  • How about you repay some of the privilege given to you by both regimes theft of less worthy people’s resources and actually contribue to changing your homes for the better.

    People used to be refugees from persecution, not from responsibility.

    Anyway, you might be welcome in Hungary and probably India. Perth in Australia would work but you’d have to be white-passing to fit in with all the white South African post-apartheid refugees.

    It sounds like you have a teaching degree which is a very country-specific qualification that is almost useless in other countries beyond maybe teaching English to American-occupied countries like Korea and Thailand.

    Do you have any other skills with which to apply from abroad or do you expect to show up to a country and just be handed a visa and job? Which European countries did your grandparents colonise Palestine from? If you can get passports for those, you will at least have a right to be there.


  • As as to be said somehow literally every time these headlines are published, nominations for any Nobel prize are kept secret and announcing that you’ve submitted a nomination if anything makes them less likely to be accepted as it harms the nomination by harming the image of the nominator. Anyone can say they’ve nominated anyone for a Nobel Peace Prize and they can’t be proven or disproven for 50 years.

    Oh and “Pakistan” can’t nominate anyone for a Nobel Prize. All you need to be a nominator for the Nobel Peace Prize is to be an elected official or a university professor, but you do have to be a person. The likely of a headline not bothering to distinguish between a person and their 250 million people nation seems to increase linearly with distance east from the Greenwich meridian.

    Please remember this when that Norwegian ‘scientist’ nominations Trump or Elon or whoever in October like he does every year.





  • People are answering your headline but not understanding your question; the two aren’t as linked as they would be in French.

    All of these are valid:

    • I went to a Moscow school
    • I went to a school in Moscow
    • I went to a Versaille cafe
    • I went to a cafe in Versaille.
    • I dated a London girl
    • I dated a girl from London

    These sound more natural than the following:

    • I went to a Muscovite school
    • I went to a Versaillian cafe (People have been giving you the direct French for Versaillais, but English wouldn’t use fhat)
    • I dated a Londoner girl.

    At least for Muscovite, it retains the implication that the school is for people from Moscow, rather than the school being in Moscow. You could have a Muscovite school in London. You could have a Versaillian cafe in Osaka.

    You can see this a lot more often in religion, eg. I went to a Presbyterian school - I went to a school for Presbyterians.

    The point of the meme is the experience of witnessing the unique rate of progress in game engines, not the variety. There’s definitely more variety now than ever before, if you go looking for it l, and I say that as a 40 year old curmudgeon.
