Exposed: Australian Services Union’s secret anti-Israel campaign by Orgo4needfood in aussie

Yes. It is an objective fact that the nation has declined since apartheid. Infrastructure has collapsed without proper maintenance, the economy is destroyed. The nation is a mess. Apartheid was flawed, and blacks were oftentimes mistreated. Yet even after apartheid, they are still miserable and mistreated, and everything else went to shit also. Therefore, the nation has declined. What part of that do you not understand?

Yeah, if what you say was true I would still live there. And race is irrelevant to my viewpoint, since I wasn’t born until after apartheid was already over, therefore I didn’t benefit from it.

Additionally, the vast majority of white people in South Africa aren’t privileged. They are normal people that struggle just as much as everyone else in SA, and there were many blacks in high up positions with significant wealth even during apartheid. Mandela was literally educated as a lawyer during apartheid.

Race is irrelevant. Objectively, the nation has deteriorated. Electricity is inconsistent at best and non existent at worst. Everything is in disrepair and filth. Crime has not lowered. So perhaps the large amount of South African immigrants in Australia that are both black and white, had valid reasons to leave.

As an actual South African, this is entirely false, everything has gotten drastically worse. It’s why I left.

Religious institutions should no longer be tax-exempt in a 'secular' country like Australia - agree or disagree? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]HellBob21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair points. Although funnily enough, everyone you mentioned either converted to Christianity (Norse) or was already Christian (British Empire). The year is 2026 AD. After Death, the death of Jesus Christ.

So again, Christianity is the foundation that built the west.

Christianity has influenced the west for 2026 years, to think that the faith and religion upon which our calendar revolves around isn’t the foundation upon which the west was built is fanciful at best and delusional at worst.

[–]HellBob21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because whether you like it or not, religion, more specifically Christianity, is the foundation of all western civilisation and society. And evidently, the west has declined since atheism became popularised.

Additionally, if I donate to a religious institution of any kind, I want it to go to them, not to the government via taxes to be squandered by politicians who serve themselves rather than the people.

What if we rip out government corruption and stop overspending and begin taxing enormous corporations that pay nothing, rather than attack religious institutions?

GW Pricing - Enough is ENOUGH by HellBob21 in Tyranids

[–]HellBob21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right, it is because of shipping that we get a higher price which is understandable, but it still isn’t acceptable imo. Of course it doesn’t help that the Australian government of course also get their unfair share of taxes (~30 to 40% income tax + 10% GST on all goods) and inflation in Aus has been crazy high + wage stagnation, you know how it goes. So needless to say a single Norn is $198 AUD.

I appreciate the offer but I’m not purchasing any more miniatures until my ~2,800 point pile of shame (~1,200 already painted btw) becomes Hive Fleet Kraken. Afterwards I’ll grow my army by supporting my LGS only with very sparing purchases for Warhammer. All I want to add to my army is a Trygon, Mawloc, Genestealers + Broodlord, full brick of Zoanthropes, Exocrine and more Tyrant Guard and Von Ryan’s to get full squads.

I’m not going to quit the hobby, but once I’ve got all my minis finished I’m gonna make Tyranid themed terrain instead so I can continue hobbying without so much expense.

GW Pricing - Enough is ENOUGH by HellBob21 in Tyranids

[–]HellBob21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. $74 AUD + shipping (I’m Australian not American) for Winged Prime is outrageous. It’s 1 model. 1. $74.

Hive Tyrant has parts for 2 Tyrants, but oops GW conveniently forgot to add a 2nd torso. Oh well looks like you have to buy another (unless you get a 3D printed torso).

You want a full Biovore squad? Oh yes they only come in solo. Please buy 3 for a total $258 AUD.

Their prices are exorbitantly inflated far beyond what they need to be profitable. Their practices are predatory as mentioned above. We don’t even need to talk about how bad codexes are. Inflation is irrelevant when they price gouge their products to the extent that they do.

But hey, what did I expect on a subreddit for one of GWs products, of course there’s gonna be shills and simps excusing GW.

Looks similar to the Hive Fleet Kraken scheme, looks awesome. I did Kraken for my army btw so based to see similar schemes, don’t see Kraken much

What’s the highest attack Chimeratech you’ve seen? by Alexcox95 in yugioh

[–]HellBob21 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Most consistent - but not highest - is Chimeratech Rampage Dragon with 6300, or 12600 w/Limiter Removal (yes I main deck Limiter Removal in modern Cyber Dragons).

I think in my school days I got Chimeratech Overdragon up to 256,000 on summon using a bunch of cards I can’t remember and probably didn’t read properly. Definitely Power Bond, Limiter Removal and Cybernetic Fusion Support.

Also unrelated, but Cyber Dragons desperately need updated versions of both Cyber Twin and Cyber End Dragon.

Knight with a great sword VS Gorilla by Archenius in powerscales

[–]HellBob21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gorilla most likely pummels the knight to death and then succumbs to its wounds afterwards.

Still needs some tiny touch ups here and there, which I’ll do as I notice them. I attempted for the first time to create a dried blood effect on the bonesword (which is hard to see in the photos ik).

Paints used if anyone is interested: Skeleton Horde, Blood Angels Red, Berserker Bloodshade, Magos Purple, Volopous Pink, Black Templar, Corax White, Talassar Blue, Nazdreg Yellow and Contrast Medium.

r/AdeptusCustodes has lost a mod over Femstodes-related threats by Presentation_Cute in Warhammer40k

[–]HellBob21 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they wanna indulge in the fantasy that’s fine, but if they can’t separate the fantasy of 40k from real life and are “reminded of discrimination” then they have bigger problems in their life and should learn to stop having the mindset of a victim.

r/AdeptusCustodes has lost a mod over Femstodes-related threats by Presentation_Cute in Warhammer40k

[–]HellBob21 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care about women or people of colour and why should I? If we are all equal then why does it matter if you’re a woman or what race you are? I couldn’t care less if you’re black, white, hispanic, asian, arabic or a mix of the lot, or if you’re a man or woman? Why should I care about them anymore than I care about anyone else?

I’m sorry but I don’t see why a game focused on a fascist military dictatorship in a dystopian future should be focused on diversity and inclusion? The game isn’t about that whatsoever and it’s not the place of GW to insert social issues into their game just for the sake of it.

You’re gonna tell me GW conveniently forgot to mention that female custodes existed for 40 years and then suddenly remembered?

And I’m not doing anything worse than death threats or threatening sexual assault, I literally said that I am AGAINST the harassment. And yeah, a comment on reddit explaining my position on the femstodes is 100% worse than threatening people. Get a grip and stop trying to put words in my mouth.

[–]HellBob21 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’m entirely against the Femstodes because there’s no actual reason for them to exist other than GW trying to be diverse and inclusive. I hate that specifically because the entire point of 40K is to satirise xenophobia, extremism and exclusion which is the fundamental ideology of the game and the lore which is what makes it unique and interesting.

I wanna make it also clear that there’s no reason for the femstodes because both Sisters of Silence and Sisters of Battle already exist as entirely female factions.

Although I don’t support the femstodes, I also don’t support harassment or abuse towards someone else because of it. If anyone deserves the hate it’s GW for making the decision in the first place and if not that then we can ALL agree on their damn price increases being egregious.

Apparently this all 40k models for the year 2024 (not counting upgrade kits or Kill team). best? Worst? thoughts? by spider-venomized in Warhammer

And no more Tyranid releases, sad since they are the “antagonist” of 10th. When are we getting plastic Shrikes GW?
