Oh and you would need to wear one as well, fire retardant.

But in common usage it’s quite different. Like if your friend sends a pretty selfie you’ll be like “mashallah” or if your brother passes their exam, etc. Hence the comparison to “slay”.

I don’t know all the Star Wars lore, but Anakin describing himself as a “general” is interesting. Did he lead armies?

I often heard it translated as “as god has wished” from Arabic languages (ma sha allah).

The most gigachad source there is

Ukraine has handed over to Russia as part of an exchange a 21-year-old student who had plans to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), investigative media outlet Verstka reported on Friday, citing his friends and Ukrainian military sources.

According to Verstka, Alexey Gerasimov was a former student of journalism at the Chuvash State University, who, friends said, openly supported Chuvashia’s secession from Russia. Chuvashia is a republic in Russia’s Volga region where local Chuvash, a Turkic ethnic group, form a two-thirds majority of the population.

“He would debate teachers, saying it was time for Chuvashia to secede from Russia. The teachers reported him and he was mobilised into the army,” Mishshi Oreshnikov, a Chuvash activist who fights for the AFU, told Verstka, though Verstka was unable to confirm this.

I’ve been looking into [email protected] it looks quite promising but I haven’t had the energy to really engage with it and test it.

In fact, it appears we live in a giant cosmic void with roughly 20% lower than the average density of matter.

Okay that’s a little less dramatic than I envisioned given the use of the word “void”

Not very high priority to remove though. Nothing identfiable in the gran scheme I guess.

Do you have a link to any of these :)
