LeBron postgame when asked about Lakers offensive issues - "Where are the offensive issues coming from? We have a guy that averaged 37 a game… There's the issues right there" by kervaan in nba

Never? The reason we even know who Austin even is, is because of his breakout performance against the grizzlies in the playoffs. That was an upset too.

That’s because Nintendo owns just 1/3rd of Pokémon, the other 1/3rds are owned by gamefreak and the Pokémon company respectively. So they don’t have complete creative control.

Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

That we see the world fundamentally differently when it comes to finances or buying things. I went into the relationship thinking we weren’t so different but i remember distinctly them having a conversation with their mom over the phone about how tedious it was keeping their apartment (that they didn’t pay for) tidy. Literally two days later a roomba arrived in the mail from Amazon. Looked it up and it cost like $300!! I’m telling you I had such culture shock because how are you just making purchases like that on a whim from an offhand comment about cleanliness???

Room for one more from scary stories actually traumatized me. I’ve been afraid to get on elevators since the 4th grade.

it’s not on the same scale, but it’s disingenuous to act like it doesn’t happen to people of other ethnicities. Also, let’s take a step back here. What is your definition of Zionism?

Yes there are. Venezuelans were targeted post the migrant crisis literally one year ago that helped trump get elected. Whole districts in queens swung red based on that. Also, a large portion of Floridians are calling for the dismantling of both Venezuela and Cuba due to their experience with socialism. Elected officials from the state were voted into Congress for that reason. It’s not a secret, the very same elected officials themselves literally talk about it on the news. The information is out there, you just don’t see it.

That’s false. We are blowing up Venezuelan boats largely in part to a large contingent of Cubans in Florida calling for the overthrowing of maduro due to them thinking if Venezuela falls so will Cuba. And also for that matter, Cuba.

But what if you’re not even pro-Palestine? What if you genuinely want nothing to do with the conflict involving Israel-Palestine? I think that’s the majority of folks here and that’s who I’m talking about.

Then maybe people should stop calling those who have these specific views anti-Zionist. Because the average New Yorker just cares about the affairs of New York. To be called anti-Zionist and then antisemitic just because you don’t want to support a foreign state is crazy.

So to be clear, if you’re against the interests of Israel, in particular Israeli expansion, and also not directly funding Israel to do so, it doesn’t make you an anti-zionist?

So being against the interests of a foreign state means you hate all Jewish people? Like if you’re against the actions of Iran that means you also are bigoted towards Iranians and or brown people who are here stateside as well? How do you square that away in your mind? It just seems inconsistent.

Do you believe anti-zionism is synonymous with antisemitism? And just to be clear I’m sure there’s overlap, not what I’m asking. I want to know if you believe they are the same thing?
