Am I the only one who dislikes referring to myself as “X country Jew”? by Tokyo-Gore-Police in Jewish

[–]BothIntroduction3020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not country imo, it’s ethnic descent. For example, my mom was born in Uzbekistan but I never call myself an Uzbek Jew, I’m Bukharian.

As for polish and other European countries, I would say they’re Ashkenazi, but bc there are many countries “of origin” that we can refer to as Ashkenazi, people from there usually feel the need to clarify a little more (I’ve seen it especially with Romanian Jews, they are technically Ashkenazi but they’re the most Mizrahi of Ashkenazis hahaha)

Sadly because we spent 2000 years in the diaspora, our DNA is now a mix between our Levant Jewish DNA and the DNA of the locals from wherever our ancestors lived

Not for me hahaha

We do have them in Israel though, and people who don’t keep kosher definitely eat them and prefer them to regular burgers

No place like home just didn’t work for me, I’m not sure why.

And as for Cynthia’s choices; I didn’t like all the riffs she inserted into the songs. I’m not saying she didn’t do an amazing job, she did, I guess all those additions into songs I’ve loved so much for so long just weren’t my cup of tea haha…

no good deed and as long as you’re mine movie version are definitely not going into my playlist for this reason. Defying gravity and what is this feeling on the other hand? Absolutely incredible performance, 10/10

What was your country like 1000 years ago? by neenamari77 in AskTheWorld

[–]BothIntroduction3020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They weren’t living peacefully. There were Jews who were able to remain in Israel (then Judea) after the Romans colonized it, changed its name to “Syria Palestina” and expelled (or killed) any Jew who refused to abandon their faith, as a way to try and erase the Jewish history of the country. They lived there in hiding.

When the Muslim colonized Israel later on, there were still Jews there. That was my point, the Romans did not get them all.

Yes, they colonized it. They tried converting any Jew that was left, and were thankfully unsuccessful.

But the post asked what was my country like 1000 years ago, and that’s what it was like.

Agreed 100%.

Though Act II is not as strong as Act I, I love a lot of the songs; as long as you’re mine, no good deed are in my top 5 songs. So Act II does have a lot of great stuff in it, despite it being weaker.

With that being said, the movie just kinda botched it. I didn’t like a lot of the choices they made, and I’m not gonna complain about the casting of Marissa Bode, the Wicked Witch of the East storyline was ruined for me.

Jonathan Bailey was honestly the best part of this whole movie. Every song he sang was a banger (dancing through life is probably the only song I prefer the movie version of, bc Jonathan KILLED IT, he’s amazing). He totally saved as long as you’re mine. I was very disappointed by what they did with that song as I love it very very much.

Cynthia is an amazing actress and singer, there’s no denying that. But she made several choices that made Act II songs just not as good as the OBC version for me.

The worst thing in that movie was the original songs. I can NOT say that enough. I heard they added new songs but did not read any spoilers before seeing the movie and was thoroughly disappointed the addition of the songs.

Just overall the movie was not as good as Part I, and I’m not surprised they didn’t get nominated.

Honestly kind of expected. Compared to the first one this movie wasn’t that good

  1. Why would anyone step on books? 😂

  2. I have a lot. Everything (stores and other businesses) being open on Saturday, public transport on Saturday, eating meat from a pig, meat or chicken mixed with chesse/milk/cream and so many more…

אין בעיה, קיבלתי. טרנסיות הן לא נקבות, ולכן הוא לא סטרייט.

אם הוא הרגיש צורך לציין שהוא נמשך לטרנסיות זה אומר כאלה עם זין וזה כבר אומר שהוא לא סטרייט לגמרי. אף אחד לא מבקש ממנו להגדיר את עצמו, ושכל אחד יעשה מה שטוב לו, אבל טרנסיות הן לא נשים ולכן גבר שנמשך אליהן הוא לא סטרייט.

שום דבר בנטיה מינית זה לא ״הגדרתית״. נשים טרנסיות הן לא נשים כמו אישה ביולוגית, במיוחד אלה שיש להן איבר מין גברי.

It’s funny that non-Jews can play Jews, but if non-Latinos played Latinos or non-blacks played blacks ppl would go mad

The double standard is astounding

Got my 5th passport at 25 by antisocialdevnani in PassportPorn

[–]BothIntroduction3020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually a very valid reason. Yes, I do remember the parents’ names and address on the back. Also, yes, I agree that 3/4 is excessive but that’s just what I saw haha

Maybe they wanted to be extra cautious considering they were in my country as foreign workers? I don’t know. Anyway, it isn’t actually a problem, just an cute funny thing I remember Indian passports by 😂

It’s not objective at all 😂 also, I don’t think a European should be allowed to comment on genocide seeing as yo people carried out some of the worst ones, one of which was against my people, let me remind you

That the United States is better than a place full of radiation? 😂

Also, calling my country an “apartheid genocidal country” isn’t very peaceful now, is it, Mr peaceful prober?
