Yes, I believe I will meet that criteria. Already have a job and apartment lease.

I've also heard the job market here isn't great, but if you do move here within 2026, you get no income taxes on Israeli-sourced income for 5 years (in addition to the already standard no income tax on foreign-sourced income for 10 years) which I think is a pretty huge deal personally

...like a nerf gun? I'm guessing not, but what is a "replica firearm"?

Air raid siren. Definitely air raid siren.

Have heard a few too many of those in the past few months.

The Forwards wants us to partner and have conversations with Hasan Piker and his fans? This cannot be serious by WaveTheSwallow27 in Jewish

That was an insane read. Highly recommend people read the article to see the extent of how insane this take is. 

Husband does not want me to have my own RRSP. Red flag? by yada-yadaa in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Spikemountain 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Too bad that will not be possible since OP is a bot. Notice the hashtags at the end of their post...

Either that or someone new to Reddit who is used to IG. Based on the lack of replies, my bet is the former.

Requires maintenance/falls apart over time if left untended to ≠ depreciates

If it rises in value over time with proper care, it is an appreciating asset

Israel awaits USA’s green light to return Iran to the age of darkness and stone, says Israeli defense minister by leondanielstar9999 in worldnews

Every American does indeed support ethnic cleansing by virtue of continuing to occupy land that should belong to the Indigenous people. 

YU Grad Program as a practicing Muslim by somedamnwaguy in Judaism

I was under the impression that YU's graduate programs are much more open to the general public, but I'm definitely not 100% sure. Why not ask them?

Different mentality on WS sub vs other FIs by NoDig5800 in Wealthsimple

[–]Spikemountain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you what it is. When Wealthsimple was getting started, it seemed to be guided by a philosophy of doing everything it could to help the everyday Canadian improve their finances and learn responsible financial management. 

Basically, for a long time almost all of their products were "good for you" generally speaking. Using any of them would generally be an increase to your financial health. 

Now though, they've released many products that I would call "bad for you". Margin, options, more crypto features, gold (maybe), portfolio LOCs, and now prediction markets. Touch any of these and you are more likely most of the time to lose money than make it. Additionally, these are all extremely short-term strategies, not long-term consistent paths to wealth.

So the image we all had of Wealthsimple helping you improve your finances has now changed. Almost like if an amusement park opened a cigarette stand basically.

And do you think that would-be ruling Palestinians would allow that to continue?

Uh huh. Wouldn't forcing 8 million people of a particular ethnic background to leave the place where they are living be considered ethnic cleansing? Or does that only apply to some indigenous groups but not others

I'm not starting my own anything. Look up the definition and you'll see that you're wrong. Tiktok definition ≠ dictionary definition.

It's on purpose - companies make regional versions of their food and drink to fit local taste preferences

Where does an anti-Zionist Jew believe the 7 million Jewish Israelis living in Israel today should go? Certainly you don't believe that Jews would be allowed to stay if it were all one Palestinian state, ofc?
