idk why we have to consider that, just cast jewish people for jewish characters so they can bring their actual lived experiences to the audience.

Harlan Ellison, who was born in Ohio and grew up amongst maybe a bit of antisemitism back then, was pretty grateful to get the fuck out of there if memory serves. 

The speech of ethnic Jews from Idaho mostly sounds like “Get me the fuck out of Idaho.”

You are making the assumption that “New Yorkish” is independent of Jewishness, though. It isn’t. The ancestral language of many Jews (and among many Hasidic Jews their current language) is Yiddish. Much of the “New Yorkish” accent and vocabulary used even by non-Jews in NYC is derived from Yiddish. Outside NYC with a…

I believe she’s speaking of Jewish ethnicity, not religion.   Also, I’m not saying anyone has to do anything.

My boyfriend and I got sober together in the first year-ish of our relationship (friends for like 8 years before that.) I wouldn’t recommend that route, necessarily, but so happy that it worked out for us. 5 years sober, 6 years together!

I think it's important to recognize that he broke his years of sobriety (or however long it had been) in 2020. Alcohol can do some incredibly horrible shit to your life, including trashing your relationships and ruining everything good in your life. Her being blindsided is, unfortunately, just all too common - I'm…

Yeah, their GDP would rival a remote village in the Himalayas ... but, by all means, go nuts you rural idjits.

I just listened to a podcast yesterday about the State of Jefferson, had never heard of it before. WOW.

What is stopping people from suing women who miscarry

If this is allowed to stand, what is to stop a left-wing state from giving folks standing to sue any industry they don’t like for anything bad they might or might not have done in the past? Or will the Texans start to have second thoughts about this…

so, people who advised those who seek abortion or paid for the procedure can be held financially liable...? I wonder how many of those Republican politicians who surreptitiously send their wives/mistresses to get secret abortions would appreciate their names being thrown into the lawsuits?

This is what cracks me up about these geniuses. Medical people wear them constantly and seem to be just fine. 

So --according to your neighbor-- surgeons and other OR staff have been living a very unhealthy lifestyle for say the last 100 years or so. Sounds like you are living next to the next Einstein. /s

Can we not just let this be a good story? Getting judgemental about the choice of charity receiving the customers’ goodwill seems petty.

1) why should i have to explain my medical history to anyone ever, it’s no one’s business ever

Yeah, sorry, I don’t give a shit about your feelings in the face of a public health crisis the likes of which we’ve never seen in our lifetime. Priorities.

Maybe on progressive sites on the internet but don’t act like that’s the norm.

The Rock got COVID.

Maybe she won’t get Covid because no one wants to get within 10 feet of her anyway?
