Random: No one said deliberately target civilians. before the war started the estimates were that there were 40,000 Hamas and jihad
soldiers. You target each one of them and if you collaterally destroy each soldiers 2 wives and 3 kids so be it. Do the math on that.I actually saw a video last week that seemed to be claiming Israel had actually attempted something along these lines, involving AI…
(I do want to note, though, that “estimating the number of something in the tens of thousands”
is very, very far from “knowing the location of each one of the tens of thousands of things.”)“Israel made a terrible mistake when it tried to play this stupid game. Israel should have come out of the gate much harder
killing hundreds of thousands of Gazans in the first weeks of the war which would have forced the Gazans to leave or die.”I don’t think deliberately killing non-combatants, particularly in large numbers, is something Israel’s leadership considers.
And where would the Gazans go, anyway?Isn’t this thread just great? https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/obama-fraud-and-destroyer-of-america
OPs such as that thread’s do not seem, to me, likely to lead to quality discussions. Perhaps you should tighten the reins.are you serious? With all the spewing these past years on presidents past and present you are bothered by this one?
“Addiction is nondiscriminatory. It doesn’t care about your religion”
Being Jewish is not merely subscribing to a religion. We are, in the words of the kuzari, a different beriah, a different level of creation above “medaber.”
A jew doesn’t have the same problems or the same mentality as anyone else. Of course yidden can get addicted, but the way you’re describing it is, i hate to use the word again because it makes me sound “extreme,” close to apikorsus.
Of course, of course. That’s why taavah, gaavah, kinah, and kaas are all unheard of among Jews
and the heilige seforim tell us we don’t need to work on these at all. Jews don’t have any desire
for ma’acholim tovim or other luxuries, either; any advertisements seen in frum publications for
such things are only so that we can buy suitable gifts for non-Jews of our acquaintance.**Only under the cirumstances in which one is allowed to give a gift to a non-Jew, of course.
Also, while people might change, psychological chazakos/umdenos do not. Even rabbi yoshe ber soloveitchik was staunchly opposed to any idea which questioned the application of things like טב למיתב etc.. he said these chazakos are metaphysical realities.
Isn’t there one about a person not denying a debt in their creditor’s presence that we don’t apply anymore?
(Hi, everyone. Don’t expect to see me much.)
You might get more helpful responses at the DansDeals forums.
Mods, if you will not allow a reference to an external website, please e-mail OP with that suggestion.
I do not find SQUARE_ROOT’s intention to be self-evident.
I also do not understand the relevance of the first response.
(Perhaps if I understood SQUARE_ROOT’s intention…?)Did something happen recently that OP is referring to?
Yes. You can google [Lakewood Snaps assault].
There’s also the use of “v’shochat” in the last bit of Chad Gadya.
My second sentence was a mistake. (I’m somewhat sleep-deprived at the moment.)
(By “you,” I meant whoever happened to be reading the thread.)
That’s not the way everyone else uses the word “alive.”
To avoid confusion, please find your own word to use.(It’s just “regardless” – “irregardless” isn’t an actual word.)
I don’t think you read that last paragraph thoroughly before posting it.

I didn’t think of Chananya Weissman… (I’m not here much, though.)
(As for the WSJ, people will hold of anything that leans conservative.)
I first got struck by that when I let my young kid to play an innocently-looking game, and we had to go somewhere, so I asked to play “until the end of this game”, and he replied – “what do you mean, this game does not end”…
(Score-as-much-as-you-can games that end only when a
loss condition is reached go back at least as far as Tetris.)I don’t have a kosher phone, and I see nothing wrong with that.
I’m not sure what I meant by that – I’ve never owned a smartphone, and I don’t
think I’ve had a cell phone at all since coming back from yeshivah in Eretz Yisrael.
(Perhaps I was waiting for someone to ask so I could say that.)2168764 got an eyebrow raise from me.

