This is an indefinite pronoun. Let’s check the declension first:

Nominative: Κανένας or κανείς, καμία or καμιά, κανένα

Genitive: Κανενός, καμίας or καμιάς, κανενός

Accusative: Κανένα, καμία or καμιά, κανένα

There’s no plural. For plural stuff, better use καθόλου (= not any) or nothing at all. (Δεν έχω χρήματα = Δεν έχω καθόλου χρήματα = I have no money).

Κανένας - καμία - κανένα means no-one, nobody (or not a thing, when in neuter form) or anyone / any / some or a (or anything / some, when in neuter form).

It means no-one or not a thing in negative sentences (remember: double negation doesn’t equal affirmation in modern greek). In all other cases, it has the positive meaning. And now for them examples:

Μήπως έχεις καμιά σοκολάτα; = Do you happen to have any chocolate?

Δεν έχω καμία σοκολάτα = I have no chocolate.

So, in questions, it means “any” and in negative sentences it means “no”.

Δεν ήρθε κανείς = Nobody came / was here.

Δεν βλέπουμε καμία ταινία; = Why don’t we watch a film?

The last example seems to be a negative sentence, but it’s not. It’s a negative question, which implies suggestion in modern greek.

Πάμε καμιά βόλτα = Let’s go for a stroll.

Μήπως έχετε κανένα σπίρτο; = Do you happen to have a match?

Έχετε σπίρτα; = Do you have (any) matches?

You may have already deduced that the use of κανένας - καμία - κανένα gives an extra sense of chance, probability.

I'm disgusted every time someone does a gender reveal and it's a gender I already know about, what kind of reveal is that

I want to know more and be able to proper share this information!

As a workaround, Nintendo is offering Switch 2 “game-key cards” which contain just a download code instead of the actual game, so that games can be given as gifts and placed in physical collections while still being relatively cheap to manufacture.

But people who care about videogame preservation and media ownership rightfully have a bone to pick with this idea. Not only that, but Nintendo made the mistake of not being abundantly clear that this was only an option for game developers and not the new normal for all their games. In fact, Nintendo has no plans to put any of their first-party titles on game-key cards. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Zelda BOTW and Zelda TOTK, Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV, Kirby and The Forgotten Lands… all of those cartridges are going to contain the actual game.

Here’s a complete list of the Switch 2 games with a physical release, detailing which ones will be on a key card and which ones will contain the actual game for all who are interested.

TDOR (Transgender Day of Remembrance) is the day when our community (trans and non-binary) remembers, commemorates, and recalls the names of our dead who we have lost to transphobia (murders, suicides, or precarious living conditions).

The first and hardest hit victims are trans women of color, Latinx, including sex workers and activists, in line with the logic of our blantriarchal and transmisogynistic societies.

This year, we have recorded at least 281 deaths of our siblings around the world.

Many deaths remain invisible because their trans identities are ignored by their loved ones, families, journalists, police, government policies, etc. Some are even murdered by their families after coming out or transitioning.

These deaths are all the more significant in the context of the rise of the far right throughout Europe (Finland, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Italy, Slovakia) and around the world (USA, Russia, Israel, Argentina, India, etc.). Precariousness and violence against LGBTIAPQ+ people, and specifically against trans people, continues to increase.

Even when the far right is not in power, our rights are under threat. In the United Kingdom, for example, the Labour Party prime minister has empowered the conservative group “For Women Scotland,” funded by billionaire JKR, to exclude trans women from the definition of “woman,” with all the dramatic consequences that has entailed.

This day is meant for remembrance, but this year I have decided to add anger and protest to it. The fight against the far right and for the right to bodily autonomy for women, people of color, queer people, disabled people, mad people, and minorities has never been more relevant and vital. Now is the time to join forces and stand together by any means possible. For all our adelphs who are no longer with us. For our elders. For future generations.

FR -------------------------- Le TDOR, (Transgender Day of Remembrance) est le jour où notre communauté (trans et non binaire) se souvient, commémore et rappellent les noms de nos mort'es que nous avons perdus via la transphobie (assassinats, sui*ides ou précarités)

Les premières victimes les plus durement touchées sont les femmes trans et personnes transfems noires, latinx, généralement racisées, dont les Travailleuses du Se*e et les militantes, dans la logique de nos sociétés blantriarcales et transmisogynes.

Cette année nous recensons au moins 281 mort'es de nos adelphes dans le monde.

Beaucoup de mort'es restent invisibles, du fait du passage sous silence de leurs transidentités et/ou du mégenrage, par leurs proches, familles, mais aussi par les journalistes, la police, la politique des pays...etc. Certain'es sont même assassinés par leurs proches suite à leur coming out ou transitions.

