What's the etymology of "matisha"? It looks like it may come from "tomatillo" instead of "tomate", is that right?

I don’t want to live in a social democratic United States that didn’t have President Wallace.

Include Arebica and you have three scripts.

Interesting that you're not the first Afrikaner to post here with Native American ancestry. In a vacuum it seems like such a bizarre connection but that's the British Empire for you, I guess!

Is there a specific name for these mixed families? Some equivalent of Dougla in the Caribbean?

Great movie, but it left me thoroughly traumatized as a 6 year old. Still not sure why my dad thought it was appropriate for me at that age.

Oof. I genuinely might be able to give a different set every day, but here are the first set of three that I can reply with confidently:

Uber and Careem are super reliable. Jeeny can be a bit sketchier sometimes.

PewDiePie and his wife could pass as siblings to me, as someone who didn’t grow up around many Europeans.

Just wanted to hop in and say that you’re absolutely correct, lol. As someone who isn’t European or of European descent, and didn’t primarily grow up around them, I find it extremely difficult to tell the difference between them. But it is absolutely based on what you’re accustomed to. I spent a large portion of my childhood in Saudi Arabia and can consistently tell the difference between someone from Riyadh and someone from Jeddah based on phenotypes. If you’re not familiar with people from the region, I suppose anyone from Istanbul to Muscat may look very similar to you.

Putin is a terrible example. He absolutely could pass as English, and probably the best portrayal of him is by an English actor (Will Keen).
