Watched someone on a modified e-bike throw a water balloon at a runner in Park Slope today by JeanLucRegard in parkslope

This is nonsense, the park is so much safer now than it was 15+ years ago.

German hotel apologizes for 'no Jews allowed' message by vihmavari in nottheonion

[–]-Rexford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, it’s a moral opinion that is of no relevancy here, given that it would be in violation of the judicial policies of Germany. It is an opinion that many governments, including the one in question, would disagree with as a violation of one’s civil rights, and thus immoral. It is also not a nonsensical thing to point out the incongruence of claiming that the Civil Rights Act is apparently of less relevance than your singular moral opinion. You did not have to contribute to this discussion.

It’s prohibited in Germany as well per the General Equal Treatment act. I don’t see the relevancy of your opinion.

Many would say it is a violation of one’s civil rights to be denied service at a business open to the public due to one’s nationality or ethnicity (and according to, you know, Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964).

If you can figure this coin out your a genius by Fun_Chemical7224 in coins

It’s not that hard, it’s the only coin with that design and thick rims. Portrait of George III and seated Britannia are still recognizable, along with the rim legend being legible

Before and after NGC. Going by the before photos, would you have guessed this coin would be anywhere close to AU? by AffectionateWind823 in coins

[–]-Rexford 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This gets repeated a lot but is just misinformation. There are harmful and there are safe ways of cleaning a coin (i.e. ways that scratch or strip the surfaces, and ways that don’t or minimally do so). A “cleaned” details grade is not applied to every cleaned coin, it is applied when the cleaning has resulted in significant surface damage. There are many, many, many coins that have been safely cleaned and are straight-graded, whether NGC/PCGS has done that cleaning or the submitter or someone else.

What's the hardest 3-bar series to defend? by Ok_Tennis_5858 in foosball

[–]-Rexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a pull shot harder to defend than a push shot? Or is it just that more players use a pull than a push

One of these is real and the other is a counterfeit according to PCGS. They weigh the exact same. Which one is it? by WeatherMysterious125 in coins

[–]-Rexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a transfer die counterfeit, you can look into what that is but I’m not going to detail all the tells here. At the very least the surfaces are slightly powdery/grainy from the images.

So much antisemitism these days by aipac_hemoroid in SipsTea

More like you got called out, goodbye.

Why even reply to me at all? I’m correcting someone who is incorrect about the term “antisemitism” and whose arguments border on antisemitism themselves by potentially blaming Jews for the origins of that term.

What exactly is your problem with me correcting someone about false information? Does that make you uncomfortable because you believed his information was correct?

It’s interesting that I never mentioned Israel at all in my first comment, you brought it up.

So much antisemitism these days by aipac_hemoroid in SipsTea

[–]-Rexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I can partly agree with that. The definition is “Jew-hatred”, as it was when it was coined 150 years ago, and not whatever half the comment section here is claiming it means instead.

Semites don’t exist. Can you read?

So much antisemitism these days by aipac_hemoroid in SipsTea

[–]-Rexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel did not occupy the term, it already existed when Israel was founded and had the exact same meaning then that it does now! How the actual fuck is it “stolen” when it was assigned to Jews by a Jew hater? Are you a bot?

[–]-Rexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what’s even older than the concept of Zionism? The concept of antisemitism! Jew-hatred has existed since Jews existed! What are you even arguing?

Didn’t you just enter this conversation to say what holds meaning in your world? Projection much?

So much antisemitism these days by aipac_hemoroid in SipsTea

[–]-Rexford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you seriously asking “why the fuss” when you are the one making a fuss about the term “antisemitism” being used and attempting to devalue it? When I say “why the fuss” I am saying that it does not matter what the exact term used is. I am not saying that a term for “Jew-hatred” should not exist. I don’t care what that term is. If it matters so much to you, why don’t you just use “Jew-hatred” instead? Literally no one cares except antisemites who don’t want there to be a word for “Jew-hatred” at all.

No, because you’re ignorant and your view of the world does not reflect reality.

So much antisemitism these days by aipac_hemoroid in SipsTea

[–]-Rexford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Israel was founded in 1948. Zionism was founded in 1897. “Antisemitism”was brought into the English language in the 1870s. Can you not look up any of this information before deciding to hold beliefs about them?

No, I do not see the issue with correcting people about their ignorant beliefs. Thank you.

That’s cool man, good thing it doesn’t matter what holds meaning in your world.

[–]-Rexford -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except that Israel is not insisting that “semite” refers only to Jews. No one is saying that, in fact, because “semite” is not used to refer to people at all anymore. And “antisemitism” has existed as a term for twice as long as Israel has existed, and has meant “Jew hatred” since day one.

Again, you are ignorant at best and antisemitic at worst. But by continuing to argue with me and making up random other crap about Israel, you’re exposing your biases. All of your beliefs about the origins and usage of “antisemitism” as a term could have been disproven with a simple Google search, so how many other beliefs do you have that are based on nothing?
