    Where does the Torah give a mitzvah to not do unhealthy things?

    Damaging one’s neshama and olam habaha is worse than damaging one’s body. If you’d do something about someone doing the latter, surely you should do something about someone doing the former.

    Tznius and kosher are both halachas from Hashem that we are equally obligated to follow our Torah obligations on.

    If a goy violates even a single of the sheva mitzvos, even once in his life, even if he violated it b’shogeg he is chayiv misa and goes to gehenom.

    Tznius violators are similar to people who sell non-kosher food to the community as kosher. Both are machsil es harabim.

    You can do about tznius violations the same thing you can do about kashrus violations.

    If someone doesn’t keep kosher I’d expect them to not keep tznius. It typically goes hand-in-hand.

    “you cant legislate or intimidate yiras shamayim.”

    And you can’t legislate eating kosher?

    Halachas are, effectively, legislated. Thus, keeping kosher and keeping tznius is legislated.

    “The standards demanded by halacha dont apply exclusively to when there are men around.”

    Many halachic requirements of tznius are only halachicly applicable where men are or might be, and aren’t applicable in areas exclusively occupied by women.

    The people of Hong Kong wanted to remain under British jurisdiction rather than revert to Chinese jurisdiction, yet were not afforded that democratic option. Taiwan, everyone agrees including the Taiwanese, is a part of the same country Beijing is part of.

    If dhimmi status would truly bring peace in the Holy Land, then by all means we should go for it.

    Taiwan is not entitled to indefinite US protection. If we can broker a Nixonian pact with China whereby we drop support for Taiwan, thereby effectively forcing Taiwan to agree to a Hong Kong type jurisdiction of China, in exchange for China dropping support and embargoing to death the regime in North Korea, thusly potentially averting a nuclear catastrophic war costing literally millions of lives, it is well well with it.

    The edit button now only appears after the post has been approved by a mod, whereas previously it was editable even before being approved. That change is also unfortunate and it would benefit to going back to being immediately editable, especially since if the mod approval comes after the edit window closes it will never be editable.

    As I said, usually they’re good decisions to have deleted. I’m speaking of the exceptions.

    iac, the mods don’t usually explain their deletion decision. Not that they’re usually wrong for deleting, I’m sure most are good decisions. But lightbrite is correct that often they delete due to it not being aligned with their personal viewpoint.

    Also note it very well it’s likely most moderators are not guilty of that but there’s usually no way for posters to know who deleted.

    That is 100% false. And it’s a joke to think you can speak about the motive and personal viewpoints of people you don’t know and have never met. Odd concept.
