okay, but owl necklace?

My attendance confirmation email has already scolded me for not wearing a costume. I DON'T HAVE ONE OKAY *CRIES*

I do not give a single fuck what either Chabad or AI (LOL) says.

Contextualism is a form of relativism, but that semantics debate is irrelevant. You're dismissively advocating for softer judgment of SA because it happened in a time when people thought it was okay. Gross and shameful.

I'm familiar with historical relativism. I don't need it explained to me.

I'm saying this stance is absolutely abhorrent.

You can keep explaining your arguments but the core of the issue isn't that people don't understand you, it's that they find your arguments morally bankrupt.

Disagreement isn't occurring because people don't understand your position. The cause for disagreement is that you are advocating for judging rape through moral relativity and most humans, shockingly, find that extremely repugnant.

Yeah, the headline makes it sound like individuals have created this dependence rather than that they exist in a society where being carless can range from "extremely inconvenient" to "impossible" depending on location.

I'd love to bike more but I'm not willing to get hit by a car occasionally.

LOL fantastic!

I'm not doing a costume for the Erev Purim event, but it is a good excuse to break out my seldom-worn purple sneakers.

Rape is wrong regardless of the historical or social norms during which it occurs. Hope this helps.

It really says something that of all the things you could be spending your time on, you choose to argue for historical relativism for sexual assault.

this conversation really is.... something.

For those unfamiliar with the joy: There's a camera in a canal, and if you see a fish swim up, you ring a doorbell for it, and the lock operator lets it through!

yes

anyway, fuck netanyahu

and fuck my own government too

All of them, it seems.

I deleted my post about my difficulty finding joy in Purim given the state of things, because after making it, I saw multiple discussions in my feed about how Jews don't deserve to feel joy right now because of Israel, and I didn't want those things to get confused by Internet People Who Can't Read.

I love this kind of stuff, and despite my proximity, I've seen so little of Imperial County.

Love the design, love the colour, love the sentiment.

The sentiment would be false advertising if I personally wore it, but it's a very rad shirt!

This is the most depressing shit I've seen on the internet today, and considering the motherfucking state of things at this moment in time, that says a lot.

A United States map hung in a nice wood frame. The states are colourful but highly detailed with both political and geographical markings.

Fellow map nerds, please appreciate this beautiful map I inherited from my father in law. It is a massive 3' x 5' framed. You can use magnetic pins to mark places on it without damaging the map.

We've had it in the garage since he passed, and I finally hung it (on a stud! it's so heavy!)

Fish Doorbell season is the best time of the year!

A very bewildered looking tuxedo cat, from the chest up. His eyes are wide and his whiskers are everywhere. If cat's had bedhead with whiskers, this is it.

Everything is terrible. Please enjoy my cat, Stormageddon:

it would be more funny if it was less true

I wasn't familiar with the poster; I just read the chain where it started with "US Jews don't face the same level of systemic oppression that others do" (sure) and then ventured into "antisemitism is imaginary and you guys are just mad when we call you out for all the bad stuff you do" (yikes)

Yeah, if they had stopped there, I would have agreed with that person! Other than Jews of colour (who face oppression because of the latter half), Jews -aren't- oppressed to the degree or in the same ways as other minorities.

But then the rest of their elaboration was hand waving and dog whistles.

I'm sure that will be super fun.

Looks like I will be there in the audience, just by myself!

There's layers of LOL to unpack here but the "since 2000" is the best. Maybe it's because I'm old but that is not long enough ago to be a brag.

Oh, you read the texts when they were only 880* years old? Clearly superior to someone who waited until they were 900.

*I did not actually look up dates

Look at my sleepy baby

Remember when Trump was first campaigning, people would hand wave about each bad thing he said ? Then thinking was more than just that one thing by itself, how didn't people see that?

That's Platner now! Red flag after red flag! I feel like I'm taking crazypills that Dems don't see it.
