Lol I went down that olive rabbit hole once during covid. So much more work than I thought

That might explain why I only ever get the texture from olives on pizza…which is…actually still ok with me. Flavorless for sure but yum olive texture

This is like that fridge post from yesterday…

The difference is that…cheap washing machines didn’t exist. Good modern washing machines last a long time while not wasting money and electricity.

You can’t compare the only available appliances of the 70s to the bottom-of-the-barrel now

Looking forward to getting back on dating apps at 38

Hold Home and Screenshot until it turns on and starts flashing then pair it on your phone

You’re right about that, I was moreso saying that his crappy browser tier list isn’t worth sharing

Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations

The Torah is just a series of tasks written by Alex Horne

Someone should screen record this embedded video of an embedded video of an embedded video lol

We’re clever creatures and I like that a religion recognizes that so deeply

The majority of Jews in New York are secular and therefore don’t have a mouthpiece like the major Orthodox groups. And it’s not even like orthodoxy is even “extreme”

A fraction of Jews are Orthodox and a fraction of those Orthodox Jews are extremists. So yeah, I wasn’t 100% correct but it’s not even in the same ballpark as what I replied to.

I’m not Jewish myself but it’s a really cool religion. Not that you asked, but my favorite rule bend in my time working with the Orthodox fellas was “shabbat mode” on his automation system. Using electricity is fine but they can’t use any sort of switch (flipping a switch = creating a tiny spark = creating flame, which is prohibited) so there was the obvious lighting automation BUT his wife requested an automated outlet in the kitchen and I asked by boss why…it was so she could plug in a hot plate before Sabbath and it would turn it on at 6 so she could serve a warm meal.

I really disliked that client but I loved that shit.

Bending the rules is very much a part of Orthodox Judaism for sure - it’s the only way to exist in today’s world. I’ve heard (from an Orthodox Jew I worked for) that priests talk to God and Rabbis argue. Questioning - or rather, being critical of - your faith is encourage.

But most jews in New York aren’t Orthodox. Most don’t even go to Temple weekly.

New York Jews are not extremists, though? They’re just normal people who happen to be Jewish

There was that Bluesky or mastodon post going around of writer I had never heard of telling people that now is the time for violence. Hundreds of upvotes in several communities.

Some random person with a pseudonym and a blog that writes like an angry 14 year old who’s never left the house.

I asked who this person was and why they were directing peaceful protests to become violent instead of doing it themselves and boy howdy did I get dog piled for it.

I looked into a bit (wow, Urdu is a really pretty-looking language) and google translate described as “the act of praising to convey meaning”

Is it like excessively praising the leaders not necessarily to impress the leaders themselves but to impress other sycophants? Like “I am more patriotic than you”?

Very real
