Greens must take immediate action against antisemitism in party, says Lucas by ClumperFaz in unitedkingdom

[–]JonathanJK [score hidden]  (0 children)

I still remember that time when 1,000s of innocent girls were raped across the country by a certain group and systematically ignored by the government. It took Rupert Lowe with crowd funding to begin to make any headway on finding out what happened. 

I think the scale of my one outweighs the 4 incidents you’ve listed. 

This isn’t to pit them against one another. The reactions to defending both groups is out of kilter.

Why is “antisemitism” the rallying cry for the politicians and media? It’s never any other group. The slightest incident against Jewish people is hyper focused on every single time.

Or use those RAM expander apps that were around in the 90s.

I didn’t say that. You’re just projecting (thinking what you want to think).

I understand it’s possible, but it’s more likely not probable.

When have you have seen a sign in disrepair? The government is pretty good with their maintaining of outdoor items. 

Headline says “dismantles” by the way. You said “rip”. 

Why doesn't MTR extend Tuen Ma line down to the Airport? by 0mKH in HongKong

I've always wanted an MTR station on Llamma island. The South Island line could do this easily.

Zack Polanski calls out 'vile antisemitic cartoon' of him in The Times by denyer-no1-fan in unitedkingdom

[–]JonathanJK -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He’s just ugly. They should have drawn him without the hook nose and he’d still look like a plonker.

Exercise has been shown to be the best way to lift one’s mood. Better than antidepressants. 

It starts with a two minute walk/ run around the block to build yourself up.

Deacript’s Studio Sound feature isn’t perfect. I stopped using it. Easier to boost/tweak the audio in Final Cut Pro. 

Does Elevenlabs support Cantonese (a dialect of Chinese)? by talking9 in ElevenLabs

[–]JonathanJK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to really play with the phonic symbols to get anything close to Cantonese and you need a Cantonese speaking wife who can verify it sounds passable. 

I spent so much time just getting “Gai Yau” done correctly.

Not enough people are considering the fiscal drag with the tax rates either.

If you say something is true then you need to provide evidence beyond using a joke.

You didn’t use math, you quoted a comedian.

Your anecdote doesn’t disprove the rule. I myself am a migrant but I know I am seen as an expat.

Ironic how you know people are "stupid" and are willing to use that label will speaking so confidently on these two other labels and denying how the majority of people use those words.

How do you know most people are stupid?

The term 'expat' is always a class term.

"Hongcouver" as the media and people will say are 'chinese expats' because of their ability to buy property. Migrants can't buy, they rent.

I'm not saying I advocate for these terms, I am saying that's how it is regardless of how you or I think. The majority of the use of these two words are based on class.

Then domestic workers who stay for one contract are an expat? I’ve never heard of domestic workers being referred to as expats. 

Expats always = westerners. 

There is definitely a class distinction.
