OP: "Decarbonized formaldehyde is great. Just wash daikons with decarbonized formaldehyde and they turn white."
"Decarbonized formaldehyde" (脫碳甲醛) is an online phrase used to make fun of people that blindly avoid chemicals. Formaldehyde (H2CO) decarbonized is water (H2O).

Breaking my several year harry potter silence just to say that in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, they removed the harry potter reference they originally had in the game. Which means that if you still consume hp content and talk about it, you are doing worse than fucking capcom
@endigolikesarson In the original, for the running joke regarding Valant and doors, Apollo calls Valant a muggle
While in the remaster, he says this which is way funnier even without the baggage
Everyone reblogging this post saying stuff like "they probably changed it because of copyright/dated reference" NEEDS to know that 1. There are multiple references to Doctor Who and Star Trek and a character probably named after someone from Battlestar Galactica of all things and 2. The lead writer for the localization stuff with Ace Attorney uses they/them pronouns.
does the body ALWAYS have to keep the score? maybe we could just have a friendly game this time. maybe we can just have fun without putting numbers on it
in the same vein of "You have to love Jews more than you hate Nazis" to my fellow Yids: we have to love being Jewish more than we hate antisemites.
I know we all know this, but it helps to hear sometimes.
I love being a Jew. I love that I look forward to Shabbat services. I love that I'm looking forward to the High Holidays, I love that I've been tapped to do the aliyah for the Rosh Hashanah Torah chanting, I love that I successfully wrote my own name in Hebrew, at 32 years old, for the first time this past week, I love learning and growing and connecting and continuously rolling up my sleeves to enthusiastically wrestle with my identity with love and compassion and excitement.
I love being a Jew and I hope you do too.
I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it
Yahoooooooooo!!!!
Ship FedEx if you want your parcel thrown in the fucking creek!
Shavua Tov
Blessings for a good week, a safe and peaceful week, and may all the plans of our enemies fail.
… new… Torah… just dropped?
And yes JVP is promoting it
Every time I see one of these "antizionist Jewish texts" that have been twisted around for ideological reasons, the memory of my first "Islam Bashing" reviewer comes bubbling up. And the reason for that is because of the following mental association:
He defined "Tahrif" (i.e. Islamic supercessionism) as being not antisemitic (because clearly non-Jews gets to decide that, not Jews) because, to quote, "The concept of tahrif is that people, any people, are liable to change their scripture over time to fit their own ends, if there are not safeguards in place against that."
The fact that the Jewish religion and culture have extremely effective safeguards is just ignored.
So there's a deep and abiding irony in seeing that, on some level, he was right, that yes, there are people within Judaism who will try to change our scripture to fit their own ends...
But the irony comes from the fact that their ends are fundamentally in service to Islamist Supremacist outlooks, same as his.
"It's not antisemitic to accuse Jews of distorting their texts and that we have the one true interpretation!"
*group of self-hating Jews shows up with distorted versions of their texts twisted specifically to support his ideological stream*
"No, not like that!"
BTW Rabbi Ye has described being Jewish as admitting she has ‘blood on her hands’.
Didn’t she also convert?
No- she did not covert.
Her mother is not Jewish and her father’s father was Jewish (unclear about her father’s mother). She grew up with no connection to the Jewish community. Her father never practiced any Jewish rituals with her, but was a “vocal proponent for Palestinian human rights.”
She’s literally just not Jewish according to Reform, Conservative, or Orthdox Standards.
It’s hard for Rabbi May Ye to say how her identity as a Chinese American weaves into her practice of Judaism and her Jewish identity.
Update she is also not Jewish by reconstructionist standards. They fully ordained a goyishe rabbi 🤦♀️
I would go so far to say she is not actually a rabbi. Because she did not receive Semicha which every branch of Judaism had for their Rabbis.
And someone who is not Jewish by the standard of pretty much every branch of Judaism is not going to be going through any of those branches process of Semicha.
I know that we often compare JVP to Autism Speaks and that is good comparison.
But I want to make another one.
JVP is as Jewish as Messianics are.
Which is to say not at all.
And just like Messianics there may be people involved who are ethnically Jewish, but overall most are not. Both groups re-write and reinterpret both the Tanach and Judaism as they see fit. They speak over Jews all the time. Appropriate Jewish terms and culture and traditions without understanding or care for the meaning behind them.
And both groups are actively participating in a cultural genocide because that is what they are doing. They do not want to actual Jews to exist nor our way of life.
They want their version to be the only one that exists that is why they proselytize to us so much and when we refuse to convert we are met with harassment and degradation.
JVP do not want Jews nor Judaism nor Jewish culture to exist. They are doing their very best to make sure that only version is their version even though they have nothing to with actual Jews, Judaism, or Jewish culture.
