A mooted plan by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to introduce military service for young people is “utter nonsense”, according to Colum Eastwood. The SDLP leader has condemned the suggestion and said that the proposed budget of £2.5 billion would “never be enough” to implement it anyway. Sunak, who is on the campaign trail ahead of a general election in July, said that if re-elected, he would introduce a requirement for 18-year-olds to either complete a year’s placement in the military or spend one weekend a month for a year volunteering in their community. Eastwood says the idea is a sign of a “faltering” Tory campaign. “It would be chaos if we had to bring this in in Northern Ireland,” Eastwood told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland. “The figures don’t add up at all. £2.5 billion would actually never be enough to implement this. “If you’re given £2.5 billion for young people, this is not how you would spend it. “[Young people] are going to be told they have to take whatever spare time they have and go and work for free, or join the army and possibly be sent to some warzone around the world” he said. -“It’s just bonkers.”

Already there's a large percentage of possible conscripts from the province who certainly won't want to join the British military. Also, it's mandatory but also voluntary, and your parents might be fined if you don't show up. So it's actually obligatory but they don't want to say so.

This is obviously for the looming war, which our global “leaders” say is on the horizon but who seem to be doing very little to prevent it. On the contrary, capitalist are throwing money at the arms industry as governments ramp up weapons production. Can't wait for the mass desertion that's sure to happen in each country as they implement the draft. I hope Ireland, Western Europe's remaining neutral country, is ready for the influx of draft dodgers.

beseda dne: mavrica

etimologija: verjetno iz Mavra - Mavrka (Mavri kot prebivalci severa Afrike). Če je to res, potem je mavrica: "pisana kot temna koža in barvite obleke Mavrov".

Frazem "pijan kot (božja) mavra" pa iz ljudske predstave, da mavrice pijejo vodo (Snoj za oboje).

Poimenovanje za Mavre iz latinskega Maurus (ugibam, da mogoče prek nemščine ali italijanščine)). V latinščino iz grščine, v grščino pa ... Tem več gledam, tem bolj me zmede. Več informacij spodaj.

Okej, zdaj smo samo še tisti, ki nas zanima. Finofajn!

1.) Wikipedija trdi, da je Strabon rekel, da so Mavri tako imenovali sami sebe. Ko gledam vir, ki ga citira Wikipedija, sicer tega ne najdem, se pa resda prav nič ne znajdem na Perseusovi strani, nikoli se nisem in se nikoli ne bom. (Wikipedija, Perseus) Slab vir, boste rekli - se strinjam! Ampak ga nekoliko podpre nadaljnje raziskovanje, zato ga sploh navajam ...

2.) Enciklopedija Novega sveta pravi, da beseda pride iz grškega poimenovanja za črno oz. temno barvo. Oni to besedo navajajo kot, citiram, "mauros". Zakaj jo tako citiram? No, ker niso vključili naglasa, jasno! Se pa bojim, da zna biti kar pomemben. Do te enciklopedije gojim globoko skepso, ker prvič slišim zanjo in ker sama o sebi pravi, da je osnovana na Wikipediji, samo da z "bolje recenziranimi članki". Ja, okej, ja, kdo jih pa recenzira, če smem vprašati? Kakšno ime in naziv bi prišel prav ...

3.) Grška beseda, za katero se moram zanašati na Wiktionary! Moji viri so brez graje! Torej: začnimo z novogrškim μαύρος (črn, temačen ...). Naglas na prvem zlogu - akut, ampak to je tako ali tako pričakovati, ker je le nova grščina in so naglasna znamenja poenostavljali, če se ne motim. Ne spoznam se, ampak mislim, da imajo samo še akute? Ne vem!

Kakorkoli že, nadaljujmo! Μαύρος naj bi prišel iz μαῦρος (koiné, torej, kaj, čas Aleksandra Velikega?) in ἀμαυρός (stara grščina). Ne pomaga, da je sploh stara grščina razdrobljena na milijardo dialektov!

Za ἀμαυρός (temen, slep, šibek ...) etimologija Wiktionaryju ni znana. Mogoče iz protoindoevropejskega *h₂mr̥-wós, lahko pa bi bil povezan z besedo μαυρός.

