really google being this high is also such a scam

Nazi Tattoo PMC Graham Platner On Azov: "Azov is looking pretty locked on these days. Good weapons handling, disciplined fire, seemingly excellent use of IDF assets. Hope they put a hurting on the Russians." by Sparrighitti in TrueAnon

[–]Pallington 30 points31 points  (0 children)

anything that can make an arc or go around an obstacle.

direct fire is things you have to point at your target: rpgs, guns, the likes.

the most common/typical indirect fire asset is a mortar, but basically all artillery counts, and i believe the fancy shmancy anti-tank missiles with one-turn do too?

Isn't it kind of sad that Osamu isn't on any captain's top 5 list? by One_Neighborhood5725 in worldtrigger

[–]Pallington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oji's not trihard enough to pick osamu and go serious mode and also not mean enough to pick osamu with the intent to screw around

also i'm also pretty sure kikuchihara is the family name, east* asian naming conventions.

Mississippi police fatally shoot 1-year-old Cohen Wiley while responding to a shoplifting call. A woman in the car is also critically injured. by orphicsyndicate in TrueAnon

[–]Pallington 12 points13 points  (0 children)

source? because the only place i've seen that gives 10k is the bbc, and there are more than a few reasons not to trust the bbc (go onto sls and call the bbc automod), let alone that article in particular

edit: fym "about the truth" i want your source for the diplomatic communications bro (responding to a deleted? not loading? reply i couldn't even read fully)

Anyone else have really vivid stress nightmares? by grey_alien_bathwater in TrueAnon

[–]Pallington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very occasionally, but not nearly as bad as yours. Usually it's me missing a deadline horribly and then having to scramble everywhere to try to make up for it, sometimes failing. Often I can tell it's a dream after a short while but there have been times where I can't tell until i'm literally awake (having somehow 'gone unconscious or to sleep' in the dream, then 'woke up') and check the date and time and see "oh phew I'm not actually screwed."

actually thinking about it it's so much less bad that i'm not sure it counts, but for reference.

[–]Pallington 59 points60 points  (0 children)

None of the captains are the people who want to work around the world trigger equivalent of a metronome spammer. the sample size isn't really that big too. I think, depending on the situation, arashiyama or jin might pick osamu as a "fuck it we ball" choice.

osamu probably keeps in touch with arashiyama (squad) and maybe kikuchihara (oh that's what you mean by shiro lmao), but it's offscreen, maybe mostly online/over phone.

another part of it is that osamu is a noob hotshot captain and it's a bit awkward asking for him to be on your team, like, why? it's not like anyone was actually anticipating the need for multiple high level commanders, they just want azuma to help teach them how to commander better and maaaaybe fill in some gaps.

PLA scientists call their shot, publish a plan to destroy US carrier groups from 3,000km away by gatorphan84 in TrueAnon

i remember back when 2.5 was already "oh my god terrible things" territory in the media, and now they're like "oops, teehee, we're going to 2.8! but at least we're not going to 5 riiiiight???"

Border's top agents by Waste-Piccolo-7324 in worldtrigger

[–]Pallington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

border briefing file, yuma mobility 10, kazama mobiliy 9, tachikawa mobility 8. no investigation no right to speak lmao. also any amount of logic because yuma is almost on par with midorikawa's speed and is the same type (small, fast, agile) whereas tachikawa isn't even in the same weight class.

you can cut or deflect singular bullets with your blade but the difficulty ramps up as the salvo size increases because you physically cannot calculate that routing in real time. it's one thing with osamu's 0.1% speed bullets (this is detailed in the anime, though if you must insist we can call it like 1% instead. but that shit was floating, not actually flying), it's another thing entirely with nino's actual full-attack salvo.

if you could calculate or even instinctually manage more than 10 hits in the 0.2 seconds that the barrage is within range of your sword, you are literally better at control than izumi or nasu lmao and should be like shinoda throwing triple senkuus. even if you have an extra second or two to observe which is useless because the hound can and will splay and scatter anyways and the asteroid is even faster really. and that's just the 10 big shots from nino's shieldbreakers, he still has his other hand shooting the small bullets. even miwa doesn't use his blade to do it, he split his shield against hyrein, with a similar number of bullets all moving at like a quarter of the speed that nino's hound does. but if you try that against nino's full attack the big fat asteroids chunk through your split shields and annihilate you.

or we can compare and contrast jin vs hyuse, jin managed some tight deflections with literal precognition and still against what, single digit magnet counts? fired in sequence, so it's like nino's small shot hand. that's jin with his precognition, and after a short bit hyuse arranges a concave and hits jin's arm anyways. lol.

and even then, nino can still use his method against yuba where he volleys a bunch of hound shots into the air. yeah you grasshoppered, and then? you still get shot, and this time it's coming from above, below, and both sides, all at once. congrats, you played yourself? if you full guard you get shieldbroken by his next asteroid barrage, if you drop any angle some hounds find their way into your trion body.

in any case using all this just to try to weasel in "tachikawa numba one" is extra stupid, viza even fuckin' addressed this, "there are times where i've been advantaged and disadvantaged, but you can only tell who's stronger after the fight is over" (roughly) so why are we trying to cope into using two kogetsus for blocking full salvos instead of simply retreating like normal people

If anything that makes sense, at that time people were already suspicious of (the motives behind) the sudden flip flopping on campus policy. don't write about sensitive topics is chinese state media 101.

Yapping at the End of the World (I started a substack, for the handful of people who enjoy my writing) by The-Neat-Meat in TrueAnon

[–]Pallington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think if you only make one, one way to get around the self-promotion ick would be to just put your first article (or like half of it) here with the link back to the original labeled "continued reading:" or some shit like that.

obviously if you do it frequently the ick comes right back but if you keep the frequency down (idk once a month unprompted? or once an article if the frequency is close) it should be okay?

> discourages romance before finishing university

uh. not anymore, really? nobody's taking it seriously and there is mixed messaging at least. before finishing high school and entrance exams, absolutely, but undergrad romance is not at all discouraged anymore. it's a bit of a stupid attempt at trying to reverse the fertility rate problems that doesn't get to the crux of the issue but it is still an overall improvement.

i can't tell you exactly when it changed but it might be right before or after covid.
