Wayne Brady as king dice is a bad move for a lot of reasons

The game

Even though none of the characters speak words, they do make reaction noises. King dice's voice in the game is at least interpreted as deep, even if it can't be interpreted as raspy.

The history

King dice is based off of cab calloway and other jazz musicians of that era. Even though in the game King dice isn't characterized as a jazz singer, they have him come out on stage in the cartoon doing scat. There's definitely an acknowledgment of where his design came from, and they went with Wayne Brady.

The fannon

For years, The voice dubbing part of the fan community has characterized King dice with a deep but admittedly not always raspy voice. He's also usually accompanied with a faux southern accent. Tennessee / Kentucky... Maybe you can consider it North or South Carolina. Wayne goes against everything that has already been established, and having Wayne do scat was a sensory disorienter. Going against the fannon is never a good move.

The union busting

Hiring actors to do voice acting is circumventing the voice actors unions. Long story short, it's union busting to hire someone who isn't a voice actor to do voice acting. There are a few online articles that can go into well-research to detail about how celebrity voice acting is a difficulty for professional unionized voice actors. Look into any resources of your choice and accessibility about that issue. Of course, of course this isn't a problem if Wayne Brady is in a voice actors union. I don't know if he is or not. 

In conclusion; I'll be hard-pressed that there any good reasons why Wayne Brady was selected to voice King dice for the cartoon. It makes me unmotivated to look into the cartoon any further.

Bewelcome won't get any better

With the recent implosion of Couchsurfing, people are flocking over to bewelcome and trusted roots in great numbers. Trusted Roots is pretty bare-bones in terms of user-to-user communication. They have a private messaging system, and they have a meat system that leaves much to be desired. But TR could possibly be focusing more on hosts and guests rather than Meats, but everything about it is pretty basic. Except for the map. Their map is actually very exceptional. Bewelcome has a lot of obvious potential to replace couch surfing in terms of popularity and usage, but unfortunately it won't. The main reason I've observed is that it's run by an older generation that isn't willing to shake on its Traditional Values for a younger Generations concerns. And my personal experience, I've made a suggestion and a group that were both rejected. I suggested a blocking feature, because with the growth of a user use usage, it's important for people to have agency over

TikTok paid a lot of money to make sure you never hear about these other apps

If you're black, brown, disabled/ disfigured, trans, or talk about any form of progressive politics or human rights you probably have a lot of issues with TikTok. A lot of us have five accounts to try to get around tiktok banning us, but what if we didn't have to live like that? What if we embraced the apps that tiktok paid all those millions of billions and advertising to make sure we never know about?  BIGO (little blue dinosaur logo) and Live. Me+ is where TikTok ripped a lot of its framework for their livestreaming setup from - and then paid billions of dollars in advertising to make sure you never hear about those apps.  And since these apps aren't popular, there are less white people. Not to say that these are designated black and brown spaces, but there are marginally less white people. And in my experience, when I first went on to bigo and live.me - for the few North American white people there were on the suggestions page, most of them were sex workers.  In my opi

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking
