See an ENT if these sound the same to you; you may need a hearing aid.

What makes your opinion more valid that the many people who have said it resembles a Slavic language, including people who are Slavic speakers?

Lmao. Right to the personal attacks because your stupid topic got called out. Paul is generally fairly informed but he does make plenty of mistakes from time to time, and is not a language specialist, just an enthusiast. And the article you give provides some reasons for why *some people* may think they sound similar. They don't. Sorry your topic is a giant failure.

your argument that it doesn't is literally "they don't"

they sound similar enough that the question gets asked a lot. and reasonable explanations are given for it.

that kinda ruins your "it doesn't at all, not even remotely, because I said so" argument

so who's the stupid one here?

I don't care. Paul isn't an expert and he even says in that video that many/most native speakers would agree it doesn't.

He seems to know more than you. There's clear phonological similarities, even if just a little bit superficially, but you're like "durr no it doesn't at all". The fact that it's a pretty common question kinda subverts that.

she started sharing a string of covid-denialism/conspiracy stories on instagram lately. i checked the page she's getting it from, and it's from a popular right-wing personality. i thought that maybe it's she's only a clown wrt to Covid (she was always into weird new age/spiritual/christian ****, and a lot of those types have turned into covid-truthers), but nah, she's liked the page's posts about Trump, "election fraud", Jan 6 riots, anti-Biden and Pelosi, anti-wokeness, BLM, etc

the weird thing? she's a gay Filipina "creative" who, with her black gf (ex now, i think), used throw these collective art/music/poetry shows featuring mostly black/poc artists. they were even at the major George Floyd protests here in LA last year and made a video about it. i wonder what the hell happened

I agree. I should be flogged for my obvious lack of common sense. It's well-known that logic and common sense is what drove the people centuries ago.

yeah exactly, which is why they would have investigated Solomon

lol. hundreds of people were arrested and investigated on the faintest of accusations during the salem witch trials, including clergy, and you don't think a confessed witch saying that there's another witch in town and if you want proof all you have to do is search under his house would warrant even a basic investigation lmao

Here you are still under the delusion that they would completely dismiss her accusations and nobody would even investigate her claims of where the lair is. Complete lack of common sense you got there.

I see. Just like they looked for actual proof before they decided to hang a teenage girl.
Just like when they were checking for a witchmark on their bodies, found none and not a single fuck was given.
Not only was this set in a time period where women were expected to shut up and serve men....these people lost their children and the future of their town in a gruesome manner. They were never looking for proof, they were looking for a scapegoat to feel their rage and found one that their morals deemed evil.

You are incredibly dumb. You're talking about lack of concrete proof not absolving someone, which is a totally different issue.

This is a witch telling you who her partner is and telling you exactly where to find their secret satanic lair where they do their rituals, and you think nobody would even bother to investigate it. lol

Yup, I'm dumb as a bag of doorknobs. I seriously believe that all those women that were burned alive, drowned, beaten,... in that time period were able to convince others of their innocence and/or the guilt of other parties. I mean...men were notorious for being accused of witchcraft and being burned at the stake after all, so easy peasy to accuse them as a woman, right?

You know the difference between the real life witch trials and the one in Fear Street? Actual witchcraft and proof.

If she accused Solomon and told them to look for his Satanic lair underneath his house, they would have checked.
