  Oh so that’s what rhotic means. But yeah the only consonant sound that Japanese has that isn’t followed by a vowel is ん, which makes an “n” sound (though is often used for any “m” sounds preceding other consonants in loanwords). Although the “u” sound is often unvoiced, so usually what they do is use the letter in which the necessary consonant is followed by an “u”. For example く, す, つ, ぬ, ふ, む, ゆ, る as well as ぐ, ず, ぶ, and ぷ. So yeah, “hanbaagaa” is a lot better than “hamuburuguru” which w...

  I think you meant false equivalence. A false dichotomy presents two options as if they are the only choices available when in reality there are other options. A false equivalence draws a comparison between two things that are actually disparate. I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you or the person you replied to. Just letting you know the correct term for what you described.

  > Those imbalances are claimed to be caused by poor nutrition and exposure to environmental toxins and stressors. (In his book, Kennedy erroneously labels this as “miasma theory,” but that is a different theory that suggests diseases derive from breathing bad air, vapors, or mists from decaying or corrupting matter. I mean, let's not pretend that poor nutrition, environmental toxins and stressors, polluted air, and volatile gases *don't* contribute to disease. Some diseases are bact...

  I imagine that the abyss is like a mirror, and when you stare into it long enough you realize that you're staring into yourself; hence, you the abyss is staring back into you the sub-conscience projection of self-entity.

  It was treason to launch an insurrection against the United States on January 1st, 2021. It was treason to send the US to war in Iran, unauthorized by Congress, spending US taxpayer dollars, depleting US munitions stockpiles, throwing away US lives, alienating US allies, ruining US strategic defense posture, devastating US soft power, and tanking the US economy. These are only ***some*** of the examples of treason Donny has committed. The full list would be much longer.

  Most of them look like they honestly don't give a shit. I see one guy who looks enthused. Also, "No Kings" means "The United States of America has no kings." It bears no relevance to our diplomatic relations with monarchical states.

  More programmers for tech co-ops and open-source projects. I mean sure, it won't cover these people's mortgages or probably even healthcare. That sucks, it really does. But let's starve big tech of the expertise that they so obviously disdain, and contribute our time and energy to building better alternatives.

  Not to mention from a human rights perspective, it's not just easier to obtain sodium than lithium but also more humane. There is an industry for ethically-sourced materials, and even if this doesn't completely replace lithium it can still significantly reduce the amount needed to meet demand, which can also encourage more ethical practices in that supply chain too, such as sourcing it from areas with stronger labor laws.
