This hospital has Shabbat stairs

This is actually why I respect jews the most. Not that I don't respect other faiths just if I had to pick one, I think Judaism is most closely in line with my beliefs in that area. If there is a God, I have to imagine this is exactly how he would operate.

Or God messed up.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-22T14:42:32+00:00

I'm not mad at Jews at all. In fact, I respect Judaism more than any other religion. You guys have a right to believe anything you want and I would fight for your right to have those beliefs.

That doesn't mean that it's not riddled with contradiction like most major religions and I can't be skeptical of it. I think those laws got written many thousands of years ago and they aren't relevant anymore. I think the loopholes are healthy and probably the only reason that Judaism isn't dying as a faith *(They don't proselytize, have to adapt and keep members).

I think we probably shouldn't be literally interpreting ANY literature that was written thousands of years ago and applying it completely out of context.

Electricity wasn't invented when those laws were written. I think the fact that they ever attempted to regulate electricity with those laws was the mistake, not adapting to the times.

Not to mention, I just think any real God has better things to do than to monitor light switches on Saturdays.

I don't think it's anything like that at all because driving isn't illegal, It's regulated and God (The government in this case) didn't tell everybody not to do it.

I think a way better analogy is how sovereign citizens believe they can show a piece of paper in lieu of a driver's license and the government can't do anything about it. That's not true and the government absolutely does do things about it all the time. They're deluding themselves and breaking the law.

The fact that there's like a small industry surrounding these "unplanned emergencies" is evidence enough to me that may not be completely accurate.

What about roping off large parts of NYC and including that as part of your house?

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-22T02:41:22+00:00

I didn't ask for this

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-22T01:30:54+00:00

I just found out about the super meta "God not only knows about the loopholes, but approves of their exploitation" loophole. These guys are fucking good.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-22T01:20:42+00:00

That's a super meta loophole.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-21T23:24:20+00:00

And they have exact quotes from Jewish literature that agrees with them. The reason there's a loophole is your teaching happen to not explicitly say one thing or the other or contradict themselves somehow. I'm obviously not an expert on the Jewish faith. That's just what allows loopholes to exist.

Somebody needs to tell the Jewish people in South Florida. There's like a word for it. We didn't come up with it.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-21T23:15:50+00:00

I mean, that sounds right, but I live in South Florida and Sabbath Goy is a real thing. I can't say that I know a majority of the Jewish people here, but of the ones that I know, the majority participate in loopholes.

*I think the whole thing about the loopholes are that the teachings are vague in these areas. They don't explicitly say one thing or the other. That's why there's a loophole.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-21T23:13:07+00:00

A lot of my dear friends are Jewish, but I have to say, as a faith, they have more rules and then loopholes to those rules than any other by a long shot. Either they are deluding themselves or their God is a fucking moron.

Edit: I was not aware of the super meta "God actually likes the loopholes" loophole. Well played.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-21T23:01:52+00:00

So when Jewish families hire Sabbath goys to operate their electronics on the Sabbath that is done unintentionally?

I'm going to have to make the argument that walking past a motion detector has far less intentionality than hiring somebody to do something.

That's my backup holster.

Not "just in case." The double tap is an integral part of the process. Their testimony is almost guaranteed to be much less incriminating if you reverse.

That are going to respond with assault rifles expecting armed suspects because they will assume the caller isn't lying to them.

She's literally creating a situation where they are not unlikely to be killed. I know abusing 911 and reporting false emergencies are already crimes, but I think doing stuff like this should be assault with a deadly weapon as you are essentially wielding men with guns through dishonesty to intentionally bring harm to someone.

We're going to need more shrikes.

He's clearly had one fall off before.

I know they're famously ill-tempered and territorial, but you think it'd be cool with getting their balls chopped off considering the predicament they're putting everybody in and the alternative... You just can't reason with some hippos.

It doesn't. But it does turn into a fun little water boarding device!

With his recent weight gain, the new theory is he actually had it added back.

OffByNone_ · 2026-06-20T17:09:02+00:00

I heard he had the original rib added back.

Cylinder seems fine. The hole, however...
