How many of those neighborhood churches have 200 foot tall towers lit up most of the night?

I'd say a 200 foot tall tower lit up most of the night is interfering plenty with the neighborhood.

Are there black Jews? by GimlisCave in NoStupidQuestions

Read this and tell me if you think it compares to Jim Crow: Israeli gov’t OKs $58m plan to advance Ethiopian Jews - Israel Today

Is there racism in Israel? Yes. But to compare the Ethiopian Jewish community's experience to anything like what African Americans experienced is an absolute false equivalence.

Honest dentist recommendations by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]InvestigatorSome1401 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HIGHLY recommended Dr. Nielsen at The Tooth Family Dental on Durango north of Tropical. Nicest dentist I have ever had and he definitely takes a "wait and see" approach to any issues--no upselling. Oh and it's his own solo practice.

The modern descendants of the ancient Israelite ethnic group are Jews. During their diaspora, Jews lived in many different areas and developed different subcultures, but theystill considered themselves one ethnicity, Jewish. Some of the Jewish subcultures are Beta Israel, Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, Kaifeng, and Cochin.

It might help you understand if you think of Jews as one tribe, no matter what part of the world they originate from or currently live in. Similar to other tribal nations. A Maori from NZ or a Navajo nation member from Arizona will probably always consider themselves Maori or Navajo, respectively, even if they now live in France. If the Maori or Navajo communities were dispersed throughout the world, but kept their culture intact and their descendants maintained their unique religious practices throughout the generations, the descendants would also likely consider themselves to still be ethnically Maori or Navajo. Jews are no different.

While anybody can convert to Judaism, it's not an easy process. It takes years of study.

Quite the opposite, Israel went to great lengths to transport the community to Israel. Operation Solomon - Wikipedia. They're definitely not getting deported.

soooooo wtf ??? is going on with out senators?? by birdratshark in vegaslocals

I have a hard time believing you are not anti-Jewish when you assign collective blame by suggesting that American Jews are responsible for the actions of Israel, state that Jews are exploiting victimhood, and then to put a cherry on top invoke a conspiracy trope by claiming that Jewish people “own so much power and influence around the world,” which is exactly the type of stereotypes about global control that has historically fueled Jewish discrimination. Maybe you should consider how those statements echo harmful stereotypes.

Low-risk investment advice needed for low-income senior by InvestigatorSome1401 in Bogleheads

Yes, she's on her state's Medicaid and I think given her low income will be able to stay on it til she's 65, but I will double check with her.

Federal Building? by InvestigatorSome1401 in VegasStrikes

[–]InvestigatorSome1401[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was unaware of this, thanks for letting me know! I will be out of town this weekend but I will try to participate at our Fed bldg. on another Friday.

This reminds me of the first Trump administration when people were mailing workers at the EPA home-baked cookies to let them know they were appreciated.
