I don’t buy this. Not because I’m trying to defend his character, but because he doesn’t read...

Lemme get this straight

  1. You have a history of dismissing your mom because of hormones and psych meds
  2. She got punched by her husband, and you’re calling on her to see the error of her ways because he “only” punched her in the arm and pushed her to the floor
  3. He only apologized after he got hit with domestic assault charges and there was a no contact order in place?

Yeah... I can see why your mom might be going a bit nutty.

Here’s my advice: Stop trying to therapize your mother, focus on your education and getting financially independent.

Seconding the Orwell series, the second game in particular really drives in how potent misinformation (or even accurate but slanted information) can be.

Good catch

Yeah, if there’s an operand in the numerator, you can sometimes simplify further by dividing the terms individually.

( -2 ± √2 )/2

Can be written as

-2/2 ± √2/2

Which simplifies to

-1 ± √2/2

Note that √2/2 is equal to 1/√2 , however fractions are considered to be more simplified if they have a whole number denominator (or whole number coefficient to a variable in the denominator).

LPT: Most guys don’t understand vibes (see above). Don’t ask them for confirmation.

The Torah prohibits hatred and condemns anger

Actually, pretty sure it calls for plenty of both, so no sweat.

It doesn't make you right, either. Change isn't inherently bad or good, it's neutral. What makes it right or wrong is what's changing.

Actually, rib is probably a mistranslation of tsela. It's more likely what was intended was the penis bone, something present in many animals but not people.

I guess dudes were jealous they couldn't make people come out of their junk like gals.

I doubt the Amish or Orthodox Jews agree with you.

Slanted, because I have a full-size cello but I'm short.

The idea is that it preserves the culture and maintains continuity.

Believe it or not, the convolutedness is kind of the point.

It's not about subverting the rules, it's about respecting elder's interpretations while also utilizing creativity and ingenuity.

dancethehora

That's not just a joke, that's a derivative from an actual Jewish story.

Basically, some rabbi was getting miracles to happen around him to prove his point, and the other rabbi's said miracles don't interpret torah, humans do.

dancethehora

Jews have a lot of varied and nuanced positions over topics we have in common, especially over how to practice Judaism.

True or false: Keywork is an occult symbol?

Well if it were that bad, you couldn't find anyone to complain with

Mine is a giant table of suggested hiccup cures from redditors ranked by comment karma, so if s/he's hiccuping I'm golden.

There's a saying in judaism: 9 rabbis, 10 opinions.

Basically this is par for the course.

dancethehora

That sounds like an odd lie. Maybe he confused you with someone else?
