My friend told me about this situation, but she didn't take action because she was too afraid of the potential consequences. The low conviction rate and the involvement of a close family friend, who had family support, made her hesitant. It frustrates me that people are quick to support harsh laws while rejecting the updates needed for laws that are clearly unfit for purpose.
"Sinatraa's ex has withdrawn from the case, and this decision is unrelated to the effectiveness of the American legal system.
According to a 2021 article by The Guardian, rape is one of the easiest violent crimes to escape justice in much of the world. In the U.S., only 19% of reported rapes and sexual assaults result in arrests, and just around 6.5% lead to a conviction. I can provide the link to this source if needed, but I want to keep this brief.
For survivors, the decision to pursue a case is ultimately personal; they know what happened to them, and the trauma they carry is immense. Often, the involvement of the courts, convictions, and police only adds to their suffering. Speaking from the experiences of people I know who have faced these situations, the court process seems to offer little in the way of healing.
When someone asks, "But why not tough it out and seek a conviction to protect others?" I reference The Guardian's statistics. Only 6.5% lead to a conviction, which highlights the vast disparity in outcomes. To further illustrate this disparity, I will also refer to https://rainn.org/statistics/criminal-justice-system.
This issue extends beyond the points already discussed; https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6994185/#S4 is also an excellent study if you're interested in looking further into it. I believe your perspective is fundamentally flawed; it is well-known that the U.S. justice system regarding sexual violence is biased in favour of the perpetrator from the outset.
ur unironically getting so pressed over a comment like this, seek help.
it's midnight in your flag go to bed lil bro
longest was when i didn't play for like 9 days but it only lasted like 6
i have no clue who many people on either of these teams are but eggster nightz and poppin went crazy in different games here, thoughts on them actually being good in pro play?
I can't do that anymore my alt is plat and my main is ascendant, it just feels too ass
Honestly, Section 7 is so vast and riot just doesn't care, u likely did something wrong however I can almost guarantee you'll never get it resolved, Good luck unironically.
They aren't dumbasses, they just haven't seen him or likely tried to analyse the gameplay and what he did good or bad, dgzin makes very little mistakes which is important for top tier duelists
The reality is often people have a misguided assumption that dgzin, keznit, etc are all egoists who cannot "play with the team" like their god aspas or derke or literally anyone from NA so they get misguided hatred
Siko lost by 3 rounds against a team who competed at the biggest event this year, no way your gonna call them t4 lmao.
I appreciate you for trying brother, however above I think it might be better to focus less on the comments "men are better at x y z and instead focus on the fundamental fact that women and men are just different, it's much less confrontational and it might work better in the future, just some advice and I appreciate the comments.
I advise you to find evidence supporting your claims. I looked into this, and it is quite challenging because there isn't much evidence available, and to my knowledge, studies on this topic haven’t been created. Please avoid making statements like, "biologically, there is 0 difference in skill between men and women," without clarification on whether you're referring to physical sports or video games. It's unclear, and it represents a misinterpretation of my argument. I was discussing both physical sports and video games, as evidenced by both of my sources, This indicates that you may not have a thorough response to my actual points. Regardless of whether we are discussing video games or physical sports, your statement is still factually incorrect.
It’s disappointing because, as someone who claims to care about the significant issue of game changers being misinterpreted, you should be more open to considering the intricate and challenging details surrounding this topic.
What's especially disappointing in your response is that it suggests you didn’t even examine the sources. If you had, you would have recognized that one of them pertained to video games, not just physical sports.
"biologically, there is 0 difference in skill between men and women." this is an ignorant take mostly made by people who don't understand or who haven't looked at basic scientific studies on the facts. https://www.acsm.org/news-detail/2023/09/29/acsm-releases-expert-consensus-statement-the-biological-basis-of-sex-differences-in-athletic-performance this is from the American college of sports medicine and it says in the first few statements of KEY FINDINGS "Biological sex is a determinant of athletic performance" if u want to read further into it I highly advise it because it doesn't just shit on women and say "men better" with the final key determination which says "The rate of improvement in athletic performance of women has exceeded that of men in the last 100 years across a multitude of sports as women have gained access to training, equipment, facilities, and opportunities."