Ces mort'es sont d'autant plus importantes dans un contexte de montée de l'extrême droite partout en Europe (Finlande, Suède, Hongrie, Pologne, Italie) et dans le monde (Slovaquie, USA, Russie, Isra£l, Argentine, Inde...). La précarité et les violences contre les personnes LGBTIAPQ+ et spécifiquement contre les personnes trans ne cesse d'augmenter.

Et même quand l'extrême droite n'est pas au pouvoir, nos droits sont menacés. Comme au Royaume Uni ou le premier ministre du parti travailliste à donné de la force au groupe conservateur "For Women Scotland" financé par la milliardaire JKR pour exclure les femmes trans de la définition de "femme" avec toutes les conséquences dramatiques qui en ont découlées.

Cette journée est destiné au recueillement, mais cette année j'ai décidé d'y rajouter la colère et la lutte. La lutte contre l'extrême droite et pour le droit à l'autonomie corporelle des femmes, racisé'es, queer, handi'es, fols, minorisés n'a jamais été autant d'actualité et aussi vitale. C'est le moment ou jamais d'unir nos forces et de faire bloc par tous les moyens possibles. Pour tous nos adelphes qui ne sont plus là. Pour nos ainé'es. Pour les futures générations.

Si vous ne voulez pas passer ce moment seul'e vous pouvez vous tourner vers vos associations trans et LGBTIA+ qui font des recueillement publique ou en ligne ce soir.

Voici la liste de @orgasolitrans pour les rassemblements qui auront lieu ce soir un peu partout en france :

You also claimed I support israel which is simply not true.

What genocide? The Arab population of Israel has increased from about a hundred thousand under Ottoman occupation to over 7 million today, including over 2 million Israeli citizens with full rights (which they would not have in any Arab state) and 5+ million in the stateless Arab-occupied territories. Nobody has ever attempted to systematically exterminate that Arab population. That Arab population, however, does explicitly hold Jewish genocide as the primary goal of its political movement.

What indigenous people? Arabs are from Arabia. Please read about Arab muslim imperialism and the Arab conquest and occupation of Israel (and the rest of SWANA, which was not originally Arab or muslim).

All Jews are middle eastern. Exile by imperial powers does not erase a people's ethnicity or geographic origin.

Israel is currently allied with the US, yes. But are you aware that the US had placed Israel under an arms embargo for the first few decades of its independence? Pretty hard for Israel to be a US colony when it was neither established nor populated by Americans, or a UK colony when it literally declared independence from British occupation, and again was not populated by Brits.

There are no "Palestinian Jews" apart from a tiny handful of gerim or children of mixed families born in Israel after its independence. (Intermarriage under islamic occupation was highly limited: muslim men could (forcibly) marry Jewish or christian women if they converted to islam and thus did not have Jewish or christian children, but Jewish and christian men could not marry muslim women. Any such attempted illegal marriages would be addressed by state-sanctioned lynch mob. Intermarriage remains illegal in many islamic countries today.) Prior to the early 1900s, Europeans did sometimes refer generally to all Jews as "Palestinians", and sometimes referred specifically to the Jewish subjects of Ottoman or British occupation in Israel as "Palestinians". Nobody called Ottoman Arabs "Palestinians" prior to the 1920s, when the British started calling the Arabs of Israel and Transjordan "Palestinian". Jewish and Arab are different ethnicities, and the Arabs have never considered any Jews Arab. No Jew of any background was displaced from Israel during the Arab war to destroy the Jews; rather, Israel is where the Arabs forced Jewish refugees from genocide to flee for safety. Subsequently, every Arab state expelled most or all of their Jewish populations following the Arab loss in their war against Jewish independence.

Remember how I said there were only around a hundred thousand Arabs in Ottoman-occupied Israel? Did you know that hundreds of thousands of Arabs who had never lived in the region migrated there in the late 1800s/early 1900s, either seeking better jobs provided by the Jewish independence movement's construction, agricultural, and ecological restoration projects, or else to fight against the Jewish independence movement? Did you know that the UN arbitrarily declared any Arab of any origin currently in Israel to be "Palestinian" in 1948 regardless of how long they'd been there, and so most "Palestinians" today have no roots in the region prior to that time?

The "nakba", a phrase intended to appropriate the Shoah, was not that Israel achieved independence, nor that some Arabs left to avoid living alongside Jews. The "nakba" was that the Arab colonisers lost their genocidal war of aggression and failed to suppress the Jewish independence movement. It's very telling that "nakba day" is the day the Arabs declared war, not the day Israel declared independence.

