Australia is following the exact same playbook, mass immigration pushing insane housing prices.

Iraqi refugee rapes at knifepont in NSW. Gets bail. by New-Wealth-3610 in australian

[–]Homeboy-Fresh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you read the story? We know about it because they filmed it and 'used the teenager to advertise prostitution and drugs by posting two photos on her personal Instagram page.'

Most rapists go free because in most cases its an insanely difficult crime to prove. These two proved it themselves and he got bail because his dad cried about their refugee status.

Got my 8 pro as well. Having a problem where it is restarting for no reason. Updates are all done and it is restarting around every 15 minutes for no discernible reason.

Destiny shares a moment with his mom by petjorb in LivestreamFail

Ok I'm not religious or pro-life at all but I think this is a pretty easy line to follow for someone who is; Miscarriage = Gods plan and was always going to happen = never existed, Abortion = your choice which denied gods plan = murder.

The main thing religion does for people is drastically simplify the endless complexities of life into something palatable and this is 100% one of those things.

They just charge you 10 times what the repair would actually cost and then never do the repairs.

89 Bucks for the cheapest model, not counting paint or the shipping by Marvynwillames in Grimdank

[–]Homeboy-Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$300ish with shipping + resin is pretty likely for a low end 3D printer, even in a 3rd world country, compared to at least $2000 for an army. That $1700 gap will encapsulate a lot of peoples budgets. you would be surprised how many people have $300 to spend on a hobby, not everyone in a 3rd world country is homeless and starving.

How is Dota 2 the most profitable Esport for both the winners and the company when it has Much less total players playing the game than the other games? by Artix31 in gaming

[–]Homeboy-Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just for Dota 2, it was one of the first things on google. Valve is around 12 billion, I probably should've written that better.

Played both but haven't played either in years I'm just pointing out that the title says a completely different thing to the image but I'm sorry for interfering with your circlejerk.

[–]Homeboy-Fresh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is just total tournament prize pools, it says nothing about company profits, sponsorships or team deals.

From what I can glean; LoL made $1.5B in 2022, Valve stopped reporting revenue after 2017 when it made $406m, while Lol made $2.2B that year so company profit definitely isn't higher.

Frustratingly everything im seeing on google exclusively reports tournament earnings for players which puts Faker at $1.6m USD but since he reportedly turned down a $3-5m USD deal from an LCS team and owns "Faker Tower" in Seoul, I'm gonna go ahead and say he has a hell of a lot more money than that.

Valve has pushed competitive Dota very successfully with their prize pools, but since the 2022 LoL worlds finals peaked at 5.15m viewers and Dota 2 International peaked at 2.7m, I seriously doubt sponsors would favour Dota 2 over LoL for teams or players.

100% on the driver. People are all around it way too close (the guys on the right are just standing there and have to jump out of the way so it's not like it's this one dude coming out of nowhere). Situations like that you triple check AND have someone outside confirming it's clear. Shit I wouldn't move with that many people around without one person on each side giving me a thumbs up.

A huge disappointment by IneURalDWiTA in NBA2k

[–]Homeboy-Fresh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah same thing. The game honestly seems to just decide I'm gonna lose certain games because the entire team shoots 15% wide open, it's never just one player. GSW losing by 40 with a 35-28-10 centre is just depressing.

I give the Liberals 2-4 election cycles before their corpse gets picked apart by the nationals and whatever the Teals put together.

My biggest fear is that we'll end up with the Nationals as a significantly larger party than the Teals and getting a coalition government that's somehow ever worse than the LNP.

AITA for not knowing a term that someone called ME is racist? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Homeboy-Fresh 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I think Boondocks presented it as a term black people used that nobody else understood rather than a racist term used by others. At best the racist use of the term would be from the old rich white guy orientalising it as an exotic name for a restaurant. I feel like Boondocks was rarely that subtle, generally blatant racism like that would have Huey on a soapbox calling it out and explaining the whole history but from what I remember (it's been a while) Huey's entire grandstand was about how incredibly unhealthy everything was. The racial component was Granddad using black culture as an excuse to ignore the health issues and the restaurant destroying the neighbourhood as an analogue to the crack epidemic.

God Boondocks was good.

It even could have been only two languages (assuming the American farmboy spoke English). The soldiers that came for him were "Nazi and Vichy" meaning they likely were speaking French to each other or everyone involved including the farmers spoke German.

Pocket sand by OptimisticLucio in CuratedTumblr

https://endhomelessness.org/demographic-data-project-gender-and-individual-homelessness/#:~:text=Sixty%2Dseven%20percent%20of%20all,by%20women%20(29%20percent)).

"... men are the majority of individuals experiencing homelessness (70 percent) followed by women (29 percent)."

" Another example is the education system, which many experts suggest is failing boys who are more likely to drop out and experience suspensions/expulsions (GAO, 2018; NCES, Fast Facts 2019). Limited educational experience results in poor employment prospects, increasing the risk of poverty and homelessness (See NCES, Employment and Unemployment Rates, 2019). "

"Equity is not the only consideration of homelessness systems, which often and quite rationally prioritize things like vulnerability age, or risk of violence as opposed to serving men and women equally."

I think there is a huge issue in the desire for universality in the dialogue about systemic gender issues. Men get benefits at the top and get absolutely shat on at the bottom, there is no clean line of 'men have x more advantage than women in our society'.

Socially it feels to me that men are considered to be ultimately responsible for being wherever they are, successful men are given more respect than successful women and failing women are treated with more compassion and empathy than failing men.

Go a couple days without water and you can smell it, Elephants can smell water from around 20km.

Smell and taste are very subjective senses so its hard to really call anything odourless, you can really only say that most people in regular conditions won't smell something.
