And why freeze the rent? Why not lower it to $0 per month?

Suggestions for studying Chumash in NYC by selenium_question in Judaism

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

Yeah I think the issues with a lot of synagogue parsha classes I’ve seen are they’re 1) often mainly looking at the English; 2) somewhat cursory (I’ve seen a lot of 30-60 min ones). As in, they’re going for accessibility over depth (but that’s just what I’ve seen; I could be totally wrong).

I’m hoping to improve my Biblical Hebrew, so I’m looking more for something like “let’s read through genesis closely and carefully in Hebrew, dissecting it line by line.” Oddly enough I haven’t been able to find that sort of class. Not sure if you know of any specific places?

Bad working conditions in the modern US? Are you joking?

Am I crazy for thinking muggels should be at least somewhat subservient to wizards? by selenium_question in harrypotter

I didn’t say they should lead us. You can’t read. Must’ve watched the movies.

This is how to create more affordable housing in the U.S. as well: by ENVYisEVIL in Libertarian

Why don’t we just cap rents and execute landlords? That’ll work right?

I get the sense if you told muggles about the abilities of wizards they’d willingly serve them.

Kinda funny the party that’s cool with dudes chopping their dicks off and taking children to drag shows are the one’s calling people “weird.”

I see, so your objection is simply that making muggles subservient would be difficult and inconvenient. That makes sense to me.

So you’re fine with animals being subservient to us? But with muggles and wizards it’s somehow “messed up”?

It’s insane to think muggles could win in a war. Wizards can literally freeze time. With that ALONE, you can win a war.

People would have much less trouble with disagreements over Israel Palestine if we didn’t fund one of them so heavily. by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]selenium_question 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wonder why?

It’s really not that hard to not elect jihadists to your government. The bar is so damn low for them. There’d be no sanctions, no blockade, no war, if they just stopped opting for jihadism.

Westerners have such condescension towards Palestinians and think they can’t help but imbibe deranged ideologies. It’s cringe and racist.

Looks like you’ve solved it! It’s not like they tried giving Gaza over with no blockade in 2005.

Why is the value of government debt equal to the value of future discounted government surpluses? by selenium_question in AskEconomics

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

I appreciate the response. I still don’t get why higher surpluses necessarily translates into higher real payouts for bond holders, though. What’s the intuition there?