Where is this energy for actual colonial states? Like every Arab state outside the Arabian peninsula? Or the US, for that matter? Have you ever once posted "Americans go back to Europe"? Have you ever physically protested for your state to dissolve and return sovereignty to its indigenous people?

"Palestine" is a proposed Arab colonial ethnostate where Jews are illegal and which openly seeks Jewish genocide. Where is this energy for Palestine's genocidal colonialism?

Can you think of any other "genocidal settler colony" in history that has only ever fought defensive wars started by foreign imperialists hoping to conquer it, and never initiated aggression?

Does it seem reasonable to you that it is illegal today for Jews to live in most of the core region of Judea, the land whose name we have born since long before either christianity or islam appropriated our closed tribal founding myths, our history, and our land?

If you admit you don't know enough, why are you so confident you're right that you're willing to call for the expulsion of an entire indigenous people from their homeland?

But I am also so tired of anti-Israel talking points that couch this conflict in colonialist context that largely applies to the U.S. Like, Israel *is* the only instance of landback I can think of, certainly the only one I learned about in school (before the term landback had been coined). I feel old reading some of these takes that seem written by people who just didn't learn even the most basic stuff about Israel's origin, insist that Zionism is akin to Manifest Destiny, and don't understand that the dynamics at play here in the imperialist U.S. can't be universally applied to every nation. Context matters.

And I have long felt the hypocrisy of people calling for the dissolution of Israel, handwaving the logistics from their moral high-ground, while comfortably living here in the States.

The proposed solution: you will rewrite the lyrics to the song to imply a platonic friendship between yourself and the man in red, making Santa a real bro who's gonna help you get laid by some hunnies, with cool, masculine gifts like a steel blue convertible, a yacht and tickets to a Canadian hockey game

It’s understandable why they might. Jews can, will, and should be able to hold a wide variety of opinions on a wide variety of things, including the state of Israel, the Israel/Palestine conflict, and the relationship between Jews and the Eretz. And Jewish institutions should facilitate this without stamping out one position or another.

But this can not apply to antagonism.

If there is a faction that is literally explicitly defining their identity around being anti- you or others in your community, it is not only acceptable but your responsibility to not give their intolerance room to fester. This applies to everyone whether they are Zionist, non-Zionist, or anti-Zionist.

Anti-Zionists will argue this is exactly why they need to root out Zionism. That Zionism is inherently intolerant, and thus must be destroyed in the name of tolerance.

The problem is that Zionist and non-Zionist identity, belief, and practice are fully capable of existing without negating Palestinian, Arab, or Muslim self-sovereignty. Anti-Zionist identity, belief, and practice cannot do the same for Jewish self-sovereignty. Because Zionism is the word for Jewish self-sovereignty.

Here are some crazy grasshopper mouse facts for those who are not familiar with the most badass mouse species on the planet

- They are primarily carnivorous, and their diet is made up of not only bugs but also snakes, lizards and other mice.

- They hunt like true predators, slowly stalking and creeping up on their prey before ambushing them. They will sometimes let out a screech as they attack.

- Like wolves, they howl to establish territory and have a specially developed throat to produce louder vocalizations. They will stand up on their hind legs and throw their head back to howl- a sound that can be heard from 100 meters away!

- Grasshopper mouse behavior is linked to lunar cycles and they are more active during a full moon.

"What's something you found on your partner's phone that instantly changed the relationship forever—but they never knew you saw it?"

timothywilliams2017 says:

"A few years ago, I was adding some items to the Notes app grocery list on my wife's phone. The app opened to the most recent list, which was a copy of her wedding vows with the promises she made to me (things like supporting my dreams, being my partner in crazy adventures). Besides each one was a list of ideas to match - including some things we had done recently. We were going through a rough patch at the time and seeing that list doubled my resolve to work through it."

fameone098 says:

"There was a photo album of nothing but pictures of me and our son titled, "My Perfect Men". There were pictures in there I didn't even know about -- him helping me wash my car, us laying on the couch, him teaching me Minecraft, me helping him ride a bike, etc.

I was a mess for a while. Ugly crying. Happy tears, but ugly crying. I had no idea I was loved so deeply by her.

My wife is quiet, introverted and didn't grow up in an environment that was outwardly loving. I wasn't snooping at all, but asked her to share some recent pictures of our son after a sports day at his school. I saw her in a different light after that. Our already good marriage hit a level I didn't even know was possible."

China and its fantasy dramas. It’s a tough battle, finding one that I thoroughly enjoy without relying on either a) nostalgia or b) brainwashing myself into thinking it’s a good show so that I can power through all 1,088 episodes that the writers conjure up. Ashes of Love is not without its flaws, but is nonetheless impressive.
