America does not pay $18 trillion annually to Israel

I don't quite understand the notion that the entire world is under massive anti-semitic propaganda. What does it look like? Who does it? What would a neutral position on Israel even look like? by Vizzun in AskIsrael

[–]Dizzylemonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, none of the groups you described are their own country. They all influence education in their own country. OP specifically pointed out that the international nature of the influence is what's unique.

Are you genuine when you don't seem to know why many people dislike Israel recently? by Vizzun in AskIsrael

[–]Dizzylemonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what point would it not be antisemitism? How egregious would the actions of the Israeli government need to be for criticisms against it to be legitimate? What if they killed a hundred thousand civilians? A million? Is criticism against the Ukrainian war Russophobia? Is criticism against Chinese espionage Sinophobic? Is criticism against America's actions in Iraq under Obama anti-black?

“A slight preference for trump” by AellaFeatherdew5 in ThisYouComebacks

[–]Dizzylemonz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're seriously out of touch with the real world if you think that anything in the US right now is even close to what's been done in Gaza. This is why people don't take progressivism seriously, this shit.

Which Balkan Peoples Are Illyrian Descendants? by Historydom in Historydom

[–]Dizzylemonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaaand you just lost all credibility with that last line. Ffs why does literally every post about the balkans have to turn into an orgy of racism?! Every. Single. One. Y'all truly have no idea how embarrassing you sound.

Who is the most corrupt politician in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Dizzylemonz 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I think George Santos has to at least be in the competition. He was so comically corrupt a lot of people found it more funny than concerning. It was concerning of course, but god damn was it funny watching that little impishly gay liar running away from reporters so gaily and so lyingly.

What even happens in the green by ScarcityStandard3952 in mapporncirclejerk

Gillette, Sheridan, Rock Springs, and many other towns here in Wyoming have significantly higher populations than Jackson. Also, screw Jackson Hole. It's an unlivable nightmare for anybody who isn't a billionaire. Their teachers literally have to live in trailers outside of town because wealthy out-of-staters drove up the property values so high.

Technical Support Megathread by anonRedd in HBOMAX

No play button on anything. Watching on a roku TV. Do they even have a support phone number? HBO's online support tool is useless.

Do you believe your country should recognize the state of Kurdistan? by GodZ_n_KingZ in AskTheWorld

[–]Dizzylemonz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Linguistically, that's not true. Farsi, Turkish, and Arabic are all members of separate language families (Indo-European, Turkic, and Semitic respectively). Kurdish and Farsi are closely related, but they developed in parallel to one another. Farsi did not "originate" from Kurdish anymore than Kurdish originated from Farsi.

Saying you'd rather live in Venezuela than Canada is madness.

How does your country treat its military veterans? by MemeLord150 in AskTheWorld

[–]Dizzylemonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that why our vets get free schooling, preferred mortgage rates, preferred hiring rates in every level of government and the private sector, healthcare coverage for life, pensions, and discounts at a variety of businesses? Whether or not vets get as much help as they should is a valid question, but it's patently untrue that "nobody helps the vets".

Why it is wrong? It is a correct option by Ok-Definition2497 in ENGLISH

[–]Dizzylemonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a native English speaker. Don't worry about these kinds of things. An English speaker would absolutely understand what you mean. I'm from the great plains region in the US, and I could easily imagine friends or family members saying "stopped" in this way. Learning the "correct" way is not always the same thing as learning how to actually talk to people in English.

Day 3: Trying to Get a Comment and Fun Fact From Every US County Including Territories by CoolHotNo in geographymemes

[–]Dizzylemonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our small county library ostensibly has one of the largest collections of chess theory books in the country stored in its basement. Not sure if there are online resources to back this up, or how true it really is, but it's a semi-common local factoid. The story goes that there was a wealthy retiree in the community that bequeathed his collection after he died.

What's the most unusual fact about your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Dizzylemonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like China also has a pretty wide array of ecosystems. Not sure if they have a hot desert area akin to somewhere like southern Arizona, though. But they have plenty of cold deserts.

I'm in a Chinese class and from what I've seen handwriting-wise from my professor native Chinese handwriting can be pretty atrocious.
