“We will not stop calling out and fighting back against extremist, so-called leaders who try to prevent our children from learning our true and full history,” the vice president said in Florida.

      Culturally Jewish? Someone who was brought up with Jewish values but does not believe themselves.

      I understood what they meant.

        But what aspects of the culture do they observe and which do they eschew? It begs questions if nothing else.

            You can just look up lots of stuff. You never ask any questions on here the answers to which you could find yourself?

              Correct. That shit is exactly why early 2010s Reddit and (hopefully) lemmy is a much better read in the comments section than today’s Reddit. For things that are not straightforward, yeah somebody scrolling on by will answer an interesting question. But I’m sure most people want more meaningful discussion happening in the comments here than people becoming your personal wikipedia bot. Remember “reddiquette”?

                Where do you draw the line for what’s acceptable? Did I have a reasonable expectation that there was gonna be much that Google could elucidate? Did it seem likely that there’d be a Wikipedia page for what ostensibly is a complete contadiction in terms?

                I asked a quick question, nobody was beholden to respond, and I’d have been fine if they hadn’t. The fact is I was interested enough to enquire in passing but not to make my own investigations.

                  Where do you draw the line for what’s acceptable?

                  If it’s a “what is _____” question (like your original comment), you’re guaranteed to find an easy answer on any search engine in literally 2 seconds. Most even summarize the question right on top.

                  Finally, just fyi, you can highlight text and right click or long press on it, and the menu should have a shortcut to “Search the web for ${your highlighted text}.” Easy way to search on mobile, especially on Android as you can hit/swipe back on Android nav which closes the opened tab, and you’re back to doing what you were doing.