What else do call that besides cultural genocide?
So let's make it simple:
Ms. Ye is a liar.
There. Nice and easy.
Unfortunately, May Ye did receive semicha in 2023 from the RRC. The fact that she is not Jewish by Reconstructing Judaism's own standards* is incredibly concerning, to say the least. Her motivations for becoming a rabbi confuse me, particularly given that rabbis lead...Jewish communities. How can you expect to lead a Jewish community effectively if you have no connection to Judaism and the Jewish people?
*my understanding is that the Reconstructionist movement has the same policy as the Reform movement when it comes to patrilineal Jews (which she is through her father): a child whose father is Jewish is considered Jewish, provided that the child is raised in a Jewish household with Jewish ritual (which she does not appear to have been).
She converted to infiltrate and hurt the Jewish community. What’s not to understand?
also worth flagging, I crunched the numbers and if you take the number of claimed members/supporters of JVP (750k, they don't mention the number of members) and the number of Jews who 'strongly support' BDS (since 'somewhat' could mean like 'Israel's doing bad stuff and should stop but fuck these BDS-ers are intolerably antisemitic'). Also worth flagging, back then only 56 percent of Jews heard about it but I'm gonna pretend like it's 100 percent. That works out to 150k people, given that there are 7.5 million American Jews. (If we take into account the 56 percent, it's 84k.) Even if we double those numbers, here are the potential estimates for how Jewish JVP is: 11.2 percent (most conservative), 20 percent (150k) 22.4 percent (double 84k), 40 percent (most liberal).
Note that none of those cross 50 percent.
Further note that JVP allows non-Jews to join.
Especially for an org marketing itself as Jewish, this is unusual.
The URJ (limits membership to "a Jewish member of a constituent congregation of the URJ, the Jewish spouse or child of such a member, or a clergy of such a congregation"), one of the most liberal Jewish organizations, doesn't let non-Jews join. I'm going to guess if the URJ doesn't let goyim join, neither do the OU.
Neither does the WZO, and their name isn't even explicitly Jewish ("Every Jew who has reached the age of eighteen and is willing to accept the Jerusalem Program, as defined in the Constitution, and pay membership dues...may be an individual member of the World Zionist Organization....For the purpose of this section, a Jew means a person eligible to make Aliyah to Israel in accordance with the Law of Return, and who is not a member of another religion (as stated in the Law of Return 5710-1950).").
On a more local level, you need to be Jewish (or have someone in your household be; they operate on a household level) to get grants from the Jewish Assistance Fund.
Further, the URJ, WZO, and Jewish assistance Fund don't make their whole shtick "look at how Jew-y we are, as a Jew we think [things the vast majority of Jews disagree with]."
So: JVP isn't that Jewish, they cannot be that Jewish, and they are misrepresenting themselves; furthermore, their letting non-Jews join is unusual among multiple major Jewish organizations (and one local one), all of whom have purposes beyond saying "as a Jew, blah blah blah".
So: JVP are liars.
there's no fucking way

At a time where jewish groups are being banned from pride events, you do not get to use Anne Franke, a dead jew murdered for being jewish before she could ever come out, as a puppet for whatever queer rights message you want to share.
You do not get to profit, financially or attention wise or another way, off of a *potentially* queer jew whilst we are banned from pride events.
We do not know if she was questioning her sexuality but ultimately straight or if she was actually queer because she was killed for the crime of existing as a jew before she could come out. Queer rights obviously matter. Anne Franke is not the person you should be using.
You need to protect alive queer jews. You need to love all jews, not just the dead ones.
I've had to delete multiple comments missing the point of the post
"But they banned zionists not jews", they banned jewish organizations, who refused to say they disavowed israel. That's like asking a local Chinese diaspora group to disavow the CCP or they can't be at pride.
The reason why its antisemitic is because its treating jewish organizations as guilty until proven innocent. Its treating jewish organizations as somehow being responsible for a foreign government's actions. Jewish organizations have to say again and again that they do not support the Israeli government to be allowed to exist in public. Its an extra step that non jewish organizations do not face. That's the antisemitism of it all. No other group was forced to disavow israel to attend pride.
This is an argument against straw men.
The only cases of restrictions against Jewish groups at Pride events occurred at Rome (which was universally decried) and Australia at their Mardi Gras event (which was immediately reversed).
There is no effort to ban Jewish groups from US Pride events.
Stop tilting at windmills.
People who attended Rome Pride with Pride flags that had a magen david on it were forced to leave and faced harassment. Whilst the magen david is on the israeli flag, it was a symbol used by jews before it ever had anything to do with the modern state of israel.
