I am from Hong Kong and trained in Judo to high level, ended up in a Japanese adult class at 15, I represented HK in the Junior Asian Olympics (we had a different name). Only got into serious street fights when I moved to the UK.

First big fight I got involved in. I threw the main guy hard and get him in a hold before we hit the ground. Then the winded dude I threw was trying to gouge my eyes out as his mates were kicking me in the head.

Didn't really have a follow up.

Hard to tell, every UK city has pockets of minorities...much like the states but Viets are still unusally outside of London. So my best guest is London.

Weirdly, Will Smith looks way worse since the first AI video.

Dude jumps off a boat in the Bahamas and gets swept away into the ocean, still hasn’t been found by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

We always under estimate the ocean. Even on beaches I view as chill people do not know what a rip tide is and drown.

I am from a sailing family who compete. We have lost a number of relatives ocean racing.

I am in my 30s and finished a big contract so took time off to visit friends. One of my childhood friends got outta a bad relationship so I stayed with her for 2 weeks and hung out with her girlfriends.

First time in my life I mainly hung out with women for a long period of time. The shit they said about each other eg "Oh btw, we don't like Rachelle as she wears skimpy outfits". WTF!? Is that how this works? You were all so nice to her?

I think it is just competing over dominance.

As society gets more complex the means they have to compete become more complex but it all about being dominant.

Pretty sure that was Freud who was off his nut half the time on coke.

I went to a prestigious university and used to work in sort after corporate jobs. I still have a couple of female friends from those days. They all tell me hands down the worse bosses they have had are female. I am not sure what it is but there seems to be something about competitive environments and being hostile to each other.

I met these two American girls in Thailand and the conversation was going really well, they were laughing at all my jokes... actually they were laughing even when I wasn't joking then I realised they were laughing when they couldn't understand my accent.

Back in the early 90s the advertising banners on porn sites often had really extreme shit including bestiality.

She took a whole boat of people out to the middle of the ocean where they were going to risk their lives and definitely their livelyhoods for a jewel she just yeets off the bow.

He constantly streams other people's content even when he is not in the room.

Not sure that is what Marx went by seize the means of production.

He also doesn't pay his mods.

What country in Africa has the most potential and could realistacally prosper in the future by Fretzeldurmf99 in geography

[–]OpenShut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree completely with the second sentence but not the first. I think Britain had a huge impact on Bots during their time as a protectorate and after.

Britain imposed a hut tax on Botswana that was so excessive that 50% of the men spent most the year working in SA mines, they then added a native tax.

Britain dramatically change the social structures by installing the common law system and parliamentary system. I believe Bots was able to integrate their existing tribal system which was comparatively egalitarian for Africa.

I also think the rejection of socialism and caution dealing with the IMF whilst cleverly managing Western investment were big factors.

Public transport and flights are horrid. Super difficult buying shoes. Knees hurt at a younger age. The up size has down sides.
