  • I am someone who should have found a way to legal status through those means by the time when I went to college circa mid 2000s... I am lucky that I found other means, which were pure circumstantial luck... Kids' livelihood should not be dependent on dumb luck ... PS.: my "dumb luck" required an American citizen ally and a shitload of money I got through student loans I am still paying for, and will still be paying for through most of my career, despite being technically in "public service"

  • Right! I was just doing it out of memory, but there's many other weird ones. I was looking this up many years ago after an Iranian friend told me it's hop hop there. I remember that for dog, rooster, and I think maybe also pigs and cows, there was wide variation across the world. But for cats, meow was really consistent across most languages. I might be wrong, it's been a while.

  • Wow, I generally knew about the vast surveillance apparatus Israel has, but the details are beyond dystopian

  • Ah, thanks, also, hilarious examples!
