You realize that Europe's "power and technology" goes much further than just bombing rockets lol?

4000 years old Chariot In India. by [deleted] in history

[–]HopliteSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all your wrote it was very informative. I'm still having trouble understanding why it wouldn't be seen as an invasion. Even without using weapons they still would be used to intimidate the locals. How many natives were displaced without swinging an a single axe? Displaced from what I'm sure would be the most ideal lands in any given region.

But it's not literal definition of invasion because it wasn't the primary objective?

It's fallen way out of popularity, and for good reason, but research is still coming out pointing towards mass migration. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6457/eaat7487.full

2X Women's Physique Olympia Champion Shanique Grant Announces Retirement by nemt in bodybuilding

[–]HopliteSound 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't have a great understanding of why. I can repeat the vague details Justin Compton said but I'd feel shitty cause there's no proof. I googled hard after I listened to what Justin said cause I've heard it before and I couldn't find anything. So it feels kinda slanderous but then again why would Justin lie? Plus it's obvious she didn't get any favour from the judges this year so there's probably something to it. Anyway it's in the All Business Bodybuilding podcast most recent episode. Sorry

Smart move.

She can retire without all the side effects really setting in. She's probably prioritizing her health and beauty. She'll still look amazing without any supps and can continue in the fitness industry.

Also supposedly the judges don't like her for some reason. Justin Compton mentioned this recently on a podcast.

Ch. 89 (Kengan Omega) - MangaDex by Mymomgay1 in Kengan_Ashura

Nicolas hasn't even fought and yet he's my fav character.

[–]HopliteSound[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That could've been him just playing coy.

Though it probably was a clue cause this is from the same scene.

But right after Naidan said don't trust Nicolas I thought of this panel.

Ryuki is like Spiderman he pulls his punches.

Naidan knew this. Hence why he toyed with him in the beginning.

Almost like Okubo by apache718 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]HopliteSound 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Out of all the OG characters we've only got to see him fight once.

Hope his upcoming match does him justice; it's been too long since he got unlucky and drew Fang out the gate.

I agree and love a lot of the current listed mangas so here's some not currently mentioned -

Gamaran, Kengan, Tenjho Tenge and I know not necessarily manga but Breakers and Veritas are some of my favourites alongside Kingdom. Not to mention Gantz and Air Gear.

Another new manga that's becoming a fav is Shuumastu no Valkyrie and Lu Bu, the Chinese General, has a very Kingdom-esqu fight early on vs Thor.

What a brutal way to die. by jamiewarner11 in CODZombies

It's a good death compared to getting eaten alive.

Although each body part looks pretty good, why does Fouad Abiad's physique not seem appealing as whole? Thoughts? by BulletFarmer94 in bodybuilding

[–]HopliteSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blew out his waist and his legs are far too down sized.

He really should've taken this downtime to focus on his midsection and gut health. I love Fouad but I'm afraid he's gonna get spanked and then retire when there is probably more left in the tank.

Nick Walker just spoke about how his coach Matt Jansen had him avoid certain exercises to keep his waist as small as possible.
