why does it appear to be us most of the time these olympics :/

[–]navman93 113ポイント114ポイント  (5子コメント)

Cause we complained about the housing and refused to stay at the rooms provided?

Maybe this is their way of fucking us, without creating a massive problem (I.e.: Aus pulling out of the olympics)

We'll host our own games with blackjack and hookers! We'll call it the Commonwealth games!

With all the super mutants roaming around I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea.

Nah, it's those damn synths you need to be worrying about, I hear they are very highly equipped to deal with anything.

Damn the highly funded Institute!

Figured the sum of all fears would be Deathclaws mating with drop bears. :/

Which is all still preferable to actually attending the Rio 2016 games.

Maybe it's because, despite all the shit, you guys are still having a good time and having fun so it makes you look like even more of a victim.

Also, I think not many people dislike Australians so when you guys get it rough, people show a lot more sympathy.

For the reason Hope Solo dropped her zika package when arriving in Brazil and made a lot of compliments to the country, she was instructed to do so.

One important part of any sport is the people cheering for you, so it's a good strategy to be sympathetic to the locals, and the US committee definitely wants the people to be in their favour.

So it's not that other teams aren't facing problems as Australians are, they are just quiet about it, sucking it up or complaining in private as to avoid creating any bad rep with the crowd.

When Australia left the Olympic Village, according to people in the IOC dozens of other teams also threaten to leave but kept a low profile about it thinking about how this could backfire in the public support.

Honestly, I don't see any complain creating a bad feeling with Brazilians, most Brazilians do understand who is at fault and likely will see any team complaining as any other. Brazilians are not even interested with these games.

I must say, they do got an eye for opportunity there.

hearing Brazilians here on Reddit it sounds like a crazy way of life where misfortune and crime is just sort of accepted in the cultural consciousness (If I am wrong please forgive me Brazil!).

Sometimes I wonder and hope that our technology goes more towards sensitivity, empathy and compassion for one another and less corrupt and egocentric and power hungry as humans have been throughout history.

Is this normal in Brazil? Thieves come in and steal everything you left behind during a fire drill? In civilized countries, they teach you to drop everything and get out of the building/airplane/area. In Brazil are you supposed to grab all your valuables first?

[–]OrSpeeder 69ポイント70ポイント  (1子コメント)

I am from Brazil.

I talked once with some firemen, about the problem related to the floodings, every year, strong rainfall in some ilegally built areas result in "house-slides", as houses slide downhill along with the hill itself of course.

One of the biggest problem, is that when they know one landslide will happen, and they warn the population, they refuse to leave their homes, fearing they will be looted, this mean that every time a landslide happen, lots of people die, because they had refused to leave, trying to guard their home from looters, this greatly upset the fire department (and related departments), and they keep trying to find a solution, but they can't.

Also overall the police doesn't work (I even had more than one attempt of call the police emergency number fail completely, with the call never connecting, or when it does, they flat out refuse to help), so if you must act on your own for most part (for example, rich people build citadels, private towns with walls, armed guards, private roads, schools, and other privately-built infrastructure, the biggest one is "Alphaville" in Barueri)

Brazilian here. If you are ever involved in a car accident here and needs some kind of rescue, you can count on the fact that your shit inside the car and on yourself will get stolen by the time you are at the hospital.

[–]n0ahbody🇨🇦 Canada 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

Wait, you said the stuff you have on you, like stuff in your pockets, will get stolen. So you mean the paramedics and the cops are robbing you before saving you?

[–]NormalUse 38ポイント39ポイント  (2子コメント)

The cops and medics take quite a while to get wherever you are (unless its a major road or inside a major city), so its usually just the people around that will reach and take whatever is valuable, usually your wallet, watch and stuff like that. It is known that cops do it all the time too, paramedics not so much, never even heard of it. Dont even think for a moment that this happens due to extreme poverty and those oh so destitute people are stealing because they are so uncared for. This is the wrong idea. They steal because its there, and that exactly what happened to the australian athletes too. This is a cultural brazilian thing.

I went to Cuba once. It's not violent there, but they're all thieves. You can't leave anything. If you put a half finished can of Coke down beside you on a bench, while you're taking a photo of something, by the time you've finished taking the photo, the can is gone. But Cubans are poor. They have nothing and no way to earn money. It's kind of understandable.

It sounds like Brazil is like that, except with a lot of violence on top of the rampant theft.

[–]Fenrir007 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Pretty much, yeah. If you ever come to Brazil, you have to keep imagining that you are marked to be robbed as soon as you relax your guard so you might stay on your toes during the whole trip.

[–]mvieowehs 21ポイント22ポイント  (2子コメント)

Is this normal in Brazil?

Yup, perfectly normal. Petty crime like this is rampant. You can't let your guard down for even a moment, even in the "good" areas of Rio.

[–]n0ahbody🇨🇦 Canada 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

But if you're supposed to grab everything before escaping, what if it's a real fire? People are going to die of smoke inhalation.

[–]Robwyll🇩🇪 Germany 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

youre not supposed to grab anything when the fire alarm sounds. you just have to accept that it will probably not be there when you get back.

You cant win.

[–]PissPuddle 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Although petty crimes are rampant, this is likely the work of organized gangs that specializes in this kind of crime, even infiltrating events to facilitate their work.

Since Brazilian law is really lenient, small crimes are overlooked upon and the borders are open, criminals can invest their time in the country to feed neighboring countries, moving from cities to cities, and even if arrested they are free shortly after.

In São Paulo, there are peruvian gangs that specializes in stealing cellphones in music shows by pickpocket, then they send the devices to Paraguay.

Likely there's a gang working in Rio, likely with security involvement.

However, this is the committee fault, one of the companies they hired for security just gave up days before the events and the other companies are being questioned, likely because of corruption in the contracts.

For a moment I thought that the title was a joke. Then I watched the clip. Unreal.

[–]Maurynna368🇺🇸 United States 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

The more I hear about what conditions are like in Rio, the more I realize that while there may be some things that are pretty fucked up in the US, it could be so, so much worse.

Is http://www.snappytv.com/tc/2484855/1283262 redirecting to Twitter?

The link is still loading the video for me.

[–]MarioneTTe-Doll 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, clicking the link just redirects me to the link I posted. Even doing a copy / paste and going to it directly does a silent redirect to the Twitter post.

Fuck the Olympics, I won't be watching, not because the athletes aren't any good - I'm saddened by the bullshit all athletes have to put up with in Brazil. Fucking IOC needs to wake up and set some standards

[–]YourNewInternetPal 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

The IOC should probably not give much consideration to a sales pitch when it includes an undertaking to remove human shit and corpses from the waters in which athletes will compete. A functioning sewage system would be a nice criterion to add.

[–]PurpleHorizonRed 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bets on the perpetrators starting the fire to evacuate the rooms so they could go in and rob the place?

[–]theshadowfax 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Double or nothing bets on the perpetrators being the contractors that were hired to go in and fix their previously subpar construction work?

There'll be so much theft during these olympics. :-| All those clueless, yet rich-enough-to-visit-the-fucking-Olympics people entering the Olympic village must seem like a money train to thieves.