"the difference comes socially; 10-20 years ago, boys could freely play video games as kids, but girls would often be shunned, pushed away from it, dissuaded by parents etc. It wasn't socially acceptable for girls to play, but for boys it was fine." I don't get the point of this because while yes, people were shunned for it and not given the same opportunities, if u really wanted to do something u could've still done it, just because people u know disagree with u does not = u needing to listen to their bullshit and therefore, in my opinion u should go after what u wanted to do despite the fact, I feel if u really cared about it you would've done such and I will accept that with some things such as football it was physically impossible to do so I understand there are barriers there, but on the contrary of that "if u really wanted to do something u could've still done it" comes into effect here, women wanted their ability to compete in these sports back so eventually they gained the momentum and the support to make it happen and it's turned out to be severely positive for I feel everyone involved. everything I've said here I feel also fits into "This of course has the knock-on effect, that nowadays, 20 years later (2024) the boys who grew up playing video games are much much better, especially at the pro level, since they have grown up playing video games their whole lives. considering being an esports player was a dream for many young boys, but was completely denied for many young girls."
"The reason why trans players are 'better' in GC is obvious; they were boys during their childhood!"
from https://www.brown.edu/news/2017-02-27/gameskill
"the research showed that people who played the most matches per week (more than 64) had the largest increase in skill over time. But playing lots of games wasn’t the most efficient way to improve skill. Looking at the data another way — in terms of which groups showed the most improvement per match rather an over time — showed markedly different results. That analysis showed that, over their first 200 matches, those who played four to eight matches week gained the most skill per match, followed by those who played eight to 16 matches." essentially it's like working out in a lot of ways, if u do lots of reps of heavy weight you'd assume you'd become stronger, but rather your just more injury prone and if u space it out and lift slightly less weight you'll consistently improve more over time, so while yes men have had more time to compete, everyone had the same amount of time to practice and I know stories of male footballers who were playing football for fun way before they became part of a club, so on one hand, yes you're right but women can still fairly easily catch up, and if they just enjoyed playing they'd already have been practicing, I would also like to make clear that esports does not have a long shelf life like football or other sports, people often retire around 25/30 apart from rare cases considering that fact it should be a lot easier for women to "catch up" especially if, like in Valorant they know they have a scene to work around, obviously there's opposing factors there like "oh we can't practice effectively due to toxic people or weird men being creeps" my advice for that would be, find a 5 stack and start to go hard to strats and improve your aim/movement and other repetitive things in dms or tdms.
basically, tl:dr
some things your so off base, some your right on and some ur completely denying facts, but some just lack a severe amount of context on or plain out ignorance on and some your just completely right on, if I didn't reply I didn't feel the need to explain further, the point is that u need a much bigger discussion about this if u want anything to actually change, like leo faria does when he comes on and explains formats or rulings etc, it would be nice to have someone like him for specifically gc and explaining why everything works like it does and whatnot. i hope anyone who reads learns something from it
Average Valorant fan sees someone happy and appreciative of their position and prays on their downfall
no idgaf abt that i just wanted to know what was going on
i just got back and valyn trent and shit are playing for g2 gozen wtf happened.
Bro if u don't want to improve, don't play ranked, if u do want to improve, do play ranked.
very simple formula
I see people shitting on Joe Rogan and then turning around and saying Theo Von, The first thing i see when i go onto his YouTube is him having a podcast with Donald Trump.
To put into context, I don't give 2 fucks what your political beliefs are or whether we agree, but putting any sort of politician on your platform to me is instantly unlikeable unless u give the other side the context or the platform to do the same
People always say this is a brainrot podcast but it's the only podcast which has very high tier guests and doesn't try to mob them and make them look bad
Nope, Just very generalized "this is the stuff you'd get on a test for x y and z"
My Media one has sections focused on specific stuff like Editing, Recording, Audio, etc
Another option, think about checking out the local libraries. I've rented out psychology books in the past so I'd assume they have school books available for rent.
