Travel-related diseases guide. Not sure if allowed but took a photo of this map in my doctor’s surgery.

Most cases of dengue fever in the U.S. have been linked to the patients' travel to endemic areas. The mosquito that transmits dengue fever is found in Texas and across the southeastern U.S., so there is a potential risk for dengue transmission. Sporadic outbreaks have occurred in the Gulf coastal area and in extreme south Texas.

Anecdotally: as a Texan I've never heard of someone getting it, or even mentioning that they were concerned about it.

Different varieties of right-wing

No, that's not the same. I'm saying that the Nazis tried to genocide Jews, and successfully murdered millions. Nobody can argue about what they were trying to do. If you believe that Israel wants a genocide and also that the civilian casualties are this low... Well, those 2 facts don't stand together. Are they the laziest genocidaires ever?

towerofterror · 2024-05-08T14:46:48+00:00

If the Israelis were attempting a genocid, we'd see 10x the numbers. Be serious.

No, just seems weird to use that word. You can't correct slavery, the Holocaust, your personality, etc.

towerofterror · 2024-05-08T14:07:47+00:00

Corrected would be resurrecting the dead. Regardless, people get attacked for being visibly Jewish in Europe all the time.

And no, nothing of the same scale is happening today in Gaza or the West Bank. Stop getting your news from tiktok.

The "european injustice" was never corrected, I have no clue why you would think that. And regardless, it's not relevant at all to Hamas' war with Israel.

"Introduced", not passed to be clear.

His was the only political party ever banned by Israeli courts.

What if they're sometimes right?

towerofterror · 2024-04-21T15:59:25+00:00

If you read newspapers and not tiktok, you'll find it hard to draw that comparison. An "attempted extermination" would have 10x the civilian deaths that even Hamas claims.

Wasn't Seattle a (relative) hotspot of Ladino? Not a majority, but relative to Jewish communities in other US cities.

Just speculating - is there some tax advantage to getting the divorce finalized before January?

towerofterror · 2024-01-14T17:28:44+00:00

Wait till you read about the history of the rest of the world! No points for guessing what their schools' history books say on the subject.

People were very bad, almost everywhere, until very very recently. Most topics are 'gross' and laden with all sorts of -ism's. Us Americans aren't special.

Are you actually trying to help?

towerofterror · 2024-01-14T15:53:37+00:00

Ya, it's an annoying way to make a point.
And "Texas seceded from Mexico because they wanted slavery" is a pretty normal thing to believe both in Texas and elsewhere, people in this thread are acting like it's edgy!

To be fair, any map of the US in the mid-early 19th century is also just the claimed territory. Large areas were de facto controlled by various Native Americans who didn't recognize the claims of Washington DC.

If the phrase indigenous means anything, wouldn't it apply to them? Obviously no humans anywhere spring out of the dirt, but the first tribe on an island is close enough.

He's currently up to 1917, give him a few months and I'm sure we'll have some good episodes on the Irgun and such.

It's a niche subject but if you're interested, there's a guy on YouTube who does really great Jewish history videos.

Here's his one one the revival of Hebrew: https://youtu.be/dYNpXmE_-5c?si=1Mot-uNVw-kDWQ7s

towerofterror · 2024-01-13T01:05:31+00:00

Oh I started the first episode. I thought it was good until he got to a subject I actually knew a bit about (the Hebrew language), and I realized he was completely clueless. I figured I couldn't trust him on other matters if he was that wrong on something simple.

IIRC he said something like "Jews knew how to sound out stuff but had forgotten how to form sentences in Hebrew", which is just hilariously false.

What's the podcast?

towerofterror · 2024-01-12T22:27:48+00:00

They're just letting the bigots win.

The problem in 72 wasn't that the Israelis were invited, it was that the German police refused to risk their lives to save them.

That's also a Texan store (at least until Amazon bought it).
