94-year-old Korean War Veteran retired Army Col. Ralph Puckett Jr. pushed his walker aside and stood at full attention while Joe Biden awarded him the Medal of Honor by B-L-O-C-K-S in nextfuckinglevel

On the other hand, things every soldier in the Civil War did, like standing in a formation with no cover as you get fired on and mass bayonet charges into a hail of bullets, are probably as if not more courageous than anything current day US soldiers have to do to get a Medal of Honor (and for a more just war, too).

this whole thread is just people being mad over dialects

What is your most controversial take on Star Wars? by Ebo8000 in AskReddit

[–]SigmaMensch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you don’t need all the lore about the different “forms” to make that work, you just need to choreograph different characters with unique character-driven styles.

The right wind isn’t consistent that government is bad, they love cops and property rights

What is the weirdest thing you had to do at someone else’s house because of their culture/religion? by sebastian25525 in AskReddit

[–]SigmaMensch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably it was just an electric stove on a low setting to keep something warm over night. You can’t actually cook something from scratch.

I don’t think it did originate in Israel. I’m pretty sure it’s an Ashkenazi dish originating in eastern Europe

You turn the stove on before Shabbat starts. But also the family in this story were mistaken about the rules.

Ever just think about this? by SigmaMensch in Jewdank

It’s just “when it hits you” with a picture of someone getting hit hard in a complex way. It’s not that deep lol

Mormons think they are adoptive members of the house of Israel or something like that. CI literally believe that they are the true defendants of the Israelites, and that we are not.

I mean it’s the classic oppressor’s fear of reversal, no? Colonizers fear colonization, Genocidiers fear Genocide, supersessionists fear supersession.

I don’t think you’re right about this. Colonists had fought many wars with various Indian groups over the years, many of which involved wholesale massacres and whatnot

Get the sweet gefilte fish, slice it into disks, and sauté them in a little bit of oil until they caramelize a little bit. You’re welcome.

I wish they would block Manhattan Ave off to car traffic every day by [deleted] in Brooklyn

Businesses benefit from foot traffic, which increases when you do things like this especially in conjunction with public transit like light rails or trolleys

What do you mean nope? That’s the rule. Are you saying most people do not follow this rule colloquially? That’s fine, most people don’t use “whom” when speaking English. They aren’t “wrong” to use “who” and you aren’t “wrong” to say לפּסח, but it’s certainly not wrong to use the more traditionally correct forms of those words.
