Oh You're so right. I had a salad with sliced chicken breast for lunch today that I ate with chopsticks. Soo much easier

  1. We eating chips and popcorn with chopsticks now.

You're welcome for cleaner fingers and everything you touch with them.

  1. Beer ain't getting served without some sorta pickle.

  2. Pets will be told about foods, walks, and treats in a foreign language as to prevent them getting excited about things they love during normal conversations

  3. More ducks than chickens. Duck eggs are better, duck meat is better, duck fat is better than schmaltz

  4. It's now so wildly normal for men to wear crop tops

You're fucking welcome

  1. You're getting paid for your commute time now. Your employer is covering tolls, transit passes etc.

I once played in a LARP where one of the characters backgrounds was from a culture that emphasized the importance of trade and had established a number of rituals around the trade and barter of goods. Some examples being:

  • Haggling usually occurred over a freshly brewed pot of coffee made by the seller, the quality of which would set the stage for who had the upper hand in the barter.
  • the buyer would usually tell a story about how their acquaintance or distant relative got the product for a better price in another city and the seller would inevitably tell the buyer how much time and effort it would take to get to that city to get the same price and how their price is worth the difference.
  • Both parties would tell complete, but almost believable lies to claim the price should be higher or lower, but it was polite to interweave their lies into yours such that directly disproving either parties lies would make the points of both parties crumble, as to discourage that

It didn't, like, get me hard or anything, but it was a lot of fun to spend most of the weekend hawking fake goods and telling stories of "far away lands".

So like I half get it. Not entirely but just kinda.

I think there's something compelling about an empirical model of morality because it's easier.

Nazis defy this.

Nazis must destroy themselves for society to be moral and just.

Tolerance is a Paradox. In order to create a tolerant society, we must be intolerant to intolerance. Nazis epitomize intolerance and cannot be tolerated to any extent.

Yeah they make accounts on different instances to spread right wing nonsense until they get banned for ban evasion. They do this every few days.

It's bizarre.

Oh look a new Universal Monk account to block! Shocked you haven't run out of instances yet.

I see.

I think your goals here are noble, but I feel it's inappropriate and I find your posts here somewhat offensive as you're implying you are a Jew when you are not. Perhaps Christians and Muslims would feel differently, but posting things like "What are you scared to ask your rabbi?" coming from someone who doesn't and wouldn't consul with a Rabbi as a faith leader themselves is inauthentic and misleading.

I don't think you mean harm, but I also don't think it's hard to see why this sort of behavior is inappropriate.

You shouldn't be putting yourself in a position to speak on behalf of Jews when you aren't a Jew. I don't think you should be making communities on our behalf and wait for a Jew to take them over, masquerading as a Jew in the meantime. You should close this, it's disrespectful.

I see. Which faith of the multiple communities you're moderating do you follow?

This is sort of a confusing question. The New Testament are the Christian texts that posit that Jesus is the Messiah, son of God, which is part of the core ideology of Christianity and is not something recognized by Judaism. You might as well ask why the Koran is not a canonized text of Christianity.
