Downvoted for the title. Not sure what kind of mouth breather trend that is, but it’s not lasting
Is a fucked up sense of outrage supposed to make you look internet cool? Hey check me out, I’m acting more concerned about something stupid the OP did than I am about the alarming content they just shared, isn’t my personality so edgy?
And announcing your downvote, you’re like the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde over there.
It’s not a trend. The way you and drag are speaking is the trend. Phlubbadubba is speaking Old English. You’re right, though, it didn’t last.
The conversation I had with drag before about drag’s reasons for speaking this way shifted my perspective enough that Phlubbadubba’s use of Old English doesn’t bother me the way it probably would have before. I understood drag, but seeing how negatively people are responding to a tiny bit of Old English makes me appreciate drag. Keep it up.
I remember a person on Reddit using this.
þ- th sounding /θ/ (think)
ð- th sounding /ð/ (the)
As to why… I hope OP tells us.
I support.
Æsþetically it looks dense & unique like ð rare, sunderly dental fricative sounds English makes. “ð” isn’t historic since Old English really didn’t boðer ƿiþ separating voiced vs. unvoiced dental, but ðat’s okay since our broðers up norþ in Iceland use ðese 2 characters in ð manner you prescribe. I like ð mirroring a as ð single-character definite vs. indefinite article too. As someone around ESL (English as a second language) speakers, it can help ðem not only knoƿ hƿich sound to make hƿile preventing silly slip-ups like former US president Donald Trump saying Þighland instead of Thailand—but it ƿould be obvious if our ƿritten form ƿasn’t forced to drop þorn for overloading “y” or “th” for ð printing press’ limitations not built for our tongue.
Before computers or printing presses, ƿe didn’t have spellcheck—so folks spelled ƿords as ðey sound. Having less digraphs favoring more single characters is considered more ergonomic; Dvorak, ð keyboard layout, has “ht” on the home roƿ of ð dominant hand to shoƿ just hoƿ dominant ðis digraph truly is for typing English.
I think It was common in middle English to omit the ‘e’, leaving it to context for the reader to infer the meaning. I see this in alot of shorthand and other alphabets like Shavian.
I’ve seen them explain it elsewhere. As i recall, they liked the reaction it got, and do it for that.
Is Biden too stupid to realize that helping Bibi helps trump? Or does he just not care because supporting genocide is more important to him than the election?
I think the most reasonable assumption would be that the Democrats reckon that coming out against Israel will lose them more zionist votes then sticking with Israel will lose them anti-genocide votes. And given the amount of money AIPAC has been throwing around against anti-zionist candidates in primaries, that might not be an incorrect reckoning.
Which means they’ve made the calculation that they don’t need or want the anti-genocide vote.
So don’t blame this anti-genocide voter for not voting for a candidate that doesn’t want me.
And in doing so, you are hanging out to dry LGBTQ+, women, racial minorities, anyone working for minimum wage, anyone with health insurance, thousands of federal employees, the people of Ukraine, and when it really comes down to it, the people of Gaza.
There is no anti-genocide option on the table. Not in any meaningful way. It’s not a real choice at all, to be honest, but the direction is clear.
Will Dems hold Bibi accountable?
Oh they won’t?
Worse than same.
worse than the same? this must be a mental lapse or just bad faith. I mean I would totally understand “not enough” but “worse than the same”? Are you living in a parallel universe? The moment Trump is elected you will start seeing people rallying for more support to Israel and probably sending American troops over there.
"Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob from prison!
Vote Sideshow Bob."
I’m not supporting Trump, I’m wondering why Israel is so central to democratic policy when they have literally done everything in their power to elect Trump?
I can’t imagine anything besides corruption or kompromat at this point. Literally nothing else makes sense.
I’m not supporting Trump
That comment you made above is supporting Trump. You saying you’re not supporting him makes no difference.
It is old geopolitics.
Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc. benefit greatly from doing things the way the US likes. They make massive amounts of money, get a massive military to keep enemies at bay, they get to keep deciding how much crude oil costs, and they get massive amounts of weapons. In return they all spy for the US, allow the US to put massive military facilities in their countries, and protect the petrodollar.
It is that simple. The Palestinians have very little wealth, military, and political clout. So they get run over by the machine. Is it horrific? Yes. Is it easy to understand? Also, yes.
Damn, Trump must be making Biden and Harris give unequivocal support to Netanyahu’s genocide too! The conspiracy goes deeper than I thought.
White American College Socialists have NO RIGHT to call ðemselves allies to my people while ðey fight like ðeir life depended on it to go unjudged for ðeir consistent and strident efforts to assist ð cause of ðis genocidal bastard who has now blasted out on live TV he is actively hindering ð effort to stop ð bleeding because Israel knows who will be more amicable to ðeir efforts to continue ð genocide.
Ðere is no excuse to hide behind any longer. To defend letting Trump win, be it by þird party voting, be it by not voting at all, be it by being ð ultimate accelerationist copium inhaler and voting Trump directly, is to actively sanction ð continued and accelerated genocide of ð Palestinian people, among countless oðers.
Vote for Harris, or be counted wið ð rest of ð collaborationists when ð people who actually need revolution rise up against your mess and begin instituting justice.
Ð cause of ð Palestinian people is singular, wherever in ð world we walk. To support ðis man and his allies among ð genociders is to march against our cause.
Our cause: Bedna N3aesh. We Want To Live.
Borrowed from oðer writing reforms in which ð equivalent letter is also shorthanded for “the”
I have a whole load of ðem, but stick to just using ð and þ because ð prescriptivists would never shut up if I brought out ð whole bag of fun.
You don’t feel like bringing a massively distracting schtick to a political post detracts from your point? Trump is openly rætfuçking the election, lóók at mï!
