I was thinking Watershark with the Elementanimal theme, but that works too!

Edit: Or, I mean, the obvious, Blueshark

“Rafael” is also a preferred name. So we better just start referring to the piece of shit descriptively.

He wanted to hold a TED talk so badly but was too incompetent, so he decided on holding Ted talks instead

I had to look up what that meant, and I am glad I did! I see there is !orphancrushing, but unfortunately it’s pretty small.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Jews

Palestinian Jews or Jewish Palestinians were the Jewish inhabitants of the Palestine region (known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael, lit. ‘Land of Israel’) prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

I’d say the same logic applies: he was a Jew from the Palestine region. Of course that’s probably not the most accurate terminology, but I wouldn’t deem it incorrect.

Masimatutu, 26 days ago (edited 26 days ago)

It becomes easier if you think of Palestinian as a demonym rather than an ethnonym.

Masimatutu, 26 days ago

Not if it’s meant as a demonym. The toponym “Palestine” was already used as early as 1150 BC (en.wikipedia.org/…/Timeline_of_the_name_Palestine)

Again, the corrupt and unsound Form of speaking in the Plural Number to a single person, YOU to One, instead of THOU, contrary to the pure, plain, and single Language of TRUTH, THOU to One, and YOU to more than One, which had always been used by GOD to Men, and Men to GOD, as well as one to another, from the oldest Record of Time, till corrupt Men, for corrupt Ends, in later and corrupt Times, to flatter fawn, and work upon the corrupt Nature of Men, brought in that false and senseless Way of speaking YOU to One; which hath since corrupted the modern Languages, and hath greatly debased the Spirits, and depraved the Manners of Men.

It’s called the long s (ſ; ſenſeleſs). It’s actually pretty interesting, but unfortunately I don’t have much time to explain right now, so in short, it exists because language.

No, they were pronounced exactly the same, but everyone who could write was a nerd

規則???

Lemme translate this back into English in order to demonstrate how bad this Chinese is:

Tom: Can you (plural) speak Chinese

You (singular): It is.

Edit: I’ll fix it for ya though :)

TOM: 我怎麼能去廁所？

你：你會不會說中文？

TOM: 當然了

Masimatutu, 1 month ago

Yup. I like it more because I think it’s prettier and more logical. I was taught simplified growing up, though.

Chinese doesn’t really have a real “yes”. 對的 (对的) just means correct. The most straightforward yes answer to a yes/no question would probably be [verb you want to confirm]+的. So “yes” in response to “會不會” would be 會的.

Masimatutu, 29 days ago

In case you’re really wondering, that’s Chinese for rule. OP didn’t put “rule” in the title :P

Thanks for telling me. It would have been so good though…

Oh, right, and also walkers and mobility scooters. Darn.
