Misrad Hapnim rejected a Rabbi letter attesting to DW's Jewishness. The Rav in question says the letter is exactly the same as all his other letters and they were all accepted. Now I have to somehow get a new one from him to Eretz Yisrael before my appointment... Bureaucracy at its finest.

Their whatsapp agent told me to submit the official refund form. I did and got this gem as confirmation:

Sometimes it's the only option lol. This is Kenya Airways, I've flown them a million times and they're typically great. But they don't handle irrops very well.

Newegg now separates "regular" laptops from "gaming" laptops, with no telling where you would find, say, a professional video editing laptop.

Maybe an unpopular opinion:

IDF soldiers posting tik-tok style content that's offensive to Muslims. I understand where they're coming from but they don't understand the ramifications of their actions.

Sad if this is unpopular. This is no typical enemy.

There must be a government or military office whose authority this would fall under...

Why do customer service reps just lie and insist that they're telling the truth?!?!

It's so frustrating to here them tell you its impossible, there's no way, there's no such thing, Its impossible that you have done this previously (when you know you have!), it cant be done etc. but after enough hours you finally accomplish it yourself

They were probably not lying. If you are speaking to a rep who doesn't know how to do something, don't waste time arguing with them, HUCA.

Not necessarily. I once asked a rep who, upon insistence, spoke to their supervisor and got whatever needed to be done. I wondered why he had claimed it was impossible earlier..he wasn't too pleased.

No AA lounge in CLE!  >:( >:( >:(
PP lounge, PP bar and takeout, and a UA lounge.
CLE has it pretty good.

Clickbait headline:
"Greta Thunberg posts then deletes 'free Palestine' post after pushback: 'I was completely unaware'"

So, can you guess what she was unaware of? (I, too, was unaware.) It's that the octopus
is sometimes used as an anti-Semitic symbol, representing a many-armed conspiracy.

(It makes sense in context, but isn't a satisfying story.)

Greta Thunberg: 'Not concerned by climate crisis anymore'
Greta Thunberg, who became known as a prominent climate activist, did not attend a climate protest in Germany in order to speak at an anti-Israel protest in which she claimed that Israel is committing genocide.

She was never actually concerned with climate, she’s just an attention w****

Did she say that? Why the quotes?

I thought it was quoting someone speaking about her, but even such a quote does not appear in the story.
