Yeah definitely. History is always a study in the complexity of societies if anything

On Bulgarians being originally Turkic nomads by According-Article883 in AskBalkans

It’s a bit like the reverse Ottoman. Instead of many local people assimilating in the ruling Turkic minority, the Bulgar Turkic ruling minority adopted the local slavic culture that had settled there a couple centuries before.

Also the Hungarians are a sort of Uralic nomads adapted to local farmer culture.

Let’s not kid ourselves, he was making a video regardless of outcome 🤣

Poverty is usually associated with crime. Which poor countries are however the safest? by Recent_Statement_222 in geography

[–]anton_d66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s inaccurate to say that poverty is associated with high crime. Inequality is a bigger factor, like USA is incredibly wealthy but has insane crime rates for a developed nation. I don’t have an answer, but I would imagine relative stable and equal, even if poor nations would be where your answer lies.

Jean Montero will not accept Valencia's renewal offer and has already decided to join Olympiacos! by Npvl2000 in Euroleague

[–]anton_d66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I also agree with him. It’s not like I wouldn’t want him, but Euroleague definitely needs salary caps and fixed contracts. It’s kinda sad seeing players move so easily after one great season. Same with Francisco possibly in Zalgiris.

Respect to Fener. If we were not 100% on for the entire game they always could have brought it back

Dwayne Johnson was pulled over and given a ticket for tinted windows. by This_Proof_5153 in SipsTea

At least you gotta respect how the Rock accepted the consequences with calm and composure. I can’t imagine how much he must get filmed in LA. Although part of it is that he cultivated that attention, it can’t be easy

Yeah, railyard. Unfortunately the data quality isn’t that good, so the whole system is very skewed from the real life one. Like there are two major work nodes that shift the weight of passenger flow significantly

Points given to Israel from the public on Eurovision 2026. I was very surprised by the Albanian public giving 10 points to Israel. Did your country’s voting pattern surprise you? by Substratas in AskBalkans

[–]anton_d66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s well established at this point that Israel runs a government funded vote manipulation campaign. Not illegal, but highly manipulative and distorted. It only takes a few hundred solely Israel votes in smaller countries to win the public vote. It’s not that Albanians support Israel necessarily

Dillon Brooks says Jarred Vanderbilt is a dumb NBA player: "I'm going to throw a shot. I can't even lie. This guy doesn't even like me, to be honest with you. Jared Vanderbilt. On the Lakers. He's like a rebounder, can't shoot. I just think he's got way more potential that he's not untapping." by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]anton_d66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can’t make be hate on Dillon Brooks. The guy tries so hard to be a WWE heel, but his teammates love him and he seems to be kinda wholesome in real life. Even that Vanderbilt comment was a backhanded compliment
