throwing a temper tantrum for an hour until he gets the candy)When the best comparison for the actions you support is a child
throwing a tantrum, it might be time to rethink your position.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantThe Torah recognizes the authority of government only in certain matters.
Those matters do not include outlawing any aspect of Torah-observance.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantThe moment you press the button to start the microwave, you know it was a mistake. You hear a high pitched scream so deep that you could drown in it. The sound surrounds you, and so does the guilt. You are responsible for the destruction of millions of bacteria. Only then does it dawn on you that bacteria have neither lungs nor larynxes. The scream is your own.

β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantSolitaire game/puzzle-set for a 7-year-old… The company behind Rush Hour
have also made many other such puzzle-sets which you can take a look at.
Kanoodle (not from them) is another such puzzle-set – one that is quite small.Most cooperative games can be played solitaire, and some games are designed specifically
for it. A few games you can look into are Max* (might be too simple – it’s for 4+), Mmm!,
Forbidden Island (might be too complex – it’s officially for 10+), and Castellion (likewise).(*It’s the best-known of that publisher’s titles, which are generally children’s co-op games.)

Before anyone here reads that one, they should know that they shouldn’t.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantMy Parsha coloring book had Eisav, Paroh etc carrying guns.
You’ve got to wonder who comes up with that sort of thing.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²Participant1 in 38 Americans lives in New York City.
Yearly, 100 million takeout boxes are used in the city’s Chinese restaurants.
Laid out in a line, the city’s subway system would reach Chicago.
At any given time, more people are on the New York subway system
than there are people living in Boulder, Colorado, and the number of
people who ride it each day is more than the population of Los Angeles.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantNot as far as I know.

September 13, 2017 7:19 pm at 7:19 pm in reply to: “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men…” #1363167β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantThis thread (also) shows only 2 pages on the main page despite having 3.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²Participant(1. Or in other words, that doesn’t have anything to do with this issue.)
2. Parts that it is customary to cover in one’s community must be
covered, but I don’t think it’s forbidden to say divrei kedushah in
their presence if they are not covered.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantThat article was written by Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss.
(That’s probably in Modesty’s last pending post, but maybe it isn’t.)September 13, 2017 7:19 pm at 7:19 pm in reply to: Inappropriate intermingling at Chasunas ππΈπ·πΊ #1363163β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantThe phrase “dressed to kill” was not created by modern-day Jewish moralists.
It’s been around for quite a while, and means, according to Google dictionary,
“wearing glamorous clothes intended to create a striking impression.”β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantSeptember 12, 2017 6:00 pm at 6:00 pm in reply to: How much unproductive time do you spend online each day? #1362371β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantI assume you are not Chasidish, CTL, but why do you think Joseph is?

also known as a “tchup,” is… I don’t know the word.
It’s the hair at the front of a man’s head, grown out and styled upward.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantI’d assume even actual female voices carrying on a normal
conversation wouldn’t “do anything” for the average male.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantAccording to the owner of The Uncommons (a Manhattan board game cafe), it’s
popular for dates among whoever he means by “the Hasidic Jewish community.”β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantWhat’s a “yerm?”
(Meno beat me to the Wiki-punch.)β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantIt is possible to tell by the sound of water being poured whether it (the water) is hot or cold.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²Participant(There used to be a response from Modesty between my last 2 posts.)
(Men are not only attracted to attractively dressed women.)While the language is technically incorrect, the idea is that the woman’s attire
is aesthetically pleasing, but does not cause increased male attention.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantDoes “everyone” include males of the species?
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantCorrection:
Those are all in addition to the black-and-white (basic?) version.β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantCorrection:
Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, LG, HTC, Facebook, Messenger, Twitter,
Mozilla, EmojiOne, and emojidex [not a typo] each have their own forms for
all emojis. Whatever the Coffee Room runs on uses the Twitter forms.September 11, 2017 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm in reply to: If You don’t Like Terrorism, Don’t Be A Terrorist. #1361391β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantI didn’t know that was what it was, but now that I do, I don’t.
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantWho are you being noticed by and getting attention from?
β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantFeel free to put whatever your subtitle used to be in your profile
(as I think a certain user has already done).September 11, 2017 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm in reply to: Why is the frum world seeing more divorces while it’s dropping by the secular? #1361362β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantThe manner in which Facebook often contributes to non-Jewish divorces (it’s not shmutz)
would not really apply to the frum community (or so I imagine).β’οΈ Rand0m3x π²ParticipantI just realized that the crown in question is the emoji next to RebYidd’s name.
