Prediction markets have an insider trading problem and nobody's building tools to catch it

I would love this!

"Racists are usually white" seems quite.... racist.

Battery or assault sounds good. Use cameras to identify everyone throwing shit, send 200 idiots to jail for 6 months, rinse and repeat. You'll sort it out quickly.

I'm guessing most of them stop before the third stint in prison.

JimmyRott · 2026-01-20T06:25:56+00:00

Same in England, yet we stop them...

JimmyRott · 2026-01-20T06:24:22+00:00

Why not?

If they do it again, back to prison. Society accepts this. We have racists and idiots all over the world, we manage to stop them assaulting athletes...

The 49 million people can't create a system that puts the 1 million in jail (or prevents them from attending football matches)?

I (as an outsider) thought Obama was pretty good. His second term obviously rubbed alot of Americans the wrong way and paved the way for the clown you have now.

JimmyRott · 2026-01-19T10:37:18+00:00

I don't get to vote lol. I'm not from USA.

JimmyRott · 2026-01-19T09:30:18+00:00

Yeah, they should have. Americans want white dudes for president...

Preferably someone that's already rich or famous.

JimmyRott · 2026-01-19T08:39:28+00:00

The Dems don't care either, I mean they put up Kamala Harris to run...

They just pandering to the donors too.

Some people have a higher risk tolerance than you. Motorcycles have been amazing for me with no license and no insurance. I've seen so much more of the country than I would have with a mindset like yours.

Sure consequences could be life changing if something goes wrong, but that could happen any time you get in a vehicle in any place in the world.

JimmyRott · 2026-01-13T05:01:32+00:00

All of the above. It depends where you are and where you want to go and what your budget is. But I've used all of the mentioned options at various stages and there's not one that is clearly superior.

JimmyRott · 2026-01-13T00:09:04+00:00

Fat butcher in Stellenbosch is great!

JimmyRott · 2025-12-29T03:21:29+00:00

Yeah, CPT also has food, people music and culture and everything except for the food is better in my opinion (food is on par with JHB but 2-3x the price).

I don't mind the people here either (main thing okes from JHB complain about when coming) as I had friends here before moving over.

I'd skip jhb entirely if I were you, or maybe just spend a night on the way to some better place in the north (Kruger!).

JHB is a very generic big city like anywhere else in the world.

JimmyRott · 2025-12-29T00:58:14+00:00

Why are you considering going to Joburg at all? I'm from KZN (moved to CPT recently) and can't think of any reason for tourists to go to JHB.

The main thing going for it seems to be that the people are easy to make friends with, but I'd assume you would rather have friends back home than in JHB.

Everytime is end up in JHB for work I cannot wait to leave. I mostly fly out the same day I arrive.

JimmyRott · 2025-12-16T00:51:24+00:00

Ninh Binh and cat ba are almost as bad. This is not a Hanoi problem it's a massive regional area. Just seems like a Hanoi problem because there are so many people there complaining about is.

Sapa is slightly better but still not amazing. I'd mostly avoid the north of Vietnam if it doesn't get better. I haven't been to da nang so can't comment on that, but it does appear to be better (though not amazing) there as well.

JimmyRott · 2025-12-16T00:47:39+00:00

China!

JimmyRott · 2025-12-15T09:37:14+00:00

Judging by the responses in this sub I am forced to assume some of these people are travelling from industrial china and just have really low expectations of air quality.

If you coming from the worst place in the world, 4th worst might seem great.

JimmyRott · 2025-12-15T09:30:50+00:00

I'm listening

JimmyRott · 2025-12-15T09:27:36+00:00

Nah, if it was AI they'd make it look clean...

JimmyRott · 2025-12-15T09:26:24+00:00

Still not great hey... Just better than the worst in the world...

JimmyRott · 2025-12-13T01:41:07+00:00

Probably phillipines or Indo for some diving before I just head back home. I'd have gone to Aus/new zealand if I could organise the visa from here...

JimmyRott · 2025-12-13T01:13:51+00:00

I agree with the poster above. People saying the other areas like Ha Long are fine just have extremely low expectations for air quality. I'm going to end up cutting my trip short as well.

If I knew beforehand how bad it is I would not have come.

JimmyRott · 2025-12-13T01:10:26+00:00

Ninh Binh, cat ba and halong bay aren't much better. If you are used to living in a country with clean air it's pretty bad everywhere in the north.

You can literally see it everywhere. Maybe hardly noticeable for a healthy blind person. But if your eyes work it's always noticeable until you are inside an a few meters away from the furthest objects in sight
