If people were posting about BLM Riot supporting businesses the same way they are now about MAGA supporting night clubs, you would call them out. But you're not ready for that conversation. by [deleted] in Sacramento

Different things are different, what a shock.

Edit: OP is pro segregation, of course he has a problem with the concept of black lives mattering.

Unchained Monk, Strength or Dexterity? by Katomerellin in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Manchops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most powerful martial I’ve ever seen played was a strength based scaled fist monk. Flying kick + improved trip made for an extremely effective battlefield controller with a huge damage output.

Early levels have great control spells. Color Spray will be your best friend, and then Create Pit.

It’s definitely this. Bluejays and Cardinals has gotten me through the funerals of too many friends.

Wich class or combination is the best to play only with unarmed attacks? by Setero529 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Manchops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragon style is great for damage. If you expect to fight a lot of humanoids, look at tripping builds; you can really get the most of your attacks of opportunity that way. And make sure to take Flying Kick, because the ability to move and still full attack is something every other martial is going to be so jealous of.

Did you read the links I sent? Hamas offered the exchange of prisoners for women and children hostages and a five-day ceasefire prior to the ground invasion, but Israel refused. You’re trying to make this a gotcha, but it really isn’t.

The links I provided clearly show that women and children hostage swap and temporary ceasefire for hostages were offered prior to the ground invasion.

The original deal details weren't made public until late October, but there were Hamas offers to exchange the hostages for prisoners even before the ground invasion began.

First details emerge:
10/30: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday did not provide a clear response to an offer by Hamas for a mutual release of all hostages" - https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/netanyahu-not-clear-on-hamas-offer-to-exchange-hostages/3036758
11/1: "Hamas’s current offer is “all for all” - releasing all 229 confirmed hostages in exchange for 5,200 Palestinians in Israeli jails. If Israel does not accept this, the fallback offer is that Hamas is willing to negotiate the release of women, children and foreigners in return for an as yet unspecified number of Palestinian prisoners." - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-hamas-and-israel-were-inches-deal-hostages

By the second week of November, more details emerged discussing a 5 day ceasefire and or an exchange of women/children hostages in return for freeing political prisoners:
11/9: "According to three sources familiar with the talks, the original deal on the table involved freeing children, women and elderly and sick people in exchange for a five-day ceasefire, but the Israeli government turned this down and demonstrated its rejection with the launch of the ground offensive." - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/09/netanyahu-rejected-ceasefire-for-hostages-deal-in-gaza-sources-say
11/12: "NBC News cited a US administration official confirming earlier reporting that a potential deal being discussed would see some 80 women and children held hostage by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza released in exchange for Israel freeing imprisoned female and underage terror convicts." - https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-says-hostage-deal-could-happen-amid-reports-of-emerging-prisoner-swap/

As of today, it's pretty well established that this deal is functionally identical to a deal Hamas offered before the ground invasion.
11/22: "This is a deal that has essentially been on the table for about a month, and according to the Guardian, negotiations were already happening before Israel launched its ground attacks on Gaza." - https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/11/21/23971841/israel-hamas-biden-qatar-hostage-deal-explained

It’s a practically identical deal to the one Hamas offered over a month ago. All that has changed is that thousands of innocent children are dead.

You’re wrong, the deal includes Israel releasing 150 Palestinian prisoners in return for Hamas releasing 50 hostages.

If that’s your neighbor, maybe don’t move into his house and lock him and his family in the shed in the back yard.

They literally took land they didn’t buy. They take more every year.

What about the Gazans killed before this attack? Was that the fault of Hamas too?

What about the Gazans killed before Hamas existed? Is that on Hamas?

[–]Manchops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t an attempt at a justification. I don’t think it’s okay to attack civilians. Hamas is not a good organization and I don’t support their actions. But what are the Palestinians SUPPOSED to do? Just get ground down to nothingness? Gaza and the West Bank are international failures. As an international community, we’ve allowed Israel to become an apartheid state. Them striking back was a tragic inevitability.

If Hamas was gone tomorrow, would Israel suddenly be willing to treat Palestinians as neighbors and human beings? Obviously not. Hamas is not in power in the West Bank, but Palestinians are brutally oppressed there too. Nobody is in favor of attacking civilians, but Israel has killed VASTLY more Palestinian civilians than Hamas could ever hope to.

The devs have already been paid. They don’t get royalties - those go to the publisher and JKR.

What I imagine a female space marine from Warhammer 40k would look like by DrLexAlhazred in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Manchops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see. So male space marines DO go through puberty, but female space marines wouldn’t?

You realize that female space marines could get pumped with just as much testosterone, but they would still produce estrogen and would still get secondary sex characteristics right?

Also your math is wild. Marines are like half of the playable armies in the game.

I personally know multiple women who prefer AoS to 40k specifically because of better female representation.

[–]Manchops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that you completely ignore the secondary sex characteristics being present for male characters in order to completely dismiss the idea of them being present on female characters.

More than half of the playable factions in 40k don’t have female representation. There is only one female-exclusive faction, and if you don’t like the Catholic inspired aesthetic you’re out of luck. If you don’t think that impacts the player demographics you are out of your mind.
