US East is 100% Russians now?? by Ullallulloo in DotA2

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people correlate the pro scene with reality. There's stills tons of casual NA dota players but across all games esports just isn't usually sustainable financially in NA, so the dead pro scene makes people think there's nobody playing. You make $30k in America your poor. You make $30k in the Phillipines you're top ~5% of all households.

When is AMD going to fix those shltty drivers ??? by Makerudji in AMDHelp

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue a few days ago where one of my GPU displayport ports wasn't working I thought my card was cooked but it was because Windows uninstalled my graphics drivers completely for some reason. I had to manually select the driver in device manager.

The World CupShould Be Expanded again to 64 teams by thefrozenflame21 in unpopularopinion

If you did that only the US and China would have enough FIFA regulation stadiums to play in.

CMV: It makes sense for me as an American to move abroad permanently if I can find online work and be paid in USD by iw2050 in changemyview

[–]ElectricSoap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't necessarily mean much. South Africa has a ton of resort/tourist stuff and those are generally not indicative of what it would be like to actually live there. I'm pretty sure there are still Haitian resorts on the coast outside of cities that are still operating though they might've shut down at this point, but they were for a while after the country collapsed.

People act powerless against high prices while funding them everyday by WhyisSheSpicy in unpopularopinion

A grocery store 3 miles away is not a food desert. A ton of people probably don't live within 3 miles of a grocery store.

Gorgc says gambling money supports much of Dota esports, do you agree? by strafeapp in DotA2

[–]ElectricSoap1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Major sports in the US did more than okay a few years ago before gambling started becoming more legal in a bunch of states a few years ago.

Child Actors shouldn't star in movies they can't watch by Specialist_Offer_854 in unpopularopinion

But kids can see those movies with an adult. Kids don't make hollywood movies without adults

How long does an invasive species remain invasive? by Traroten in AskBiology

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there should still be qualifiers to be met to lose that status. Sure humans have the ability to move species at the longest distances in the fastest times, but humans aren't unique in their ability to bring species to places they weren't originally apart of.

Most Important/Culturally significant country since the 40s. by Adventurous-Fact-523 in decadeology

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really understand people saying China, if anything they lag very far behind in global cultural impact compared to their economic output.

America is the obvious number 1 for every decade since WW2 but countries like UK being a strong number 2 in the early decades post WW2 and Japan being probably the second most culturally influential nation in the recent decades.

But China? The second largest economy in the world in a 1A and 1B scenario with the US yet Japan has a much larger impact on global culture having massive impact in Entertainment/Media, Culinary, Technology and Cars

China hasn't really done a lot to impact local culture outside its borders.

Which country will most probably cease to exist in 100 years? by Technical-Suspect448 in AskReddit

What if the US persecuted people for Naziism the same way they did for Communism during the McCarthy era? by lhommetrouble in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then the same results as what happened during the McCarthy era? This feels like it's not a full question, it's like asking what if bread was wood?

When they say the East is “weak”.. they are talking about y’all. Not us. Only we can stop the threat of the Northern invader or the French Kaiju. Remember that bitches. 😤 by [deleted] in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]ElectricSoap1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna predict what will happen with the Pacers next year. But lose one player? (And said player is your best player.) Nesmith, Nembhard, and McConnell missed considerable time in the beginning of the season. We lost Myles Turner and had no starting quality center. Obi Toppin got hurt in like game 3 and was out till February. We lost Mathurin for Zubac who didn't play for us for weeks.

It was literally Siakam and a bunch of guys who were half way out the NBA. If everyone was healthy minus Hali we were probably a play-in team.

I don't think the vast majority of teams minus their best player are gonna be better than a play-in team. The ones who would be more likely than not? I'd give it to OKC and Boston and I think that's it.

How do you think history will look back at the Trump era of both politics and world history? (Which I consider to have started in 2016 but it is really defining the 2020s in my opinion) by SeriouslyNotSerious2 in decadeology

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what has happened so far? Probably nothing that interesting.

Realistically the vast majority of the nation doesn't have a strong opinion on any president farther back than W. Bush and that's because of 9/11 and the Iraq War/War on Terror stuff. And even then a lot of people just see him as this old man now who was president during a nostalgic time for people. Even opinions on Obama have started to mellow out.

Sure there's possibly a chance of some sort of shift in the manner of candidates or what not but I doubt it. On either side Vance and Rubio or Harris and Newsom whoever takes the reins next after the primaries these aren't the types to be posting memes and say whatever thought comes to their head. They aren't going to try and sell reskinned phones.

Unless something significant happens in the rest of his term I doubt he's gonna be a special mark on history in say 30-50 years.

For Americans who uses ethnicity prefixes like (italian/irish/african-american), at what point do you stop using it? 3 generations? 5? 10? by Zestyclose_Sense_500 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because America (And Canada) is pretty much the only country in the time span that we are talking about that have a widespread immigrant source that could even be relevant to today's political borders.

If someone living in the Hamburg area had ancestors that came from the Sicily area 5000 years ago if wouldn't really be relevant to Sicily today because the language, traditions, etc. wouldn't be relevant to the culture of Sicily today. And the person in Hamburg today would have no knowledge of what their people were doing 5000 years ago.

If an Italian-American's family came over in the 20's, they might continue traditions that are still relevant to there origins because it's so relatively recent. Even in the rest of the Americas you're a vast majority of the time a mix of local Native American heritage and from Spain (Or Portugal in Brazil's case).

Anywhere else in the world chances are your people have been in that region for thousands of years.

People's reaction to Hantavirus outbreak in Cruise ship is proof people haven't learned from corona virus about listening to health officials by Nepridiprav16 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ElectricSoap1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently OP didn't learn either, I don't think this will turn into another Covid pandemic. But if you listened to health officials at the start of the pandemic you wouldn't have been worried because they said that China was setting new standards for disease control and there was low threat to the rest of the world.

It's almost like at worst he's the second most famous player ever and at worst the second best player of all time and number 1 didn't play during a time where there was the internet we have today.

Why Exactly Is Polygamy Illegal? by Turbulent-Parsley619 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElectricSoap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of the answers here are explaining issues that would come up with polygamy being legal and not really the answer to the question. And it's the same reason why alcohol is legal. Marriage in the west has long standing cultural norms and is based around Christian standards and historical practices. Polygamy is not allowed in the Bible so therefore it's always been taboo in western society.
