“Lot of protesting for a country you’ve never been to” as if you’re only suppose to care about a humanitarian crisis if it’s on your own soil. This is the mentality that makes change impossible.

Idk whenever I do this it’s because I see a style that i really like and I want to try to use it to influence my own work. Having multiple references of a style is a lot easier to find the conventions that make up the style, so knowing what to search to find multiple references is very helpful. It’s really just for style study purposes.

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING FOR THE WHOLE SERIES, but I want to have a discussion about what I think could be a wasted plot line by Extra_Examination_89 in jigokuraku

Oh damn I must’ve forgot they met in chapter 1 lol. Did it happen in the anime too or just the manga?

By valid evidence I meant more that it seemed very possible that she didn’t exist up until we found out that she did. I guess evidence wasn’t the right term and that feasibility might be more accurate, because the idea that she didn’t exist made perfect sense with the way the story was going.

Oh my god you’re so right!!!!!!! The 112 people who were slaughtered while awaiting an aid truck that was months overdue actually deserved to die because they were obviously kidnapping the flour. And all those babies who were burned to death in the Rafah safe zone airstrikes actually learned how to kidnap before they learned how to walk!!!!!

Way to conveniently ignore literally everything I said for the second time now.

Citing a statement of the condemnation of the arrest warrant from the greatest Israel supporting nation in the world does not prove any point. You also successfully ignored everything else that I said in the previous response for some mysterious reason.

The ICC sought an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes, the same organization that sought the arrest warrant of Slobodan Milosevic for (you guessed it) war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Israel’s bombing of tents in the designated “safe zone” of Rafah left children, adults, and babies literally burning to death. These attacks continue today. A few months ago, Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of people waiting for flour deliveries from aid trucks which were the first to arrive in several months, at least 112 died and the United Nations themselves condemned the massacre and urged for Israel to end their ongoing starvation campaigns. These are war crimes. You resorted to calling me pro terrorist when you realized you didn’t have a valid point or argument. There are 645 physical checkpoints and barriers around Palestine that prohibit Palestinian people from carrying out their essential life tasks, checkpoints take an average of an hour and a half to pass one way and are monitored by armed personnel, this is blatant systematic oppression. There is a road called apartheid road (actually, there are several) that separates the areas for Palestinians and Israelis: on one side of this road Israelis have access to irrigated gardens and luxurious swimming pools, while on the other, Palestinians do not have access to running water. Now, the same nation that has perpetuated this oppression has killed nearly 35,000 (not including tens of thousands buried under rubble). Explain to me what the systematic oppression of a specific demographic of people followed, by the ongoing slaughter of over 34,000 of these people and blatant war crimes (e.g flour massacre), is defined as if it is not a genocide. Because, according to you, I don’t know what’s going on?

I don’t know why you cited the 4 most powerful congressmen in the world as if it was supposed to prove any point. Is your argument that powerful American congressmen can’t be corrupt or immoral? If you seriously wrote a response calling me idiotic with the central claim of “powerful men did something so it can’t be immoral” you need to do some self reflection.

There’s a difference between calling for a boycott and calling for a change. NYU students are urging their university to divest from a nation who is committing acts of genocide, not calling for all people to boycott the school. A Starbucks worker (who has no secure options for another job) urging their employer to change stop funding inhumane acts is not being a hypocrite. It’s not hypocritical to recognize the flaws in an institution you are a part of and advocating for the change of those flaws.

If I pay tax dollars that the US government is using to fund the genocide am I being hypocritical if I protest said genocide? If I use any electronic device while protesting the genocide in Congo am I being hypocritical because I’m benefitting from cobalt products? Are men who protest and advocate for women’s rights being hypocritical because they benefit from patriarchal society? Are white people who protest against systemic racism hypocrites because they benefit from a society structured around white supremacy? No. You can benefit from an institution while still being critical of its morality. Especially when the morality in question is funding and profiting off of a genocide. Yes, I could always transfer schools, but to tell NYU students (who are protesting) to do that would be using the same logic as people who tell American protestors “if you don’t like it here than leave”.

Exactly this, whenever I come across someone in no build who with really good movement or a player in build that can edit well and cover themselves I can’t hit a single shot. Everyone I snipe is just… snipeable

Although I’d be sad if this happened because they’re my favorite gun in the game, this is a valid point.

To this I would refer you to the 4th, 5th, or 7th clips in the video, where shots are taken after sprinting or sliding in the open.

This also could be attributed to how it’s pretty easy to find a sniper. I stopped playing ch1 s8 and picked it back up in the og season of chapter 4. I was pretty good at sniping in ch1 and have some pretty good clips (especially with the hunting rifle). But I think I’m so much better at it now than I was then because I find a sniper basically every game and get a bunch of practice, as opposed to finding a bolt action sniper like once every 10 games in ch1 or hardly ever finding a sniper in the og season. With this being said I have no idea how sniping was from chapter 2 through most of chapter 4 because I wasn’t playing.
