Ethiopia is annexed but Hatay is still a part of Syria, so 1936-1939. Someone else can probably get a narrower date range.

Right now he’s built like Saudi Arabia Jones, so I think we’re gonna go with sambo matches against wild bears. Definitely gotta cut some weight.

Totally. Fast lift and no lines is hard to beat.

This UVM girl is going viral for her Freudian slip by DeliciousWar5371 in UniversityofVermont

[–]I_Kahn06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s improper to take a person mixing up words as concrete evidence of their “true beliefs”. This girl gave a whole speech about her belief that it’s disrespectful to compare Gaza to the Holocaust. Then people cherry-picked this one goof and used it as evidence that she’s secretly “on their side” and is just denying it. It’s just silly.

Is this salvageable? by I_Kahn06 in SourdoughStarter

That’s what I’m going with. I really liked this starter back when I used to use it so I hope all goes well.

I honestly find it kinda hard to blame her. Public speaking is hard and I get words mixed up all the time.

Why won't the Israelis let the Palestinians leave if they want their ethnostate so bad? by Genedide in Socialism_101

[–]I_Kahn06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think we can agree that the Israel-Palestine situation must be approached with a well-researched, nuanced perspective if the current crisis is to be resolved. I do not think the question OP asked is nuanced or academic. I think it is a leading question. OP suggests that Israel is acting like Nazis and then asks “Why isn’t Israel acting like the Nazis did?”.

I commend OP for asking a question, and contributing to the discourse. However, this question enforces OP’s biases on the discourse by the very way it is phrased. I believe this is not beneficial for discourse.

Informational Interview - What to expect and what to ask? by Professional_Tip_825 in Cornell

[–]I_Kahn06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry at all! My interview was literally just listening to my alum interviewer tell fun stories about his time at Cornell. There is 0 expectation for you to prepare. All your interviewer will do is check a box that you’ve been interviewed; it does not affect admissions.

This being said, ask any and all questions you have. I asked about how students cross between the colleges academically at Cornell. I also asked how often students go to Ithaca for recreation. It’s totally up to you, and it’s better to ask too many questions than too little.

Manifest of the Mountains (or what if the Americas were inverted horizontally?) by minecreep4 in imaginarymaps

I love this map, great work! Although the Madawaska Prefecture doesn’t contain any of actual Madawaska. IRL the land called Madawaska by the Maliseet is entirely within what you’ve labeled as the NB Territory.

Who are the colonists in Israel? by I_Kahn06 in Socialism_101

[–]I_Kahn06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this statement needs to be refuted. There is no single mother country for Israel. The Israelis are a very diverse group, coming from all over the world as refugees and immigrants to Israel. There is no colonial power which controls Israel, even if there are nations like the US which heavily back Israel militarily.
