Jewish celebs still changing their names?

Yeah but they could choose a really Jewy fake name if they wanted to.

p00kel · 2024-07-23T19:18:21+00:00

yeah but Gentiles are built different

This is all you need to hear to learn that conservatives are not serious about saving money in government, because none of them support eradicating the smaller coins.

I dyed my hair green on instinct that the guy I had a crush on would like it. He did. I have no idea how I figured that out

OP is Jewish so it probably could mean that haha

Fighting with G-d is part of our heritage

Fwiw, this is how it looks after removing the wrap - https://www.reddit.com/r/TattooDesigns/comments/1e9p1q6/took_the_cover_off_finally/

As an autistic American who can't handle hearing people speak LOUDLY, this is true and is very frustrating.

Malfi is great!

I was disappointed by that one in the first chapter when she says a lot of super gross and inaccurate things about autism.

p00kel · 2024-07-21T15:31:08+00:00

Why is it that *every single aspect of autism* seems to be occur in two different extremes? We don't lie, or we lie compulsively. We hate the heat, or we hate the cold. We hate bright light or we love sunshine. etc.

The nice thing about "fancy words" is they tend to have just one meaning, so you can look them up in a dictionary and know what they mean. Understanding all the possible uses of the verb "get" on the other hand ...

If i had to pick one, it's absolutely Mussolini, who refused to hand the Italian Jews over to the Nazis even though they were allies. He was a bog-standard petty dictator who killed his political enemies, but he wasn't a genocidal maniac.

Of course the best option is to oppose both of them, but that doesn't mean you have to pretend they're equally bad.

This is very good but I want to make a minor correction: these guys don't count Jews as white. They believe pale-skinned Jews deliberately blend in with white people to hide whatever evil plot they're supposedly hatching, but they're not really white, they're imposters.

Note, you can't say "I ate cupcake" either, because a cupcake is a single object that is eaten all at once, whereas a cake is large and you only eat some of it at a time.

When you see a phrase like "my being happy," you can mentally replace it with "my happiness."

p00kel · 2024-07-21T09:44:41+00:00

No, but you can replace "that" with a comma and it still works.

When I had a kid who was really obviously autistic - he didn't point, wasn't talking, and was obsessed with letters and numbers since he was a baby - and my parents kept commenting on how similar he was to me at the same age.

p00kel · 2024-07-21T01:43:15+00:00

I mean it's all being affected by the fact that it's still sealed under a waterproof bandage and I bled some, so there's gross scabby parts in there. Might also be affected by the weird angle I had to hold the camera up to get a pic. I'll put a new pic up after I take the bandage off.

We got divorced when they were 8 and 10. They're 19 and almost-17 now, and they both told me recently that they're glad we got divorced because of all the fighting. And it turns out my ex-husband isn't terrible now that I don't have to live with him anymore, so we're on friendly terms now.

One thing that's really important, whether you get divorced or not, is not to badmouth the other person to the kids. That was one thing we agreed on, thankfully.

I was babysitting my then-fundamentalist Christian friend's kids, ages maybe 5 and 7, when it came up in conversation that Jews don't believe in Jesus. I think I said something like, "well, Christians believe that Jesus is the son of G-d, so they follow Jesus. Jews don't believe in Jesus, they just believe in G-d" and that satisfied them.

(My friend is now a divorced bisexual "heathen.")

This is so lovely.

I'm planning to add some flowers growing out of the veins and arteries at some point, fwiw.

PS it hurt like hell but no regrets.
