I got YDId out of YPTB 😔

Haha, i don’t recall discussing too much about stuff like this when you were active on matrix :p Either way, glad to hear it :D

By the way, how’s your hand now? Hope you’re doing better now

😊 Just glad i got to talk about it lol

Good pun, but i can’t help myself:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/اسلام_آباد#Urdu

اسلام اباد in urdu, literally translates to “Islamic area”

The اسلام (Isla:m) part comes from… the arabic word, duh lol

The اباد (a:ba:d) part comes from the PIE root *peh₂-, descending from middle/classical persian and then urdu.

The root just means “to protect, ward or shepherd” which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The persian words mean thriving/populous (so does urdu).

There are also many derived (and recognized) words from it: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/peh₂-#Derived_terms Is pretty interesting to look at.

Do note it’s not like i really know too much of what i’m talking about, i just love this stuff.

I’m not a big fan of them, but Jordan clearly isn’t doing this for “security and stability”. that’s what all Arab monarchs say, and every single time: they lie.

That’s just how the middle east works. Puppet leaders shilling for Zionism to secure western interests in the region. All our ““leaders”” fucking suck.

Can’t wait till we get actually good leaders. Not puppets or islamists.

It’s happened to me before. It was a real account, too (i can’t remember the username but it was some ML account). I would’ve banned/reported them but i deleted my old account anyway in favor of this one.

edit: Found them, it was moe93@lemmy.ml. I guess they’re a real account, not too active but was still ban-worthy. Oh well, it was some time ago so no point in doing anything abt it lol.

Why did you post this here?

Wdym? Of course everyone named jesus here is white, blond and blue-eyed. Don’t you know how the middle east works?

I never kuwait had the strongest currency in the world. in saudi it’s the opposite for us lol, 3.75 = 1 USD. I also love how the banknote looks :^)

Thanks :)

I’m confused. Can this be explained?

Sed audisne?

Video est verbum latinum

I in fact, do know and most [non-gulf] arabs hate them too. I was talking about most conflicts (sudan, gaza, war on terror, etc) in general, not just this one.

I edited the original comment to include the gulf states, too. My original point still stands, though.

Don’t worry, i hate the ottomans too lol. Religious countries and others that are fueled by their greed of power are a disease. Secularism has been very slowly rising in the middle east for decades, but these attacks and terror only regress.

But ultimately, secular terror vs religious terror… it’s ultimately a lose lose situation. I will hate every country that causes these levels of suffering, no matter if they are atheist or not.

Maybe we’ll live to see secularism and peace in the middle east, maybe not. It’s coming, just nobody knows when.

Arabs [including I] hate western powers/gulf countries due to them interfering for their own interests and causing everyone else to suffer, but if they literally just stopped most people wouldn’t hate them. Apparently, that’s too high a goal for them. 🙄

Wdym? of course the west is siding with Israel to gain regional power for the good of everyone! After all, there’s nothing better than siding with the only apartheid democracy in the middle east and their greatest allies!

Those ungrateful palestinians should be proud that they’re being civilized by the free world! /s

kills civilians

radicalizes them more

why is the middle east full of terrorists???

Obviously fuck the houthis, but especially fuck saudi/US and all the other forces bombing and making the innocent civilians suffer.

Fuck the foreign powers intervening ““for the good of the people”” (to secure their own interests, actually.) we’d be much better off without them. We need aid not bombs.

What?

Fwiw https://red.ngn.tf/ seems to be stable enough for me. Still has downtime tho.
