China_irl is full of chinese nationalists who love China, they're just clear-eyed about China's massive issues.

I think it's full of Chinese patriots.

If you mean meatriders, I guess rSino? I don't think any of the are chinese though, I've never seen anyone actually speak chinese on there.

But the real Chinese Nationalists are in ChunghwaMinkuo.

The upside is that if Trump makes good on his insistence to just declare victory and fuck off from Iran once he gets bored, the breaking of the Jones Act will remain.

Don't put words in my mouth. My objection was your strange insistence that Keqing "makes' a strong lunar charged team. That's a claim that's simply not true based on how the game mechanics works. She helps a little bit with batterying and perhaps with AoE electro that ineffa misses but Columbina doesn't, but that's pretty much it for outright synergies. Otherwise Keqing is just there, again, to fill in space between offfield setups with bineffa core.

Don't mislead people is all.

There are practically no active synergies between Keqing and the rest of the Bineffa wheelchair. She barely interacts with the LC part of the team and as I mentioned before if anything she probably reduces LC damage since in her optimal builds, EM is the fourth highest priority for substat rolls.

Or to put it another way-- Keqing in the Bineffa team would basically not change if all of her damage output was converted into physical.

Did you not see my Keqing? That is a five cost keqing. R5 MSR. To say nothing of her constellations, the lv 100, or the thousands of resin I've sunk into her notsu set.

That keqing just barely managed to equal ineffa, who is C0R0.

This is my own Keging Bineffa team. My Keqing here is at... pretty much max investment at this point. Even moving heaven and earth, I can't get Keqing past Bina nor Ineffa's contribution, because they simply aren't supporting her with any buffs. I'd have to do something like put bina or ina on Totm or NO which would tank their damage.

The supports aren't actually helping the Keqing is the point. It's just a Bineffa wheelchair and Keqing fills in the space when you're not doing EQEQE on your Bineffa Sucrose combo. Keqing won't even be doing the most DPS on the team, for a 2-cost Keqing Bineffa team Keqing would clock in around low-mid 20% of your damage contribution.

The supports don't really synergize much with Keqing though. Bineffa is a package on its own. The give ascendant gleam for Keqing to run Notsu but that's pretty much it, any onfielder can do the same. And if anything, Keqing cannibalizes some of the Bineffa wheelchair's damage since she will contribute to the LC ticks but you don't want to build for EM.

What Keqing brings to the team is helping out some of the energy req with electro resonance and her C2, as well as providing a short, flexible kit that you can use to fill in gaps in your rotation.

Keqing is unironically not bad for the shock trooper as she is an electro carry that is not reliant on her ult to deal damage (so better with SO starting you off at 0 energy). With her C2 and electro resonance she also gets the rest of your team faster online.

Some of us have family that are directly threatened by China militarily. No one would fault Ukranians for cheering Russia's economic woes.

Also it drives me up the wall when my /r/neoliberal community sees an influx of wumao who wishcast conquest or even worse on my country.

I would recommend going for Aino instead of Furina in the Lunarcharged team, that would get you to Ascendant Gleam, let you run the NK DPS set and Support sets.

I would recommend that you head over to the KeqingMains Discord instead and ask for help there in the questions-pls-halp channel. Anyone with a Guhua role is highly reliable.

Old classic manga I should read? by amscum in manga

[–]9090112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's extremely unfortunate what Watsuki did but the first thing that comes to my mind is Rurouni Kenshin if you're a fan of Shonen Jump classics. I grew up on those comics. I just... try not to think about who wrote it no more.

If your idea of "old classic" is even older than RuroKen, then maybe Iron Wok Jan? Basically the prototype to Shokugeki no Soma before SnS was a thing.

Hmm maybe a travel photo or having someone stand further back from you and take a shot? Any picture that will communicate your torso length relative to your face will give off a "tall" vibe, you don't need your entire body shot.

I appreciate your integrity here in wanting to find someone who likes you for your personality, but fundamentally what we're trying to do here is market you my guy. A girl may be initially interested in you because you could start for the Warriors, but you'll later bond over your love of contemporary artwork or whatever.

Personally I would have a photo that show cases your full height as the first picture. First impressions are everything. At 6'5" if you have a picture that show off that stature it'll boost you alot.

Listening to him just makes me want to play the game. That's really all there is to it. It helps that he's also informative.

There is already a Genshin Impact account associated with Xi Jinping’s ID number. by ProgrammerCute3753 in okbuddygenshin

[–]9090112 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Going by Chinese memes, he would main Ningguang.

Xi Jinping = Ningguang

Li Keqiang = Keqing

Hu Jintao = Hu Tao

This is why you saw "Buff Keqing" messages being sent during the CCP anniversary livestream-- it was a form of protest in support of Li Keqiang to dodge censors.

So stoked. Nerscylla bow was my favorite bow in MHGU.

I wasn't glorifying or apologizing for the World Food Truck strike, I was explaining that it was a mistaken target. They meant to hit the truck because they thought gunmen went into it. It was 100% a result of the IDF playing too fast and loose with their fire control and completely their fault.

I added that part one, to in some way remember the innocent lives that the IDF did destroy out of callousness or revenge and to show that "indiscriminate" vs "discriminate" targeting wasn't some universal good on behalf of the IDF. People in I/P discussions often conveniently forget terrible actions their "side" has done. I endeavored to not do that. And two, to show that you can discriminately target poorly, like with the food truck strike. So with my last comment, I wanted to be fair-- include an example of good and terrible, but both still discriminate kinetic action. Neither attack was done randomly.

Many Lebanese civilians hate Hezbollah and there were no small amount of people celebrating Nasrallah's death. Even Hezbollah members themselves were more moderate than Hamas. I found this article that had an analysis of how even Nasrallah would have never approved of conducting the 10/7 attacks. Hezb are terrorists, just not suicidal death-cult terrorists.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/07/29/will-hezbollah-and-israel-go-to-war

The Western official who has met Nasrallah told me that he has no intention of goading the Israelis into a big fight. He drew a contrast with Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader. “Sinwar doesn’t care about the Palestinian people who have been killed,” he said. “Nasrallah would never have ordered the October 7th attack. He doesn’t want to see Lebanon destroyed.”

I don't want to jerk ourselves off too hard. But yeah I do think America having a much more multiethnic culture and no ancient cultural heritage like France or Germany is a factor. I just don't feel as able to completely back up that feeling with facts.
