I heard Obama did it. He's kind of built different though. I'm not sure you could handle it.

First off, I don't believe for a second that any of them are just telling customers, "just so you're not confused, no other middle easterners can claim hummus", and second, isn't it odd that you never see this trope about Greeks or Turks?

Well now you know a new stereotype about Jews that antisemites love to play with. What you do with that information is up to you.

So when you went to restaurants in Israel and Israeli restaurants in America and they said these are the foods eaten in Israel, they specifically said "We invented these. No one else can claim this"?

That's a weird definition of a journalist. Sounds more like a priest.

I hear it's so nice they named some town on the west coast after it.

I understand that people would like the police to sit by and let people assault ICE agents and block roadways to impede traffic (a literal crime under Illinois law) because it's for righteous reasons, but let's be realistic. Letting these protests get violent is not going to lead to good outcomes.

But I want superpowers, so maybe what I should do is not take my chemo and if I want it bad enough the cancer will give me superpowers.

I mean, we are still getting a big influx of Californians. It's a part of fabric of the City. And it's still funny to complain about.
But who gives a shit? If you have lived here for a couple of years and act like this is home, you're a local.
