  • My favorite song is 500 Miles by Peter, Paul & Mary, and everyone thinks I’m talking about the Proclaimers version unless I specify, so I think it’s pretty well known.

  • Death toll from heat at hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia passes 900

  • That’s fair, sorry. There’s going to be unintended consequences if agreeable, optimistic people are suddenly gone from the population, which the original removed comment starting this thread suggested wasn’t an issue.

  • There’s going to be unintended consequences if you intentionally get rid of agreeable, optimistic people.

  • You see how a lack of scientific reporting on the subject makes it less likely that you find more examples, right?

  • It’s not really easy for us to tell who’s useful for society, even less so if you want to be even a little bit objective. If your metric is intelligence, that’s not a good one (depression, substance use disorder, and many other things that don’t make for a super happy or functional person are correlated with intelligence).

  • Eh, they were trying to be helpful. They shouldn’t feel embarrassed about it, it’s a good thing to do.

    Also I would not have made the urine-IP address connection without that comment, I just thought they were rambling into nonsense.

  • Is there a native Portuguese speaker in the child’s life? Otherwise it’s a little dicey, because they’ll inherit your errors, but if you’re really careful about it and flood them with Portuguese language input from native speakers in the form of songs and audiobooks that you can read along with in person, you can still give them a good linguistic foundation.

  • My dad swears up and down that antifa are the real nazis. I think this would be a response to that type of thing.

  • Al Jazeera journalist, physician father, held Noa Argamani hostage, Palestinians say

    Jump

  • I have no idea if they decided to write the article in a biased way, but I don’t know if that matters. The people reading it still associate the article with “baseless claims,” which colors their view.

  • Al Jazeera journalist, physician father, held Noa Argamani hostage, Palestinians say

    Jump

  • No, it’s the word choice in the sentence as a whole. “Baseless claims” and “categorically denied” make it seem like the article was nonsense. “Controversy” acknowledges that there are different accounts of what happened, but doesn’t pick a side and “denied” feels like the most neutral choice to me, but I’m a layperson and there are entire classes in journalism programs dedicated to neutral phrasing. Calling the article “insightful journalism” is obviously biased and saying “continues to deny” sounds even more supportive of the journalist’s claims, because it implies that people are continuously asking Israel about it, which further implies that multiple people are unsatisfied with Israel’s account of the events.

  • Al Jazeera journalist, physician father, held Noa Argamani hostage, Palestinians say

    Jump

  • The article included baseless claims such as capturing soldiers in Jabaliya, which the IDF categorically denied.

    This is a sentence from the article. If they were neutral towards the subject, they might have written it like this:

    controversy surrounded the article, which described the IDF capturing soldiers in Jabaliya, something the Israeli government has denied.

    If they were active supporters, it might have sounded like this:

    his insightful journalistic work exposed the IDF’s capture of soldiers in Jabaliya, which they continue to deny.

  • I don’t pronounce that in my dialect, so I intentionally don’t write it in informal situations. The loss of American dialects in favor of TV English is a tragedy, in my opinion, so I try to keep mine alive :)