Sorry, I shouldn’t have assumed you were using “pure democracy” carelessly.
(At least it’s useful to anyone unaware of the meaning of the term.)Regarding the “quiet agreement” of the Russian people…
DICTATOR PUTIN CRACKDOWN: Hundreds Arrested As Russians Protest Ukraine Attack
For those of you who are new here:
( “Direct democracy or pure democracy is a form of democracy in which the electorate decides on policy initiatives without legislative representatives as proxies. This differs from the majority of currently established democracies, which are representative democracies.” – Wikipedia )
It’s “nouveau riche,” from French, not Spanish (in which it’d be “nuevo rico”).
Not getting it right the first 2 times.
whatcha sighing about?
<i>(It’s been a while.)</i>
Dictators are not [i]melachim[/i], who rule by the will of their people,
but [i]moshlim[/i], who rule against the will of their people.I recently heard (over Lakewood Plaza’s outdoor sound system) part of a Yiddish song that sounded like it was about a visit to a DMV, passport office, or some such. What might it have been?
I’ve been told they’re from “Little Tree” (Abie Rottenberg, Journeys 4) and “My Fellow Jew” (Avraham Fried).
The 8th post in that thread is “The earth was freshly painted but the sky was feeling blue,”
which also returns no Google results.I doubt you have any idea how many more people have committed suicide as a result
of being the victim of such crimes than as a result of having been accused of them.However middle class families need to earn a salary that forces them to pay
taxes that can only be afforded by the wealthy, so as such they must stay poor.Correct me if I’m wrong, but in the US, don’t you only pay each tax bracket’s
rate on the portion of your income that puts you in that tax bracket?It is up to Hashem to decide how many children you have. You shouldn’t be acting to interfere with Hashem’s nature during the natural occurrence of events.
… deliberately acting to limit the number of children and the other looney toon ideas proffered.Original post:
c) Because they’re older, they won’t end up having tons of kids.On the woman’s side, at least, no intervention is being made.
I don’t know the proper hashkafa on family planning (my local public library has a copy of Rabbi Mendel Dubov’s Shall We Have Another? A Jewish Approach to Family Planning, which I’ve been planning to read), though I will note that I can’t remember the last time I saw a tzedaka letter saying the person had a relatively small number of children and was deeply in debt from chasuna expenses.
Mishpacha had a piece about this 2 weeks ago. Google [ “Fuzzy Math” “Alexandra Fleksher” ].
Sometimes it may be so they can say things that wouldn’t be tolerated in real life.
I had never heard of it. You need to be looking for “Fliegel’s Flight.”

Being fined or jailed isn’t enough for you, I guess.

Everythung we believed or thought to be true will be dismantled very soon….Bill Gates is only the puppet of those managering his “ideals.” Those who deny Baalamd child trafficking and that which is going on amongst the “elite” etc…
Oh, look, it’s a Q believer.
President Donald Trump was Brilliant on the Debate last nite, and definitely won the debate.
…
Biden lied badly concerning his son & Ukraine, as well as numerous other lies,
and no liar can be put into the Oval Office:- Period!!Trump lied worse than Biden did, according to a fact check review I read.
Also, Trump’s disregard for the truth is well-known, so by that logic…
As for the winning:
Debate watchers were pretty decisive in their verdict of last night’s performances: Only about one-third said Trump’s performance was “somewhat good” or “very good,” and 50 percent said it was “very poor.” Biden’s performance was more positively received, with around 60 percent saying they thought he performed well. – FiveThirtyEightIf the whole point of thousands of people wearing masks is to make thousands

Suggestion: Delete the drivers for the relevant hardware.
(If reversibility is desired, note their location, back them up on something, and
give it to someone who wouldn’t know what to do with them to hold on to.)(Sure, it’s possible to get new drivers off the Internet or another laptop
with the same hardware, but you’d first need to know that was the issue
and then also have access to one of those sources.)I heard until 9 min after shkia
This is Reb Moshe’s shita about washing for Shalosh Seudos,
according to Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen (The Radiance of Shabbos).but I think AOC basically summed it up recently when she commented how being morally right was more important than being factually correct. If it seems right and feels right, it is right. And when you base your morals on whatever your gut feeling is
I looked this up, and it’s a misrepresentation. She wasn’t saying that it’s
more important for a given statement to be morally than factually correct,
she was commenting on people focusing more on fact-checking her than
on whether her positions are right.“If people want to really blow up one figure here or one word there, I would argue that they’re missing the forest for the trees,” she said. I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
Cortez said being “morally right” is more important than being “factually right” and that whenever she makes “a mistake” it is not the same thing as President Trump “lying about immigrants.”
“But being factually correct is important,” Cooper told her.
“It’s absolutely important,” Ocasio-Cortez agreed. “And whenever I make a mistake. I say, “Okay, this was clumsy.” And then I restate what my point was. But it’s not the same thing as the president lying about immigrants. It’s not the same thing, at all.”

Edit:
Never mind, those posts weren’t identical. Post 1 included
“(Also, Hashem’s standards for conviction are very demanding.)”
while post 2 did not, and post 2 added a bit about non-fatal violence.Many years ago I saw a pamphlet in Lakewood about shalom bayis, written in Aramaic
(the author stated that it was in Aramaic so women wouldn’t be able to read it).That made me laugh. Thanks.
First of all, increasing numbers of women today ARE learning talmud…
He said it was “many years ago.” Even today, I doubt
those women are marrying BMG kollel men.Secondly, for those that don’t, Google Translate…
Google Translate (unsurprisingly) does not feature Aramaic.
P.S. What kind of jerk wouldn’t want yidden to share information on Shalom
Bayis with their wives or beschert?? Is that some special thing in Lakewood??This might be related to the idea I’ve seen expressed by Rabbi Akiva Tatz
that if both parties in an arrangement focus on their obligations to the other,
it will work out well for them, but if they focus on the other’s obligations to
them, there will be strife.
(Rabbi Shalom Arush has separate books on the topic for men and women,
with requests for each not to read the one not intended for them.)
