merde

Real jet, when placed in a flame, burns like coal and gives off a coal-like smell and produces soot. No other black "gemstone" behaves like this.

i never "understood" this kind of traced from projection photorealist paintings

what would it change if the original photo was posted here?

Mauritania is culturally and politically part of the Arab world; it is a member of the Arab League and Arabic is the official language. The official religion is Islam, and almost all inhabitants are Sunni Muslims. Despite its prevailing Arab identity, Mauritanian society is multiethnic; the Bidhan, or so-called "white moors", make up 30% of the population, while the Haratin, or so-called "black moors", comprise 40%. Both groups reflect a fusion of Arab-Berber ethnicity, language, and culture. The remaining 30% of the population comprises various sub-Saharan ethnic groups.

same :)

i had friends who were manowar fans. "other bands play, manowar kill" was a confusing statement for me

yes, it's awkward for the "individual" who is longing for reliable expression

it also seems to be awkward for people who can't figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their "disfigured" reflection

it's awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of "inclusive" language

we give shape to languages and languages shape us

English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷

that's what i thought i meant but thanks for the lesson I've never needed

even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension

for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this "hysteria" over he/she/they is ridiculous!

as long as frexit or itexit stays a fantasy, it doesn't matter

🤣

😭

said 5167(?) is mount Ararat and it's clearly not in Europe

but!

when the Europe/Asia separation is based on identity politics… (cough: religion) and Georgia, Armenia or Cyprus is included in Europe but not Turkey, there's no need to argue 🤷

Ararat's Armenian history shouldn't be ignored either

i liked this more but chose naruto over mickey as mickey is still cute and the theme is "… to brutal"
