I believe the cow was actually burned but the religious ceremony was ‘simulated’ in that it was non kosher or something. It was a practice run. Any sane person should be confused IMO.

For anyone else confused: https://vision.org.au/read/news/red-heifer-ritual-speculation-in-israel/

The Temple Institute admitted to the burning of a heifer in the Samarian hills, but stressed it was only a simulation, as part of a decade-long series of educational and practical preparations.

It said it was not a production of red heifer ashes as strictly validated by Jewish religious laws. WHY THE RECENT BURNING OF A RED HEIFER WAS INVALID

The Institute emphasised several key points

The event was a practice only, using a heifer that was invalid Priestly garments used were not consecrated, so it was non-kosher The ashes created were left in place and invalid for ritual purification Only samples were collected by individuals who were ritually impure

Yes, they’re fucking nuts.

I think the amount of money some women spend on makeup/manicures/hair is obscene. I know women at work who spend hundreds of dollars a month on that stuff and then complain that they’re poor. I just see it as waste.

All this really shows is that people are throwing labels around without meaning.

IIRC it was the republicans calling the democrates ‘america hating communists’. Interesting that the actual america hating communists call the democrats far right fascists.

‘Overly amorous’ is not a way to describe rapists.

Packaging. With everyone buying online the profusion of different types of packaging is wasteful. Packages are processed by machines and in many cases the packaging gets caught on things, gets stuck in conveyor belts or just slides right off. A huge number of items have to be manually processed because of the packaging. Standardised packaging would make automation much easier and lead to faster, cheaper processing. Unfortunately marketers want to use the super shiny slippery packaging with their brand all over it.

If your wine boxes are slippery they deserve to get dropped.

Lunatique has to be someone’s name by now

I highly doubt that the children this woman killed were guilty of sowing that hate, and even if they were little shits they didn’t deserve this.

Remember that the white male supremacists who like to kill kids also think they are the victims in this society. Being trans doesn’t mean everything a person does has to be linked to that aspect of them. It’s possible to be trans and still be a shitty person, which you have to be to kill a bunch of kids.

Does 1 pixel of a traffic light count? Is the test for whether you’re a robot actually to see if you can identify that 1 pixel?

I like to cook and bake so those are kind of my hobbies. I cut everything out of my life when I was unemployed and that’s where the money obsession comes from. I don’t ever want to be homeless again. Money equals security to me. Plus lifelong depression means I don’t actually get happy about anything, except food. My goal is just avoiding pain.

No, do you?

That would depend at least in part on whether it was intentional. I would not judge anyone that way over an accidental door hit. If you called a woman a cunt then I would assume you are at least somewhat misogynist. Men sometimes refer to their friends as cunt, but only male friends, this is exclusively an insult for women and we are never spoken to this way in a friendly or joking manner

I wouldn’t do anything. Take your time away but don’t ask people like me, I have nothing to do. A hobby would be healthy but my bank account going up is my hobby.

As an Australian, the cunt thing is an internet meme, it’s absolutely gendered and normal people do not use it.

I don’t know if this is real

It’s called fairy bread and it’s delicious.

I thought the picture was a woman, not even a little bit androgynous. Interesting how interpretations vary.
