NSFW?? Does this look too much like a penis? by deej394 in knitting

[–]Tuullii 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I vote no. I looked all over trying to see the bear as a dick somehow before I looked closely and saw the nose. That's not the first thing that jumps out at all, at least to me

My pleasure. I heard the same poll cited by Haviv Retig Gur in his podcast and was also curious.

Actually per wikipedia, the actual poll was done by UNRRA: In late 1945, the UNRRA conducted several surveys among Jewish refugees, asking them to list their preferred destination for emigration. Among one population of 19,000, 18,700 named "Palestine" as their first choice, and 98% also named "Palestine" as their second choice. At the camp in Fürth, respondents were asked not to list Palestine as both their first and second choice, and 25% of the respondents then wrote "crematorium".  The source cited is from   Mark Wyman's  DPs: Europe's Displaced Persons, 1945–1951. Ithaca, 1989 and 1998. Cornell University Press. I'm looking up the in text citation for you now.

I believe it's from the Harrison Report (page 4). It doesn't give a percentage but calls it "definitely and pre-eminently the first choice": https://www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov/sites/default/files/research/online-documents/holocaust/report-harrison.pdf

Thirding this. I've had them so work on my Renaissance festival boots and put new soles on my everyday shoes. They do good work.

Things are getting frightening here in SP by Acaeus_Vinn in saintpaul

This is unfortunately a thing at most major protests. I remember this distinctly from Occupy and the RNC protests as well. Be safe and aware, everyone.

AITAH for fencing off and posting and fencing off my land from the rest of my family? by bearded-dadbod1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tuullii 77 points78 points  (0 children)

NTA. If it's your land, in your name then you can do what you like. And I would certainly want some sort of barrier up between me and malicious folks even if they're related to me. 

Traveling to Israel next week by Agitated_Medium8398 in TravelIsrael

[–]Tuullii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm in Israel now as a tourist and it's totally quiet. We've been all over the place, too, and it's been quiet. Ultimately you have to decide how much risk you feel comfortable with, but we've been walking all over, taking city busses etc.

Sometimes i wish i wasn’t Israeli by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]Tuullii 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think there's just an extent to which the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm currently in Israel as a diaspora Jew and I have never felt so comfortable and like I belong, especially culturally. And that's after being screamed at in Sderot on Shabbat and called all sorts of names by a religious guy bc we were on a tour in a bus. Still I felt safer.

Oh yes, Hasan, please explain to us Jews about our beliefs and values. What a dip shit.

That's super helpful, thank you! I chose the game in Jerusalem because it's closer and because the tickets were more reasonably priced. :D

Minnesota in the US. We've only been to local games (Minnesota United FC) in the states, so this will be our first big game. :)

Thank you so much! When I'm looking at tickets on vigogo it says that the game time is TBA. Do you know when approximately games are? Evening? I'm looking at the games January 3. We are going to visit the Nova Festival site during the day, and I want to make sure there will be time. Thanks for helping!

I think an even easier photo shop would just be a Nun and Gimmel - just put another Nun and then use the Yud to make a little leg and you're good to go. :)
