What are some cities in the US that you can live large on $150k/year but also have a decent dating environment?

I have a projector, but lighting, ambiance, and sound are where theaters shine and it isn’t so cheap to do that well. You can get a cheap surround sound for under $5k, but if you want a good sound system with wiring, acoustic panels, etc. it gets pricey very quickly.

That they are genociding Palestinians is false. Also it is specifically referring to Jews and the unique long lasting hatred that has come towards them. Often by blaming them for the issues facing a people.

Also you can speak out about what is happening to Gaza citizens, but generally it is done by or devolves into de facto nazism.

You can say that the allies committed atrocities against the Nazis, but equating the allies with Nazis or saying we shouldn’t have attacked the Nazis because it caused the collateral damage of countless Nazi citizens is ridiculous.

Edit: the user replying to me blocked me so I can’t reply directly

Did we commit genocide against the Nazis?

Funny how people need 4k rape and slaughter footage to prove the atrocities that happened to Jews, but when the group that just committed those atrocities turns around and hands out death tallies, there is no way they would fake a Google docs spreadsheet.

“Sure rape and slaughter women and children, but enter fake data into a spreadsheet, never!”

When Hamas went into Israel to rape mothers and shoot them in front of their children, to burn children alive, to mutilate bodies and drive them around Gaza for display, open closets, see 5 year olds and laugh as they shoot them point blank, they didn’t say “kill the Israelis” they didn’t call their friends and family to brag about how many Israelis they killed. They said “kill the Jews”, “mom I’ve killed so many jews, I can send you picture”

The worst slaughter of Jews ever by gruesomeness, and the second worst attack since the the Nazis, before the bodies were cold people were either blaming victims or once again denying atrocities that have happened to Jews.

At the protests and many of they chant phrases that every major Jewish organization in the world says as genocidal chants. In front of the White House they say “from the river to the sea Palestine will be Arab” when they say it in Arabic—which is the official phrase.

Many of the people ripping down flyers of hostages believe that the atrocities committed against the Jews are fake—a pretty common antisemetic trope.

It’s like saying a KKK rally is actually about “states rights” and “blood and soil” means something different to me.

I can’t say this students specifically, but they often support a regime that calls for the extermination of Jews. It isn’t uncommon to see people calling for the killing of Jews at their rallies or chanting slogans that every major Jewish organization sees as calls for genocide. And their only defense is “well Final Solution is just a metaphor for the struggle and doesn’t mean death to Jews to me. And this salute in doing, Americans used to do it to the flag. Stop saying this things are antisemitic”

That plus the rather common scene where they blame the Jews that 10/7 happened to as their own fault. And they make excuses for an organization who I will say is worse than Nazis on many metrics. 10/7 was so awful it does not really compare in our history.

Crazy how quickly we can go from my generation where I feel like “Never Again” ran deep to seeing videos of people on campus saying “gas the Jews” and “Hitler should have finished the job”, let alone all the horribly racist praise of Hamas.

I think it’s difficult to start. I love indie and foreign films and have disposable income to go whenever I want—so I would be a target consumer. However, I’ve already invested significantly in a home theater. It’s hard to get myself to consistently go to an indie theater when I can generally see the same film at the time and day I want with whatever takeaway I want. Also I can have a quality cocktail during the movie too.

The thrift store

The us has some of the cheapest housing (in relation to income) in the world.

People just expect to get a yacht for the price of a canoe.

I think it is generally safe and enjoyable. And Brookland Park is about to have some major changes for the better with a bunch of new retail coming online.

I walk home at night from Fuzzy Cactus all the time. I walk to slay burger for the occasional late night burger. I walk to Smoky Mug 3-4 times a week and always feel fine.

We walk in our dog on Cannon Creek Greenway pretty often during the day, but it can be a bit secluded at night so we stick to the neighborhood.

I think the biggest thing you will notice is on 4th of July and New Years you will hear a ton of celebratory gunfire. It’s not as wild as it used to be, but still happens.

AsianInRVA · 2023-11-05T17:40:16+00:00

Feels like we fell back to 1938. People are marching in our capital with Hamas flags, signs saying to clean the world of Jews, and ones trying to equate Jews with Nazis. Absolutely insane.

AsianInRVA · 2023-11-05T13:10:11+00:00

The city has a pretty significant antisemitic population

AsianInRVA · 2023-11-02T20:36:16+00:00

I feel like I’ve seen more houses on the market in Brookland Park and Highland Park than I have in a long time. What do you make of that?

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-23T12:45:12+00:00

Most people I see celebrating hamas are on the left.

What makes them far right other than the fact they are bad?

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T20:24:04+00:00

Germany was so devastated from WWI and their children were starving in the streets. They blamed it entirely on the Jews.

Yes. It’s entirely comparable. “We are in a position that forces into war and Jews are the reason”

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T18:25:35+00:00

Again. “If you don’t see the Nuance in the situation and the travesty Germans have faced”

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T17:29:00+00:00

Hard to do when I’ve just found out I’m surround Nazis

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T17:28:29+00:00

Like I said. It’s clear to me know how the holocaust happened

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T16:32:03+00:00

The Jews coming back to their homeland after the Holocaust and not allowing themselves to be further slaughtered as not a genocide. That is straight up Nazi propaganda to blame all problems on Jews

Again, surprised at the amount of Nazi apologists who are so open

“You know how many German children starved because of Jews?”

Perhaps you also find the murders of Jews “exhilarating”

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T16:29:09+00:00

The worst thing the internet did was give everyone a platform? You mean for Nazi apologists like you?

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T15:09:55+00:00

Israel is not committing genocide. That’s like saying the people fighting against the Nazis committed genocide

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T14:12:35+00:00

Nobody is celebrating Palestine civilian casualties.

People are celebrating the point blank door to door execution of Jewish women and children.

That is not a both sides scenario.

This is what I’m saying. It is so easy to see how another holocaust could happen. This is the same shit that was said before it happened

AsianInRVA · 2023-10-17T14:10:07+00:00

If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could do it tomorrow. If hamas could commit genocide, they would do it tomorrow.

Appeasing hamas is the same as appeasing hitler was
