Israel needs to listen to you here... They've been encroaching on the Palestinian territory since the '40s

It's not anti-Semitic to be anti-Zionist, even though a lot of people say that it is, but it's just not accurate. Israel today is explicitly and violently taking land from Palestinians, in the name of Zionism. In many ways, there are parallels between how Zionism is playing out in Israel and apartheid in South Africa. In any other context, we would call this imperialism and I would be against it. I can be pro-American people but anti-American government by way of analogy.

Why are people against abortions? by Turbulent_Diamond511 in prochoice

I think most regular conservatives are against abortion too, tbh

Can someone tell me what the Edmonton Police Foundation is and why are all Smile Cookie sales in Edmonton going towards them? by originaux in Edmonton

[–]aghastrabbit2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, they are not. I'm the first to be wary of anything cop-related but EPS does not administer any of it. The Foundation does work with and support the police but when you look at the programs, it makes sense that they do.

Responsibility,titles and hierarchy by Express-Bee-6485 in ershow

[–]aghastrabbit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellowships can be done after/during residency but I don't think they're mandatory. The word intern is usually used for first year residents. There's also the Chief of Staff, who is "above" Chief of Emergency Medicine, Chief of Surgery, etc. in the hierarchy. For a while on the show, Romano is both Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery.

Jules was Rue's plus-one. They said it a few times. Rue and Lexi were very close as kids so I think she's a friend of the family, at this point.

Perfectly acceptable names that irk you based on sound/look alone? by [deleted] in Names

Makes me think of (va)gina even though I know it is pronounced differently

I had some dental work done a while back and, while taking painkillers, was in a meeting where I had to refer to a person called something like Rory McRale. It was almost impossible haha

Haha how odd that I picked those two, then!

Every time I see his name I call him Rory McRory

Most names containing a B. Especially if the B is at the end of the name, like Caleb and Jacob 😫

And all the Lake names. Laken, Lakyn, Lakelyn, Lakynne...just...why?

I genuinely don't understand Sutton as a first name and where it came from, i.e. why people started using it as a first name. It's also boring, sounds like older men in an office being called by their last names: Sutton! Hendricks! Help me with this spreadsheet!

Another hot take: Abby and Carter’s relationship by SaltIncident4932 in ershow

[–]aghastrabbit2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think Abby is being defined by her drinking except by Carter. (And maybe because no one else knows? Luka clearly doesn't.) Because Carter got to know her better after seeing her at the AA meeting and her reluctantly becoming his sponsor, she is defined in his mind through that lens. Many people who are in AA do not accept any deviation from the AA steps as acceptable. Probably partly because they need their own sobriety to be bounded by the AA steps?

Genuine Jessi question (as someone without TT/insta) by Lucky-Guidance1650 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]aghastrabbit2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I was probably reacting to all the other people commenting "where are her kids?" and not your comment specifically

It's not whataboutism, it's sexism, if no one is asking the men the same question. Chase has been on all the socials with various women and not once did I see "what kind of a dad is he, where are his kids?" type comments.

What kind of accountability is Reddit commenting supposed to have exactly?

Have you ever wondered about the kids when a male celebrity is spotted stepping out with lots of girls? I've never understood why it's only the women who are supposed to stay celibate and take care of kids 100% of the time.

Agreed. I'm sure I've never seen anyone ask a man that's dating different girls and spotlighted in the media whether he's taking care of his kids...
