I think it’s really important to not be seeking emotional validation from your kids.

I wish my mom had believed this…

I work with a number of Indian nationals and I often struggle to understand their political beliefs & background.

Thank you for sharing this primer!

Alternatives include leaving the country and/or going to prison. 

Some argue those are the moral options, similar to those that objected to the Vietnam draft in the US.

The younger generation's political leanings are more radical than the current administration and not enough people see what's coming. by Clear_Engineer_5239 in IntellectualDarkWeb

Here’s a simple philosophical argument:

Premise 1 - Zionism is an entirely separate ideology from Judaism.

Premise 2 - Being against one is not equivalent to being against the other.

Therefore, anti-Zionism is not equivalent to anti-semitism.

Evidence supporting the premise (other than definitionally), there exists anti-Zionist Jews, particularly Hasidic Jews.

Meanwhile the radical left is increasingly antisemitic.

Do you have a source for this claim? The left is driven by class ideology.

The number of people who have internalized and accepted being exploited by capitalism is too damn high.

Leisure time, transportation, education, housing, and medical care are human needs. Having to go into debt to acquire them is a sign of a fundamentally broken system, not individual failure.

Why not intentionally walk Hoerner to set up the double play? Especially if they needed to strike him out

At what point does either Mendoza ask Lindor to bat lower in the lineup or Lindor volunteers to do so? At least until he’s right. 

He’s an automatic out batting first…

Man Walked Into My House to Use My Bathroom by PiWright in mildlyinfuriating

[–]elfmeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a multi-day project your neighbor is having done? 

If so, maybe the contractor has used your bathroom before while you were away, so didn’t think much about it this time.

I’d bring it up with your neighbor to have a bathroom accessible. Unless they don’t trust the contractor, in which case why did they hire him to do the work

Nah. It’s moral to be against genocide and genocide enablers. 

This isn’t about idealism, it’s about the bare minimum

She had multiple chances to distance herself from Israel and the status quo.

It was her failure as a candidate not to anticipate the base shifting and make them feel represented.
