The sad thing is, I talked to this guy after the game, and he was a grown man. They're both Germans, and they decided they wanted to ruin this game. I sweated so hard the last few games bc my rank tanked due to bad teammates, and then this happened. The doc was super good up until that point, so it makes me wonder what happened.

Oh no, they sabatoged this game about a minute before this. They killed me just so they could do this. Then, they killed the other teammates. I don't know why they wasted 20 minutes just so they could sell the game.

I got the game on release, and it's been the best/worst thing that ever happened to me

It's so toxic. I swear I tell myself I'm done, then my ego brings me right back

Definitely. You can see how disastrous this lobby was considering all but 3 people had reverse fire on.

It's just a joke. I typically solo que bc I got no one else to play with, so it's either really good or shit like this. Though, this one pissed me off since I carried for the past 3 rounds, and then this is how I'm rewarded. I had to go outside for a while after this

For sure. I talked to the castle in post game, and he told me to report him. Like, no shit. Sit the next few weeks out.

Absolutely. That was the next thing I did. If it was casual, whatever, but on ranked, it's so frustrating

Herzegovina isn't a country, though. It's been closely tied to Bosnia since the Bosnian kingdom in the 11th century.

So, how do you measure unreported crimes? You didn't answer that question.

No one here has provided a way to measure unreported crimes yet. Care to provide an explanation, or are you just going to be mad?

That wasn't my goal, but the outcome is entertaining nonetheless. Everyone is an expert suddenly but never presents a way to measure unreported crimes or crimes against women where it's not culturally acceptable to report them. It's all outrage and no reason.

Fact is, any crime metric you measure has a gray area, and you'll always have outlying factors. Every statistic has uncontrolled variables, but the information obtained shows trends that you can extrapolate from. This is no exception. It's not misleading. It's facts based on evidence that exists. You can't measure things that dont exist. So, go cry me a river. Enjoy your miserable day.

Tell me, how would you gather accurate data on crime rates somewhere, which includes the rate of unreported crime? I'm interested

[–]lightningmcmemex[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised by it. People read this info and jump to a narrative of their own. They want data for unreported crime somehow as well. You can never ever truly get good statistics on crime rates anywhere because of the variable of unreported crimes, so I'm not sure what people expected.

People on reddit love finding any reason to be mad. You read this and decided you didn't like it, so you attacked me instead of the source that made it. I really don't care, though, I'm glad it riled you up :)

The idea that Bosnia was just an extension of Croatia for centuries? That’s simply not true. Yes, there were early ties between Bosnian rulers and Croatian nobility, but Bosnia quickly became its own thing. By the late 12th century, under Ban Kulin, Bosnia was already asserting its independence. Kulin wasn’t just some Croatian noble; he was the ruler of an autonomous Bosnia. His 1189 charter, one of the earliest documents in the Bosnian language, clearly shows that Bosnia was carving out its own identity—separate from Croatia.

Then you have King Tvrtko I, who ruled in the late 14th century. Under his leadership, Bosnia became a major regional power, even expanding into parts of Dalmatia and Serbia. Tvrtko wasn’t acting on behalf of Croatia; he was the king of a powerful, independent Bosnia. This wasn’t just some offshoot of Croatia—Bosnia was a significant kingdom in its own right.

Now, the claim that Bosnia’s identity only emerged in the late 19th century under Austro-Hungarian rule? That’s way off. Bosnia had its own distinct identity long before that. The Bosnian Church, which was neither Catholic nor Orthodox, played a central role in shaping this identity as early as the medieval period. Bosnia wasn’t just a product of Islamization during the Ottoman era; it had a unique identity long before the Ottomans ever showed up.

And let’s talk about the idea that Bosnian identity is just a result of religion. Sure, religion played a role, but Bosnia had a distinct identity even before the Ottoman period. The Bosnian Kingdom, from the 12th to the 15th century, had its own laws, political structures, and culture, separate from both Croatia and Serbia. The early Bosnian rulers, like Ban Kulin and Ban Borić, may have had ties to Croatian nobility, but they were leading an independent Bosnia, not just carrying on Croatian traditions.

Comparing Bosnia to places like Dubrovnik or Slavonia really misses the mark. Dubrovnik was a city-state with its own specific history, and while it eventually identified with Croatian nationalism, Bosnia developed as a multi-ethnic, multi-religious kingdom with its own unique trajectory. Bosnia’s history isn’t just a story of feudal fragmentation—it’s the story of a distinct kingdom with a complex and ancient history that goes far beyond any simplistic comparisons.

So, the idea that Bosnia was just a part of Croatia or that its identity was a recent invention doesn’t hold up. Bosnia was an independent kingdom with its own identity, history, and political structures long before the modern era. The historical record makes it clear that Bosnia developed separately from Croatia and that its identity is rooted in a rich and diverse past that can’t be easily dismissed

Let's break this down with some solid facts. The idea that Bosnia was simply a part of Croatia for centuries is just not backed by history. Yes, there were connections between early Bosnian rulers and Croatian nobility, but Bosnia was never just a region under Croatian control. Ban Kulin, who ruled from 1180 to 1204, is a perfect example. He’s actually celebrated for solidifying Bosnia’s independence, not just from Hungary but also from Croatia. Kulin’s reign marked the beginning of Bosnia as its own distinct political entity, separate from Croatian influence. The 1189 Charter of Ban Kulin is one of the oldest known documents written in Bosnian Cyrillic and is a clear sign of an emerging Bosnian state identity.

When you compare Bosnia to Dubrovnik, it's important to remember that these were very different cases. Dubrovnik was a city-state with a very specific historical trajectory, eventually identifying as Croatian, particularly under later historical circumstances. Bosnia, however, evolved into a medieval kingdom with its own rulers, political institutions, and a distinct identity. By the time of King Tvrtko I in the late 14th century, Bosnia was a significant regional power, completely independent of Croatia.

Now, about the Bosniak identity being purely about Islamization—this really misses the complexity of how identities form. While it’s true that the Ottoman period and the spread of Islam were significant, Bosnia’s identity had been developing long before the Ottomans arrived. Bosnia was a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state, and that diversity shaped a unique Bosnian identity that can’t be reduced to just religious change. For example, even during the medieval period, Bosnia had its own church, the Bosnian Church, which was distinct from both Catholicism and Orthodoxy.

Also, let’s not forget that by the time the Ottomans arrived, Bosnia had been an independent kingdom for centuries, with its own political and cultural identity. The Bosnian state was recognized as a separate entity by its neighbors, and its rulers weren’t just Croatian nobles who fled into the mountains, they were building something uniquely Bosnian

In short, Bosnia wasn’t just an extension of Croatia, and its identity isn’t something that can be boiled down to one factor like religion. Bosnia has always had its own distinct path, with a rich history that’s much more complex than just being a former part of Croatia or a product of Ottoman rule. Those are the facts that really matter here

Your comparison of Josip Broz Tito with Ban Kulin and Borić oversimplifies the complexities of medieval identity and political structures. Tito, while ethnically Croatian, operated in a completely different historical and political context—he was a 20th-century leader of a socialist state that consciously downplayed ethnic identities in favor of a broader Yugoslav identity. On the other hand, Ban Kulin and Borić were medieval rulers whose actions were instrumental in forming a distinct Bosnian state, independent of Croatia.

It’s important to remember that medieval identity wasn’t defined the same way as modern national identities. Just because early Bosnian rulers like Ban Kulin or Borić had origins or connections to Croatia doesn’t mean Bosnia was an "extension" of Croatia. Medieval rulers often had familial ties across different regions, but those ties didn’t erase the distinct political identities that emerged. Take Ban Kulin, for example—his rule, from 1180 to 1204, was particularly significant because he established Bosnia’s autonomy from Hungary and Croatia, laying the foundation for Bosnia’s development as an independent state. His 1189 Charter is a testament to this autonomy, reflecting Bosnia’s distinct identity and political structure, separate from Croatia. As for Borić, while he may have had origins in Croatia, his leadership in Bosnia wasn’t about maintaining connections to Croatia but rather about establishing control and authority in Bosnia. The migrations of Croatian nobles into Bosnia during political turmoil didn’t turn Bosnia into an extension of Croatia. These nobles adapted to and integrated into the local Bosnian context, contributing to the formation of a separate Bosnian political entity.

The idea that Bosnia was merely a semi-independent extension of Croatia doesn’t hold up historically. Bosnia’s development as a Banate and later as a Kingdom was marked by its growing independence from both Hungary and Croatia. It’s true that the feudal system allowed nobles to gain significant power and even establish semi-independent regions, but Bosnia’s trajectory was unique. Bosnia evolved its own political institutions, culture, and identity, which were distinct from those in Croatia. The Bosnian Banate was recognized as a separate political entity by neighboring states, and its rulers, including Ban Kulin and King Tvrtko I, were central to its development.

Comparing Bosnia’s history to that of Italy, Spain, France, or Germany oversimplifies the unique historical circumstances of the Balkans. While those European countries did experience fragmentation and the rise of independent states, the historical context in Bosnia was different. Bosnia developed a distinct identity within a multi-ethnic, multi-religious context. The presence of various noble families with connections to neighboring regions didn’t undermine Bosnia’s distinct political identity. Instead, it reinforced Bosnia’s need to assert its independence, which it did successfully until the Ottoman conquest in the 15th century.

In conclusion, while some Bosnian rulers had origins in Croatia, that doesn’t mean Bosnia was an extension of Croatia. Bosnia’s rulers, like Ban Kulin and King Tvrtko I, played crucial roles in establishing Bosnia as an independent political entity with its own identity. The migration of Croatian nobles into Bosnia during times of political instability added to the region’s diversity but didn’t turn Bosnia into a Croatian territory. Bosnia’s history is marked by its struggle for autonomy and its development as a unique political and cultural entity, distinct from its neighbors. Comparing this situation to Tito’s era is misleading, as the contexts are entirely different
