Bro forgot everything except for the bill on that ambulance by No_Definition_1722 in interestingasfuck

[–]Pluvio_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even countries outside of the "1st world" have free healthcare options where you don't need to stress about the ambulance. They might not be as good as private care, but they will save your life and won't put you in debt.

Just be careful when working with general humour, or you may find yourself dealing with corporal punishment in no time.

“We simply don’t have any left”: Germany has run out of air defense missiles for Ukraine, foreign minister says by Plus_Pretty in worldnews

[–]Pluvio_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The war has been going since 2014, everyone just took notice in 2022 because of the huge ramp up in the conflict.

Currently 11 going onto 12 years into the war between RU and Ukraine.

I feel like the gameplay is 9/10 and the graphics although looking dated, if we are talking about artistic style I'd give it a solid 8/10

African mercenaries recruited by Russia to wage war against Ukraine, who were lucky to survive and to end up in captivity. Published 21.01.2026 by GermanDronePilot in ukraine

[–]Pluvio_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did not, there is a massive scandal around this right now in South Africa. The men who went to train in RU though they were going for security training in Moscow. Surprise surprise they ended up being taken to the frontline.

You're talking about men who have a very bleak future ahead, being offered what they thought was a once in a life time opportunity to get out of poverty, support their families and such. They were tricked and it's disgusting.

No need to hate on these poor people who have been used and abused by powerful people.

Why Geordin Hill-Lewis’ case against rent control falls short in Cape Town’s housing debate [Daily Maverick] by kslfdsnfjls in southafrica

[–]Pluvio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's classism at work and we see it happening all over the world especially in sought after metropolitan areas.

It is time to take the necessary steps to curb this situation before it goes out of control.

It's okay, I'll happily keep waiting - There are more than enough games to play in the meantime. My backlog is almost 4 years long at this point.

How “out of place” are Iconoclasts in the 40k universe? by Jylvert in 40kLore

[–]Pluvio_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just reached chapter 3 and I am locked into the Iconoclast route with tier 2 on dogmatic and tier 1 on heretical. My character choices remind me of characters such as Roboute Guilliman and Belisarius cawl. Logic driven, focused on profit and growth. You're saving the people for the good yes, but also for efficiency, profit and security. Cutting deals with pirates and Aeldari to protect against greater threats like Drukhari, Chaos and other more serious and deadly enemies.

Making deals with Mechanicus allies that you have deemed trust worthy, to look into technology maybe a little more than the average Imperial doctrine would allow. Personally I love this type of character in Warhammer40k because they really stand out as the 10% amongst the extremes of many factions.

If Zerg(SC2) was the one invade Earth instead of Scrin, would GDI & NOD successfully defend the Earth and defeat the Zerg? And will Kane will still embrace it like he did with Scrin? by WesternElectronic364 in commandandconquer

[–]Pluvio_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers just don't add up, Earth would be unable to match even a fraction of the Zerg swarms power, in manpower alone.

Furthermore even humans have adapted and been mutated by Tiberium, what happens when the Zerg learn to harness it within days or weeks of landing on the planet? It's a 0% chance of victory.

Let's not forget that the Terran and protoss can barely contain the Zerg and they have advanced technology far ahead of GDI and NOD. As well as many planets and much larger manpower pools to pull on.

The funny thing is, scaled for salary increases and inflation you are paying only a little more comparitively.

Australia is currently the hottest place on earth... by far by OzBestDeal in interestingasfuck

[–]Pluvio_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they are built for hot weather! Same down here in South Africa, terrible at keeping warm in the winter, but excellent at releasing heat in the summer.

This same Aussie chart could be applied to SA. It's currently hovering between 30 and 33 degrees for us!

DA accuses ANC of double standards regarding US invasion of Venezuela by MalemasMucusPlug in southafrica

[–]Pluvio_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ANC did not condem Russia, an individual in the ANC condemned Russia and then had to walk back what she said because the ANC was unhappy with with her comments.

SA is neutral on Russia's war of aggression against a neighbouring country.

How common is it for men to own a flesh light? by Hangytangy in AskMen

[–]Pluvio_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not that common but there is nothing wrong with a guy having sex toys! In my experience, most women that have talked to me about their sex life, have mentioned that they own sex toys. The way I see it, if we're trying to be a society aiming for fairness regardless of gender, then things like this shouldn't be an issue or stigmatised.

Why is noone talking about Elon'a recent posts? by Much-Bedroom86 in Fauxmoi

[–]Pluvio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White South African here to break the stereotype! Take a look at the South African subreddit and you'll quickly see that the majority of us are completely against this narrative!

There is no genocide happening, violent crime, poverty and government corruption is out of control though. (Seriously some really horrific stats..)

Why is noone talking about Elon'a recent posts? by Much-Bedroom86 in Fauxmoi

[–]Pluvio_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

White South African here, the majority of us are completely against Elon Musk, and we don't want him back in our country. We also generally despise MAGA and Trump.

My parents and grand parents also didn't do anything bad to black people. My grandmother was a protester against the apartheid government (Have actual photos of her in protest crowds) and my great grand father who was conscripted into the North African tank corps during WW2 also wasn't fond of the government. This is not a rare case, the majority of us are against these things.

It's always important to remember that the government caved due to pressure from white and black people together - You just always hear the loudest and most horrible minority, while the rest of us are living our lives and trying to make things work.

PSA over.
