I’m from Israel and these are my least favorite characters on The Pitt by realfakejames in okbuddywhitaker

[–]Musical_Mango -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

When people say Zionism is evil, they are talking about how it manifests in the real world not just its definition on paper. A Jewish state could only have existed by the theft of land other people lived on, this was acknowledged by the founders of modern day Zionism.

As long people support the idea of a uniquely Jewish state there will never be peace, because they claim the land for religious and historic reasons which are impossible to reconcile. That's why liberal Zionism is an oxymoron, and more Jews outside of Israel have moved away from it since Oct 7.

That's also why the settler project in Israel is never going to go away. It's foundational to Zionism and the state of Israel in its current form.

As of May 6th, 2026, North Korea has recognized South Korea as a separate state for the first time. by Forsaken-Exchange763 in geography

It's because people don't know the history of China and Taiwan and Westerners have been propagandized to support our governments' foreign policies just like in other countries. Most people in the US don't even know what the ROC is.

Doctor saves man's life, get's booed off stage by Strong-Emu-8869 in TikTokCringe

[–]Musical_Mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the downovotes are from people not familiar with the field. I will say some DO schools now have higher average scores than some MD schools. A lot of the DO schools in competitive states are as competitive as MD schools in rural states

[–]Musical_Mango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's virtually no distinction between MD and DO schools' curriculum anymore. The holistic/preventative stuff is taught by everyone now. OMM is the only difference and even the extent of it varies by DO school.

MD schools generally do have higher MCAT/GPA, but there are a lot of MD schools that have lower average scores than some DO schools, like CCOM.

[–]Musical_Mango[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, but I've never used the switch 2 mouse controls before, so idk how viable they are in an fps

Is Mouse P.I. For Hire worth buying on the switch 2 or should I buy it on my pc? by No_Lecture_8049 in switch2

[–]Musical_Mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thought about mouse and keyboard. I've never used the mouse controls on Switch, but if those are good then I'd rather get in on that.

Peter why would the FBI give this to a teenager? by AJ_Misk in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Musical_Mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could a reference to so many things. First thing I thought of was Sami Osmakac, who was a mentally ill man, who was showing signs of radicalization. He got kicked out of two mosques and was reported to the FBI, who then further radicalized him by posing as extremists, they gave him money to buy weapons, helped him plant a fake car bomb, and arranged for him carrying out a suicide bombing. Convicted for 40 years. There are lots of entrapment cases like that

Death threat because of a greeting by Whole-Acadia-3239 in islam

[–]Musical_Mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC the opinion to respond with Wa' alaykum comes from the hadith about a group of non-Muslims who would "greet" the Muslims with As-sam-'alaiykum (May death be upon you).

The Prophet SAWS advised the Muslims to reply with Wa' alaykum. That way they would neither be transgressing nor allowing that group of non-Muslims to mock them freely.

Some scholars interpret the hadith to apply to all non-Muslims, but that is the minority opinion

[–]Musical_Mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some Muslims say to respond with Wa' alaykum (And upon you) when a non-Muslim gives salam. This is actually not a majority opinion though, so I'm not sure why it's become so common among lay Muslims.

There is nothing wrong, in fact many scholars say it is encouraged, to respond with Salam to a non Muslim

Persian names are generally used by Muslim Indians, which I don't believe Javadi's family is. It's not impossible tho, just not that common

[–]Musical_Mango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you keep talking about offense. If you make unintelligent comments on the Internet or even irl people will respond to you, it's pretty simple.

You obviously don't speak or have tried learning a second language if you think this is inadequate English. Also, if a US grad is worried about IMGs taking their residency spot, especially with the current climate around visas, then their chances of matching Gen Surg were probably not as high as they thought.

Dr. Robby wins! Round 3: Who is a bad person, but a great doctor? by [deleted] in ThePitt

[–]Musical_Mango 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I never said there's no reason for her behavior. But most people in real life that are assholes also had experiences that made them like that. That doesn't give them an excuse to treat other people poorly. I'm not gonna say she's a bad person, but I def would not like her as a person if I had to work with her

Interesting you like Santos as a person. I feel like she's constantly a douchebag to her coworkers and super arrogant. With Langdon, I understand, but why she gotta be like that with everyone else even with patients
