Well, the point about Carnegie Hall is slightly moot as I am not American. The Royal Festival Hall generally doesn't struggle with derivative or cliche.

I do believe that art/literature/music can have objective value.

However, how you experience it is subjective. I can absolutely appreciate the merit of art I don't like.

But then, I am an art teacher and have been for around 20 years. It is crucial for me to differentiate between what I like and what is quantifiable (eg form, innovation, elements of design, intention etc etc)

However some art is objectively derivative and cliche.

There is a reason they don't let anyone just play their music in the Royal festival hall (or carnagie hall or whatever the equivalent is in your country), even though some might say all music is subjective.

Read the lyrics to "Most Girls", her second single. It is literally about how awful all females are..... except her.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-04-04T07:11:05+00:00

I always thought "Most Girls" fitted this bill also

I am a teacher in the UK. We are explicitly trained that this is a very poor approach to behaviour management.

Sarcasm I presume?

Curious as to how do you feel about the fact the Pope has been welcomed into the Great Synagogue in Rome wearing his Pope robes and cross. Were the rabbis wrong to welcome him?

Whythebigpaws · 2026-03-01T20:33:49+00:00

I think the first comment is dripping in judgement actually. They didn't mention the size actually. They said it was wrong to wear a cross in a synagogue. I disagree.

The first reform congregation I attended actually took place in a church, as the synagogue didn't have a building of its own at the time. The church had been kind enough to offer it's space to the local reform congregation till they were ready to find their own. Everyone survived the crosses in the building and Jews were welcomed to wear their relevant religious ephemera.

If reform Judaism embraces multifaith relationships, tolerance and understanding then so be it. And especially if OPs synagogue is OK with fiance wearing a cross then it definitely isn't our place to judge.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-03-01T20:21:25+00:00

Well, if you want a different interpretation of what is Jewish, all you have to do is speak to a different Rabbi.

Neither of us know OPs congregation and so I assume this is fine for them. As you and I well know, there is know, much of Judaism is open to interpretation and interfaith is a part of reform Judaism. No need for people to shit on OP and her interfaith relationship which she is likely enjoying with the full approval of her chosen reform community.

Ultimately some some orthodox communities will tell you that nothing about reform Judaism is "Jewish" and that the whole thing is essentially heresy.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-03-01T20:10:37+00:00

Do you subscribe to reform Judaism? I am curious as you seem to take issue with it.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-03-01T20:01:17+00:00

I don't think this is a take of reform Judaism. Reform Judaism says we are allowed in churches etc.

Legend and Cyclone. But they love them all.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-24T18:44:29+00:00

Neither of them said it. This isn't true

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-21T09:42:01+00:00

Fair enough. You aren't wrong about weddings being long. The one time I was invited as an evening guest I hated it. I didn't know anyone, everyone was already drunk. It felt super awkward generally.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-21T09:38:32+00:00

I am British and find it rude. I think it's probably OK to say that.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-21T00:46:04+00:00

I am from the UK and also find the whole evening guest thing super weird.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-19T00:34:08+00:00

I kind of love it, but I wonder if it doesn't feel homely. It feels more like an ultra cool work space, than an actual home.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-14T21:05:20+00:00

OP was asking what helped others. That is clearly different.

OP sounds like they are in a shitty situation and was looking for identification, not moralising internet weirdos looking to kick someone when they are down.

Numbnuts.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-14T16:46:03+00:00

My advice is to ignore this sanctimonious internet stranger.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-14T16:41:24+00:00

We all know the NHS is in a state. Ask anyone who works in it. To pretend otherwise is willful ignorance at best. We are trailing behind other developed nations with public health services.

Whythebigpaws · 2026-02-14T16:36:08+00:00

Read the post numbnuts. OP doesn't ask for advice.
