That curse has been rattling around in my head a lot these days...

Well said points and also thank you for your responses.

Thank you for adding context the article didn't bother to.

FWIW I agree there's a vile association that Zionism has created by claiming itself so intrinsically part of Judaism, one rife with hypocrisy and catalysts for undue hatred against Jews. That said, it's difficult to see people's homes targeted by protests like this with the rise of the Neo-Nazi right as it is in America. Its easy to get one's hackles up. Personally, I'm not sure I agree with the tactics due to the optics, but I also don't think it's really my place to critique the methods of the oppressed against the oppressors. Though, I think these sorts of tactics make more sense in Israel and Palestine than in NYC and perhaps there are more fitting targets who have more impact on US policy towards Israel, but I also understand that those people may be far more difficult to reach and the consequences for trying far more dire.

I'm not sure we read the same article.

I think the quoted people were saying that throwing paint and writing slogans on the homes of Jews is antisemitism.

Lemme be clear and say what Israel is doing in Gaza is abhorrent.

I'm not seeing how defacing the homes of 5 people in NYC just because they're Jewish stops the genocide of the Palestinians or helps them in any way.

What connection do 5 Jewish board members at the Brooklyn Museum have to what's going on in Gaza?

I've never really seen an issue with the standard glass beer bottle in North America, is there a superior bottle shape that I've been missing all my life?

Shapiro, Peterson and Kirk do suck total ass, but it's kinda ugly to be throwing out the term lizard people at a Jew since it's something outta David Icke's playbook and a non-small number of people actually buy into that dreck.

The Wolfenstein joke is funny af tho

I think you should try it. I think an hour is appropriate for a lot of the story beats if you have a decent memory, though maybe an hour and a half would be better suited to some of the more involved parts. A lot of this is affected by your reading speed. There's a lot of reading.

For what it's worth, I also played it in bursts, but probably something like 2 hr sessions. There's a lot of rough, serious material in that game and I found it a lot to process at once, so I took breaks between sessions fairly often.

I'm guessing the polling method asks if you're more likely or less likely to vote for Trump if he's convicted then later asks your affiliation. The article goes on to say something like 44% of democrats were less likely to vote for Trump post conviction. Were they likely to vote for Trump to begin with?

Vodka and sushi! What a combo! Where'd y'all get the idea for that?

I had a lot of family gatherings with vodka and pickles where we'd eat fish later, but never sushi. I'm not saying it's a bad pairing or anything, just an unexpected and unheardof one to me
