Re: United States Politics Thread 46

It was disastrous, yes, but that's because it should've been done way earlier - the options now were either disaster (withdrawal) or more disaster (continued occupation), and it's pretty obvious which one is better.

Re: Phrase evolution game

It isn't mushy! It's ~sparkling~ . Now that I try reading it aloud, it sounds a bit like how Pinyin might lead you to believe Mandarin sounds (as opposed to how it actually does). [y] and the palatals are very bright, pleasant sounds. I don't fill it full of dark goopy vowels like [ə ʋ ʌ ɵ ɒ] or na...
