Dy,
I think that Hashem knows a persons true motivation and his past precedent solidifies that (if a person wants to give tzedakah at any opportunity possible)
Of course He knows (even without past precedent). It was a rhetorical question. I think the person buying the lottery ticket “l’shem shomayim” is fooling himself.
Asking Hashem to let you win so you can help mosdos, tzedakah etc…. is asking to be zoche to be a great shaliach MItzvah.
There are lots of wonderful mitzvos. You are suggesting we ask for the zechus to be able to perform one which allows us to keep 10% of hundreds of millions of dollars, and expect Hashem to be fooled ch”v into thinking it’s l’shem shomayim?
@ Participant,
The first song on the first Uncle Moishy record.
Now do you understand the concept of how some things are meant to be momentary but we use texting which is a great way to send material, but the drawback is that its saved. Would that also be an “odd” request on your part to ask them to delete it?
Yes, it would be odd.
What if you sent someone a funny video of yourself to cheer them up for the moment they were sad, but now it is saved forever and can possibly circulate elsewhere?
You should have asked not to forward it. Even if you didn’t, it’s fair to ask later on not to forward it. That’s not the same thing as asking to delete it.
But its not about who owns it, its the fact that its your content.
No, it’s not your content. Rephrasing “you own it” to “it’s your content” doesn’t suddenly make it true.
yes you dont own the messages which are on the other phone, however who does own them?
Nobody
Why is it about having kids? It’s either science based or it isn’t
I’m not sure what you mean by science based. I don’t think weighing the potential risks of covid vs. the damage done to children when they are deprived of school is a scientific question. I think someone with kids might be able to appreciate the second side of the equation better than someone who doesn’t.
AAQ, that whole discussion has no bearing on this question.
Here, you didn’t create covid.
Even if in the past you were irresponsible for not minimizing your exposure, that has no bearing on the vaccine, which prevents one from getting dangerously ill from a future exposure.
The discussion you referred to might apply to a person who intentionally or through irresponsibility got very sick from covid and survived. Applying it to the vaccine doesn’t make sense, as Syag seemed to say.
-quite simple, ubiquitin wanted to share with us that he can only think dirty.
No. You brought that up, not Ubiquitin

Ask New York that question in regards to the vaccine, teachers can get it but grocery store employees can’t (yet)
They can. From the NYC vaccine finder site:
“Who can get vaccinated right now?
Currently, the vaccine is being provided to people 65 and older, teachers and education workers, first responders, public safety workers, public transit workers, grocery store workers, healthcare providers and staff with direct patient contact, emergency responders, staff at COVID-19 testing and vaccination locations, home health aides, and long-term care staff and residents among others. Click here for more details on the groups currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.”Regarding the OP, I don’t think you “own” the messages you’ve sent, and I think it’s a bit odd to even request they be deleted, but it might be appropriate to tell the person you sent it to that in retrospect, you wish you hadn’t sent it.
Ugh, why did this conversation turn nasty?
Why are grocery store workers “essential” when it comes to lockdowns but not when it comes to vaccinations?
Who says they aren’t?
@yt that wasn’t my idea
Maybe the following is an idea. Draw up a contract in whihc you commit to give away 90 percent of the post taxes winnings to Tzedakos all over the world. Designate percentages for Yeshivos, Chesed organizations, yechidim etc. WRITE IT OUT> Sign it in fornt of 2 witnesses, give then copies, tell your kids you wrote such a contract so you are diminishing g the chances of the Yetzer orah creeping in. Then buy it and say Tehillim that the mosdos need you to win.
I’m not sure I get this. Hashem doesn’t need your help. Of course, if you become wealthy, you should give a lot of tzeddah (if I may disagree with Uncle Moishy) but I don’t get the making a deal with Hashem part.
I’m told that Telegram is dangerous from a ruchniyus point of view.
Thanks I’m trying to understand how Trump can be viewed as innocent
There’s a huge gap between being “innocent” and incitement.
No, and for that reason the justice department said they weren’t pursuing it
Thanks for the honest answer.
So apparently now the question is which is better, Telegram or Signal.
I think Biden’s plan makes sense. One of the reason the states are so sluggish in giving out the vaccine is because of their silly prioritization rules. If they had more vaccines, they would just give it out to whoever wants (as, in my opinion, they should already be doing).
By the time the second dose is needed, there will have been more doses produced, so hopefully everyone can get their second dose regardless.
Calm down. Cleaver said awomen was just a pun.
To save face
How can anyone answer this without being told who he’d be running against?
Ubiquitin, is that legally incitement?
I wasn’t trying to blame either of you, just that the thread comes out as insensitive IMHO.
I don’t like this thread.
I think that right after a family suffers from a nanny causing a brain injury, it’s not the right time to discuss the wisdom of having a nanny.
I similarly didn’t like the fire safety discussion in the immediate aftermath of a family suffering from a tragic fire.
There have been other similar threads on the heels of a tragedy, and it somehow feels to me that the victim is being blamed.
As far as the OP’s question, even if we were to assume (which we shouldn’t) that there are any cr responders whose opinion should be followed, there is clearly not enough information here to answer.
You are obligated to fulfill your Kesuba from the moment you get married.
Just like any other monetary obligation, the other party (the wife in this case) can be moichel.
