Just FIY those are called phrasal verbs and they’re probably the second worst thing Europeans invented after capitalism.

I mean any group that does that would be by definition not respectable so… yeah.

I wonder why there are so many entries in this page. Definitely not because Palestinians have been the victims of continuous ethnic cleansing since 19 fucking 48.

Obama’s first term? And in the first place why the fuck do they keep the filibuster when it keeps getting used against them? That alone is ineffective governing. Also they’re ineffective even in the executive branch so it’s obviously not about the filibuster.

Is this an anglophones stick together kind of thing? I mean this isn’t a very productive statement to be fair but Trudeau is trying to throw Mexico under the bus to appease Trump here and they decided to put Steinbaum’s statement as the headline.

I mean isn’t that like 90% the US’s fault?

I mean they won all 7 swing states and the Senate, and in return have a slightly weaker majority in the house. It’s not a historic landslide, but they’re in a very strong position for the next two years.

It worked for Republicans because Democrats are ineffective at governing. That’s just a fact, and it remains a fact even when they have the majorities they need (or don’t need them). It’s just how centrists are. Republicans, for all their flaws, know what they want to do and will do anything to achieve it.

Oh I thought they were caught at the scene for some reason. Now this is a victimless crime.

Arabic speaker here and now that you mention it, the way sentences can get very long without a way to tell what the fourth “it” in the sentence refers to can be a bit of a pain, as is having to reword said sentences when writing to avoid ambiguity, but what you’re thinking of there is declensions more than gendered nouns themselves. I mean gender doesn’t hurt to have but it’s the fact that in other European languages words change shape depending on their role in the sentence that’s making the difference here.

Non-gendered wording isn’t exclusive to English. Asia exists.

I mean to be fair those languages have other ways of determining which word does what other than sentence order and vibes if my knowledge of basic Chinese is correct.

I seriously have no idea.

It’s not even extreme; that applies to most of their decisions, but not this one, which literally makes no sense. The 100% Islamic thing to do even if you don’t care about women’s lives or autonomy or any of that would be to encourage women to become doctors so they can treat other women and minimize haram mixing between genders. I mean they haven’t exactly been following Islam up to this point but this time it’s particularly egregious because it crosses from “Islam doesn’t tell you/allow you to do that what the fuck are you doing” to “Islam explicitly tells you not to do this what the fuck are you doing”.

Source: Am Muslim, up until now I could at least comprehend most of their decisions (in the sense that I was familiar with the thought process that lead to them because misogyny is everywhere around here; I obviously don’t condone any of it), but now I’m as flabbergasted as everyone else.

A creole between English and… What exactly?

What, pray tell, happened to Jews in 1948?

Israel will never allow this to happen (source: The last two times this was tried, they did not allow it to happen) so… Uh… Good luck.

Uou would’ve had more of a point if this was establishment media (I’ve never seen them use the word massacre to describe anything happening in Palestine) but the article in the OP isn’t by establishment media.

I mean you’re straight up buying shares in plantations so yes.

Okay up until now you could kinda sorta see what they’re trying to do if you try to think as an old Middle Eastern guy who thinks Islam allows him to be a bigot, but this is just weird as fuck. Preventing women from becoming midwives means that only men will be able to help women give birth, which Islamically MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING SENSE. I thought I knew what these guys are doing, but now I have no idea.

It’s absolutely not. See: Logan act.
