Can anyone explain to me wtf these weirdo ASMR videos are all about? They're pretty popular on youtube.
Talking about the videos where people whisper and make various noises with objects and/or roleplay performing mundane tasks.
It's oddly captivating just because of how strange it is (and in some cases the person is attractive, which I suspect is a big part of it for many people) but I don't really understand at all the "ASMR" aspect.

No but guerillas kidnapped my dad.
I don't think barrel throwing was involved though.Some people get a pleasant sensation from certain sounds (like when you get that tingling wave run through from a song you really dig) so I guess those videos cater to them.

Judging from that emoticon they eventually released him? Story time yo.

Horrible
It's funny that you bring this up. I've been listening to one teaching me french for the past hour. It's also how I learned the basics of MTG.
It's about getting brain stimulation from certain sounds. For a non-creepy example: imagine someone who likes the sound of rain hitting the roof, or the sound of a stream in a forest. It's basically that, but for a wider array of sounds. Some common ones are tapping, brushing, ear whispering, etc.
Mine usually involves someone writing stuff down with a pencil. I just like the sound *shrug*
Unless he was okay in the end. Pau was he okay in the end?
Then it's either not your thing or whispering isn't your trigger. Try something with no whispering.
I would agree with you but there is this movie called Big Fish which is actually one of my favorites that he made
I found one where a girl is pretending to be a nurse and I'm an invalid or something and she's taking care of me. This one is more my speed.

A little.
I just find the English pronunciation rather ugly so I just prefer to go by Pau.A little.
I had a friend who's mother was Paulina. he actually went by Andre though cause people couldn't remember Andrés
do you dislike when people who are native English speakers try to do the Spanish pronunciations of things? I've never been sure about how people would like that but I tend to do it for some things accidently anyway since I spent a good bit of time around my Chilean, Argentinian, and Mexican friends
I'm sure Pau will have an answer, but I think if it's a good faith effort no one will be offended. It shows you care enough to try and get it right.. right?
More on the horrible side but he was released. My dad is very easy going and funny, so he jokes about it a lot. I thought the gorrilla/guerrilla word play might work...
Yes, they did. He was kidnapped when I was about one. Chained to a tree in the Colombian jungle for six months for ransom money.
He really wants me to publish his story but I've gotten some really bad reactions because it was a communist group who did the kidnapping and thus my dad deserved it, is a rich psychopath/liar, etc. I fear subjecting him and myself to such comments. We can joke about it in the family but the trauma was (and still is) very much a part of our lives. Once people start saying things like that it really fucking hurts.
offended isn't quite what i'm looking for
is it cringey or annoying or just pointless is more what i'm asking
That's my dad's name actually! :3
I don't mind at all if native English speakers try to do the Spanish pronunciations. I prefer people trying than being like: "I don't care how it's actually pronounced so I'm just gonna say whatever." If you try and it just isn't working out, no biggie.
Chilean, Argentinian, and Mexican. Very different accents. That must be fun!
its a good nameThat's my dad's name actually! :3

that makes sense. the only thing that I completely bomb on is rolling my r's but I've gotten a bit better than I used to be
I actually couldn't tell the difference between the accents since I just got used to all of them. apparently when I was learning Spanish I picked up the Argentinian accent. not sure if I still have it
Rrrrrrrrrrodrrrrrrrrrrrrriguez.
would you guys rather go see mallrats 2 when it's made or frolic naked in a field of broken glass?
lol it's been a while since I've gotten one of these
I bet you can use those tricks on me all night long daddy Jobbs
lol it's been a while since I've gotten one of these
Help the man out, everyone can do with a backup vocalist.
Yeah, he is. <3
That's interesting.
Argentinian accents are one of the most noticeable for non-native speakers, I think. Particularly because of how they pronounce the y and ll sounds. My accent pronounces those two differently than the majority as well, but we do a j sound instead of the Argentinian ch/sh one.Professor Beef

Pau have I told you yet that you have the best Twitter handle
It's a boat, not a submarine Ceallach.
Should watch one about hiccups and see if you get a Pavlovian response.

Because your dick is peeking curiously out of your trousers.
Want me to not use them then?
Just that I thought you didn't like me anymore or something!
It doesn't bother me. I don't think I can be made unstraight though

Lol I was a bit bothered but time has passed. And I dont need you to be unstraight. Just make sure to keep the d straight for me.
You can have all my erections just tell me where you want em.
I think that's my only hope, that I find out I enjoy bottoming. Don't need an erection (or an orgasm) for that.
Yeah, he is. <3
That's interesting.
how is it different? that might explain why my Spanish class in school kept marking me wrong for lls and ys
he finally stopped.
A Fish Aficionado
