“Bisexual candidate Katie Hill defeated her incumbent opponent Steve Knight, flipping California’s historically red 25th district.
Homophobia runs deeply in Knight’s family. His late father, Senator Pete Knight, created the infamous California ban on same-sex marriage in 2000. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree for Steve, who pushed a provision allowing federal agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ people. Go, Katie!”
Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Judeo-Christian concept of original sin
Jews: Huh?
Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Abrahamic religions’ belief in heaven and hell
Jews: Say what now?
Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Judeo-Christian religions emphasize obedience over asking questions and debating ideas.
Jews: *spit coffee laughing*
I’ve seen some people confused about this:
Judiasm has no concept of original sin, we have mitzvah and averah (good deeds and transgressions. You cannot be born with transgressions you must personally commit them, they are actions).
No concept of heaven or hell, merely a world to come. “A” singular world to come. We do have a sort of, i guess “purgatory” the maximum time spent there before proceeding to the world to come is 11 months
Judaism is founded on fist fighting G-D and debating every aspect of our scriptures (which we have been doing for millennia)
some people today complain that having the internet at our fingertips has spoiled millennials but like, i’m so glad i can look shit up whenever i want to. like can you imagine what it’d be like living in ancient greece and having to rely on herodotus when he says shit like “lions can only give birth once bc their cubs claw their way out of the womb”? i’d have to be like “o damn, guess that’s true” before going back to farming and dying of malaria bc i just thought my neighbor was cursing me again and didn’t go see a doctor
This whole bankruptcy thing was a money making scam by the suits who bought out the company back in the 2000s and ran it into the ground.
Not only is the toy store brand not dead, but 30,000 people are now angry as this scheme blocked them out of severance pay and they are now unemployed and unable to return to work when they start up again.
Many toy companies including Hasbro are raising eyebrows at this, as the initial bankruptcy cost them millions of dollars in sales revenue and their stocks took a nasty hit (Mattel being the worst off from it, as Toys R Us closing compounded with steadily falling sales of their products). Advocates are calling this a “bad PR stunt” since the suits want the company to make sales for the holidays.
Hopefully, this will cause enough of a stink to kill it off for good. I’d rather say goodbye Geoffrey as I knew him than have him come back as a reanimated corpse controlled by greedy hucksters who put thousands of people out of work for no other reason than to line thier own pockets and escape the consequences of their own failings.
This one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen done by any company in years
Seriously. Share this. Impact sales. I wanna see Toy’s R Us driven in the ground for this shit-fucking hard. No mercy, just good old fashioned, cutthroat capitalism where the market says “FUCK YOU” in bright neon letters…just like the greedy fucks who orchestrated this whole thing like-except they won’t like it when the “FUCK YOU” sign is for them.
The very worst part of all this?
No repercussions. NO ONE is getting in trouble for any of this shit.
Not a single worker getting severance any time soon either, with the way things are going. Which is complete shit, because I know a few people who were seriously affected by losing their full-time positions with this shit fucking company.
