For all my American friends, "nonce" is equivalent to "pedo".

I always thought it meant idiot or dunce. Glad I never used it, lol.
Same
Appreciate it.
I kept seeing it like "Death to arbitrary numbers in Cryptography?"
I know right? “Number used Once” is what I was taught.
I got to learn this after I started referring to a label at work as 'nonce' because of how it looked -- "NONC-3"
and THEN I found out the definition of the term
A nonce is jargon in cryptography. It means a random unique value used to make it impractical for an attacker to guess in a protocol.
I knew the definition from way back and had a time when learning about cryptographic nonces https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_nonce
Thank you, I struggled to look it up and find an answer that made any sense 😅
So it's not 'once' but for 0? Sad face.
What they're saying is that blowing up hospitals and murdering children and genociding people is a Jewish trait. Which seems hella anti-semitic to me.
Well yeah a lot of Israel's defenders seem to have a really different understanding of jews from me. To me they're neighbors and friends who have a slightly different culture and generally practice a different religion.
Most of them don't seem to give a shit about Jewish people, they just have ulterior motives for supporting Israel. Arm sales, geopolitical strategy, hating Muslims, lebenstraum, and then there's the crazy Christians who support it because of the rapture stuff. Then there are the Jewish people who delusionally believe that somehow having a state which is solely dependent on the US empire's support is somehow going to protect them from another holocaust and think that priority overrides everything else. I can't think of ANYONE I know who can genuinely square support for Israel with any kind of Jewish religious values. Because they can't. Because that would be insane.
When an actual Jewish person comes out against Israel, they just call them a self hating Jew. Yup. Nothing antisemitic about that. They must just really want to protect Jewish people from... checks notes... ourselves.

This is scary to me. Like when reporters started going up to random Jewish people in New York and asking about "your prime minister"
I didn't think they would start "othering" us so fast
The insane thing about it is it's not like this is an unprecedented kind of racism. Tying your enemies to foreign nations is a great way to separate them from everyone else and take away their rights. The Nazis ranted about "Jewish Bolsheviks" to tie Jews to the Soviets. Catholics in America were thought to be agents of the church, answerable to Rome before the country, hence why JFK was such a notable president. There were the Japanese internment camps during WWII. Obviously for the past couple decades we've had right wingers try to tie Muslims/Arabs to terrorists or Iran or something.
Nothing is new if you pay attention to history, which is why it's so depressing when we just keep seeing the same shit happen over and over again. This time it's just so much dumber than normal because people who are supposed to be from our group are doing it while claiming that their support of a current genocide is because of them supposedly remembering the history of the last genocide against them. It's so unbelievably cynical while somehow also being so dumb and shortsighted that I can't understand how they don't see that.

*cojones.
A "cajon" is a box.
You put your cojones in a cajon, you get her to open the cajon...
¡Es mi pene en una caja! mi dick en un cuadro beibi
As long as it's your OWN baby picture I'm cool with that
A "cajon" is a drawer while "caja" is a box. Could be mistaken if other regional dialects call it differently.
Not sure how regional it is, but in Southern California, I've heard cajón mean both box and drawer. It might be a specific type of box? Like a wooden box made out of pallet wood.
Yeah, same for me. There's also a box drum from Peru called a "cajon." Pretty cool instrument. https://youtu.be/6vaJiSlguBg?t=37
"-on" just modifies the word. It means box, crate, or drawer. Derivative of "caja."
Didn’t realize the bbc was so anti-Semitic.
Fun fact: you probably misspelled (misspelt?) "cajones" because that means "shelf boxes" in Spanish
misspelled (misspelt?)
Both are correct
Spelt is more common in UK English, spelled is more common with Americans (I have no idea what other variants use)
I’m American and I work in a German bakery. Every time I translate Dinkel to English for a customer (dinkle, farro, or spelt, the latter of which I use), I get a moment of total disorientation where I think I’ve just said nonsense because my brain connects it to the conjugation first.
The Zionist/Semitic merger has done too much harm to the world at large
I smirked when I realized simile wasn't smile.
No regret! Nazis belong under sunflowers!
They're pretty good with some raspberry jam on them? Wait, what the hell is a "nonce"?
Consider analogous countries.
A country with a big Christian cross as it's flag. Christian symbology in their emblems, money, seals, etc. The national anthem is about Christians reclaiming their holy land. "A country where Christians can feel safe."
"Hello welcome to Bobland, a country founded by Steves. Steve is on our flag and money and stamps and official seals... and our songs are about Steve. The major religion is Steve. Our politics are mostly about Steve."
"Why are Steves committing genocide?"
"How dare you conflate our actions with Steve! This is Bobland! If you don't accept technicalities you're basically Hitler."