Bro, there were tons of physic books left, Both physics and maths never sell out that fast
Bro this just reminded me, i saw in the charity shop recently tons of school books for 2 pound each (textbooks and base level national 5's) for Americans this would be equivalent to SATII or AP courses, I went round a little late because i was busy and all the psychology ones were gone but i got 2 good media ones (Advanced higher and National 5) so yippee
I asked for a source, and you said "This is where it comes from" and never linked or sent anything. How are any of these sources reliable? They all, in some way, have ties to or reasons to lie for Mazino's sake.
Edit: You linked a Mazino Glazing thread which includes maybe one questionable thing about Mazino and a bunch of, with all due respect, irrelevant people jumping in saying "omg I met them and they are so good". This isn't a reputable source. The people involved are unrelated to what is actually going on and are not even talking about it. How can you call this the "unbiased, no-context facts"? This is a bunch of nonsense stuck together hoping it'd stick, lmao.
It's a fundamentally superior game in terms of the actual gameplay and versatility but when it comes to the gunplay and how easy it is to just go kill I feel it'll just fizzle out eventually
There's no way your debating who is better when one isn't even playing
Ardiis being smart. u should've known not to comment that..
man these guys are gonna be hit with shock when they realise this is how normal functioning adults actually have to act
Don't bother, you'll just be called a weird coper, people on this site are odd
The thing is, the team fundamentally looked better when they got jinggg back, but they also seem to have missed the biggest period of Monyet, he was only just getting started and learning how to play with the team and then he got dropped, if he had been kept on for longer I don't believe prx would be playing like this now
How does the increasing pressure on relatively new players like Primmie impact their performance in the competitive scene? (for Talon's Frost.)
I'm convinced people just talk about regions to spout a bunch of gibberish and hope people agree
The fact this even needs to be explained hurts me tbh
A genuine question on why standards are not up to par does not equal complaining, Complaining would be "oh my god if i had 240 hz i would be topfragging every game on lan" aka what SKrossi does every single time he loses a match/series or plays badly.
The thing is, In return to #57 this is actively how sexual harassment in social situations/work situations starts. Lines such as "oh it's just how he is", "it's his nature", ETC
A prime example of this would be Russel Brand more recently, Both (Jay and Russel) have a severely not serious and even borderline toxic/arrogant way of putting themselves across, the problem is if you make that your brand but it isn't just a brand and it's actually how you are then it makes other people think "oh having these horrendously bad/problematic traits is okay and I should do it too"
Another example is Johnny Depp, He was celebrated as if he was some hero for defeating the "Abuser" Amber Heard and that he was so strong for what he went through, I wanna first say that I agree with the fact he was abused but I also understand circumstances can change how people act.
People choose specific people to be around and if you are consistently around toxic and arrogant people unironically then that shows what type of person u are or will eventually become no matter how good u are now
TL:DR I'm trying to warn about how seemingly harmless behaviour can lead to more serious issues like sexual harassment. It shows how public figures with problematic behaviour can influence others E.G, Andrew Tate. It stresses the importance of considering the impact of our actions on others and encourages empathy and understanding while recognizing individual differences.
Did I once mention anything about DRX or Flashback either? I never once talked about that, u brought that up fully on your own, U said a bunch of horrendous circumstances that didn't happen at all and felt the need to make it public while also saying it as though it's a fact about something. u don't get to hide behind "this is unrelated I meant no harm", fuck off bro your just too pussy to admit instead of just trusting nothing u chose to make up a delusional story in your own head of how the victim is somehow the perpetrator here instead of just leaving your dogshit opinion out of it, get help.
u are just spouting a bunch of shit while making it come across as if this actually happened and now that u realise everyone thinks ur stupid as fuck for it u went back on it
this is the only time i've ever seen the r slur actually be justified lmao
sen aren't beating th, trace beat talon and maaybe vitality, depends how they look, fut beating edg is cope at best
