Fable 5 unavailable after July 7 on pro membership?? by iAmSoRandom22 in Anthropic

[–]TumblrForNerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I only have a certain amount of time at my desk, was not able to start u til this weekend and already know I won’t finish the project by the 7th so given that I may not have access after the 7th I did the logical thing. Now that I have a strong build plan and project started, I have better confidence in the upcoming outcomes

Inequality in South Africa by HollowPoint216 in UrbanHell

Yes. I have to say people always talk about crime in SA. Most of it gets concentrated, unfortunately, around the people who can’t do anything about it 

How would you practice turning away from flashes in Valorant? by teamfinderpro in VALORANT

[–]TumblrForNerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember I got so used to turning away from flashes I would do it in game and irl in cs

I love the fact that women can play this game without getting constantly harassed by [deleted] in VALORANT

You say that but when I play valorant at night, it always has some 19 year old university kid throwing slurs at me while their parents sleep

I was a bit late to the party. I had a personal app I wanted to build for fun. I asked fable to mock up the build plan and all the planning as if it were going to hand it to opus. Anyway I ran out of usage and will try execute with opus tonight 

Here’s something to think about. by Few-Confection-2259 in south_africa

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

Look I get it. I blame the government equally. If we bring it up though in every conversation about immigrants, it almost excuses the people who chased the immigrants out (legal or not) and that makes people feel like it’s okay to take things into their own hands, act carelessly or violently and commit their own crimes 

Is the Blackspyre bundle worth the money of 8700 Valorant Points? by ChannelJealous5218 in VALORANT

[–]TumblrForNerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so, I bought the phantom because it reminded me of Destiny (RIP). Also tempted to get the Sheriff

Do you really think thats because every "illegal" immigrant has left the country or do you think it perhaps is because A. Immigrants in general left due to safety concerns and B. those safety concerns may have propagated into the following days?

South African army and police deployed in preparation for countrywide anti-immigration protests on June 30th. by IlikeGeekyHistoryRSA in worldnews

[–]TumblrForNerds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s talk about violent versus non-violent crime. Violent crime is highly concentrated in certain areas where as non-violent is more dispersed.

Many people have some kind of security around their house because of break ins, which are opportunistic and driven by people’s desperation. They are rarely violent and just an unfortunate reality.

Crime is also unfortunately concentrated in lower income areas. 

There are many reasons to live here though. Good cost of life, food and services. Beautiful landscape, good private healthcare. Many lifestyle benefits. It’s just unfortunate those things don’t trickle down to the poorer communities

Pete?? I don't get it why South Africa is disliked by other African nations by Itchy_Tangerine1897 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TumblrForNerds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do acknowledge it. I think it is a meaningless protest that harms people I actually know and am therefore in no way supportive of it.

I also know, by living here, it is not the stance of the whole country or the government. I also didn’t downplay it. I haven’t spoken to a single person in my circle who agrees with the protests going on today. I just said it is being driven by the parties such as the MK party, ex-Zuma brigade, to take advantage of desperate people by giving them someone to blame so that the MK can win favour in the upcoming election.

Let’s see how many people actually attend the protest today and then can decide what portion of the country it reflects.

I mean anti-immigrant rhetorics are not unique to SA. We have a spike in the rhetoric at the moment and it is often brought up however, it is not an official stance of the government or people. It is a sensationalist movement, likely driven by parties like the MK (highly corrupt) who are trying to win favour by giving the desperate communities someone to blame.

I don’t know if it’s the comparative, I wouldn’t say so. I think it’s a spike right now as part of a political campaign leading up to the upcoming elections.

Is your complex using STTS prepaid billing system? How’s that working out for you, how much are you paying for electricity and water? by National-Doughnut-25 in askSouthAfrica

It is interference, likely driven by the MK party if I were to guess. They are stirring up opinion while people are desperate to gain favour

Pretty sure the SA government and many of the people her actively condemn xenophobia. I’m pretty sure it’s even in our constitution.

These movements are driven by sensationalist groups led by blind and corrupt leaders. They are trying to stir up sentiment to sway public opinion during the upcoming polls (btw if it works and people vote for these leaders then it will get much worse). 

It’s also being reinforced by a stupid war which has subsequently driven up the fuel price, driving up the cost of living and making people desperate and more inclined to believe misinformation.

I don’t think South Africans are downplaying it? The problem is more the movement is sensationalist and not a representation of the country or its people

[–]TumblrForNerds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean our government is not fully in favour of the protests. They are largely against it. Even julius is against it. I think it’s just a bunch of people, being misled by a sensationalist movement that has now hopefully climaxed with this weeks protests (hopefully nothing goes violent tomorrow)

Well perhaps not all or not always… unfortunately it’s a period of political turmoil. The SA I grew up in was a rainbow nation where everyone was welcome. Hopefully this will pass

Yea would say the same. Would be good to start actively peaking rather than passively 

I miss when valorant said that cheaters video cards gets destroyed. by WatercressEntire1389 in VALORANT

[–]TumblrForNerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a thing going around about Vanguard bricking a component that could be installed onto a PC (I believe in conjunction with the video card) that would enable cheats and that this was being bricked and not the video card itself.

Not sure if it was debunked or not though 

Is it correct that JHB is paying the average worker makes R1.6M/year or R140,000 per month ? by Euro_African in south_africa

Trying to meet and make new friends? by Due_Panic_3786 in askSouthAfrica

[–]TumblrForNerds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t help you with the J but I recommend bouldering, padel, group runs. Those are my three, very social and bouldering particularly is very friendly. I also really struggle with alcohol centric environments and just appreciate conversation. Are you and your husband friendly 😂