In kako je s slednjo? Tudi ta ima kup pomenov (temen, slep, šibek, negotov, neznan, nerazumljiv), ker grščina ne bi bila grščina brez pol strani definicij za vsako besedo. Etimologija je pa še vedno neznana! In, še huje, ena od možnih etimologij je kar (*globok vzdih*) - iz poimenovanja za Mavre. Da so oni sami sebe imenovali Mavri in so Grki besedo potem prevzeli ter ji nekako pridali milijardo pomenov.

Lahko bi bila pa iz protoindoveropejskega korena *mergʷ- in nekako sorodna npr. angleški besedi murky.

Mogoče bo več uspelo ugotoviti vam!

hola, q tal :) little ot update? naiara y violeta peleadas? naira tampoco se lleva bien con pol ahora? juanjo, su familia y julait? pol tiene novia?? salma le escribió una canción a denna però ella no le da crédito? wtf is happening? q de todo esto es verdad? 🤭🩷

vale a ver yo me quité twitter hace unos meses para estudiar a full un examen importante que tengo, y solo tengo abierta mi cuenta privada así que no tengo 100% información sobre todo.

ni idea de lo de naiara y violeta peleadas. solo vi que había pelea con las kivis, supongo que era eso ???? de nuevo ni idea.

eso también lo vi, como que naiara había metido mierda de les otites o algo así en una fiesta ??? genuinamente no sé cómo de cierto es eso, a la gente le encanta inventarse cosas en este fandom sjdsjdjs

VALE ESTO SÍ LO SÉ, al parecer la familia de juanjo (que siempre se ha visto como que se aprovechaban mucho de su fama) han registrado julait como marca ??? supongo que quieren hacer merch o algo así pero es raro. y luego también he visto que sorteaban números de la lotería o algo así que también era un poco extraño.

esto no sé si está confirmado pero en teoría sí, está con aurora que es su estilista. por lo que entendí se le escapó a juanjo en una entrevista (mi cotilla favorito)

esto lo he visto esta mañana !!!! de nuevo ni idea de cuanto cierto es esto porque no sé contexto pero sí, al parecer salma escribió al menos parte de la nueva canción de denna, y el videoclip son fotos y videos de ella con otres otites (adivina con cuales xd) pero no sale salma por ninguna parte. la verdad es que de denna he estado viendo rumores y cosas así que no me están gustando mucho

y creo que eso es todo ????? no sé si hay más cosas la verdad, estoy un poco desconectado y todo lo que sé es por cosas de las que hablan como 5 personas que tengo en la privada y ya jsdjsjdsj

NORTHERN IRELAND Secretary Hilary Benn has outlined the steps the British Government will take to repeal and replace the controversial Legacy Act. Following his election earlier this month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer was quick to announce his intention to scrap the Troubles legislation put in place by the previous Conservative government, which was widely criticised by all political parties in Nothern Ireland and in the south. Yesterday, Mr Benn provided an update in parliament on the government’s approach to removing the most troublesome elements of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023, including the immunity it provided for those guilty of Troubles crimes and the removal of the right for the families of those killed during the conflict to seek inquests or investigations into those deaths. “The Government has today written to the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal to formally abandon all its grounds of appeal against the section 4 Human Rights Act declarations of incompatibility made by the Northern Ireland High Court in relation to the Act,” Mr Benn said. “The declarations of incompatibility that the Government is no longer challenging include those relating to the conditional immunity provisions, which could - had they not been struck out by the High Court - have seen individuals being granted immunity from prosecution for providing information about Troubles-related deaths and serious injuries,” he explained. “This is the first step in fulfilling the Government’s manifesto commitment to repeal and replace the Act,” Mr Benn told the House of Commons. “Victims and survivors have felt ignored by the previous Government’s approach to legacy, which has been clearly rejected across communities in Northern Ireland,” he added. “The conditional immunity provisions, in particular, have been opposed by all Northern Ireland political parties and by many victims and survivors, as well as being found by the Court to be unlawful.

Great news. The legislation was just an attempt by the Tory government to evade its responsibility towards victims of violence on both sides, but especially if that violence was committed by British soldiers, against Catholics, obviously.

So far every side name has two syllables.

Ro/man.

Ja/nus. (or Jan/us, depends on how you say it)

Re/mus.

Pat/ton.

Lo/gan.

Vir/gil.

Even Thom/as and Ni/co have two syllables.

Heck, even E/mile and Re/my have two syllables.

What if the next side doesn't? What if it's like, Craig or something?

Even Apollo (a common orange-side name theory, after Logan's comment about wishing Apollo had more of an influence in WTIT) would mess with the pattern, being A/pol/lo
