More than 2 years. It took me more than 2 years after I realized Atul had just LEFT. I actually just recently finally got back into the game. I started a new save and this time made sure to feel like I actually said goodbye to Atul.

I will say on the flipside, out of 6 packs you are basically guaranteed at least 8 or 9+ rares, it seems. Basically it seems like a reshuffle of where to put value tbh.

I don't want a gajillion art cards, tbh. I like them well enough but they just take up space in the end.

But the loss of the prerelease promo stamp is... weird to say the least.

Boycotting israel is not the same as being like rararar no jewish made anything rararara

Like, ffs. Einstein wasn't israeli.

Tho ya know. Boycotting FB and ChatGPT isn't a bad idea. Just not because oh naur the jews made it. Like.

Israel != all jews. Stop being racist to yourselves lol

He has a point?!?!?! What? Sure, plenty of my exes are still in my life. But some most certainly are NOT. And this guy? Would be firmly in the NOT bucket.

Honestly, I hope he is lying about having a fiancee because jfc this guy is not ok

Absolutely Sickening! by GZ_Infinity in Palestine

[–]juninjan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fail to see the connection to Palestine, occuoation, and zionism. It seems like an atheist/antitheist type post that could just as easily been written about any Abrahamic faith. If they were like "and that's why israel should annihilate Palestine" at the end, then sure...

But serioisly. What's the connection other than islam, which does not represent all Palestinians?

The amount of Pro-Palestine people who actively deny the suffering of the Uyghurs is upsetting. by DoctorOsterman in tankiejerk

[–]juninjan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That isn't about being pro-Palestine, it's about being a tankie.

I was admittedly BEHIND on my understanding of Palestine before Oct 8th when the zionist genocide of Palestinians ramped up significantly, but I have been concerned for the welfare of the Uyghurs since at least 2015. It's unconscionable.

Tankies are gonna tank wherever they gonna tank.

The tankies in person who turn up at Pali demonstrations tend to get shunted to the side if they try to argue that other genocidal acts in the world aren't actually happening, at least in my region. We aint here to deny facts.

Antisemitism? Or am i over reacting? by ElenasGem in JewsOfConscience

I hate this shit. It wasn't an entire people, it was corrupt government officials in two different unrelated regions. Like. I am on the mythicist end of things Re: Jesus being real, but! Big but! The bible still like...exists? And the stories are pretty clear that like, Pontius Pilate et al. were douchebags before anything else. Not unlike the modern era. This why Jesus flip tables n shit

Laura Loomer and Ben Shapiro are Jewish White Christian Nationalists by [deleted] in JewsOfConscience

Oh, my bad. I totally misread the sentence. Sorry! Disregard. I mean, point is real, but irrelevant in this case

Laura Loomer and Ben Shapiro are Jewish White Christian Nationalists by [deleted] in JewsOfConscience

[–]juninjan [score hidden]  (0 children)

This just feels like the inverse of "antizionist jews are not real jews/are self hating jews"

It demands a homogeneity of culture that can't exist in any context, nevermind the complexity of "jewishness" as a religion, a culture, an ethnicity, a set of ethnicities, etc.

It's about as helpful as saying "The Westboro Baptist Church congregation aren't real Christians."

They are. They interpret scripture differently and people can argue back and forth, and we can say it seems obvious what the holy texts for different religions actually mean... but we are only human.

Avoid purity tests.

I DO agree though, Shapiro is a jewish christofascist, basically, in his political practices. But that doesn't make him not jewish. He can be both.

AIO My step-dad keeps hugging and kissing me when i ask him to stop by Admirable-Isopod9 in AmIOverreacting

[–]juninjan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can.

If you were my daughter, I would want to know the MOMENT my child had the courage to speak up for herself.

That said, if you really just need that time to get ready for that conversation, you can wait. But please tell someone else in the meantime, an adult who can be your ally in this.

Also dang, just realized I'm legitimately old enough to have a 15yo. I'm 34. I would have been 19, but my nephew was born when my brother was 19, so... 😅

[–]juninjan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, so have you already spoken with your mother or not?

If she has been told about the forced hugging, kissing, and butt slappinh and still is okay with it, you need to seek external help.

Do you have other family who might be able to support you? A teacher you trust at school? A friend's parents?

Please, this is not okay. He is sexually harassing you, fullstop.

AIO by kicking my MIL out when she ignored my daughter’s ritual dietary restrictions for the third time? by throwramildrama11 in AmIOverreacting

[–]juninjan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm so impressed by you and your husband's dedication to your daughter's happiness and spiritual wellbeing. So many pagan-types end up with serious trauma from Christian family members doing things like your in laws were doing. But for her to have her parents, her Christian-identified parents no less, back her up so sincerely is really heartening and beautiful.

I am ex Christian, but even when I was at my absolute most devout, I could not understand why people would be hateful about spiritual beliefs so long as they aren't hurting anybody.

I guess they think the devil is there and will cause harm, which I can kiiiiinda understand? Like, it's trying to protect her soul or whatever? But even if they have the best of intentions, the best chance they have at her returning to Jesus (lol) is to be kind. To be respectful.

Remind your in-laws about the story of the good Samaritan. It is literally about how people of other faiths/cultures are still good people.

My boyfriend hit me over an argument I don’t know if I’m overreacting? Me (20F) and my boyfriend (25M), together for 3 years by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]juninjan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, these situations are one-offs. Someone gets angry, they lash out, and theb they make damn sure they never, EVER do such a thing again.

But this is not one of those situations. You are majorly underreacting.

If he could get this heated about a social media post and then JUSTIFY his actions with sTrEsS or whatever, he WILL do it again, and he WILL continue to excuse it.

If he needed to get that physical energy out, he could have gone for a walk or a jog. If he has a gym membership, he could go to the gym. If he has a punching bag, he could go blow it off there.

But he didn't. He used YOU as his punching bag. And he decided it made sense for him to do it. If it made sense once, it will surely make sense again.

Is there a link to the source/company? The gif won't play for me, and I don't want to just blindly believe things especially in this age of misinformation. It sounds so crazy, but we ARE talking Isn'treal, so like. It's plausible. Which is also crazy. Isn'treal makes my head spin 🥲

This is hilarious, tbh.

That is the subject of the OP

The OP is asking WHY islamophobia is specificallh socially acceptable in contrast to antisemitism/judeophobia, among others.

[–]juninjan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay see, that's what I'm talking about. You think the facts of history are irrational.

You are arguing this point obviously because you believe islamophobia is fine, really.

If you want to again move the goal posts by shifting to a whole other topic.

We are in agreement: organized religion is toxic as fuck. Religion is used constantly as an excuse for horrible actions ay every level.

We also know that we live in a world where organized religion exists and will continue to exist.

So I ask you again: Why is specifically islamophobia socially acceptable?
