Homographs are just cruel. As a native english speaker, it’s like… bullying for someone trying to learn the language. Read vs. Read - evil.

Both give me shivers

Don’t get me wrong, I love honeybush but the honeybush that I’ve had has always been a very light flavour compared to rooibos. Like, with rooibos I feel like I’m having tea as opposed to honeybush essenced hot water
Beautifully said! I was going to say something along the lines of science is the belief/ trust in man, while religion is the belief/ trust in a deity but I believe this is better.

Depending on what you’re looking for “girly” could fit.

Ex. If a macho man is a “manly man” (which I don’t think is entirely accurate because I think the concept of machismo is much more complex than that), then a “girly girl” would kind of be the equivalent?

Alternately, “femme” can be used to mean kind of the same thing but more respectfully since “girly” has a rather childish connotation. “Ultra femme” or “High femme” can be used to describe someone that strives for or is the peak of feminity but then… defining what that means is a whole other thing that’s probably just as complex as defining Macho/ Machismo.

Not sure if this helps but I wish you luck in your search for the word.

I swear to you that I believe the Holocaust happened.

I’m trying to say that one man, who was 18 years old, in 1943, living in Ukraine (which was part of the Soviet Union at the time), might have had limited options in what he did for a living.

And if he didn’t want to his people to be a part of the Soviet Union then he could have ended up on a unit that was working against the Soviet Union. I’m not saying that was right or wrong. I’m just saying it’s more complicated than “this guy was a Nazi” and the whole government of Canada is full of idiots.

I’m not arguing that the Holocaust didn’t happen.

I just linked an article stating that this singular Ukranian man fought on a unit that was found to have committed no war crimes.

I can also link to a [Wikipedia page](en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaroslav_Hunka#:~:text=Ya…

Yaroslav Hunka - Wikipedia

I tried to link the article in my comment. I believe it was also linked on Canada earlier today.

This article kind of sucks.

Here is an article that paints a more nuanced picture and doesn’t call every MP an idiot.

Not blaming you for posting, OP. Just wanted to offer a take with more depth than “Nazis bad” Everyone knows Nazis are bad. This situation is more complex than that.

Fighting against the USSR didn’t necessarily make you a Nazi

Canada’s Hunka scandal is a demonstration of how when history is complicated, it can be a gift to propagandists who exploit the appeal of simplicity.

POLITICO

Are you the same person that’s been arguing with your husband about Joe Rogan stuff?

Just as a fellow woman, I’m a bit worried for you because there are two possibilities in my mind for how he’s become so convinced of these beliefs.

  • He’s been indoctrinated into some right wing “beliefs” which are generally not grounded in fact and are instead grounded in “belief” which makes them very difficult to argue.

  • He’s experiencing a bout of some kind of mental illness (Ie. Something with paranoia as a symptom, or a kind of OCD, which I say this as a partner of someone with OCD). Some beliefs can creep in and get stuck VERY FIRMLY and again, these are completely resistant to logic.

  • I realize that probably seems like a giant leap from “how do I prove soy isn’t bad for you” but if you find what you’re looking for here. Like, if you find all the sources for scientific articles and such that back up your completely reasonable argument at soy is indeed food, and he still cannot see your argument as valid, I think you might have a larger problem.
