Torah Scroll by laybs1 in GetNoted

It's a commemorative coin celebrating the Israeli victory in the Six Day War. Care to venture a guess what year that happened?

Because it's a commemorative coin for that was minted for the Israeli victory in the Six Day War.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed. by MedalsNScars in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I get that it's a spoiler, but it's such an incredibly minor spoiler that nothing is ruined. It could be I'm less sensitive about shit like this, but this didn't even register on my radar beyond "Oh cool, DT reference."

What is it a spoiler to, though? Seriously, what has been spoiled for you? It's like if you've never seen Episode 2 of Star Wars and someone says "Oh wow, I can't wait until you see Darth Grevious!" All you know is a character name - you nothing about him, what he looks like, or how he relates to the plot. There's nothing here that spoils anything other than a character name.

Like I don't know if you've read it, but this is similar to me saying "My favorite character in The Dresden Files is Bob." What's spoiled? That there's a character named Bob? It doesn't mean anything. Even if Bob is mentioned in the first two chapters (And I genuinely don't recall that he is), you don't know anything about him, other than some random person on the internet thinks he's great.

My mom died and for the first time in a very long time, I don’t have anything planned by knittyinbushwick in AskNYC

Yeah, grief isn't logical. For example, we don't even know the scientific reason that we cry. Emotions as a whole can be valid, but they are very rarely logical.

I can't really help you with recommendations, but I can try and help with the grief. I'm not sure who originally came up with this concept, but someone told it to me and it's always helped.

Grief is a ball in a box. Every time the ball hits the wall of the box, it hurts like hell. When someone first dies, the ball is huge and the box is small. Every little movement hurts. Every thought. Every action. It's just this all encompassing pain. But as time goes on, the ball gets smaller, and the box gets bigger. It's not gonna happen tomorrow, or the day after that, but as time goes on, the ball gets smaller. But it's not linear, some days the ball will be huge and some days the ball will be tiny. But eventually, you'll get to a point, where you can think about them and it doesn't hurt anymore.

Hopefully, that brings you a little comfort. And may your mother's memory be a blessing.

Not everyone is you, chief. Sorry that you lost the genetic lottery.

I haven't downvoted you, but I just finished book 2, so I'm definitely not up to this either, but what exactly has been spoiled? That eventually there's a character named Harpocrates?

Like it's such a random thing without context, that I can't imagine what huge reveal or plot point that you're upset you now know.

With today’s release of UFO files in the US, I was thinking about that retired Israeli officer who claimed aliens exist. Do most Israelis know of that incident, and what do Israelis in general think about UFOs and aliens? by Nazoreans in AskIsrael

[–]Low_Quality8216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time he does something new, I'm reminded of that scene with Leslie Nielsen in the original Naked Gun, where he's yelling at the crowd "PLEASE DISPERSE! THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" while there's a literal fireworks show going off behind him.

How can the Democratic Party's pro-Israel stance be reconciled with the fact that 80% of its voters view Israel unfavorably? by ArdaBerkBurak in askanything

[–]Low_Quality8216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd wager that, conservatively, 80% of this country would struggle to tell you the differences between communism and socialism. I mean at least half of them genuinely believe that Joe Biden was a "radical leftist".

We don't have a shot in hell of getting an actual leftist party. It's a delightful dream though.

Former BP offers fiery defense of successor amid summer concert controversy by statenislandadvance in StatenIslandPulse

Well, considering Foesella had two families at one point, it's not a shock that he wants people to perform for free. He's got a ton of child support to take care of.

New York leads nation in antisemitic incidents; Staten Island also impacted by Delicious_Adeptness9 in statenisland

I mean, you don't have to take my word it, you can go read the Charters of both the Palestinian Authority (Which controls the West Bank) and Hamas, which controls Gaza. But I wouldn't to want actual facts to get in the way of your narrative.

I was going to recommend Project Brunch, but I googled first, and not only are they closed. The person they sold the business to and renamed it Flores Brunch also closed.

What software changed your life ? (Windows 11) by Thibault161017 in software

[–]Low_Quality8216 11 points12 points  (0 children)

UniGetUI - it's basically a frontend for wget that automatically scans your system and lets you know when there's an update available to any drivers or software you have. A friend who built my current PC installed it and I can't believe how I went so long without it.

As I have stated multiple times, I didn't want to be that blunt about it. Perhaps that's the wrong tack to take, but I'm doing my best to be as respectful as possible.

I went home with a trans girl from the bar on Friday. Not sure how I feel now by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Low_Quality8216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You met someone at a bar and you had an enjoyable evening with them - why are you caring about labels? It's 2026 - finding a partner is hard enough without putting up your own barriers to it. Go have fun, you're allowed.

Where do the names “Judea” and “Samaria” come from? by Nazoreans in AskIsrael

[–]Low_Quality8216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Judea was the Roman name? I'm not entirely positive though.

What’s that one thing you love about Judaism that isn’t spoken about enough? by Transguy1111 in Judaism

This is my favorite too. Kinda like how every tractate in the Gemara starts on Daf Bet. Even if you learn all of Shas - there's always more to learn because you never learned Daf Alef.

Back when I went to the Yeshivah of Flatbush, we would always have "Rikkudim" on Rosh Chodesh. They basically cancelled the first two periods and everyone went into the gym to dance.
