You’re not wrong! 🤣

I was much younger and significantly more fit!

There are always conclaves within and nearby the city that are deep red. This is often where cops live, which helps maintain the “occupying army” model of policing that dehuminizes the residents.

Guys who lash out like that are 100% looking for an excuse to assault LGBTQ+ people. I’m a straight cis guy, I’ve been approached by men and turn them down politely the same way I would a woman I wasn’t interested in, no violence. The few guys who were handsy or inappropriate were dealt with by the community, no involvement from me needed.

Voucher schools exist because christofascists found another way to gut funding from public schools and place it in private hands.

Definitely unusual for the business, but I would imagine it’s better for the staff.

My Ma is like this. Growing up, we’d just let her argue for her movie choice and then put on what we wanted in less than 30m 🤣.

I didn’t know this joke had Yiddish origins. Funnily enough, it was told to me by my Jewish grandmother when she was explaining in a convoluted way that I should sweep before mopping 🤣.

It’s also probably higher than reported due to people not understanding what constitutes “a drink.” People are naturally not accurate at judging volumes/weight (even if they know the amounts) and probably aren’t measuring. Many more think “a drink” is “whatever is in my glass/bottle/can.” It’s further complicated by the wide variation in alcohol content among drinks within the same category.

100%, Israel itself is the greatest threat to Jewish people worldwide. The false claims of antisemitism allows actual antisemitism to spread where it would have been stamped out otherwise.

Honestly, it could be argued that it is good you’re not aware of it.

Definitely. On top of that, bullshit like this contributes to the muddy waters when you have legitimate critiques of zionism and the government of Israel. But I’m sure the white supremacists know that when they create this bullshit so they can make potential recruits feel like more people agree with their horseshit.

ZOG (usually capitalized) is an acronym standing for “zionist occupied government” tied to white supremacist groups that falls into the usual “Jewish cabal runs everything” nonsense.
