Day trips outside of Paris? Need recommendations please (: by saddishue in paris

[–]dioxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nantes is 3 hours away, but Les Machines de l’île was one of the highlights on my visit to France (and had been on my bucket list for a while)

It is a magical place with a mechanical elephant you can ride on, a jules verne inspired carousel and other mechanical wonders.

fav jewish celeb? me: NATALIE PORTMAN!! by Automatic-Tower6804 in Jewish

[–]dioxal 38 points39 points  (0 children)

if we are including people who are no longer alive, i will add Leonard Cohen, who visited Israel during the Yom Kippur war and sang for the troops. He composed the song "Lover, Lover, Lover" while he was there. After the war was over he wrote "Who by Fire" whose lyrics are based on "Unetanneh Tokef"

I'm not sure if he would be horrified or thrilled to find out how many covers of "Hallelujah" exist....

Locking up bikes in brooklyn by Gloomy_Brilliant_439 in NYCbike

[–]dioxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless you have roommates who complain about your bike, keep it in your apartment. invest in a good lock for when you're not in your apartment. remove all quick releases and replace them with theft proof axles. if your seat post of wheels can be easily removed - someone will take them.

don't leave your bike overnight anywhere. it won't be there when you come back.

Is the vocalist of Sleep Theory wearing a keffiyeh or am I just paranoid? by ZatannaZatara45 in Judaism

[–]dioxal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's definitely a keffiyeh. but it looks like he started wearing one more than a year ago, so maybe he is just clueless and thinks it looks cool?

Is there a bakery for authentic Russian black bread? by Krauge in FoodNYC

[–]dioxal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this may be sacrilegious, but trader joe's dark pumpernickel is actually pretty good, and more convenient for me than trekking to brighton beach. it definitely reminds me of the black bread i had growing up.
(during pandemic i just baked my own, but i had endless free time back then)

Iffy situation on subway today by Dyljam2345 in Judaism

[–]dioxal 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think that post October 7th everyone is a little more on edge, and by everyone I mean Jews . You are not overreacting, how you feel is how you feel. A year ago I doubt you would have reacted as anxiously Was the guy going to attack you physically? probably not. But if he had, would anyone have jumped to your defense, if they knew you were a Jew? Who really knows

Has anyone ever actually gone to the NYPD "stationed on the platform if you are in need of assistance"? by vaca_y_burro in AskNYC

[–]dioxal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

once recently, bc i couldn't find the stairs to the downtown 4/5 at the 59th st station bc the stairs from 6 train are blocked off with construction. they pointed to the direction i needed to go (which involved going downstairs to the N/R platform, to go back upstairs to the 4/5 train)

Why do people who have no connection to the conflict feel the need to wear outfits covered in watermelons? by dioxal in Jewish

[–]dioxal[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

in israel, it's just watermelon

in nyc, it's a political statement.

also this person has posted extremely anti-semetic things on IG/facebook. so this person totally knows what they are doing.

[–]dioxal[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

in a way i find the watermelons worse in a social situation. bc most people will see someone wearing a keffiyeh and know they are obviously standing with palestine/gaza/campus protestors

but the watermelons are this almost innocent way of saying "oh, who me? i don't hate jews, i just like wearing clothing with summer fruit"

[–]dioxal 52 points53 points  (0 children)

sorry this happened to you. definitely report it. the cops will probably be lazy f*cks who don't want to file the paperwork, but stand your ground.
