jailbreaks" of ISIS soldiers from SDF prisons

Real question: why didn't they just kill them all?

They used to do that with repeat vowels for a bit like 100 years ago (like coöperation), and for some reason these people are still at it

So what you were born as a catholic? I was born as a mormon, and then I chose to leave

Also fun fact: the original language refers to Adam's penis bone, and not his rib. The people who wrote Genesis knew people aren't missing a rib, but that don't have penis bones and that most other mammals do. "Rib" is a mistranslation

Melfi is more my vibe though

Carmilla Soprano had some dope fits, getting some inspiration rewatching Sopranos

Not if we throw them all in a giant pit first

I love it, and have only ever had a good time

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, tbh.

I am all for recognizing that languages change all the time, etc. But also, isn't the point of laying out categorical schemes like this to provide clarity? And I think clarity calls for us to, when possible, consider etymology, history of usage, etc. because that allows people to more readily understand terminology when they just encounter it in use, rather than getting it from some kinda chart like this.

So, I think it's weird to call bi an umbrella term if the term and the terms supposedly falling under the umbrella are exclusionary. Example: "communist" is an umbrella term. You can call both Marxists and Ancoms communists, because they both fall under the umbrella. I agree that you shouldn't call a pan person bi, but that means pan doesn't fall under any kind of bi umbrella.

Also, pan and omni are synonymous; pan being Greek and omni Latin. I've never heard of this distinction of pan having no gender preference and omni having one - feels made up by this person. BTW, I identify as pan, and have a preference (though I personally wouldn't say it's a gender preference. I know several agender people and I am attracted to some, and not to others, though none of them have a gender, so I don't think gender is really what my preferences are about. And I could go on about this, but that's a whole nother post).

Pure cowardice. We have several emojis of flags burning that have a cross on them. So clearly we're okay with burning religious symbols. Are we just afraid of being called antisemites? Zionists are going to call us that anyway.

It was in the 70s yesterday here, it's snowing rn

Human industrial activity has filled the oceans with heavy metals (and not the cool kind)
