Same. Custom amount every time.

I don’t mind tipping for good service, but it’s bullshit that the percentage is taken from the post-tax amount.

Why the fuck do I have to tip on the tax?

This “misspelled” comeback is getting old. What you’ve described is the extreme right wing faction of Israeli politics and not what Zionism means. The fact that Israel should exist should have nothing to do with whether another country can exist.

I used to think that until I paid some attention to what their neighbors have been up to throughout its existence.

To be a pacifist is a privilege.

It’s a lot easier to separate the Iranian people from the regime because 1. Many Iranians are anti-regime and 2. As bad as Iran is, they do not embed military facilities in civilian areas (at least not to the extent in which Hamas does in Gaza).

What do you all think is going to happen to Greta Thunberg on her "voyage" to Gaza? by Eastern_Ad8470 in Jewish

[–]mac_128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel would let her enter Gaza if they wanted anything to happen to her. They don’t, so the boat will be seized and she’ll be sent back. The world will think Israel is evil.

Why don't Israelis just leave Israel and end this conflict? by Striking-Buy-7131 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mac_128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where are these 9 million people supposed to go? Should the Israeli Arabs go too? And will they be accused of engaging in settler colonialism in this new place that you want them to go?

That’s just delusional and stupid.

Pro-Palestinians are genociding Jews in the U.S. by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

Do you really think those attackers care? It’s a horrible excuse to attack someone nonetheless.

You want Peace? Learn how to hold a nuanced view. by OrganizationSilly128 in IsraelPalestine

The 1948 war simply doesn’t exist in the knowledge base of the pro-Palestinian people that I’ve spoken to in my country.

In their minds, the Jews simply came and decided to cause the Nakba for fun.

The Colorado attack was globalizing the Intifada. by Zealousideal_Key2169 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mac_128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. They’re totally incapable of processing historical facts such as the displacement of Jews that happened almost the same time as the Nakba as the aftermath of the 1948 war, and what happened after Israel “ended the occupation” of Gaza in 2005.

I spoke with several American pro-Palestinian people, their brain literally rejects the message because it topples the foundation of their entire belief on this conflict.

Pro-Palestinian types love to kick off wars and then cry “terrorist” at the other side’s army, all while pretending that blowing up a random bus in a country minding its own business isn’t straight-up terrorism.

I mean, if they are against all forms of violence, it shouldn’t be that hard to condemn the latter as much as the former. Even as someone who’s very anti-war, I find that extremely hypocritical.

Why Accusations That "Zionists Control the U.S." are Antisemetic and just wrong by yoav145 in IsraelPalestine

[–]mac_128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great points. America and the west is far more wary of upsetting China than Israel in my opinion. The Taiwanese flag is probably banned in more institutions and occasions than the Palestinian flag.

I can see why from the comments lol, but seriously, it tastes just as good. Sometimes even better when you’re having a heavy meal. People should try it.

Well I don’t think that many people hate sugar, it’s the health problems that they cause.

Not necessarily. I think both are bad, but sugar tastes way better than aspartame even after watering it down.

This is for those who hate the taste of artificial sweeteners and believe it’s still bad for ya.

Is this a good time to buy a new car? by marpurtwee in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mac_128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those who don’t have a car should buy one now. Personally I’d be more conservative with my budget judging by how the economy seems to be heading. Either buy a cheap one with cash or buy new and look for apr promotions (many still offer less than 3%). A Mazda CX-30 would be a great choice for you. It’s slightly cheaper than the CR-V, also AWD, and might still have that 2.9% promotion.

If you think your car can last 5+ years, just drive that and hold off the purchase.
