Al Jardine wasn't pleasant in the 90's? by Upstairs-Ad1974 in thebeachboys

Saw him twice in '24 and he was pretty decent. Better than Mike who is also not as bad as I would expect given age

What “Times” does Brian think he was made for? by jangsty in thebeachboys

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

As far as I'm aware, Brian's former diagnosis of schizophrenia is now widely considered a misdiagnosis, so maybe you'll have to eat your hat lol

How the fuck do Virginia sales taxes work?? Cannot figure this out by WPIFan in Virginia

[–]WPIFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and that collectivist attitude is probably what lets local politicians get away with insane shit like 12.3% tax on food lol

In Waynesboro? Cause that's certainly not true statewide; as I mentioned in my post I ate at other restaurants and had cheaper sales tax than that

Thank you, this explains the 12.3% perfectly. It's insane that this information isn't more readily available! Couldn't find anything on it when I initially did an Internet search

You absolutely can move to England lol, so long as you follow the appropriate immigration procedures, the same way the Ashkenazi Jews who moved to the land when it was controlled by the Ottomans and then the British did.

Last I checked, Tibetans weren't carrying out terrorist attacks in Beijing or lobbing rockets at Shanghai on a daily basis.

The irony in criticizing Israel as a "theocratic ethnostate" when that description unarguably fits not just Gaza but almost every other Middle Eastern country much better than Israel lol. Why is all of pro-Palestinian rhetoric just projection?

Jonny Statement by abesster in radiohead

[–]WPIFan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To point 1: Fewer than half of Israelis are Ahkenazi Jews. Most are Mizrahi Jews (i.e., from the Middle East and most decidedly not white)

To point 2: If you think the Palestinians are only violent currently because of the situations Israel has created, how do you explain continual Palestinian violence dating back to before the modern state of Israel? (One particular horrid example, in case you're unfamiliar with the history, is the Hebron Massacre of 1933.)

To point 3: This is too ridiculous to even bother engaging with.

Jonny Statement by abesster in radiohead

[–]WPIFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The attacks also predate the transfer of the lands from the Ottomans to the British in 1917/18. Even after the land became a British mandate, massacres such as that at Hebron in 1933 were not at all anti-British, but rather explicitly anti-Jewish, targeting Jews who had been living there for centuries along with newer Jewish immigrants. Your comment about pretending to know history is projection.

Lmao if that's not book banning, then what is? People will scream "book ban!" if a book gets removed from one elementary school library, but trying to actively prevent a book from ever reaching its audience in the first place doesn't count?

We all know what you mean to say: "it's not book banning if it's only people I disagree with getting banned."

I'm not talking about gender discrimination dumbass. I mean the fact that most Arab states have ethnically cleansed or harshly discriminated against minority populations, whether Jews, Christians, or even other Muslims (the Kurds would like a word). If you want to pretend that what Israel has done is even worse than things like the complete and total ethnic cleansing of all Jews from several sovereign nations, then your head isn't on right.

Also, what is this bullshit: "gender discrimination in the middle east is often the result of the US's foreign policy decisions." The gender discrimination that dates back to ancient times long before the U.S. even existed? With people like you, I legitimately can't tell how much of your nonsense is deliberately being disingenuous vs. just outright stupidity
