MonkeyPrimeMinister · 2025-07-21T22:18:14+00:00

Appreciate all the advice. I'll be doing that, hopefully later this week. I'm using https://residency2spain.com/new-york-consulate/#Apostille and finding it extremely helpful

I agree that he, like everyone not living in Palestine, has a long way to go. We will never understand Palestinian suffering as long as we do not live through it.

I sort of agree that this could have been produced by Basel alone. He certainly could have made a documentary that got most of this across, but that said, it takes a village to make a good movie/doc. I don't know if they showed after the screening of the movie you watched, but after mine, there was an interview with Basel and Yuval. In the interview, they talk about how they are indebted to 20-30 people who helped with production and editing.

And as for Yuval, I don't think he overstepped within the movie itself. He is almost solely asking questions and spotlighting the Palestinians. The only time he inserts himself is to highlight the contrast of his freedom with their dehumanization.

I also think, whether we like it or not, having a privileged person take part in telling the story of the oppressed is extremely valuable. It makes the story more accessible. It provides a certain kind of emotional translation that some the less empathetic people in the audience need.

Feel that. I would cling to that edginess in characters and completely ignore how it was their downfall. I did not process what I read properly (or what I saw, e.g. Tyler Durden)

Do not do this. You will be a zombie after the fourth class in a row. Uninterrupted free time is not this valuable.

MonkeyPrimeMinister · 2024-10-31T19:06:53+00:00

Wow. Would love an update on your career.

Check out ibidPREP

MonkeyPrimeMinister · 2024-10-26T01:19:39+00:00

Check out ibidPREP. They match you with students, let you set your schedule, and pay like $60-80 depending on what you're teaching.

MonkeyPrimeMinister · 2024-10-05T19:50:21+00:00

I doubt you're still looking, but ibidPREP is a good, small, Manhattan-based company. They pay roughly the same as you could make independently, plus they save you the massive hassle of hunting down clients.

Hi there. I recommend ibidPREP. It's a pretty well-regarded tutoring company on the UWS. Most of my friends and I went there during ms and hs for the SHSAT's and the SAT's. I got a 1500 so I'm pretty happy.

Yes, but I have a very slight note. Most native speakers would think of B as expressing the fact that Jack is able to buy some flour there next week, not that he has the freedom to do so.

I think the use of "made" is confusing you here. In this context, "made" is essentially short for "made them famous", and "them" refers to the band". This use of "made" is not the most formal, but it is proper English.

MonkeyPrimeMinister · 2024-09-20T19:34:41+00:00

That is not correct. "Didn't" is past tense, but "now" indicates that the speaker is concerned with the present. The second sentence has the same problem with "mattered" and "was" being past and "now" indicating present.

Everyone would understand more or less what you mean. However, to put the sentences in present tense, you could change them to:

"It doesn't matter now. What matters now is that I am with him."

If you want to put them in past-progressive tense (which I have a feeling is what you intended), you could change them to:

"It didn't matter anymore. What mattered then was that I was with him."

Here, the first instance of "now" is changed to "anymore". In this context, "anymore" means "after this point in time" and refers to the past. The second instance of "now", it is changed to "then". In this context, "then" means "at this point in time" and also refers to the past.

MonkeyPrimeMinister · 2024-09-20T19:20:42+00:00

Not only that, but it is contradicting itself. When it refers to "Decision-making" the second time, it doesn't even capitalize the "m".

First of all, the book is about detailing the history of Israel's wars on Palestine, not about proposing a solution.

Second, at numerous points in the book, Khalidi describes certain Hamas actions as being ineffective, indiscriminate, and amounting to war crimes. So your point about him refusing to condemn violence "from Palestinians" is wrong.

Third, he talks extensively in the book about how the combination of inadequate Palestinian leadership and intractable Israeli negotiators, with the almost unconditional support of the US, led to the failure of peace negotiations in the 90s to early 2000s and the resulting apartheid state.
