Looks like it's just a long sleeve shirt a few sizes too big, t'me. Oversized long sleeve t-shirt, maybe try "long sleeve t-shirt dress", sans quotes.

Wow earphone jack is a super cutie in that picture thank you for blessing me.

Uh, try shirt dress. I think those are a thing.

[wierd]

It's a nightgown T-shirt.

Just not worn as a nightgown.  Probably fitted too, so that it accentuates hips.

Thanks wierd, this is perfect.

In American media, Russians speak in broken English. In Russian media, do Americans speak in broken Russian?

[wierd]

I would think that they still speak english, just with a terrible-fake russian accent on top, because most americans cannot even mutter half-sentences in another language. (and certainly not russian.)

That's assuming Russian media does an accurate portrayal anyway.

[Felissan]

You guys don't want to know the kind of accent British and American guys have in French movies.

[Comrade P.]

Nowadays Russian TV and film production uses actual native English speakers for roles that need English. Or some guys with minimally noticeable accent - Russian has more phonemes than English, I think the only one we don't have is "th"? Makes it easier to learn the proper pronunciation. But it's not like we even portray Americans or Englishmen that often.

Americans are getting better at this, I think - saw Hitman's Bodyguard, and like 70% of Belorussian hit squad guys spoke Russian like they were speaking it all their lives (which is often the case in Belarus). Gary Oldman was kind of funny, but he tried pretty hard and did pretty well.

'Allo 'allo?

Are there any diseases it's possible to catch more than once?

I don't mean something like a cold where there's lots of different strains, I mean a disease that doesn't mutate or have different strains that can bypass your immunity, but you can catch more than once anyway?

Dengue hemorrhagic fever comes to mind. Getting infected once leaves you with antibodies effective against that serotype alone; subsequent infections by a different serotype trigger antibody-dependent enhancement repeatedly, and thus DHF. It's not common to see multiple cases of DHF in a single individual, though, since the mortality rate is so high.

In a similar vein, many pathogens will trigger an immune response that looks a lot like a disease response even once someone is immune to the immunogen itself. Oh, and there are no pathogens that don't mutate, because nucleic acids don't work that way, so the overwhelming majority of them have different strains anyway. So you can catch most diseases more than once.

One of the dangers of e.coli is that different strains will war with one another over control of your gut enviorns, this is the source of many of the horrid symptoms of the disease.

Well, I didn't mean "Don't mutate, full stop", I meant "Don't mutate to such a degree the immune system's unable to recognise them" (eg not having different antigens present).

I'm just curious if there's any diseases that have managed to outright ignore our immune system's immunity system.

Well, if that's what you're after, there are intracellular bacteria; they don't so much ignore our immune system as hide from it inside our cells. Salmonella is among them -- and Salmonella not only ignores our immune system by doing so, it intentionally triggers an immune response in order to have the immune system kill the other gut flora with oxygen radicals.

The by-products of which it then eats, by the way.

Do we lose anti bodies over time? Doesn't it get crowded if we don't?

This is if my 6th form level of education is A) being remembered correctly, and B) Correct

basically, yeah
