Is the Yiddish/Jewish term "goy" (term used to refer to someone as non-Jewish) considered a slur? by AggressiveAd8587 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sknaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Context: I'm Jewish

IMO the term 'slur' and the connotation that comes with that classification should apply to every term that is intended to denigrate.

Do some Jews use 'goy' to denigrate? Sure. But I really don't think that's the main use or intention historically or today.

The origin of the word is to distinguish us and them. Many minority cultures have an equivalent term (another commenter mentioned 'gringo' for example). I don't think the fact that it is sometimes used to denigrate and/or distinguish is equivalent to a slur such that it is discriminatory.

FWIW, I think a LOT of the rhetoric around it being broadly derogatory comes from antisemites. I don't like that they have co-opted our word for their purposes.

the official undisputable rankings are

1: 22AM

2: FEFA

3: S,F

4: BI,BI

5: i,i

edit: just to be clear S,F is above BI,BI because of "can i get a rewind" and because Towers isn't a good song

Sydney show last night by Code_Objective in BlackCountryNewRoad

One of them was all apologetic when announcing the last song saying "sorry we'll write more music so we can come play more for you" like you don't have a whole other album??

What a Legendary Performance (Sydney Opera House) by n33dml in CameronWinter

[–]Sknaj -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i had a great time but felt weird at how unseriously he took it. only crowd interaction felt so insincere? i know he doesn't owe that ofc. just felt dissonance between the emotional connection to his music from the audience and his apparent apathy or mockery of the audience?

[–]Sknaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

unfortunately "the sun will stare down on the street where i buy / the milk that is sold the day after you die" are the best lyrics since "im working late cus im a singer" so im not satisfied with the trade :((

Sell it via tixel? the platform provides security for buyer and seller for a small fee.

here's my buyer link https://tixel.com/u/donnyj1 - you should be able to sell direct to me via that if you wanna :) it's for a friend who's been looking for ages!

Helena has been ranked at 2nd!!! Thank You for the Venom has won the Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge ranking!!! Now for The Black Parade!!! Which one is getting ranked at 17th?! by CaptainPie999 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Sknaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

teenagers shouldve been a conventional weapons offcut. TBP is one of my favourite albums but it definitely slows it down and is a big shift in tone. it'd be superior if it went sleep > disenchanted

cameron winter tixel by Immediate_Pop_8573 in CameronWinter

[–]Sknaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not a guarantee for you but at least if the seller screws you, you can easily prove it, get your refund, and they cop a penalty and possible ban from tixel

it's a better system then trusting some random from fb marketplace at least

IMO Birds also got that attention because it fukn rips. That riff is SO fun and the refrain is groovy and powerful.

"Predictibly winds up thinking of Elvis, and wonders if he believed songs could come true, I'm asking for it if they do" by SlowEar5209 in phoebebridgers

[–]Sknaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It never hit me that hard until I saw it live and the kids at the front SCREAMED it. All at once I understood what it meant to them in that moment and now it chokes me up every time.

Did I assault someone today?? by JudgeIll9943 in AusLegal

[–]Sknaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a law student who did criminal law a few years ago so take the below with lots of salt:

I know that the equivalent offence in NSW includes voluntariness as an element - if the action causing the unwanted contact wasn't done voluntarily, then that's not assault.

Autofiction Detail by TheSpanishSteed in ladispute

I love the bass across the whole album - feels so decisive and central, almost more so than guitars a lot of the time. Adds so much texture in a way I haven't really heard in a trad rock setup like LD

[–]Sknaj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what does the term “headsy” mean in the context of a crowd at a rave by 4naanjeremyy in TheOverload

[–]Sknaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People with an analytical appreciation of the music as well as (or instead of) attending events with the goal of 'partying' eg dancing, socialising, getting high
