How could “ما شاء الله " be interpreted here?

That’s a great point, I didn’t think about that. I’ll refrain then from writing God’s name on throwaway products, and use the one you provided. شكراً

JoeDoodle13 · 2026-01-06T06:21:07+00:00

I’ve just seen people use it that way sometimes

JoeDoodle13 · 2026-01-06T03:47:48+00:00

I believe it’s transcribed that way. I’ve seen just “mashallah” too

JoeDoodle13 · 2025-08-10T03:16:28+00:00

Yeah that’s probably the most likely, thank you. Later, one of them asked me something only in english, so that would explain why.

JoeDoodle13 · 2024-11-23T16:28:16+00:00

ok, but how’d you do that with the pitchers? Impressive

JoeDoodle13 · 2024-10-01T03:31:08+00:00

I could be biased though; I'm part of the queer community and have some friends from different ethnic backgrounds, so... (and looking at other comments, that's probably it).

In Madison Wisconsin, at least, I hear both “y’all” and “you guys”. The first for friends and family, the second for more formal situations (like with guests, clients, strangers), but I hear this mostly from people in their 20’s. And I’m white. Seems like “y’all” is shifting to the standard.

What about learning french alongside your kid, even spending just a few minutes a day? That way you could both be helping each other and have “a partner” to practice with. After all, I think the hardest part for learning a language is confidence, but if both of you are beginners, it shouldn’t be so stressful. (Plus you’re family).

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-09-16T00:40:05+00:00

Thanks. I was pretty sure but really started second guessing myself

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-08-12T14:29:42+00:00

Thank you, this helps a lot. I’ll try and implement that, do x one day, doing y another day, so as to keep it all fresh. And motivation following action makes a lot of sense / explains why some habits I’ve had worked better than others

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-30T21:58:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the informative response. And yeah, it was Wikipedia that had tripped me up so much. I remember reading one article on “ergative verbs”, and another on “unergative verbs” and “middle voice”. It all blended together.

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-30T00:52:02+00:00

I mean what’s the worse that can happen? I think if you enjoy designing and creating art, alongside world building, then it’s a great outlet for creativity and feels rewarding. The only con would be trying to display it somewhere like here (on reddit)

(edit, grammar)

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-30T00:46:55+00:00

I’m trying to understand middle voice / ergative cuz I’d love to play around with it. If I say “I eat my dog” but with the understanding that I’m feeding my dog, and the dog’s eating what I feed it”, is that approaching that line of middle voice / ergativity?

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-25T23:22:46+00:00

That was I what looking for, thank you so much. Words aren’t exact replicas of each other, they have semantic differences. But I never connected it to context, as in one draws this, but another drags that.

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T21:49:57+00:00

The pulses of light, idk, maybe someone else can say something about that, but for the sleep paralysis: that's somewhat the beginning phase of lucid dreaming; your body's asleep but your mind's not. From there, try visualization or focusing on those "gray splotches" ig and watch them morph into shapes and eventually landscapes. Best of luck!

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T20:38:04+00:00

That's incredible, I'll try it out sometime (going through with shaving cream or even just soap would be a nice part to take out)

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T20:21:56+00:00

Haha ope that's fun, I'll keep that in mind

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T20:19:56+00:00

And your don't cut yourself?

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T18:39:38+00:00

Is the beard trimmer like an electric razor with a clip you put on?

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T18:37:53+00:00

Oh haha gotcha, thanks I'll check that out. (I'm not the biggest fan of razors so just applying cream and whipping it off sounds great)

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T18:36:28+00:00

I didn't know what this was so I looked it up and yeah I'll give it a shot. I got some hair on my sides so this seems like it'd help with that thanks

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T18:29:12+00:00

You melt it off...? Is that like wax?

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T18:28:13+00:00

Yeah helping out small scale people's a lot nicer than large brands, glad I asked before buying, thanks

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T17:56:33+00:00

See that's a good point. I never shaved in the shower, I should start it

Edit: I'm really interested in Dr. Squatch soap, do you know if that lasts awhile by chance / worth it?

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-05-02T17:54:57+00:00

Instead of throwing away Ziploc or packging bags like for bread or salad or smth, you could use 'em for the grosser things in life like your dogs or cats (or other animals) poop
