[edit] My original comment was a bit mean, forgive me if you already ready.

But I do want to say that I must have deserved a funny day because your reply made me laugh really hard, though maybe not in the way you intended.

You hopped into a silly conversation to accuse us of not taking antisemitism seriously.

And you gotta realize that this sarcastic overly-agreeable writing style you keep using is really not helping you beat the self-victimizing accusations.

I’m more than willing to change my behavior when I learn it’s actually insensitive. But earlier, you said you know you’re too sensitive and I agree. Why should I change for the 0.001% of people predisposed to being offended?

I appreciate that you were willing to change your mind on the first two after hearing the explanation

True, though I couldn’t tell how the combination of ingredients would prevent the label either.

And along with the combination restrictions, there are preparation restrictions, too. Gotta get Hebrew National when you invite Jewish friends at the summer BBQ as not all-beef hotdogs are kosher!

…damn now I’m nostalgic and want some latkes and [those folded up artichoke things I forgot the name of]

You’re playing the victim…again.

Have you always struggled with reading comprehension or is this a new development for you?

If you insist on getting the last word in, try to at least make it substantive

We definitely agree that nothing productive is going to come from any continued interaction between us here. I’m not backing down from my opinion that no one is making light of antisemitism and you’re too busy playing the victim to give me a real reason why I should.

Maybe we’ll get along in another thread. See ya there.

Bro. My family is from Skokie, IL. Like half of the people in my life are Jewish. I used a real example of someone “missing the point” for humor and their ethnicity is VERY relevant to my point that it’s not antisemitic to make jokes on the topic.

I have no idea how you get through life if your jimmies get rustled by two comments that weren’t in any way antisemitic. There are so many horrors in the world (including actual antisemitism) to get pissed about and THIS is the hill you’re gonna die on?

Arguing that Slimer wasn’t Jewish because he consumed ecto cooler, hot dogs, and books is funny as fuck.

No one in this comment chain was making light of antisemitism, though.

I feel like I’m about to ruin the joke but…what makes their comment so funny is that they’re (jokingly) missing the point and going off about something irrelevant with a fully-formed argument.

I fact checked in the first place to send to the same Jewish friend who once told me he hated Hitler…for taking that mustache style off the table for everyone. Not a guy you can accuse of not taking antisemitism seriously.

We’re discussing the ethnicity of a silly ghost character based on context clues the writers didn’t deliberately put in a film from 40 years ago, don’t take it too seriously

I think 1 and 2 are very, very clearly antisemitic caricatures but I’m also on the fence with the 3rd one.

I was an edgy 4chan user in my teens so I’m entirely too familiar with antisemitic comics. But I don’t think I’d even raise an eyebrow if I saw the 3rd one by itself. They kinda just exaggerate his existing features. His nose is just bigger, not hooked. The slimer one FEELS wrong but I can’t pinpoint why.

This comment is so funny I had to check: The ingredients seem kosher BUT they never got Kosher certification so it’s technically true.

And when I looked into similar packaged drinks, I found that almost none are kosher. Some of the same drinks ARE kosher when dispensed from a machine, though, so maybe it’s a preservatives thing?

Some very solid evidence that Slimer was not Jewish would be his glizzy gobbling. He didn’t ask the vendor if it was kosher, he just ate em.

My coworker sent me a screenshot of this the other day so I loaded a 2-page bid scope for a project. It spent half the time on the boilerplate terms and conditions

“Ah, so I see here that [my company] doesn’t run conduit”

“Yeah, that’s so true! It’s up to [client] to run the conduit before work begins”

“Right! Makes sense to me!”

There was also no option to save the mp3. You had to play it with the odd open

The chicken bake is great, I don’t know what these comments are about. It’s also the only menu item you can reasonably eat during the drive home

There’s a whole generation of adults who were just kids when it was in the news. Trump’s approval is tanking and more people flipping every day, open to hearing this information that they deliberately avoided.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been thinking way more about Iran than Epstein lately. So even for me it’s a good reminder not to lose sight

I wound up looking it up and forgot to go back and edit, he called it the Kinetiscope

A single person is powerless but a collective is not.

I think you vastly overestimate how much the average person knows about all this if you find no value in spreading the word. You might even overestimate how much the above-average person even remembers about the case. Epstein died 7 years ago and a whole lot of other bad things have happened since

Green because it has the same vowel sound as the letter E in English.

Here’s a fun fact: photography predates film (duh) but the 35mm standard for photography came decades after the 35mm film standard.

Photos were originally taken on plates until Eastman figured out how to put em on a roll. Thomas Edison immediately used this to make one of those early strobe things I forgot the name of. Not long after, they standardized the design. And then wayyyy later, Kodak released 135 film for photography.

Bonus fact: Both capture the same 35x24mm image but they’re physically different sizes because they’re captured in different orientations.

Hooray, now I can say I used my college degree this month!

Well, it’s specifically a novelty for politicians in MAJOR cities. Small towns (and even plenty smaller cities) have mayors with real civic engagement.

Fun anecdote from an unspecified Chicago suburb: My coworker and I always made small talk with the same guy in line at our Friday lunch spot. One day after getting his food he turned around and said (paraphrased), “Hey…did you see the proposal to repave [street] with a bricks? It will be so expensive and harder to maintain! Aahh! All right gotta run!”

We looked at each other like wtf then the shop owner said, “you know that’s the mayor, right?” Nope, we sure didn’t!

I would never want to live in that town specifically (wealthy but with an inferiority complex because of wealthier neighboring cities lol) but I love civic leaders who practice what they preach

What a bad take.

Why are you printing shit out instead of going and getting that there accountability taken care of, bro

What power do you think this non-profit has to do anything about it? Riling people up with a public exhibit that shows the physical scale of the files for the first time is more than 99.9% of people.

Including people like you making an anonymous comment on a server in another country about how someone you surely just learned about isn’t doing enough.
