Now I’m imagining a rabbi walking around a warehouse blessing boxes stacked high with breast implant sacs and scribbling on a clipboard to certify that they do not contain any pork…
Of course I’m a gentile so I probably am seriously misunderstanding the kosher process but it did give me a giggle.
Is that also filled with made up quotes, quotes taken out of context and/or gross misrepresentations of what people really said; all for the purpose of saying “look at those stupid people (that I had to make shit up about to make them sound stupid!)”
I read somewhere that voluntarily getting a tattoo disqualifies one’s remains from burial in certain Jewish graveyards. Something about intentionally causing harm to/disfiguring one’s own body, I gathered.
Whether that’s true, or whether my speculation about the actual commandment behind the prohibition is correct, I have no idea. I’m also not sure that it falls under the heading of “Things That Are/Are Not Covered By The Laws Governing What Is Kashrut And What Is Treif.”
Beats the hell out of me. I found it unnavigable, and therefore unreadable. I’ve been on this platform for eighteen years, and I’m NOT going to put forth the effort required to become fluent in ANOTHER thread format.
Calling something ‘virtue signalling’ is really only a sign that you yourself are lacking in virtue and do not see any value in virtue or goodness. You also very likely believe that everyone else in the world is exactly like you.
In other words, you’re a piece of shit calling out someone else for thinking that they’re a good person when you don’t believe anyone is good. But that person’s actions trigger the rotted carcass of your own conscious and the only way you can distract from that internal dissonance is to mock the other party.
So henceforth translate all occurrences of ‘virtue signaling’ as the speaker saying; ‘Good god am I a piece of shit’.
Political correctness is the stupid liberal idea of the decade. Look at these examples.
(Many of these are from right-wing idiots rather than the lawnmower-lady clique, but the Liberal Idea thread seems lonely so I posted here. )
Hoop earrings are No-no: they appropriate Latino identity
Dr. Seuss is racist
Casting a black for Star Wars is “White Genocide”
whites mustn’t quote Beyoncé
saying “Don’t disregard opposing viewpoints” in a commencement address is advocating white genocide
Justin Trudeau’s pro-refugee policies “prolong the genocide of Indigenous people”
the film Dunkirk was sexist and racist: why no black women soldiers on the beach?
a video game where shooting Nazis is a goal is “anti-white”
Et cetera
I realize these stupidities are all far more extreme than the politically correct stupidities espoused at SDMB. But enough is enough! Let’s Live and Let Live.
Progressive thinkers with their sanctimonious p.c. ideas led to the election of Donald Trump. Please Get a Clue or Get off the keyboard.
I think the worst part of the Internet nowadays is that if only 1 or 2 people out of a country of 350 million say something is racist or anti-white, suddenly it means it’s true for everyone.
