I’m pretty sure English speaking cultures have always been this way

Genuine question (and I don’t know if you’ve gone down this rabbit hole) but does “el” in the context of Hebrew names refer to the concept of any god generically or was “el” the name of the one monotheistic god (before being combined with the monotheistic god with the other name) and the “els” in the names of the angels meant to be an attachment to the court of the one god in a similar way to “isra-el” being not another god but a kingdom/people bearing the name of the god it served (of course talking about biblical Israel and not the modern state).

Since gauche means “left” I’m pretty sure he’d have to got though a more radical change to be that way

If it makes him feel better, the Jewish delis were themselves appropriated from the Germans (and then made kosher) after large communities of Jews moved into the lower east side and liked the deli setup.

In most cases, when you buy shares in an exchange you are also outsourcing your voting rights.

Reddit seems like a completely different site ever since, in my opinion. Am I the know one? Way more (seemingly) AI/chatbot generated content and comments, much more heavy handed top-down moderation, and basically a complete lack of both useful content and current events. The whole site seems completely artificial in a way it didn’t before (not saying it was 100% organic before). But maybe I’m imagining it.
