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.

Review: BAUHN foldable Bluetooth keyboard pink/silver

A quick review of another attack item from Aldi  What's really cool about these foldable keyboards is that they have four color options!  It magnet shuts close but it doesn't have magnets on the other side to make it stay open so you have to use it on a flat surface.  It has a hard time connecting/staying connected with cell phones, but it works fine with my Linux mint laptop. I initially bought it to see if it would connect with my KiaOS flip phone and unfortunately it didn't, but I'm going to keep it because it connects to my laptop. For it to connect to my Samsung Android, I have to unpair it and repair it and do the connection settings every time. I can't suggest buying this, But if you want something cheap for your laptop that comes in different colors, go for it.

Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp

 A lot of you probably didn't notice, but Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp went down yesterday because the dsn a and AAA records were attacked. I don't have a full understanding of what that means, but given that the domains became available for purchase, I can make context clues based on the information I already have with my short time as a self-proclaimed internet historian. I'm also the type of person that is more interested in why this happened because what happened is a lot simpler to explain. What's not going to be so simple to explain but the media is going to try to explain anyway are the Pandora papers. The long records of a former employee recording all of Facebook's wrongdoings. I was one of the many watching the highlights of Facebook's hearing, but I wasn't watching them in full like many others. If you weren't involved at all, but you're getting involved now, you're about to learn a lot from the summaries of the Pandora...

The different methods of ingesting cannabis for me

Since I've started THC, I've also started vaping and smoking. I've been doing CBD edibles since 2019, so I'm very used to it. Cannabis edibles have that terrible chalky aftertaste, though! It takes longer to hit, but by golly when it does hit - it's a blast off!  I tried other forms of been taking cannabis because I got tired of that aftertaste. I spent a little time with tinctures, but apparently I was doing it wrong. You're supposed to hold it under your tongue. The reason why I put down tinctures is because I noticed I was going through them quickly, but after learning that I might try them again. It was better than the aftertaste from edibles.  Vaping is the most convenient, and it smells great! Not so worried about an aftertaste. It hits faster, but it doesn't last as long is edibles. As someone who's been doing edibles for a long time, that was a very sharp change. You have to take special care of vapes, though, and you have to charge them. Occasio...
