changing your accent. I think it's slimy and fake to change your accent to get what you want.
I looked up "putting in airs". I don't think OP wants to be better than anyone, OP just more self centered.

"My advice is to be strategic. Understand the culture of the organizations you move within, think about your values and make decisions that align with them. Don’t feel guilty about code-switching: It is not your responsibility to bear the burden of facing a dilemma that you have not created"
In my head it boils down to what options someone has.
If you don't have many options and are part of a shitty organization that values being fake and is super judgy, then yes, adapt and change your accent, clothes, whatever, and make some money.
But if you do have options then I stand by my previous statement.

I work with people all over the country. What you say is so much more important than what accent you say it with as long as it's legible.
I could understand an unintelligible accent being a hindrance. But shifting your speech depending on the situation seems unauthentic.

Own your accent... Be real... Own it.
If you purposely change yourself to be more persuasive, that sounds super fake.
Is this common behavior? Maybe I just don't give a fuck what people think, or maybe it is a generational thing. But isn't it better to be authentic?
I guess the question is. Why are you trying to be persuasive? What's the end goal. And is that goal worth being fake in the process?

Advertising only provides misinformation or redirection from core issues. Do not trust political advertising.
Look at this source for example.
https://guides.vote/guide/august-8-ohio-ballot-issue-explainer
It gives both sides and does a good job explaining what's going on.
No one will educate you. You need to educate yourself.
Please vote in future elections, it's worth the inconvenience.

Comment on First time homebuyer who just closed on a house, does anyone have any general advice? in ~life.home_improvement

First, if you are financially able to, wait to move your stuff into the house until after you have updated the rooms to your liking. For example, painting an empty room is way easier then a room full of furniture. This is the same for floor treatments.
Second, only tackle one project at a time. It stinks to have 4 projects all at different percentages of completion. Tackle one project, get it 100%, then move onto the next project.
Congrats on home ownership. I hope you enjoy the adventure.

For example, the new Jersey Devils stadium is built upon a previous cemetery.
My most exciting discoveries were always prehistoric encampments. Being the first person to touch something someone else made and held 2000 years ago is pretty awesome.

I am an archaeologist, landscape designer and light saber auction collector. I was on Reddit for 10 years and am happy to say that the tildes icon has replaced my RIF icon on my phones home screen.
Generally I appreciate reading about people's thoughts on issues and I will only add to the discussion if it hasn't already been said.
Thanks for sharing this video. I love the idea of playing a linear RPG valheim playthrough.
My buddies and I play valheim once a week. My previous favorite game was Skyrim, so I will definitely play this.
How cool!
