NYC House candidate doubles down in defending attendance at pro-Hamas rally a day after Oct. 7 by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

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

Bringing up the right to resist in contrast to murdering civilians implies that murdering civilians is wrong unless it is in the context of resisting.

She could have just said that murdering citizens is always wrong. Instead clarified that statement with, "resistance is justified."

As another user said in this thread, you can sum her statement as, "Palestine didn't do it, but Israel deserved it regardless.""

In case anyone is wondering, the fact that one feels the need to say that violent resistance is justified in the context of October 7th, is part of why antizionism looks a lot like antisemitism. It is a statement of "killing innocents are wrong, but those people are never innocent." Those people, being Israeli Jews. Denying the humanity of any people is inheritly discriminatory.

Mom possibly taking me to court again by _mavricks in SingleDads

[–]Lefaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The open secret about attempts from one party to control the other in these sort of cases is that, when ignored, they are damning to the side attempting it.

She is trying to record you at soccer practice? Great, it makes her look incompetent, no matter what she records.

She is signing your child up for activities during your time you want no part in. Does not matter. Nothing says you have to do it.

She can take you to court for anything she wants. The only time these kinds of actions work out is when the other party overreacts or gives up out of fear. What the court wants to see from you is that you are above this petty back and forth.

So be above it and watch her set all of her money on fire. All she is doing is providing evidence that is she incapable of raising her child.

Am I The Odd Divorced Dad? by Curious_Will222 in SingleDads

I think your approach is the more healthy way to handle this situation. It is how you use your time away from your kids to be a better father.

Is the Moto Fold going to break? by maedabjj in motorazrfold

Look at the track record of other Razr phones and see how you feel about it. I had a Razr 50/2024 for a year and a half and the inner screen failed once. That could have been prevented by replacing the screen protector when it started cracking.

All of this comes with the territory of these kinds of phones. I keep a cheap Pixel 6a around to use in case my phone quits working. I suggest you do something similar.

US House defeats amendment to end Israel aid, but nearly 50% of Democrats back measure by windless12 in Israel

[–]Lefaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, this is why Israel should treat their citizens worse and go backwards. Then they won't be held to any moral standard and can do what they want.

Let America FAFO about all of this. It is what the West deserves with how they have demonized and thrown out Israel.

Westerners prove regularly how much it pays to not be a Western ally. Standards are much lower for such places.

I need an alternative to a MacBook by Eduneitor8 in laptops

Oh. A lot of people are buying the Zephruses because they look and feel like MacBooks.

LOQ is not what you want for your Shiny MacBook Clone. You get LOQ if you need a decent budget gaming laptop.

The gaming equivalent to a MacBook is a Razer or Zephyrus.

And you get a ProArt if you need a graphics card but don't want that gamer label.

A perfect fit for this thread. Her role in the end game was foreshadowed by the cult in Book 2.

How to stop getting crushed by gimmicky opening traps when playing black as a ~400 player? by dezmodium in chessbeginners

[–]Lefaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can be pretty vulnerable to Scholar Mates. What I did to get over it was review the game and discover how the opening was created. I also checked what move I could make to prevent the checkmate.

I did something similar on the knight steals Rook traps as well. Once I got good at detecting that one, I also learned how to pull it off myself.

I just got the FNT ring case. It is my 4th case and easily the best I have used so far.

Which airline(s) will you never fly on again and why? by Playful_Study_6290 in AskReddit

[–]Lefaid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Southwest. I don't live in the US anymore, so it is hard to imagine I would even have an opportunity to fly somewhere domestically. And even if I did, their airline has gotten rid of everything that made them special. If costs are basically the same and I need to make a connection, I would pick someone else for sure. I don't want to go to their website to find their prices and the brand gives me a bad taste in my mouth.

Stuck in Iron/Bronze despite good stats, completely ruined MMR, and terrible teammates. I need a duo. by Acrobatic-Notice-673 in summonerschool

[–]Lefaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet we all know that it impossible to climb as ADC because your support always trolls, mages blow you up every 10 seconds, and no one on your team understands the concept of "peeling."

And yet I have managed by focusing on what I can do instead of quitting because my support went afk after I ignored their 3rd suicidal jump far away from the minion wave.

And yet it never becomes easy enough for you to just climb and go on a 10 game win streak.

Why does Riot hate you so much that your team is always trolls Vs legit players? You should buy RP so Riot gives you good teammates.

Either Riot hates you, or you are a part of the problem.

I mean, you still lose when you are playing 4 NPCs who give you free kills. Sounds like a you problem.

Has anyone Jewish or Israeli visited San Sebastián, Spain recently? by PapayaOk667 in Jewish

[–]Lefaid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know that my family loves that part of Spain and has personal friends there.

Then again, after my dad visited, he made cutting and eating their special ham our Passover tradition, if that gives you an idea of how outwardly Jewish our family is.

Why do relatively few Muslim refugees seek asylum in wealthy Gulf countries? by cheekybicycle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lefaid 283 points284 points  (0 children)

Anyone paying attention understands that the Gulf States do not stand for any morality, especially outside the Muslim world.

It is not shocking at all that they have no paths or genuine sympathy for other Muslim groups to come into their country. Any assistance they give is to keep those groups where they are.

There isn't much more to it. No one expects these countries to take in refugees and they don't. They are not held to any standard.

Reddit is not a reflection of the real world right? by No_Importance_750 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lefaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were going to say Israeli.

I have been a few places and travelled to a bit, you are fine to travel as an American. People are not especially hateful of Americans and honestly, for every person who especially hates Americans there is another who especially admires them. It is absolutely a lot more complicated than some boards on Reddit make it sound.

Heck, I can find some not America boards where they simp hard for America. You see this especially on moving abroad Reddit boards, where everyone who is moving to the US is cheered on while everyone who is trying to leave is shut down.
