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.
Guys who are serious about staying in Kollel are focused and do not wonder if they should be leaving. IMHO.
This part of the comment backs up Dr. Nat’s assertion that he’s not an anti-kollel troll.
@daas-yochid You said that you saw a person choking nearly to death because of a mask. So yes, you did say that wearing a mask is physically impossible and dangerous for many people.
I don’t know why you insist on double, triple, and quadrupling down on my your distortion of what I said.
That’s literally all I’ve been saying this entire thread.
Until you added a bunch of other things.
Please explain to me how wearing a mask while going to shul, the supermarket, school, or when talking with a friend is such a major hindrance on your life.
The irony here is that upthread you claimed to be flexible, but when people keep telling you how uncomfortable they feel in mask, you can’t accept it and ask for an “explanation”. Just accept how people feel if they fell you they’re uncomfortable. (That’s literally all I’ve been saying the entire thread despite your distortion.)
I would not rely on his essay as a basis for breaking the law and possibly causing a major chillul hashem.
I am questioning if something is a chillul Hashem when it is very reasonable to say that their actions saved lives.
Calling the existing policies murderous is probably hyperbole and is not necessary to make this point.
Masks are only one part of the puzzle. We need masks, social distancing, limiting public gatherings, limiting close contact, exposure awareness, quarantine procedures, etc.
So stop saying how easy this is when the reality is that you are demanding huge, destructive life changes, not just mask wearing (which itself you underestimate how difficult it is for many).
@daas-yochid You claimed that wearing a mask is physically impossible for some people and even dangerous for many.
No, I didn’t. That’s how you distorted my words, and you were called out on it.
1) the brazenness. it was advertised
This makes me believe their claim that they did receive authorization, it at least that they believed they did.
2) They gave people without any criteria at all.
This certainly isn’t what their stated policy was. That having been said, in some cases it could be justified. From what I understand, once opened, all 10 doses need to be used right away, so if two people didn’t show up to their appointments, it’s better to give it to two young healthy people rather than discard them. They also found many vials contained an extra dose, so better to use it on someone available rather than throw it out.
If the author is right that the current policy is murder, is it a chillul Hashem to violate this policy?
I am not granting that they violated any laws, certainly not knowingly (they deny it). I am asking even if theoretically they did.
No, I didn’t ignore it, I just didn’t comment on it.
You insist that wearing masks is no big deal, not just that you should do it anyhow.
May I suggest before continuing we all read Rabbi Avi Shafran’s latest article entitled “Mask Ask”?
Including the part where he says he felt like he was suffocating when wearing a mask?
No point in responding when you refuse to hear what others are saying and need to distort in order to make your point.
I was taking @daas-yochid s story to the logical place.
There’s nothing logicical about your conclusions. The story is 100% true, and your fantastic distortion is one of a series of falsehoods you have posted here.
You even had the chutzpah to post that someone is just as able to be heard through a mask as without, which is blatantly false as anyone who has compared can attest to.
Your assertion that masks are actually not uncomfortable is another big lie as many can attest to. Maybe for you, but your unwillingness to accept that others have a different reality is a distortion of the truth and indeed reflects the lack of empathy to which you admit.
Agreed
