Tiffany was similarly not used as a first name until Tiffany & Co, and particularly Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the 1958 novel/1961 movie.
The “Tiffany” from Tiffany & Co was a last name, and that owner was one of a handful of Tiffany’s in the world at the time of the founding.
Wait is there a federated podcast app? In what way would that be different than any other?
I’m not saying national leaders are immune from ethical liability no matter what, I’m saying I don’t blame German Jews for the Holocaust just because they’re German.
Track this back to the Houthis for me. You are arguing that America and the Houthis are both committing war crimes and are akin to Hitler so I should be against both of them, I’m a hypocrite for only calling out Houthis…and also you think Houthis are heroes?
I’m not following how you’re getting to that conclusion about my stance with that link. He’s a national politician talking about what the United States should do (in 2023). Clearly not as an acting member of a militant group.
If Vermont Independents were killing civilians and he stayed in the group I would denounce Bernie Sanders yes. I am not denouncing the entire country of Yemen.
You don’t get to pick conflict-by-conflict. “Going down in history as heroes” is about the totality of human action.
And you feel the same about their attacks on Yemeni civilians? Also heroic?
Everybody congratulate the Houthis for singlehandedly stopping Israel’s attacks.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. We all agree that they are doing their trading vessel attacks because they are against Israeli war crimes. Sure that is undeniable, but that’s not what is at question. The Houthis do a lot of other stuff, inclusive of their own war crimes. So they’re not good guys, they’re not heroes, they’re not a single issue group that only exists to stop Israel.
They’re also not stopping the genocide.
The Houthis have been committing war crimes for years before Oct 7th. They’re not some freedom fighter group that popped up in 2023 only doing bad things to serve their greater goal of stopping Israeli genocide.
That’s my entire point, they’re not heroes just because you agree with their stance on Israel. I hope you don’t agree with their stance on torture and child murder. You are against indiscriminate bombings of civilians when Israel does it, surely you’re opposed to it when the Houthis do it.
Two organizations who disagree with each other can both be bad.
They are not stopping a genocide.
Entirely ignoring the point.
Perhaps shockingly to you, being against genocide doesn’t make you a hero. Jeffrey Dahmer was presumably against the Holocaust. He’s not going down in history as a hero.
Republicans put national secrets at risk while bombing Yemen.
You: The important thing to say about this is that Democrats support genocide.
I was almost with you on this one. Just because they’re against the guys you don’t like doesn’t make them heroes.
South Africa, so well known for being racist against white South African emerald mine heirs.
Given enough time, we were always going to have right wing authoritarians back in power.
But call me an idealist, I didn’t think it would be actual Nazi sympathizers. Thought the brand was appropriately tarnished what with the Holocaust.
This is the second time Donald Trump has been elected with full control of both the House and Senate. It is not surprising that an old man in the same scenario would behave the same.
I saw something like this in the documentary Mark Wahlburg film The Happening.
He didn’t “handily win” he won by 1-2 points in the swing states.
It tracks with an anti-incumbent sentiment, people are not happy with inflation so they voted against the incumbent, they’re still not happy and still voting against the incumbent.
Extremely true. We are “customer obsessed” which is why thousands of users having an annoying screen popping up confusing them is prioritized below one lady who knows the CEO being unable to do an incredibly niche thing that we never said you could do on our platform.
Matthew says he hanged himself, Luke (in Acts) says he…bought a field and burst open in it.
Acts 1 18:
“With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out”
Doesn’t change your point really I just think it’s a fun inconsistency to think about. One option so much weirder than the other.
McSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn’t have a women’s restroom until 1986.
Their motto prior to 1970 was “Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies”
