I shouldn’t lol but lol I can’t imagine how that poll would look, no way to come up with a non-bias creating question I’d guess.

But hateful people of all types are always way louder than the rest of us. And yes, lots of propaganda and legitimate fears will push some into the wrong. But I’m betting, just like the general population, the Jewish population is mostly good. All the ones I know and associate with certainly are.

Actually, not even the majority…

I’m not American, but I just assumed the reason nobody was going to get paid is because the accounting/payroll office is part of the shut down. Am I being told that there is some other mechanism keeping everyone from getting paid? Like some autodeposits haven’t gone through?

They aren’t going to respond since they can’t read my friend.

Sure her early stuff could be considered basic, not that that stopped millions and millions of people connecting with it.

But some of her later albums really surprised me. If you have the time and are interested, Folklore was lyrically interesting and I quite enjoyed “The Last Great American dynasty” specifically.

I read the article but I’m not 100% clear… Who filed the settlement and who is receiving the money?

The headline is doing exactly that. My first reaction was “of course some asshole is, probably a conservative.” And then I clued into the photo and recognized the buffoon. If I wasn’t a Canadian, or didn’t have the picture, or maybe wasn’t good with faces, I would have scrolled by not realizing the idiot in question iis the leader of the Conservative Party.

A responsible headline would have said that. It might as well have said “A random white guy from Canada is openly spreading propaganda.” I mean it’s a true headline right? Not misleading at all.

And pay attention if you are buying one that you don’t need to connect it! Let the company know you’ll buy a “dumb” fridge to avoid their bullshit.

I loved that logo. Thanks for the reminder I wonder if I still have that pin…

PSA: is the ceiling above your heater low? Check the clearance and make sure the new rod can stand straight up to get into the heater. You can buy segmented rods to avoid this problem.

Don’t ask how I know.

I don’t even know what you are arguing then.

So make the lanes narrower and add speed bumps to slow people down, and also make a passing lane for every speed bump and expect assholes not to use it? Almost as clueless a suggestion as the generic “just redesign every street and intersection in every city to make driving faster impossible!”

Barriers have their place and I don’t mind having a narrowing area and speed bumps in front of a school or in a parking lot or whatever. But in a lot of places a camera is a simpler, cheaper, easier, better solution.

And a fire truck or Ambulance is quite capable of going 20-30 above a speed limit in an emergency most times of day and days of the week. I think as a society we take that small increased risk, balancing it with sirens and special driver training, so that people can have help arrive as fast as possible.

Hey you are right. A cop would have a stronger, more immediate affect. For the 8 hours they are sitting there. And while they aren’t out of their car giving a ticket/letting their buddy or a hot chick off with a warning.

Cameras work. They are there 24/7. They don’t discriminate.

Are they a replacement for an officer driving the streets? Nope. How come there wasn’t an officer at that construction site or nearby to catch that 10x offender? Is it because it’s incredibly difficult and resource intensive to do so?

I got a ticket when they changed the speed limit on a road I traveled daily twice in under a year and then added a camera. So speed change was 60-40, and I got a letter in the mail and a ticket for going 50. I was just going with traffic. I knew there was a new camera but every day day after day, you just start driving with traffic.

Well after that ticket, I stopped being lazy and started actually driving. And over the next month or so I could see who had gotten a ticket and who hadn’t yet. And slowly traffic shifted down to the point where I was going with the flow of traffic again, enough people had either got a ticket or had got used to driving behind someone who had that everyone chilled out and started observing the limit.

That’s how these cameras work. A cop could be parked there for years and not have that affect, and also a cop couldn’t park there and wouldn’t have anywhere to pull someone over without creating major traffic problems.

Why? Why should I have to drive over speed bumps when I am happy going the limit? A camera doesn’t affect me, narrow lanes and speedbumps suck and make driving less pleasant. What happens when a fire truck or ambulance is trying to get to an emergency?

Maybe we shouldn’t be talking about this right after it happened??!?! Give the dead child’s family some time! Now is not the time for gun control arguments it’s the time to come together and support the victims, especially the man who shot the child, nobody thinks of their suffering!

I didn’t disagree with your “allocation” nor did I accuse you of antisemitism nor did I “connect Israel with all Jews”, perhaps your reading comprehension is worse than you would like to think. Explaining subtext as to why something would be perceived as a thing doesn’t make you that thing.

Let me put it this way: is it antisemitic to forget that the Jewish victim exists when discussing Nazis stealing art ? If not, does it SEEM like antisemitism if YOU then start talking about taking that money/painting that was stolen and rightfully belongs to some Jewish family somewhere, and giving it to Palestine?

Your comment made the connection.

The funds, or painting itself, should be returned to the families it was stolen from. That family was very likely Jewish. So you saying “give it to Palestine!” implies taking from Jewish people, which would be unfair, but in this context also implies they “owe” it because Israel is to blame, and Jews=Israel.

I do see your connection now that you have explained it though, I wonder if maybe you just stumbled and missed the very negative subtext within your suggestion.

So… I am not trying to be clever here… That makes ICE qualified to manage protesters?

Why is ICE involved in handling this protest? I had no idea they were trained or authorized to do that.
