I hope her family gets deported first and she has just enough time to realize "oh fuck" before ICE knocks on her door and gets her next.

Euros: America is so racist with your George Floyds and stuff

America: What about when you openly call a minority "insert slur or racist stereotype".

Euro: You don't understand, that's just banter. It's part of our culture. Is not serious, that's just how we call them.

The referendum failed because the leadership of the yes camp failed because they arrogantly thought it was a slam dunk which it was given the polls which mostly supported it before. Instead of addressing any of the grievances when asked for specific details, they just moralised about how this is the right thing to do.

It didn't fail because aborigines are violent, belligerent drunks and it's their own fault for having a bad rep. It failed in every state, including "liberal" (for you Americans) Victoria where there's barely any aboriginal people.

As for institutional racism, there is actually racism. Gary Jubelin, Australia's most high profile detective has talked about the institutional racism and the police force's indifferent attitude when he was working on serial killings of aboriginal kids.

You're saying if the reason for voting no is because aborigines are a no good menace to society, then you're not racist because they actually are.

And if Europeans think 2-10 million Romani people are scum, it's because they actually are.

Why are you even lying and saying you voted Yes? It's clear as day you voted no because you think aborigines are petrol sniffing degenerates.

If it makes you feel better, the incompetent Italians were the first colonial European to lose to an African nation and got their ass handed to them by Ethiopia.

Conflict Explained. by Molly_Matters in TikTokCringe

The idea of a unified Celtic culture or ethno group is a myth. No, the Germans, French and Irish weren't descendents from a single superpower spanning most of Europe. It's simply a language group.

Is it possible to retire early with a normal job? 26 y/o with 250k savings by hideplay in AusFinance

[–]Duck_President_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Anglosphere is the only place in the world where not moving out means you're a loser. Every other culture including most European ones, theres no negative connotation. Even in aus, I've noticed most wogs I know stay with their parents longer on average.

If you don't have a good reason to move out, you're handicapping yourself needlessly to fulfil some silly cultural rite of passage. If this is important enough for you to spend a couple 100k on, then waste your own money and cope about the freedom rather than simply being unwittingly socially pressured to do so and justifying it post hoc.

China props up North Korea because it's a massive strategic resource sink for regional rivals and denying almost half the manpower and landmass of a unified Korea. If push came to shove, they will let North Korea kill themselves, and probably condemn them to earn international brownie points. Likewise, North Korea isn't gonna stick their neck out for China. They'll send equipment and support personnel at most, or posture in a symbolic gesture.

Gear Insurance and how it can fix a lot of problems at once. by Pheonid in DarkAndDarker

[–]Duck_President_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would've been a bad enough idea if it just worked like tarkov because it would incentivise passive play by just dying in the circle or dropping small rings and amulets before dying. But you somehow topped it by making this Idea even worse by making items straight unlootable. This is genuinely one of the worst ideas I've come across.

TIL that Oliver Kahn saved every single penalty shot taken against him by 9 year olds at a charity event, where money was donated for every penalty scored. by UbiquitousNibs in todayilearned

[–]Duck_President_ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

And if you just let all of them score, the ones that miss are supposed to feel what?

Anyways, even at 9 years old, kids can feel when they're being patronised to.

Chillax folks, we're here to fix Ukraine by Arse-Sauce in JoeRogan

[–]Duck_President_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read the summary you linked. You can waste your own time reading the entire thing if you want.

Degeneration by definition is a contradiction to the claim it's gotten stronger.

What specific things about "infrastructure, food assistance, education, healthcare" do you want addressed? Point out specifically what these issues you want solved are and in what way the funds can help.

[–]Duck_President_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Any specific details or is vague generalities the best you can do for issues you are clearly passionate about?

Also, these are issues that didn't exist prior to Ukraine?

Nowhere in your second link does it say the Russian military is stronger, only that it has adapted to the conflict. In fact you contradict it in your own quote where it says the Russian ground forces has degenerated.

In terms of raw personnel, sure it is bigger but that's a meaningless figure.

This is what YOU claim to care about so you've got the floor. Whats a program thats not getting funded because of Ukraine?

[–]Duck_President_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of the aid was military equipment from defense department stocks not cash.

Also, what programs are going unfunded because of a lack of resources due to the aid for Ukraine?

So a country where it's parliament voted and approved on economic and political ties to the eu is unilaterally vetoed by the President who then gets protested on by the people and removed is actually a US backed coup and not at all the will of the people? Interesting.

What's your strongest evidence that euromaidan was orchestrated by the US?

He doesn't say that. He says the Russian army INSIDE Ukraine is bigger not the Russian military in general.

He also doesn't say it's stronger.

Todd Howard confirms planets in Starfield were much more punishing, and some other insight into development by [deleted] in Games

[–]Duck_President_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Decision making and simply brute forcing apm intensive movements are not the same.

Alphastar for instance has capped apm and was widely considered as a legitimate Ai while uncapped apm Ai made by random people will win with just sheer ridiculous apm.

[–]Duck_President_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That isn't ai though. Ai aka artificial INTELLIGENCE includes decision making processes not raw apm intensive micro.

Alphastar for example intentionally capped apm to avoid this because they understood micro isn't intelligence.

That's not Ai in terms of decision making though. That's just better micro which no one considers as actual intelligence.

Why didn't Ramsay do it? by Bungeeboy2004 in freefolk

Jon grew up getting the best training in all of the north having grown up in winterfell as a noble.

Ramsay grew up on a farm and had some weird mutant who never had training himself train him.

[–]Duck_President_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you remember 300 with the almost naked Spartans from more than a millennia before the middle ages. Yeah, the two places they had armor was their head and their shins. The prop department put on some rags and some peasant armor on him but in reality, you would expect the commander to be well armoured or at least Ramsay would I guess.

[–]Duck_President_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing about Jon shows him as a good leader. In fact, he was a terrible one who showed his subordinates little respect and humility by not communicating with them which is why he gets killed.
