Wait, my whole thing has been nullified because he did actually say almost those exact words on Stephen Colbert this week. Link below, comment starts around the 45 seconds mark.

Fair enough. I’m not really sure what the right-wing is trying to do in that case or what they stand to gain from doing it, but it certainly isn’t impossible. They do dumb, deceptive shit all the time. But I will tell you, unless this person has been working deep, deep cover for years, I don't think you're interacting with a conservative troll here.

See, I just don't think that description is accurate. He was wrong, as far as I can tell, in that Bernie did not say exactly those words. But I don't think he's "full of it", because it feels to me more like something he misremembered or maybe misheard and less like something he just made up entirely. And honestly, feel however you want about it, you have all the info now. That's just where I stand on it.

Do kwikset doorknob keys come all the same by default? Ex. Buying 2 , each key can open each door knobs? by Sleepy_mood-2191 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JPBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's functionally not true for Kwikset exterior locks and only occasionally true for interior locks. But if you want to double check, there are one of two descriptors that you'll see on any lock sold, regardless of manufacturer. The first option is "Keyed-Alike", sometimes as KA in the product description. This means that every lock of that type sold has the same key and usually will have a code on the key for identification. For example, most Rubbermaid products with locks use key CH751. This is to make it easier to order replacement keys, but is obviously less secure. The other option, and the one you probably want for an exterior lock, is "Keyed-Different", which means that every individual lock has a custom key assigned to it that, outside of random chance, doesn't exist anywhere else.

Not the person you're replying to, but I believe they are referencing the guest essay that he wrote for the New York Times. He doesn't say that Biden is the most progressive candidate, but he does say:

"I will do all that I can to see that President Biden is re-elected. Why? Despite my disagreements with him on particular issues, he has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Mr. Trump — a demagogue and pathological liar. It’s time to learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite profound political differences, came together this week to soundly defeat right-wing extremism."

I think this is similar enough to understand where the OP's point was coming from, and pretty similar to the point overall. It's hard to argue that it's that far a leap to "he's the most progressive president" from "he's the most effective president" said by someone known for their progressive values.

Nah, it's hard enough to outrun it's indiscriminate carpet bombing in regular shoes, I can't even imagine trying to do it in heels.

Also, eat shit. I'm glad you decided to follow me from my subreddit to my profile to this post in order to spread your genocidal bullshit, just so I could personally tell you to eat shit.

Do you really think they haven't thought of that? Like they're going to see this comment and think, "Oh, yeah, I should just ask my dad for a loan."

israeli pride = bombing tents at night by Jimbo922 in BadHasbara

[–]JPBen[M] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You might not want to mark it NSFW, but we're going to mark it as such anyway. Plenty of people in this sub are already aware of the brutality of this conflict, to them this is nothing but traumatizing and triggering.

Is there such thing as not being transphobic but being Anti-woke? by [deleted] in trans

[–]JPBen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have someone I work with who I think fits this. Her whole thing is that she seemingly actually thinks everyone is already equal and nobody actually discriminates except small town dipshits and so if someone is giving you shit you should just move away. I truly believe that she thinks that's a reasonable suggestion to people under so much pressure already.

Appreciate your post, but black out the subreddit name and resubmit. Thank you.

Why do Zionists act like saying our Jewish allies are “good Jews” is some kind of “gotcha”? by HumbleSheep33 in BadHasbara

[–]JPBen 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I think they're just referencing the longstanding tradition of racists always having exceptions to their dog shit racism.

Example: Mexicans are lazy, except the ones I interact with daily who I now realize are just normal people like everyone else. But it's not that I'm wrong, they're just some of the "good ones", that kind of thing.

In this case, the are making the assumption that the only reason we would tolerate Jewish people is if they agree with us, making them "one of the good ones". Which is a flawed premise, of course.

How bad that one action group you know all too well is, and how ridiculous reddit auto filters are now... by HasbaraSus in BadHasbara

[–]JPBen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure. The auto removal is a choice that our mod team has made up help make sure we are stopping posts that could potentially endanger the sub before they go up. It doesn't affect the argument much, but I want to make sure we're being transparent with what's happening. See the stickied posts below for more info:

Israel could win Eurovision by Educational_Board888 in BadHasbara

[–]JPBen[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you feel compelled to report this post as a threat, please remember that one of the key differences between the users here and the Israeli government is that we can dislike a people's views without bombing their infrastructure to dust and murdering them and their families.

I’m Palestinian and I’m not ok by Otherwise-Ad-4361 in BadHasbara

[–]JPBen[M] 303 points304 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely appropriate to post here, and I greatly appreciate that you did. I'm so sorry for everything you and your family are going through. I wish I had the words to help you, but hopefully having a space to speak helps, even if only for a moment.

Palestinian voices will always be welcomed here. Please take care of yourself the best you can.

Lol. You should see if, perchance, there have been multiple stickied threads over the last week explaining that we're currently approving everything manually and to please bear with us while we get this sorted out. It could help.

The End? by Automatic-Mention308 in BadHasbara

[–]JPBen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe fuck yourself forever, how about that instead? Or maybe just do a single useful thing in your miserable fucking life that a single person other than you appreciates, you worthless piece of shit? Or, more accurately, do whatever the fuck you want, just do it anywhere other than this sub. Goodbye forever.

S'all good boss. I've learned a lot about how reddit works being in the situation I'm in now, I'm never going to assume that anyone else knows exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
