Sour grape juice good.

Pay no attention to my username…

This is the first time the Democratic strategy hasn’t disappointed me in years. Nealy everyone is pushing in the same direction, and the messaging has been nearly flawless.

Putin can’t vote.

I know it’s cool to hate on The Big Bang Theory, but i loved his cameos on that show. He made fun of himself, and to a certain extent, the fandom, but the tone was so silly and self-aware, i loved it.

RIP

Just because the company making money off of purchasers says it’s good for cats. Doesn’t mean it’s good for cats. Other than one study that relied on surveyed answers from vegan pet owners, I haven’t seen any evidence that a vegan diet is safe for cats.

I don’t understand your hate. You hate him because his message has been consistent for 25 years?

Edit: full disclosure. I met Mr. Moore in 1998. He generously gave his time to speak to everyone that wanted to speak with him. He gave out personal contact information to some community organizers, and really seemed interested in helping a bunch of us kids who were trying to change the world. I really respect him a lot.

Old enough to prefer Driver 2 to Driver 1 because it had better graphics.

Just because it was the dominant religion in Germany at the time doesn’t mean that Nazism equated with religiosity. In fact, Hitler did not like religion being a potential rival to his power. The Nazi doctrine was very humanist, and drew,a lot of influence from science at the time. For example, the survival of the fittest mantra that had been popularized from Darwin’s studies was misappropriated by Nazi as part of their eugenics philosophy…

There were assholes before religion. Putting an emphasis on it being the problem is naive, imo. History is full of secular assholes. I.e. nazis.

There is a really funny South Park episode about this… Bottom line is assholes will be assholes with or without religion, which is just a convenient excuse for assholery.

But someone can make a board complaint if they can demonstrate false statements made by a member of the bar in connection with their representation. Chances are, nothing will happen… But it’s something.

I only see it as a big fuck you to the eventual democratic candidate. He splits the “progressive” side of the vote and gets the Republican elected.

I think all of their albums have songs equal to or better than SFTD. Is SFTD the most consistent throughout?? I don’t know. This coming from a guy that had SFTD in his cd player from 2002 to 2006. I

Live-Throwing Copper. It’s an absolute masterpiece. Their other albums have some gems, but the rest of the discography is nowhere near the quality of TC.

Jewish communities are often insular, which leads to an impression of otherness. Orthodox Jews may not frequent non-jewish run restaurants or other businesses due to religious restrictions/ pressure (i.e dietary restrictions). Often, those communities congregate in the same neighborhoods, within walking distance of synagogues and schools (prohibitions against driving on the Sabbath). There is pressure to frequent businesses and professional services of those neighbors. Also, the closer you live to someone, the more likely you are to have a relationship with those people (propinquity), which strengthens community integration. They are a minority religion, with obstacles to new participants joining. They may dress in identifiable ways. Wrap all of that together and you have a group of people that are often easily identified and perhaps perceived as “too good for” my restaurant, or my store or my school…etc… they become easy targets for hate.

Ironically, almost everyone else does the same thing, it’s just less noticable especially in larger cities or towns. But go to any small town, and it’ll be easier to see the similarities. Again people’s relationships are strongly informed by religion and propinquity… But because they are a blue eyed 'merican, who never misses the baptist sermon on sunday, and wouldn’t be caught dead in Pam’s hair salon because word on the street is she might be gay, they are seen as “normal.”

Praise the sun.

Without a base… Without a trace… Thank you jjgo!
