It’s so exhausting, but this is the real antisemitism. When you retaliate against Jews for expressing our political opinions, you’re the ones being antisemitic, not the Jews speaking our minds.

It’s a damn shame that so many people are incapable of grasping that Jews can be just as critical of the actions of a foreign government as anyone else. In fact, it is antisemitic to assert that Jews must adhere to some shared belief that doesn’t reflect our reality or values. When Israel acts like a monstrous murderer, this Jew will always call it out.

Ah that’s useful info, thanks! I’ve lived in the same apartment for as long as I’ve been using the litter, so it’s totally possible that I’ve just gotten lucky with my particular plumbing. Now that I know there could be problems for my neighbors, I’ll ask my landlord to see if he’s noticed any issues over the years.

Now that’s a clever concept, very cool idea. It could even scale based on the difficulty or world-ending significance of the mission. Like, it’s okay if you cause a bunch of expensive damage by bursting through the roof to disarm a bomb because it’ll save a city block and hundreds of people. But you better not cause any damage or break any bones to save someone from a mugging.

Ooh I like this.

Totally forgot about this game! I messed around with it for a few hours a couple years ago, but the lack of a real narrative turned me off. Was definitely a fun power trip though!

It’s also fully flushable, since it’s just corn. I can’t stress how amazingly convenient that is. I scoop and toss the solids and clumps straight into the toilet, add my own waste if necessary, and flush. No heavy garbage bags filled with gross stinky clay. Never had an issue with plumbing since the clumps break up straight away on contact with the water. I’ve been using it for about a decade. Imo this is one product that lives up to its stupid name.

I want a third person single player Superman game, where Superman is actually as OP as he should be. No squish whatsoever unless kryptonite is involved (and kryptonite would have to be very rare). Because he’d be un-killable and have the edge in almost every situation, the game would have to be pretty creative in order to keep it challenging. And no, I don’t want a Clark Kent journalist simulator. I want to have full 3D flight, invulnerability, super-speed, and everything else. The whole shebang. With some creative storytelling and game mechanics, this could be so awesome.

I hear you. West is inspirational, and Biden is far too old and not exciting in the least. I don’t like Biden one bit. But unfortunately even if a vote for West is not necessarily a vote for Trump, it’s still a vote against Biden, which makes it more likely that Trump will win. Almost none of us get to vote for a person we actually like, so I’m genuinely begging you to reconsider and vote for someone who has a chance of winning. Unfortunately unless something radical happens in the next few months, that’s only Biden and Trump. If you’re trying to send a message with your vote for West, I don’t think the people that matter will hear it. I wish things were different, but unfortunately this election is between a boring old institutional politician and a racist, fascist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, insurrectionist rapist.

I’ve got a slightly older Sceptre 43 inch 4K, and tbh I’ve been trying to find a replacement for a while. The form factor of the TV itself is great, but the picture is pretty crappy. There’s a ton of light bleed around the edges, the HDR functionality is insanely frustrating and looks terrible, and the upscaling is crap. I got it on a ridiculous sale towards the beginning of the pandemic when local shops were clearing their inventories, so I can’t really complain. But I would not buy it again.

I also have two of their PC monitors, and they have the same problems as the TV. No more Sceptre for me in the future.

Why not send some of that sweet sweet surplus Japanese fish over here to the mainland US? Afraid of lowering food prices in general? Screw that. Groceries are still absurdly expensive for us plebs, but sure, send all this food to the military. $800 billion a year clearly isn’t enough to satiate them. Don’t worry about all the civilians who can’t afford their meals.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen criticisms of her leadership. I remember something coming out about her being completely unprepared like a fish out of water when she first took over USAID, but I’ve had trouble reconciling that against her impressive public appearances where she comes off as competent, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable.

The most recent pieces have been from totally shit sources, anyone have an article from a respectable outlet that goes into the criticisms in more detail? As skeptical as I am about this newspaper’s credibility, none of the examples seem too out there.

I don’t know much about them yet, but the Muslim-Jewish Antifascism Front (or MuJew Antifa) is a pretty awesome name.

Any of the books narrated by Peter Kenny in the Culture series by Iain M. Banks. Banks’ books are my favorite Sci-Fi, and Kenny does such an impressive job of doing an understated reading. He “does the voices” really well so you can tell the characters apart, but it’s all very subtle and easy to listen to. He also does the “techno-babble” so damn well, and captures Banks’ sense of humor perfectly.

I think there’s only one of the Culture books that he didn’t narrate, can’t remember which at the moment.

Thanks for sharing! I’m sure it wasn’t easy to get out, I’ve got nothing but respect. Those lifestyles are often prisons for life. I was lucky to figure out atheism very young, and with the surprising support of my family, but I know that’s not usually how it goes.

Yeah, this is way more serious than people realize. The extremist Christian evangelical movement has a disproportionate amount of influence over Israel and how the world views it. They fund schools, museums, archaeological digs and many other things, but with an obvious bias, and often not in the best interest of anyone but those who share their apocalyptic worldview.

It’s pretty wild, and can come off as a bit conspiratorial, once you realize that much of the American support for Israel is for the purpose of preparing for a world-ending war and the resurrection of a mythical character who lives in a collection of short stories.

I’m super curious what they’re going to do to resolve his storyline. We barely got to know him, and I was so drawn in by his overall presence. Genuinely tragic.

Have no fear

Yeah, it was public. This was a while back though, more than two decades ago, so it was the relatively early days of those big online databases. I vaguely remember my school being part of some early trial, though I could be pulling that out of nowhere.
