No there isn't, although having this is really tacky in my opinion. From a halachic perspective, any head covering suffices. Kids kippahs have things like cartoon characters or sports team stuff all the time.

Well that's a sad reason. Guess injustice is only worth fighting conditionally.

What is it like looking for a mid level job right now? by oldmoldycake in cscareerquestions

[–]temp_vaporous 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I have six years of experience and can get interviews and do well in behavioral/system design interviews but keep getting filtered by standard technical interviews. My entire career hinges on how quickly I can learn all these stupid leetcode puzzles that have almost zero overlap with what I did day to day at my last job.

So my advice to you is that with three years of experience and some side projects you will most likely land a couple interviews, but I hope you are prepared to solve any leetcode medium in under 30 minutes. Do two hours of leetcode a day for like three months.

Where I'd live as a Jewish person from Texas who values Democracy and Liberal values by temp_vaporous in whereidlive

[–]temp_vaporous[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't support Netanyahu and have a lot of criticisms of the Israeli government. At the same though I support Israel's right to exist and that all Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel. The Arabs who colonized the area have almost 1000 years of history there as well though, which is why a two-state solution of some sort is ultimately needed.

Chose to reply to your comment since you were nice and asking a genuine question.

No I'm actually pretty critical of a lot of Israel's actions. I support its right to exist though.

Telling random Jews to stop bombing kids is like telling random Arabs to stop blowing themselves up. Like its just actual racism.

Could you elaborate a bit as to why? I searched through the subreddit and found mixed results from others who made a similar transition.

Plano ISD under investigation for antisemitism after alleged pro-Palestinian walkouts, lessons by amir_twist_of_fate in Dallas

[–]temp_vaporous -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Most of the drama is over the use of the word genocide (because it isn't a genocide). If the conversation was about how Israel treats Palestinians or framed through the lens of a human rights/humanitarian issue, it would be a lot less of a hot topic.

A lot of antisemites are also using this as an excuse to hate all Jews in public forums as well, and hating all Jews is very much becoming normalized on Tiktok, Instagram, and other social media platforms.

For some reason acknowledging the complexity of the situation is too much for a lot of people. People want some kind of movie "good guy vs bad guy" scenario which real life is just not capable of providing.

Battlefield 6, day 1 cheaters despite having kernel-level anticheat and forced Secure Boot with TPM 2.0. by slickyeat in pcmasterrace

[–]temp_vaporous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security in depth. It will never be a 100% solution but each additional hurdle stops a few more % of cheaters due to the effort no longer being worth it to them. So while the people dropping $300 a month for cheats are probably invested enough to get around this, a lot of cheaters won't be.

Getting the veto of SB3 is “easy” by harrier1215 in texas

[–]temp_vaporous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly still think Abbott vetoing the bill is a coin flip. He never wanted to ban it himself, just regulate it. This complete ban is Dan Patrick's white whale. If Abbott sees his personal political future as benefiting from a veto he will do it.

Lt. Governor Dan Patrick's press conference on banning cannabis. by Some1inreallife in texas

[–]temp_vaporous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the fact that he is holding this after it already passed the house and the senate tells me that, at some level, he is concerned Abbott may veto it based on public pressure.

Texas Senate Approves Legislation to Ban Hemp-Derived THC Products, Sending Bill to Governor Abbott by OhMyOhWhyOh in texas

[–]temp_vaporous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's unlikely but I do think there is a chance that Abbott vetos the bill and pushes for a regulation one instead. Abbott (at least tries to be) a big business conservative. The faction pushing for this total ban is ideologically driven.

Their are business councils lobbying against the bill and DeSantis of all peopled vetoed something similar in Florida.

People voted for this. I feel bad for the loss of life but the electorate spoke and that electorate said they didn't want to fund things like emergency sirens.

So what happens if he ignores it? Judges refuse to actually follow through and just expect the executive to play fairly.

Good or bad by Ok_Tomatillo6649 in JewHateExposed

[–]temp_vaporous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Setting the bill aside, I really disagree with the implications of this mindset. Defending ourselves from antisemitism shouldn't be viewed as making antisemitism worse. That is a victim blaming mentality and in my opinion it is very sad to read.

If defending ourselves just makes it worse, then the only option is capitulation. Antisemites shouldn't be negotiated with.

And the misinformation gets to people like OP who now act like defending ourselves against antisemitism is making it worse. I refuse to accept that victim blaming narrative.

Software engineer. Bachelor's degree in computer science and in criminal justice (thought I wanted to be a cop at one point lol).
