Are you sure about that? I call B.S. So take away the religious garb aspect and Hebrew lyrics and you would think what? That this a choir of Mormons?

Yeah use the ones you can easily get off. Does any man really not understand the reason such rings are international best sellers? As far as the unlucky man's pain, while I see such a procedure wouldn't merit general anesthesia, they couldn't have given him something to calm him down for Chrissakes? I'm asking but I guess I know that is a part of the culture that is not so lovely.

Yeah well you say you look visibly Jewy so you would notice a change more than people who don't or are ambiguous like me.

Sheit happens. I believe you. I've gotten bad service in Israeli restaurants sometimes because I wasn't Israeli. Life goes on. Yeah, I know you're looking for patterns. I don't think things are bad in Thailand. Clearly much better than in France, ha ha.

Yep you're antisemitic. Enjoy! Have you thought about treating people as individuals? Some good, some bad, like in any group as if any group is a monolith. Did I mess up a hospital in Pai? Too intellectually taxing for you?

Honestly I haven't really experienced this issue in Thailand IRL (except from hate posts on this forum) except for some funny (what are you?) looks at Arabic and Iranian restaurants. That could be about being western or American anyway. People who deny that many people do look and act ethnically Jewy to varying degrees even without wearing stars or skullcaps are really very clueless and ignorant. Jewish people understand that there is a range for that (like from could be a blonde Aryan Hitler Yugend to Woody Allen/Sarah Silverman). I'm somewhat in the middle, so ambiguous, so yes can be taken for some kind of "Mediterranean" or Middle Eastern. Hilariously there are many non-Jews that present as very ethnically Jewish. Also many non-Jewish New Yorkers sound as if they're Jewish. My context for ethnically Jewish is mostly in the American context (so mostly Ashkenazi) so there is even more to this than meets the eye. OK, I did have one uncomfortable experience with an Iranian restaurant I used to go to fairly often, but again this could have been about being western, but I'm sure being a western Jew would have been a bonus. The restauranteur was always trying to get me to talk about my nationality and I dodged the question repeatedly which of course he noticed. I don't want Iranian cooks to know too much but with buffets there are no worries. To people who say that's paranoid, you're wrong. I got a hostile feeling from that guy. On another occasion I did say I was American to a young Iranian server AFTER the food was served. I just got a positive vibe from him and it turned out I was right,. But generally don't ask, don't tell can be the sensible way to go.

The guy now running SS has announced that the DOGE boys don't know anything about how SS actually works so that inevitably big mistakes will be made as normal processes for changes are out the window. So anything can happen. Be prepared. This reminds me yet again of the Maoist cultural revolution where young ideologues replaced people that actually had expertise. Smash it all! Oh boy. It's maga-rific.

Bull. The point is mass deportations would drive up housing costs. Yes or no? Obviously yes.

You just lost.

Even the right wing New York Post gets it, dude. How Trump’s plan for mass deportations could affect home prices

I'm sure they're afraid now to be there Duh!

Ever been to a Home Depot parking lot?

Agreed on that anyway.

In any case, if Trump has scared off new illegal migration, I'm fine with that. but as said he's been a nothingburger on deportation numbers. The vast majority of Americans do want undocumented serious criminals deported. Get on with it but go lighter on people who are contributing. Many of those will also be deported but no rational reason to go overboard.

I have heard both Sachs and Mearsheimer many many times. Heard and rejected their narratives.

Kick too many out and housing costs will go even higher. Who do you think does most of the building trade jobs!?!

That's true. Trump has been incompetent on that. Nothing to do with the stupid massively more expensive military plan option.

The left is? You're hilarious!

Seems doubtful. Doge does nothing to stop Musk's business corruption or stunts like Trump driving around the Daytona track wasting millions of dollars on nothing. I'm actually surprised that they're stopping the massively overpriced military plane fascism theater. It's not about stopping deportations. It's only about stopping that stupid transport method.

Decent Americans want comprehensive immigration reform where productive undocumented migrants have a path towards being legal, etc. Republicans only want an endless political issue to run on.

He behaves exactly as an actual Kremlin asset would behave. Americans -- we're f-ed!

A Kremlin propaganda bomb.

That military fascism theater was just that. It was much more expensive than the classic methods. No decent American is against deporting dangerous criminal undocumented migrants.

Sachs is just wrong. From economist to Kremlin mouthpiece: The troubling transformation of Jeffrey Sachs www.thehill.com/opinion/international/4727046-from-economist-to-kremlin-mouthpiece-the-troubling-transformation-of-jeffrey-sachs/ Three weeks ago, Tucker Carlson invited economist Jeffrey Sachs for an interview, that could claim second prize in the category of “Whitewashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for Republican audiences.” First prize, of course, still belongs to Carlson himself for giving Russian dictator a two-hour interview, in which Putin embarrassed Carlson by offering events from 1,000 years ago as justification for Russia’s invasion in 2022. Carlson’s interview with Putin was widely quoted but also widely fact-checked. So, I would like to fact-check the Sachs interview as well. Sachs is well-known in the field of economics, considered one of the authors of the so-called “shock therapy” used on the economies of post-communist Poland and Russia. It is a shame to see this once-respected Columbia University professor stoop to the level of freelance Kremlin propagandist, promoting multiple pieces of Russian disinformation. Sachs’ propaganda speech justifying Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is disguised among supposed “historical facts,” many of which don’t hold up under scrutiny.

I have. He's full of Kremlin caca. He's a case of not a useful idiot for Putin, but a useful intellectual for Putin.
