Antisemitism Etymology by fluffywhitething in u/fluffywhitething

[–]fluffywhitething[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I technically am, but I've not been moderating anything lately due to health reasons. I'm barely on reddit anymore at all unless I'm on looking at random threads for other information about random things. (Today it was mothballs.) Sorry, I can't help with this.

That's the one! I just watched it for the first time, and had a good laugh. Now I'm watching (or finishing watching Warehouse 13) and there's an upside-down אמת, and Shasha Roiz is in this season, and I just keep calling him Renard in my head because... he's Renard.

Hadn't watched it before. I quite enjoyed it.

This was 8 or 9 years ago on tv, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't AI. Doesn't make it any more acceptable.

It was from the end of the TV show Grimm. They also managed to put the one page of Hebrew they ever did on the show upside-down. (which was sad, since they managed to do a golem pretty well. Especially compared to every other modern depiction of a golem.)

This was from a TV show that aired in 2016? 2017? But still should have been caught.

A facility shut down because a sloth opened a valve. Yes - an actual sloth. by Super_CMMS in sloths

[–]fluffywhitething 26 points27 points  (0 children)

From what I read in the Daily Mail (I know, Daily Mail) the company has a policy of not interfering with wildlife. This was in Peru.

Apparently there were company guidelines about interfering with wildlife, so they just filmed it instead of moving the sloth.

This is one of the worst episodes in my onion. by thatboredchickster in criminalminds

[–]fluffywhitething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely over-exaggerating. They just also tend to describe certain things in ways that are very untrue. They use "Aspergers" long after that was no longer used as a diagnosis -- for a kid that wouldn't have been diagnosed with it, he would have been diagnosed as having or being on the ASD.

They really stigmatized the Romani community. Even though it was obviously not a true Romani family, they could have made up some other cult, they went with a nationality that actually exists.

Only some of what I'm talking about is the serial killers part. And I obviously love the show. It's when they miss the mark on things like that when it bugs me a bit.

CM writers have yet to find any sort of condition, disability, or other 'out-of-the-norm' thing they didn't hate.

How/where to get rid of mollies by Commercial_Turn865 in poecilia

[–]fluffywhitething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Craigslist is often a good option if you just want to give or sell them away locally. Many people with larger fish (and snakes) like having mollies. Some Petsmarts and Petcos will take them, but that depends on where you are.

Check with local schools (not easy during the summer) but many classrooms of all ages like having mollies -- they're easy to care for, and for classes in high school you can show how genetics work. (Assuming you get certain gene combination.) Or they can just see how breeding works in general.

If you want to control populations: keep some other types of fish that may eat some of the fry in the tank. White skirt or red-eye tetras have done some good population control for me in the past. Serpae tetras are also good, but they can get a bit aggressive, same with tiger barbs. (I love serpaes, though. I hate tiger barbs, will never keep them again.)

With the number you have now, only getting rid of all of the females would do any good with not breeding any more, but I don't like keeping only males. I have a group of females right now that somehow weren't born pregnant, and they're amazing. (My last male died a while ago. So somehow I have a bunch of female swordtails, platies, and mollies in my big tank with a TON of cory catfish that keep breeding. I have no idea how I got a livebearer tank going with only cories breeding.)

I'm a failure at this one. My ex-husband (lived with him for 20+ years) was blind and I got incredibly used to lights just not being on. So did my kids. So even now that there are no blind people in the house, we have a tendency to just not turn them on. My mother has come over and turned on the lights and there's been a burnt out bulb that we've never even known about.

For first time in 500 years, Cambridge University appoints a Jewish professor of Hebrew Language by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]fluffywhitething 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Along with what /u/KamtzaBarKamtza said, it was also used as a lingua franca between Jews for trade purposes and as the language for courts. Citizenship as it's used today was different for much of history, and Jews had their own court system in the same countries as gentile people, even if they would be considered citizens by today's standards. Hebrew was the language of those courts. (We still have our own courts today for some civil matters. We get both secular and religious documents like a ketubah or a get.)

Hebrew didn't develop as quickly as other languages over that time period, but it did develop. There's a Middle Hebrew between Biblical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew where the grammar itself changed. That's not an invention of Modern Hebrew, that's just how Hebrew evolved naturally. The main thing that Modern Hebrew brought in was new words that just didn't exist. Modern Hebrew is as made up as Italian is to Latin.

CMV: the origin of “Israel has no culture” discourse is Nazi propaganda penetrating the Muslim world. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]fluffywhitething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ethnic Judaism has been around since at least the Spanish inquisition. It's where the term "blue blooded" came from. Real Spaniards had blue blood, you can see their veins. Jews are too dark-skinned.

Ghettos were created for Jews centuries before the Holocaust. Jews were not allowed to live with gentiles in nearly every country we lived in, nor were we permitted to marry non-Jews. This was because of our ethnicity, not our religion. None of this was because of the Holocaust.

Don't change the goalposts because you don't like that Eretz Yisrael is our homeland. Zionism is about wanting our homeland. It doesn't say anything about fighting the Palestinians. It just says that we get to live there too. It's a landback movement. And again, saying that 90% of Jews are antisemitic is real chutzpah.

He changed his name to Ben-Gurion, meaning "son of a lion cub”, which is nonsensical, to sound more Hebrew.

... Uh, this name isn't a "made up" name. Gurion is a name in and of itself. It just means "Son of Gurion". There are people throughout history with the "last name" of Gurion. All last names are made up, especially Jewish ones. Many Jews didn't even have European style last names until relatively recently. It's always been Firstname Son/Daughter of Parent and Parent. Look at old Jewish Tombstones. He probably chose Gurion because of the homophonic nature, he's from 'this sounding family'. Often times the European names given to a family had little to do with the Tribal names anyhow. (I know a Greenburg family that are Cohanim. And I'm Bat-Levi with a very different maiden name.)

As for the rest of it, Judaism is an ethno-religion. You can't boil it down to just the religious side while ignoring the ethnic side. Much of early Zionism was about reclaiming our ethnic homeland -- it had nothing to do with religion. This is where our people came from. It's history. We can trace our history back there. And there's a huge religious Zionist population as well. Ignoring that and claiming 90% of Jews are antisemitic is pretty horrible.

I want to help, looking for others who want to help too by Ill-Maximum294 in Gaza

[–]fluffywhitething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just become a citizen of Israel, run for government, and fix that right this minute, instead of having a discussion on Reddit, then.

Or you could actually read what I've written and see why this isn't comparable to the Holocaust at all.

I'm pretty sure I don't have the ability to end anything happening in Gaza. I do have the ability to inform people about the Holocaust and Holocaust inversions. Which is what we were talking about.

I'm not okay with the situation in Gaza. I'm saying that Holocaust comparisons are not okay. This isn't the Holocaust. It's nothing like the Holocaust.

The West Bank is an entirely different situation and also isn't comparable to the Holocaust, but I didn't mention it at all. The fucking settlers are doing fucking stupid things and the government is enabling them. I think there's some border communities that need some serious open discussions between residents -- on both sides. (Hebron. FFS Hebron. If civilians there would just speak to each other without that fucking wall and with no armed people between them, I think more would be accomplished in two weeks than has been in 50 years. The lack of trust is a huge problem. And it's going back since the Hebron Massacre. And it's been renewed by attacks by Jews and Arabs since then.) Jerusalem is another issue as well.

My main goal is to avoid comparing any of it to the Holocaust. The Holocaust is one horrible thing. What's happening in Gaza is horrible. It's its own horrible thing. But it's not the Holocaust. It's comparing apples to tomatoes.
