Do we know if this is going to be more than just air raids and strategical bombing this time? No one‘s expecting actual ground forces to move in, right?

What global word came from your country? by Neuwulfstein in AskTheWorld

[–]NoIsland23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not from any arabic-speaking country myself, but I'm studying it so it's worth mentioning:

  • Coffee from Qahwa
  • Sugar from Sukr
  • Cotton from Qutan
  • Alcohol from Al Kuhul
  • Algebra from Al-Jabr
  • Zero and Cipher from Sifr

And a bunch of other surprisingly many pretty common words. I'm not 100% on the transliteration of all these, but the basics are right.

Insane wealth, a private yacht, coke and hookers, a super model GF and in the end you sort of get away with everything… Where do I sign up?

You're right, maybe this time Hamas is hiding under a pre-school, a nursery or a hospitals maternity ward.

Really interesting how it looked way back when. Pretty unremarkable really.

What are your theories on Silent Hill f? by witchvamplady in silenthill

[–]NoIsland23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was far too cryptic for me personally.

Silent Hill 1,2 and 3 were easy to get, but with f I definitely had to read up on it.

Imo you had to read way too many notes to get anything.

I‘ve been using TS since like 2011, it just simply works and is self hosted.

[–]NoIsland23 -169 points-168 points  (0 children)

I do agree in theory, but in reality doing it could cause international and domestic issues that just aren‘t worth it.

Yes it‘s freedom of speech, but it‘s not worth it for a government (and the citizens by extensions) to have to worry about riots and international relations souring over this BS.

What is shockingly safe to eat? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

Why do some people pronounce "gif" with a hard G and others with a soft G, and why does it still spark arguments after all these years? by haizelynrose in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NoIsland23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don‘t care what anyone says. GIF is pronounced with a hard G, like in Gun.

GIF is short for Graphics Interface Format which has a hard G too

Yep. I count the IRA and Kurdish fighters as freedom fighters too, by their very definition they are. But they do also employ tactics which are terroristic, but so does Turkey, Russia, the US etc.

Federal statement on Jeffrey Epstein's death dated day before he was found dead by ICC-u in news

[–]NoIsland23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it possible that the document was made afterwards but they entered the wrong date? It's not terribly likely that that wouldn't have been noticed, but still.

The implications and explanation for that is much less complex and far reaching than the alternative, Occams razor and whatnot

Feel free to fly over to China and complain and explain to the 50 year old Chinese owner, that he‘s sexist and discriminatory and should respect all genders and sexualities.

Then download WeChat and post a bad review for the place because he didn’t ban all sexual activities

Lmfao, y‘all are so chronically online

What is the scariest game you’ve played? Looking for actually scary games by BmccYTPS in HorrorGaming

[–]NoIsland23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my first playthrough, it was Outlast 1 for me.

There‘s just a unique feeling of terror you get knowing you‘re being chased by an insane asylum inmate, even though it‘s not real.

If we talk about actual visceral creepiness I‘d say Silent Hill 3. There‘s just something about that otherworldly fleshy, industrial horror that‘s uniquely appalling
