I think the short answer is that we all speak “Latin” and the various empires, especially Roman, spread cultural concepts across Europe that would be durable for some degree for centuries.

Counterpoint, there are also plenty of false cognates between any given European languages.

There is also convergence, as another commentor pointed out. If something is invented in the US in 1970, or introduced to the US in 1970, there’s a good chance people aren’t going to give it a name in their language: they will just call it what it was called to them.

I don’t think “loan words” explain your example, but you can imagine that if what is now Spain and France had the same rulers, they’d develop similar legal culture later on, and then if France conquered what is now England, that eventually English would inehrit specific quirks common to Spanish

Step 1: Status quo immigration

Step 2: loosening child labor laws and the regulatory state

Step 3:???

Step 4: capitalism has now captured a new second class to extract this resource! Profit!

It’s for emphasis

It turns out free speech has been limited on campuses after all!

He wasn’t even revealing the gender of his future child?? What a waste

The only times I ever deliver is when I cannot pick up. At work? Playing dnd? Then the delivery fee is almost worth it.

Otherwise we eat a frozen pizza or pick the food up ourselves.

The media won’t give you “an answer”. Is a war like a board game where everyone can see the pieces and count the score according to the rules? What is Russia objective? Idk. Are they meeting it? Sure, to some degree. At what cost? We’ll we only have a small sense of the costs.

Is Ukraine “winning”? Well they have lost so much but not everything. Are they meeting their objectives? We’ll their state didn’t fall. That’s good.

And you just want some OP ED at NYT to just sum it up like it’s a football game?

Wake me up when we are posting Hyperdrive memes

Eve 6 is not some sort of ideological juggernaut nor a policy maker. Just because the band thinks Israel “did” the attack on themselves, doesn’t make them literally QAnon

Yes some people are losing their minds about this, but you have to agree Isreal has had all the cards here the whole time and should be the bigger guy. But no. That won’t happen.

It’s short for gasoline, which is the term for refined petroleum.

Inflation has doubled since 1999 so I’m not sure what your point is

He’s still under indictment

Oh OK, hubris of the jedi over here

This is exactly what happens in The Boys too

Spoilers for the first few seasons: the righteous non supers find drugs to give themselves superheroes so they can battle the corrupt super heroes. Yes, this cheat code to power begins to corrupt them too.

Further, the super hero Council and corporation works hard to replace the roles the military covers. They then become an unaccountable shadow agency that the people want to keep doing the work of the government… But then democracy is slipping away.

Trump has all the weaknesses of an incumbent and few of the benefits. I knew some people who tried to play very agnostic about his record in 2016, but now as in 2020, the American people have a record to judge him on. And it’s not very pretty. Biden is going to start laying into that record. And soon the negative polarization will build back up, after the GOP decides who exactly the are with their candidate chosen.

Consequences aren’t the only thing that cause people to act they way they act. It’s certainly one reason some people don’t do certain things.

One reason Homelander is the way he is is because how he was raised. If tomorrow I got all Homelander’s powers, I wouldn’t instantly become a psychopath. I mean it might occur to me that any action I might take, and no one could stop me or punish me. But as Homelander observed (at least in the prior season, I’m not entirely caught up) that alienation from his fellow supers is actually a consequence he deals with.

If in 1800s Europe Marx lived a “bohemian” lifestyle, it makes me wonder why that word means what it means. Are they calling him avante garde and possibly lazy, as compared to stereotypes of the Roma people?

What town did they match you with?

Oof
