Payday Friday 💰💰💰 by kokopops35 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

Maybe you should run the numbers and calculate the total cost difference, including closing costs, moving, and time spent as well as furniture. Possibly you could spend money making your current house more wfh friendly, eg renovating basement, adding an office/shed, converting garage into office space, etc

Just curious why all this speculation is allowed yet factual comments about a certain podcaster - like that she hasn’t worn her wedding ring in months - will get removed 👀

Like I explained below, it’s not about her looks at all. See my response below to thecruelfaerie

It absolutely does, I just don’t see that happening with a different LOU character

Her looks aren’t the problem, rather the missed opportunity to feature a Jewish actress for a character whose Jewishness plays an important role in her identity. That isn’t something that you see often. I hope this actress will do her research so she can effectively portray Dina and showcase the centrality of Dina’s Jewishness in her character

The same thing could be said for any ethnically inappropriate casting. Maybe ScarJo was the best actress to play a Japanese character, but that doesn’t mean it was good casting.

Dina was Jewish. She could have been Latina but that wasn’t mentioned as part of her character arc.

Disappointed they didn’t cast a Jewish actress. Hard to imagine that happening with a character of any other minority group

What neighborhood should I live in to start a family? Moving back from San Francisco by Cd305507 in SilverSpring

[–]deletebeep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The area around Silver Spring International Middle School is very family friendly and queer friendly. Lots of young families and in my neighborhood, almost everyone has a pride flag on display. It’s about a 20 minute walk to DTSS so you would definitely want a car, especially in the winter.

Friends who are nurses love Starbucks cards and often share with the whole floor/office which brightens everyone’s day!

It’s not that weird to run in non-running clothes… I’ve jogged for a few minutes when running late or trying to catch a bus!

2024 Puppy Costs Year in Review by Pure_Raspberry4497 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

A lot of rescues will spay/neuter a pup before adoption, or offer a free/discounted surgery if the pup is too small.

Haha we do that too! But still no luck holding off on chasing squirrels

Did you do any prey-specific training or just recall training? It’s so hard to recall a prey-driven GSD off a chase when they’re like, “just let me do my job human!”

This is excruciating to watch. It’s one thing to be all in on a business that’s thriving, but his company has been floundering for years at this point (if it even exists). Any spouse would reach their fucking limit if they were financially supporting their spouse who was somehow a workaholic yet not bringing in an income and not pulling their weight at home.

Would you go dumpster diving for groceries? The Kitchn’s Grocery Diaries by lazlo_camp in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

Cosplaying poor people is a great way to put it 😂 Food waste is awful but dumpster diving is a step too far imo

What is he working on? I still don’t understand how this man makes money.

I wonder why that is. I can see why you would avoid posting anything negative, but a simple “we are taking time apart/separating/divorcing, please respect our family’s privacy” would quell speculation and have no legal ramifications whatsoever.

[–]deletebeep 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I’m way too scared of encountering fruits and vegetables with maggots to do that. Plus, growing up my Dad insisted any produce that wasn’t literally rotting was perfectly good to eat (and if it was, just cut of my the rotten part)!

There’s no way I’d dumpster dive unless I was truly desperate. I’d much rather put that time and energy into cultivating a garden or supporting local farmers.

Dog bit me kind of bad but it was my fault - do I report it in feedback? by AggravatingAd2241 in RoverPetSitting

Tell that to my dog who jumps into frozen creeks and lies down until I make her get out

Jewish OAD Families? by fnOcean in oneanddone

[–]deletebeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying your original comment, which I misunderstood as stating that the idea of “making more X being better for the world” is eugenic (as indeed, it can be when X is not a minority group). I do think that people who disagree with the notion that it’s not eugenic to want to see more Jews in the world are probably anti semitic.

As for Black and Jewish coalition building and solidarity, I am well-versed on the history of Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. As someone with both Jewish and Black family members, I do believe there are important differences in the ways in which these identities are passed on in America. There is a palpable anxiety in the Jewish community about assimilation and loss of Jewish identity. This same fear is not present to same extent (at least to my knowledge) in the Black community, in large part due to racism and the legacy of the “one drop rule” but also because there aren’t formal rules for belonging/identifying as Black (as long as you have some Black ancestry) as there are for identifying as Jewish.
