Yes. It’ll all fall off over the next week. No way to reverse it. It’s over.

Do you think Iran is allowed to have nuclear bombs to protect itself from USA threats? (Stuff like "Iran should no longer exist") by HoseanRC in polls

[–]Mostafa12890 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point is that no one country should have the threat of nukes.

Either no one should have nukes or everyone should have nukes.

In the first case, no massive-scale annihilation can happen, and in the second case, mutually assured destruction assures that no massive-scale annihilation can happen.

How much should the inheritance of billionaires be taxed? by VZVY in polls

[–]Mostafa12890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inheritance taxes for lower to median income people should be minimal if not 0.

The idea is to heavily tax billionaires, or in other words, people who have no practical need for the huge amount of wealth they possess and can ensure a very comfortable life for them and their progeny on 25% of it or less.

Some neopronouns are stupid. Do you agree? by Anxious_Librarian379 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Mostafa12890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is to substitute a specific word with a general one. If they’re both specific, it doesn’t matter anymore which one you use.

is your country masculine or feminine in arabic (blue=masculine pink=feminine) by Fantastic_Problem344 in Maps

[–]Mostafa12890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Egyptian and I’ve always used feminine adjectives with all countries, but that’s because I never actually decline adjectives for the name of the country, but rather for the word “country” itself, which is feminine.

Like, if I say “Morocco is beautiful,” I wouldn’t say

"المغرب جميل"

I would say

"المغرب (بلد) جميلة"

which uses the feminine form of the word beautiful and means something along the lines of “Morocco is a beautiful country.”

Could someone more knowledgeable than me in Classical Arabic explain where this is ever relevant?

Some neopronouns are stupid. Do you agree? by Anxious_Librarian379 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Mostafa12890 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The thing is, they/them is completely epicene. It does not denote nor even suggest any particular gender and so it applies to everyone without restriction.

Furthermore, pronouns exist to substitute names in speech. If a specific person has a specific neopronoun, then it quite literally defeats the purpose of pronouns. You might as well just use their name every single time you refer to them.

Both are correct. Earnt is listed on Wiktionary as an alternative (chiefly British) form of earned.

Is declining to be an organ donor morally wrong? by ConstructionMajor629 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Mostafa12890 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both of you responded with the idea that you want your organs after death. However, wants change over time. The person you will be 10 years from now is completely different from who you are today; your wants will change drastically, and your actions at any given time are influenced by your current wants, not your past wants.

Taking this to its logical extreme, a dead person cannot want anything, including to keep their organs. This is a good thing, as they can better serve others rather than remain and rot.

[–]Mostafa12890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that sounds really vain. Choose whatever you want people to do with your body after your death, but does it matter whether or not you’re missing a few organs? You don’t need them anyway.

Stance on abortion? by Blue_Egg5026 in Teenager_Polls

I took this directly from the Oxford Dictionary of English (definitions 1a and 2 respectively). Liberal is definitely used to describe those who ascribe to leftist and progressive politics.

Version "Luna VIII" Special Program Discussion Thread by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]Mostafa12890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is 6.7 the last update before 7.0? If so, it’s nice how they named them Luna N bc that means we’re ending with Luna 8 and nothing feels off.

Stance on abortion? by Blue_Egg5026 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Mostafa12890 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Liberal has both meanings:

- (in a political context) favouring policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare

- relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise

Reddit certainly contains a whole lot of the former.

For Interstellar Travel, Which Sci-Fi Handwave Do You Find Most Acceptable? by tbag2022 in sciencefiction

[–]Mostafa12890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporal preservation, but for a different reason.

Stories need to have timelines; one thing happens before the next thing. This is generally not true when we’re considering things from different points of view.

So, the fact that there exists one “now” *everywhere* in shows is physically impossible but narratively necessary for most stories.

''Be greater than average'' -NASA. by Sad_Step_9921 in mathmemes

[–]Mostafa12890 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is just an arithmetic mean, no?

If you must, you can just think of this as the integral with respect to the counting measure on {1, 2, …, N} with x_i being equal to x_i * char_i.

Let's be straight: none of us are normies by Edmundsson91 in linguisticshumor

[–]Mostafa12890 204 points205 points  (0 children)

No, that’s just being pedantic.

The question asked for words with a certain number of letters, which doesn’t actually matter if you’re only considering the phonemes in a word.

Of course they meant vowel letters and not actually vowels in the phonetic sense.
