  • I’m disappointed in the Passover story for omitting God’s 11th plague: bombing the shit out of the Egyptians. I’m even more upset about them taking this quote out of context:

    You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

    It should actually end with “Unless you have lots of explosives and military equipment being supplied to you. In that case, you should probably terrorize a vibrant and colorful population into becoming radicalized by your abuses and then genocide those people because loony politicians believe that they can personally kick-start the rapture.”





  • after publicly criticising Israel’s military assault on Gaza, an act they described as incompatible with Jewish values and morally indefensible

    Fuck off, don’t tell me what my values are. This is the kind of shit that made me question and then abandon my religion. It’s obviously impossible to abandon being ethnically Jewish, but this bullshit has been so goddamn atrocious that it makes me question my people’s history.

    Jewish values my ass. Israel is run by terrorists and the Zionists in my family welcome it with open arms. Fuck all these monsters.

    Edit: ohhhhhhh… Apparently “they” are the heroes of this story who got suspended. I thought that “they” were the board that suspended those folks. Well, fuck me for losing the subject-pronoun-antecedent game. The sentiment remains, but directed towards the fucking bastards who suspended the originators of the quote that I misattributed.











  • Not enough research to support this claim.

    Studies seem to show that onlookers see a reflection of everyone and everything BUT the vampire without any vampire-shaped losses of light showing up on the objects behind the vampire; as evidenced in Brooks’s 1995 documentary. Also important to note is that the vampire’s shadow is also missing from the mirror’s reflection, but it’s visible when viewing the vampire directly.

    From the same documentary, we learn that vampires do have shadows, but it raises doubts as to if the vampire casts a shadow of their own; this could instead be evidence that a vampire’s shadow is an entirely sentient entity somehow tied to the vampire’s corporeal form.

    Based on this, I believe that we’d need more research into the existence and form of a vampire’s shadow and the possibility that the silver of a mirror wholly negates or even rejects unholy light. Before making such baseless and reckless claims, you consider how your own xenophobic and, frankly, teraphobic or demonophobic biases are likely hurting members of the inmortua community.
