Sounds like he has mostly non trained up partisan support? The exemption was open to students studying full time at yesheva. Ultraorthodox could still choose to serve. I imagine some did. There are also plenty of right wing anti-Palestinian racists who aren't ultraorthodox. But overall I imagine the IDF and IDF reservists are less ultraorthodox than general Israeli society. This is my across the ocean view at least. I don't have hard numbers off hand. I would not put my hopes on "well if it comes to violence in the streets the democracy side will be better trained and organized". When I did birthright a decade ago we stayed a few days at a kibbutz settlement in the occupied west bank. They had their own private security force walking around with assault rifles. Most were some degree of Orthodox but I wouldn't call the place ultraorthodox by any stretch. If I remember correctly at least a few of the security personnel I talked to served in the IDF. Also the trip organizers were really mad at me when I told the rest of the group we were in a west bank settlement.

Not saying it’s right but as far as the ME report is gonna say, this was perpetrated by an angry white man. Who got got by actual cops, not whatever the gently caress those hundreds of boys in Uvalde want to call themselves. Unless she was post op. I think. It’s been a while since I binged SVU. Also, SVU is fictional and takes place not just in a different state, but reality itself. I say that, because the same could be said of Tennessee itself. gently caress this person for what they did, and what will come of it.

Modern Israeli politics has always befuddled me because it seems like everyone hates the Haredi, albeit for different reasons. The dwindling left seems to hate them for taking advantage of Israel’s generous welfare system without contributing much to it (“Torah is my profession!”) whereas the hard right hates them for not serving in the IDF. And it seems to me that the settler bloc could show J6 types a thing or two about being extremely militant, entitled and armed, although strict adherence to Orthodox Judaism doesn’t seem to be their thing, just ethnic and historical supremacy. I’m not Jewish but spent a lot of time reading English-language Israeli media (Haaretz, JPost, YNet, Israel National News) and the divisions between each outlet were pretty stark. This article is 12 years old but has always struck me. It’s long but well worth the read, especially when you consider that people like these teenage settlers are starting to get into positions of power or influence. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/girls-at-war Edit: LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Not saying it’s right but as far as the ME report is gonna say, this was perpetrated by an angry white man. Who got got by actual cops, not whatever the gently caress those hundreds of boys in Uvalde want to call themselves. I have to admit that one thing I struggle with is when lovely people start claiming that they’re transgender or nonbinary. Ezra Miller, the Flash star, was actually grooming underage girls and identifies as non-binary, the Colorado Springs shooter tried to claim they were non-binary, and now this shitbag in Tennessee may be trans as well. Having known a few trans/non-binary people, I grapple with wanting to be respectful and supportive of people’s identities and their pronouns with also feeing like none of the aforementioned people or those like them have earned the right to hide behind a nonconforming gender identity given that their horrible actions will make it that much harder for people who are already struggling for acceptance in an increasingly hostile social space. I also recognize this isn’t my gate to keep as a cishet white dude but gently caress, this is going to get so much worse for LGBTQIA people now. pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Mar 28, 2023 |

Which comes hot on the heels of being able to hide if you're Verified or not because Elon had a tantrum about people making Verified Account Block Lists. "For You" is about to become a way to see who bought their Blue and then hid their checkmark out of shame.

Wanted to see what it was like in the big famous place, dreamt of it since I was a kid! I'm currently, as I always should have done, doing small jobs for little places that have about 3 employees. I am never ever doing that poo poo again, the stuff I saw, jesus. I actually had the thing from office space happen when I had 4 different bosses bollock me within a few hours for not hitting a target they never mentioned.

No, you see, he got a settlement while as governor he outlawed punitive damages. Nevermind that his settlement was only as large as it was due to the threat of punitive damages.

It never fails to baffle me when people get all salty they can't use their favorite slurs. There are lots of ways to call someone a piece of poo poo, be more creative. Like, if someone says this word is making them or someone else uncomfortable, why is that a problem for you?

It's also wild to think that IKs and mods are not omnipotent and might not have seen the post in question before you did. We are human and trying our best. The military and military adjacent space has historically been really lovely about how they talk about women. We've tried to make this a more inclusive space that welcomes all.
