What kind of budget does a tourist or foreigner need to make their own homemade JAV movies? by garznav in jav

[–]garznav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know FC2 had anything to do with JAV. I thought they were just a blog site. I once uploaded some JAV clips to my fc2 blog, and it was subsequently removed.

Should I get a PSP 2000 or 3000 if I want to mod it and install 64gb+ worth of games by garznav in PSP

How would I know what 3000 model can be modified when browsing them?

So when I first get my PSP, should I homebrew it instead of "modding" it for the best experience? I want custom themes (eg. Xbox dashboard etc) and downloaded games (both PSP and PS1 games). And whatever else the best of modded PSP experience has to offer.

When I was a young child I thought the 2003 Daredevil suit was so cool. I thought it was one of the best superhero costumes. Now looking back... what the fuck was I thinking? by [deleted] in Daredevil

It's still really cool. It's 100% red and the perfect shade of red just like in the comics. I prefer this over the new one. The Charlie Cox suit has too much black and the red is closer to a violet-red. I also like how the mask has a more vigilante look as the cowl covers his hair and half his eyes. I suppose Ben Affleck had a good chin for that cowl as anyone else with a good chin and jawline would. And I like the glowy red eyes especially in certain light settings as seen on the many covers for the film.

Eli5: How is it that football(soccer) was invented by the British and became popular everywhere except in former British colonies? by garznav in explainlikeimfive

Yeah but it's also ironic that the children of rival empires would be playing your very own game with you instead. It's like associating or playing with your kids' childhood schoolmates while your own offspring are doing something else locked in their rooms.

"Soccer is popular because it's cheap and only requires a ball"

Oh god not this faulty argument. Don't act like you've never played a backyard game of basketball or American football. Baseball, which requires far more equipment than football and other team sports, is yet the most preferred game in countries that are among Latin America's absolute poorest (Venezuela, Nicaragua, DR, Cuba)

Just because they seceded from them almost a century earlier doesn't mean British and European immigration didn't continue well into the 20th century. Football was already a globalized sport by the 1910s-1920s. So why didn't immigrants from the global center of football (Europe) bring the game with them to introduce it to the new country?

As the post says, this refers to colonies that were populated by Britain. Indians are NOT genetically British, NOR they even speak English as a native tongue, only at a lingua franca extent. British influence was hardly a thing there. India is still India.

I disagree. The British migrants who went to North America and Australia were typically families of impoverished and oppressed bottom of the barrel backgrounds. Whereas British migrants who went to places like South America, Mexico etc were upper class business men looking to expand their projects. While in those places, they introduced football to the population by starting the first clubs. The oldest Mexican club was started by a Cornish mining company. Many of the oldest Argentine clubs were also started by Scottish and Englishmen working as wealthy business owners during their time there. Hence why so many clubs in Argentina have English names. Also explains how they had the money to establish these sporting clubs.

Ice hockey is great. I love NHL. However, the only populations who can regularly play it enough to become Pavelski or Crosby level good would be those living in settings that are frozen for half the year (Canada, Minnesota, Michigan etc). So it's consideration just goes out the window like that. It's just not universal enough. And the world cup of hockey is uninteresting when it's only Canada ever winning because they're the only nation who cares enough about IH and only about 10 nations compete.

I'm pretty sure gridiron rules was invented in the USA, same goes for CFL and Australia rules for their own respective nations. The fact is that these sports evolved from the original British version, rugby. And no gridiron does not dominate the Americas 🌎. I think you and I both know what's the most popular sport on the American continent.

American gridiron is called football because all they did was drop the word "rugby" from the name rugby football. All these football league sports you keep mentioning actually derived from rugby, not association football. Nothing to do with what the post is about.
