I'm glad you're really enjoying the smoothies.

I went to college with a guy who had entered at 15 and was on track to have his PHD by 22. I'm not sure all of the other stuff surrounding the degree such as the social stuff was particularly easy for him.

Honestly this is a pretty mild take, and having lived in the deep south for a long time after my conversion to Judaism I can absolutely witness to the fact that southern antisemitism is very real.

Just wanted to let you know before you close your account that I've really enjoyed what you've brought to Babka, and I wish you blessing and success in whatever you do going forward.

@dukepaaron @raf @pixelartdragon We can include America in this, not just Europe. And not everything that resulted from the Haskalah is bad, (the work that's been done regarding inclusion of people with disabilities, just as an example), but some of it has turned out to be very bad for the Jews, (the militant assimilation because it was thought that this would save us and it turns out to not have done that at all, for example).

This whole situation is just sad in so many ways.

Yeah he seems to be doing an excellent job too, but I had the women in mind. But honestly should probably acknowledge all of what's left of never-Trump, because a lot of them really did pay some steep costs.

Looks like the only one left standing is going to be Liz Cheney.

@BorrisInABox And they absolutely shut down domains they do not approve of.

@BorrisInABox There's also the .af TLD. People really do need to quit using that one because it's now controlled by the actual Taliban.

Probably an amazingly large number of things.

Aw Summer is the bestest good girl!

Please tell me you didn't watch that new hostage video.

I hope you have a restful and enjoyable holiday and that the family decides to not attempt to pile on.

@tobie1 You've provided a total of one link, along with some screenshots without descriptive text. And that link is from MSN of all places. If you want links I'll be happy to provide for any statement you like, but crying propaganda and enemies over any criticism of Biden or his record isn't going to help win an election.

@8124 @tobie1 No, I don't hate Biden. But just because he'll get my vote doesn't mean I'm going to ignore that he's horrible at foreign policy while doing pretty good on domestic stuff. And, Israel maintaining security control with freedom of movement is not occupying Gaza. It can't leave a vaccume and it can't allow the PA to handle security until it's supposedly revitalized, whatever that means. Also, Biden approved Rafah after it already started and after Israel already demonstrated that it isn't going to intentionally kill non-combatants as it's been repeatedly accused of doing.

@tobie1 Also, not funding the PA as long as it pays terrorist salaries is quite literally the law in these here United States. Biden has chosen to violate that, maybe with good intentions at first, but after October 7 it's pollyannaish to say the least.

@tobie1 If the PA is going to support terrorism then it should get its funding from somewhere else, not our tax dollars. If you ever want to get to a Palestinian state, then the support for terrorism has to quit being insentivized. If you have another way to do this I'm all ears. Re: appeasing Iran: The Biden admin has reintroduced the Obama admin's policies concerning Iran, which have already been proven not to work. It was one thing to try them out once, it's an entirely separate thing to do it again because surely the second time around it'll definitely work.

@tobie1 Um that never happened. If it had right-wing Israeli outlets would have been crowing about it. They haven't been. Look I get that you hate Netanyahu with the power of a thousand suns but I promise you that viewing the current war solely through that lens is skewing things for you.

@tobie1 Let me be more specific. The topic of a Palestinian state should be nowhere on the table at this point, and Biden should be making that clear. Instead he's pushing for a supposed path to one, which he has to know that no Israeli government is going to agree to, whether Netanyahu is involved or not. Because his domestic achievements aren't enough, and he wants to be able to crow about how he's fixed the Middle East.
