Are you asking if vaccines against viruses could target DNA that was introduced into a human’s cells through a viral infection?

A similar sound exists in Persian, which can elide to the same sound when before certain consonants. Maybe certain accents change due to exposure to Persian. My best advice would be to ask your uni professor specifically.

Do you mean a British English R sound? There are no Arabic dialects that use an American English R sound. In Arabic, if the r has a shadda then there should be a trill. Otherwise it is not necessary to trill.

No, Americans understand ethnic groups just like the rest of the world. Someone who’s Arab would be considered Arab. For census purposes there are other categories because of historical perceptions of ethnicity, but most Americans would be entirely able to comprehend someone being a dark Arab or someone being from Central Asia.

No… not really. They’re considered to be from Eurasia, a region where people have cultural traits from Russia and Eastern Europe, but unless someone is ethnically Russian or German living in Kazakhstan, I would consider them Asian as an American. There can also be mixed race Kazakhs, which, of course, I would call mixed race. It’s really a simple problem, just say you’re from Kazakhstan and explain what that is and either people will ask a few more curious but polite questions and leave it at that, or they’ll be obnoxious and call you white, erasing your actual ethnic identity. The latter is more common with severely undereducated Americans

The same exists all across the former USSR, but they’re even more pervasive there. Dangerous because people don’t wear seatbelts and are stuffed shoulder to shoulder, but it fills a real need in the transport landscape.

Well in the US even if there are sidewalks, often they are not used because in suburbs people simply didn’t walk to many places. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be required though. The first step towards more walkability is to have pre-existing infrastructure even if nobody uses it. In lower-income areas sidewalks are used more though. For an American with easy access to a car, though, most places you want to be are too far to comfortably walk… especially considering the stereotype of Americans being on the heavier side and that Americans are culturally acclimated to be opposed to sweating or being around sweaty people.

I didn’t know. It’s all a huge mess.

I turned it off within the first few seconds. Telling someone “you’re a good person” is cringe and even more so when you’re doing it in bad faith.

That’s an interesting way to look at it. I’m often hopeful for my own city when I consider that there may be a time in the future where things will be “re-developed” to become more dense due to demand. Though where I live it’s more likely that people will just keep expanding out until they reach the next urban center.

I don’t even subscribe to this sub. I was just googling the phrase because I hate the commercial so much and found this post. I hate it too. Not sure exactly why but it’s a mindless visceral hate. Why would someone say those words together?

This post was inspired by listening to a sermon from a pastor that mentioned his ideal version of eternity would be sitting with god in an IKEA-type cafe overlooking his enemies being punished below.

I don’t get it. I don’t see them as an enemy. I’m not a forceful atheist by any means, so it’s like people are going to believe whatever they want, but Christians pitting themselves against (unsuspecting) chosen enemies is psychotic.

Inmates are entitled to healthcare treatment that’s in line with the current best practices for treating conditions. Ivermectin is not and never has been accepted mainstream as a treatment for COVID, and inmates are in a more vulnerable state than the general public because they have no access to choices of medical practitioners, and can be coerced to accepting treatment. This is quite a straightforward situation IMO. We’ll see what the courts say.

Heiroglyphics weren’t pictographs. Different symbols corresponded to sound (“letters”) to systematically spell out words. Their letters just looked like pictures.

I mean… this isn’t something all that surprising is it? Rabat used to be a port city, but now the port is too shallow to take shipments because the river is used for agriculture too heavily. Morocco isn’t completely a desert, but water is still fairly scarce, especially when trying to build out the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The same is happening all over the world. There’s a river that used to flow into Mexico from the US which has been dry for close to decades because of water use in the US.

This should definitely be addressed more seriously, but being caught off guard by this kind of thing is surprising from an outsider’s perspective.

Yeah, I was hesitant about what to say there. It just felt wrong to validate the existence of supernatural creatures in my post, but some people I know certainly believe in demons.

Realization hit me that when Christians preach about their “enemies” they’re referring in part to me.

It’s one thing to ask Moldovans this question.. reunification is strongly supported by some. Ask Romanians the same question though and you’ll get different answers. Romania has enough problems on its own without taking on another chunk of land with different and arguably more serious problems. Just like Germans don’t care to take over Kaliningrad, Romanians don’t truly care to take over Moldova.
