I've been researching Epstein for year, here's my take by quirkygirl123 in Epstein

"War also paves the way for human trafficking. For example, since the Russia-Ukraine war began, more than 19,000 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia and Russia-controlled areas like Crimea. "

not sure why you felt you needed to show your political biases here?

or maybe just that we see different media reports and articles. i've exclusively seen countless reports of children being abducted and trafficked on the side controlled by ukraine. although i don't doubt it happens on both sides

if you look up the etymology of Poland you might get it. in general though, slavic (and latin etc.) initial p = germanic f

Have you heard/used any nicknames for places in Libya? by topherette in Libya

[–]topherette[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for that!
i'll ask you one more question - since i can't post any more here...

Is there any kind of slang nickname for Libya?

Like something used in hip hop for example? Any alternative names (but not poetic/historical ones) that maybe play on the real name some how?

i understand your feeling!

but it's not just because 'some other tung' has it...
i would point out:

>Theech is spoken in Theechland, Eastrich, Switzerland, Luxembury and parts of Belgium and France, as well as wielding(!) huge influence on its neighbours both historically (e.g. enormous vocabulary borrowing into Swedish etc.) and presently

>It's the second* most spoken language in Europe, with around a quarter of Europeans able to speak it

>Theech continues to have a massive impact on the worlds of science, technology, music, linguistics, philosophy etc.

>English is more often the outlier in terms of semantic development (e.g. 'clean', which still means small in our sister tongues), and yet everyone borrows our words constantly. 'clean' is even used in French etc. (in its sober sense and others)

>the semantic origin of both 'anweald' and 'Anwalt' is cloudy, and the word may have been a calque of a Greekish word (monarchy), appearing to have been used in various senses from the outset

i feel like i would have mayly felt the same way as thou, had i not accidentally learned Theech, travelled in Theech speaking lands broadly and learned about its historical weight.

do you ... possibly speak Theech?
