2·5 hours agoIs one of them Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky?
No, I get it, the problem the way we’ve chosen to build society, but now that it is the way it is, judges and juries are reluctant to ban someone from working and buying groceries for anything less than a prison sentence…
Like it’s pretty crazy to me that the State (USA) can seize you car if you transport drugs with it, but not if yoU literally run over a human being. People with multiple violations and triple-suspended licenses still get to keep their cars.
Operationally? The ones the New York Times pretends to support the aims of while burying you in an avalanche of imaginary horrible consequences and insisting on some delay (more research, popular consensus) before actually doing anything that would change the status quo.
What’s worse is that WAY too many people have no option BUT to drive
That’s exactly why it’s treated as a right. Can’t drive?Can’t live.

I’m a simple man. If I see a custom ROM, I flash.
Grab a knife and start whittling / building a pallisade to protect the dock.
I’m right handed and can’t read my writing.
Maybe a typewriter? Preferably in need of repair.
More reason to work on your balance. You can buy (or better–build) rocker and wobble boards with varying levels of instability (stay safe!) to make washing the dishes more interesting.

2·7 hours agoThanks, honestly my issue was not seeing the torrent links at the top or bottom of the page. Found them!
Now just have to see if I can squeeze the mp4 onto a dual layer DVD. A media server is in my future, but it’s all direct-to-DVD for now.

Language Learning@sopuli.xyz•Learning vocab ahead of reading? (software for epub analysis)
1·11 hours agoI feel like it’s not that much work and the benefit is that it gives me a lot more freedom to read what appeals to me.
FOr instance, I found an unseeded torrent of 600 French epubs. Imagine being able to do something as simple as sorting them by lexical complexity–that is do a unique word count and rank from lowest unique word count to most unique word count. Trivially simple to do and would yield me books that are constantly in my range of proximal learning.
But, yes, thank you for the suggestion! I’ll look into some readers, depending if I feel more lazy than broke.

Excited for this!

Volta is a proper name, though, so there wouldn’t be any rules.

I guess it depends on what concepts you are willing to let go of. If you think Jews have some kind of holy right to land occupied by other people, yes, things are goig to be complicated because you also want to protect your ability to think of yourself as a good person, and that precludes you from supporting ethnic cleansing and genocide
If, on the other hand, you see Israel as a settler-colonial project no morally different than the Dutch in South Africa or the British in North America or the Spanish is South America or the Belgians in the Congo, it becomes a much easier ethical calculus.
There are plenty of Jews who view Israel as the latter, and the fact an identity “makes things complicated,” points to self-interested decision. Just like being white makes the concept of removing barriers to employment by black people “complicated”, or being a man might make supporting female rape victims “complicated.” The fact that a choice might not benefit a group you identify with is not an argument in favor.
And, yeah, nobody should listen to “as a mischling jew.” That’s 1/4th Jewish.
