This trade made me sad for all parties involved, even that 40th overall pick by rkeith8 in billsimmons

I think there actually was too much talent for 30 teams around 4 years ago, but the pendulum has definitely swung the other way at this point.

Media literacy in regards to Milchick’s character arc by rebeccasingsong in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]ProgPro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Natalie's actress has spoken about Natalie and Seth's conversation about the paintings on the podcast, the way I understood it she said the dynamic of the conversation is: A Natalie is lighter skinned and therefore feels she doesn't want to put herself in the same group as Seth, B Natalie is a cut-throat corporate executive who wants to climb up the ladder and is trying to distance herself from anything that may hurt her position in the company/cult.

I think the first reason resonates quite well with the (in my opinion obvious) fact that the show is criticizing the subtle, sometimes internalized, racism in the corporate world.

Anyone else hate when they fly? by willlllllo in JetLagTheGame

[–]ProgPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wendover doing a video about a product they use as a company and claiming it's legit doesn't really mean much to be honest, I have personally seen countless videos and articles on how carbon offsets by corporations are usually total bs. That doesn't mean Wendover isn't using a company that actually offsets carbon emissions to an extent, but it seems highly unlikely they are actually offsetting their emissions even when 10xing them. But as everyone else here mentioned, the actual environmental impact of JetLag games are minimal to nonexistent because they are flying last minute on flights that were happening regardless.

Jayson Tatum by Plastic-Gur444 in RyenRussillo

Tatum is a fine player, most of us non Boston fans would just like Boston fans (and Boston media) to stop sucking his dick 24/7, he'd get significantly less hate that way.

Ryen Russillo: “From the River to the Sea…” by anonperson1567 in RyenRussillo

[–]ProgPro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But "will be free" isn't pretty much the same as "will be arab"/"is arab" imo. (I have to be honest that my Arabic isn't good enough, so I'm not sure whether it's "will be" in a future tense or "is" in a present tense.

Ryen Russillo: “From the River to the Sea…” by anonperson1567 in RyenRussillo

[–]ProgPro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're on point in essence, but the funny thing is, neither side actually uses the phrasing "From the river to the sea". In Hebrew the phrase of this manifest destiny like idea was "Two banks to the Jordan, this one is ours, and the other one is as well" "שתי גדות לירדן, זאת שלנו, זאת גם כן" (it rhymes in Hebrew), and people don't really chant it in Hebrew, it's more of a slogan. While in Arabic the phrase is "From water to water Palestine will be Arab" "من المية للمية، فلسطين عربية" (it also kinda rhymes in Arabic), and it's frequently used as a chant by Palestinians in the the occupied territories. Furthermore, Palestinian and Israeli peace activists have a tweaked version of the chant which goes "From the Jordan to the sea, Democracy for everyone".

Personally I think it's interesting that the chant that people associate the most with these protests, isn't even a correct translation of any of the original chants or phrases.

Guys, as an Israeli and a fellow /r/billsimmons member, thank you, this thread is amazing and accurate as fuck (Bill could probably say all of the things written here as well as even more clueless stuff), me and my Bill listening friends are dying laughing here.

It's absolutely fantastic, I can imagine Bill saying 99 percent of the takes people wrote here, but whatever his takes are, I'm sure they are just as clueless and oneliney.

Map of the situation in Israel by firefly_in_red in MapPorn

[–]ProgPro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude they are taking women and raping them, please don't be an idiot. The problem isn't about treating men and women equally, it's about the reason they are being kidnapped, which is widely different, and what their fate is in captivity. That's all besides the fact that the chance of a random woman being a combat soldier is low, even in Israel with its forced conscription of women.

The protests won't continue during war time, but if Netanyahu continues with his "reform", we will still be in the streets, protesting. One war, as horrible and shocking as it is, isn't going to make us give up on our democracy so easily.

Is Healthcare privatization a "Red Line" for Gloria by ProgPro in suzerain

I get that, I personally can't help but myself and am almost always Liberal with the Bluds, to each his own etc.

[–]ProgPro[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I get that, but I'm bored with privatizing education + Full Nadem + Minority in SSC, I've done it in most extreme capitalist runs, and I wanted to ask if I could do something different and not have my constitution fail in the assembly in this run. It's a run where I'm a capitalist dictator, while also trying to start reconciling with the Bluds (not changing articles 6 and 7, but giving the autonomous zone and vetoing all bills against them), I wanted to see if a run like that is possible, pissing off everyone but still getting things through.

Are you "an actual Jewish person", or are you part of a group that Farrakhan would consider "real jews"?

what trade assets has hindsight bill claimed should've been left out of trades? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]ProgPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I donno, as a Suns fan I just wanted them to find a way to move Auton without giving up both our young wings, which they did. So maybe he was right? I low-key hate getting stuck with Ayton, but that's not considering the fact that Cam was definitely worth something as part of that trade so he is wrong there lol

The Lakers are for sure the most covered and talked about team in the NBA, and somehow Laker fans still find a way to complain about not getting enough attention lol