Silence goy and fuck off my post
Dyke March (again, for the second year in a row)
Montreal Pride (it only counts as banning them if it's in America's pride month, I guess- note how they restricted it to AMERICAN pride events)
London Trans pride
That took 3 minutes on Google to find. Imagine if you had actually fucking cared
But sure, jewish people are just tilting at windmills
@girlbossjodiarias is from Chicago. This is your city:
Organisers for the "inclusive" event said the rainbow Star of David flags "made people feel unsafe".
The Chicago Dyke March, part of the larger Chicago Pride events happening in the city this month, has faced controversy and condemnation as
And it happened again last year:
I believe anti-Zionists and Zionists should be welcome at the Dyke March. I was deemed 'unsafe'
Here's an article about how JEWS are feeling about being banned from Pride:
The fallout after the Oct. 7 attack has compromised spaces where we once felt safe
Stop this goyish bullshit of telling us we're making up antisemitism. We're not. You're just ignoring it. You're continuing a long and painful goyish tradition of telling Jews we're overreacting—gentiles from Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, and 1920s Europe at large all repeated the same nonsense. You're no different.
They did this shit in my city too. "Queers for Palestine" tried to block the pride parade for not being pro-palestine enough lmao. The ppl in the pride parade werent even jewish, they just weren't "being pro-palestine" enough for QFP.
Dipshit behavior I stfg, for a country who would throw your gay ass off a rooftop without hesitation. Remember that shameful fucking flotilla drama where a bunch of the arab groups got all pissy that there were queers on the flotilla lmao
QFP being antisemitic and homophobic while also co-opting anne frank as "queer history" as though anne frank and her family weren't fucking "zionists" lol. lmao nah, this is goyische jank lmao
Sinwar anticipated catastrophic Israeli retaliation—and attacked anyway
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib—a Palestinian-American analyst who grew up in Gaza—has published a furious response to newly revealed documents attributed to Yahya Sinwar. He calls Hamas a “genocidal cult” that sacrificed Gaza’s population for an international propaganda strategy.
I understand his anger.
The document in question was seemingly handwritten by Sinwar on August 24, 2022, more than a year before the October 7 attacks. It was recovered in Gaza by the Israeli military and subsequently published by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.
According to the document, Sinwar envisioned sending as many as 10,000 fighters across the border. They would breach the barrier at 25 different locations, seize junctions, attack military bases and enter more than 200 Israeli communities.
Residents would be expelled or taken hostage.
This was a plan for an enormous invasion of southern Israel.
Sinwar also considered how Israel might respond.
He was apparently uncertain about whether Iran and Hezbollah would enter the war. But he was certain that Israel would retaliate with overwhelming force.
He wrote that Israel would use every weapon available to it. He contemplated the possibility that Israel might use an atomic bomb against Gaza.
Nevertheless, Sinwar described the proposed attack as a “battle of life or death” and continued planning it.
This is an extraordinary detail.
Sinwar understood that the attack would provoke an enormous war.
He knew that Gaza was a small, densely populated territory facing one of the most powerful militaries in the Middle East. He knew that Hamas could not protect Gaza’s civilians from the consequences of the war it was initiating.
Indeed, in reality, they did not even try. There were no attempts by Hamas to build bomb shelters for Palestinian civilians. There were no attempts to secure Palestinian civilians alternative supplies of water, fuel, electricity in advance of the attacks, either. There was no plan to evacuate Palestinians away from the war.
Sinwar chose to attack anyway, without real preparation for the civilian toll.
(the rest of this essay is paywalled, but this section alone was worth sharing.)

People with terminal cases of antisemitic brainrot are so funny. Nowadays this would be considered healthy Mediterranean cooking, but this Spanish Inquisition guy was upset that the Jews were--checks notes--cooking with olive oil!!,! 😤😡
Glad everyone realized that we pioneered a superior cooking method though.
The Spanish Inquisition's methods for hunting the crypto-jews were often absolutely idiotic and nonsensical. They were generally unable to fathom that generations spent under muslim rules might have lead to a few different habits.
Another big one was eggplants, the Inquisitors refused to believe any good christian could eat eggplant because they were first introduced by the moors.
Often they become fixated on random things as secret proof of heresy that had no meaning at all.
Wife just got called a "zio" at the grocery store by some pink-haired little shitass while wearing a magen necklace and earrings.
Leftism, clean up your fucking house.
You first!!
Israel says it rejects allegations in a new report by the office of the UN secretary general.
The UN is made of countries like Iran, Russia and China, whose hands are a lot bloodier than Israel. Fuck 'em.
@Uraniumfever990 thanks for equating all Jews with the government of Israel, you biggoted fuck.
