Forgive me for being old, but I remember when Candace Owens was on the left wing and proposing/working on a doxxing website. Maybe I've judged her too harshly, but I don't trust her to be presenting genuine opinions, I think she's grifting off whatever gains her notoriety.

This is an older "meme" (dates on the original posts are from September last year) and I think people were calling it out as fake even then.

Ah, yes, he was totally denied entry based on the meme, and not because he was attempting to enter illegally.

I'm talking about both groups, I guess? I was raised evangelical, and a lot of those types could be called 'aspirationally jewish', or at least have a reverence for Jews and Judaism that is, in my opinion, unbiblical.

But I've met Jews for Jesus type converts, and while I was too young at the time to ask properly phrased questions to grasp just how much of their religious and cultural practices came from rabbinic/pharisaical Judaism, I know that they, at least, celebrated Hanukah, in addition to Christmas, so they had some cultural observances that weren't from "Old Testament Judaism".

I've met a few Christians that for various reasons observe Old Testament customs or holidays, some of whom were also ethnically Jewish. I don't know (and seriously doubt) whether the non-jewish Christians also follow extra-scriptural rabbinic teachings, so it might be a misnomer to call them 'culturally jewish', but I thought the question was clear enough for what it was.

Messianic Jew as in Christian who is ethnically/culturally jewish, or Messianic Jew as in waiting for the Antichrist?

Probably something along the lines of "Putin/Russia isn't trad", which it isn't, but an image putin' Putin next to a troon world leader isn't the best way of communicating that.

When they killed .compact, I stopped using Reddit on mobile. I still browse a handful of subs intermittently on PC, but that's it. They're never recovering from all the shit they pulled between the 2016 and 2024 elections.

Some of us have been around long enough to remember when Candace was on the other side of the aisle and proposing/working on a doxing website. She's never going to get a particularly warm reception from that segment of the group.

They're not making a live action Zelda movie, are they? If they were, Hunter Schafer would make a decent Link. But I'm pretty sure this is an animated movie in the same uni/multiverse as the Mario Movie, so the only thing that really matters for the casting is the voice, not anyone's appearance.

Angel Studios isn't Christian, it was founded by Mormons. And anyone who thinks they're 'based' hasn't done their research. When I first heard about them I looked into them and found they had a full on leftist/dei 'equal opportunity employment' statement on their website.

This reminds me of the people I've seen on here claiming PragerU is Christian...

You can advocate for violence in america. Incitement to violence is illegal, but that requires both imminence and specificity. You can say "kill niggers," but you can't say "kill those niggers", if said upstanding persons of color are in the vicinity.

I don't know what portion of Australians got a clot shot, so I can't give you calculations for there, but some quick, back-of-the-napkin math I did suggests you'd expect to see maybe a double-digit number of people people in the US dying on the same day as their shots just from basic mortality rates (about 9k/day, or .0025% of the population daily) and half the population getting a covid shot and a booster in a year, (about 400k/day, or closer to .1% of the population daily.)

Looking at Australia's population, I think it's safe to say that the number given in that article is probably an order of magnitude higher than would be expected, but if someone with more sleep and a better grasp of the data for Australia would do the calculations I'd feel a lot more confident in those numbers.

In the sense of the origin of the word as a slur (which must be what we are discussing here, as opposed to what people mean now, or we wouldn't be discussing the origins of 'kike' and 'nigger') it absolutely is incorrect, as the derivation from 'whip-cracker' came much later than the origin from 'braggart', and that derivation is suspect at best (note no contemporary citations to the practice of slavery in the US.)

I think it was downvoted more because of the incorrect etymology for cracker, and because Telia is a bit hyperfocused on the JQ compared to any number of other topics of conversation common on this board.

But I'm quite sure that Kikes don't like people pointing out the etymology of that word (for those of you that didn't want to click on the link, illiterate jews didn't want to mark their papers with an 'x' when they immigrated to America, because it looked too close to a cross, so they'd use a circle.)

12 year old

Is there a source on this? The initial claim I saw was that the thief was a '5 year old autistic child', but aside from what you can see on the video, most claims about the incident have been called into question.

Is Inhumans fiction? I've read maybe one good fiction book by political types, so I'm I wouldn't expect much from that if it is.

Autoerotic asphyxiation seems to be the preferred method of strangulation for males, based on all the stories of male rock stars found hanging in their closets with their dicks out. But even then, it's not exactly common.

Ah, yes, this comic is a totally accurate picture of how Austin Metcalf's father looks and behaves.
