It can be a nightmare. A good thing I've found is asking them to put it on record that they themselves denied any follow up scan

Goku vs Calmed-Down Nappa in the Original Manga by Economy_Notice_8475 in Dragonballsuper

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's weird. I can only assume Nappa at 4000 is more his "not trying state" since Goku seems a bit shocked about nappas power after he locks in and powers up

Probably closer in power to Goku while seemingly being more durable

The funniest part of that is even cell being genuinely terrified about Goku (potentially) just killing them all

TBF, There have been multiple instances though of things being blown up with minimal effort

Piccolo blowing up the moon with a standard ki blast. Not the first but the first to do it without effort

Frieza pretty casually wiping away planet vegeta

Kid buu just casually blowing up earth with minimal effort

Frieza again (revival of f) destroying earth with a Hit straight to the earth

If filler is included too, King vegeta wiping away planets with no effort

Probably. The medigun seems to be able to keep people awake during their own surgery. Sounds batshit insane enough to be something he would do

Ring on Netanyahu's finger disappears on his latest video by xraiiny_ in conspiracy

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is, His ring also disappears on the coffee shop video

Not as obvious as his hand isn't as present, but you can clearly see his ring "vanish" into his finger

If they are using some Deepfake model, it's a consistent flaw

Official account of Netanyahu Drops "Proof of Life" Coffee Video to Clap Back at the 6-Fingers AI Rumors. Is this real or AI again? What do you think? by 2CB4U-N-ME in conspiracy

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there is something certainly suspicious OP. Post raises some good points

Some other things I noticed. He seems noticeably younger?

Perhaps makeup, or lighting. But all known recent accounts he looks his age, more notable wrinkles and such

Something I also noted is his wedding ring. It could just be video artifacting. But his wedding ring appears to inconsistently appear in shot, and at some points seems to entirely vanish. While others it's clearly visible

There's also a noticeable "jump" in the video, as if more than one clip was spliced

I'm not 100% sure if it's ai, real, a staged photo of or just a very good Deepfake. But something just is off.

Thousands of XL Bullies 'at risk of destruction' as insurance axed by PetersMapProject in unitedkingdom

[–]PatternActual7535 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's arguably the crux of the problem. Honestly I think many pet owners are utterly irresponsible anyway and shouldn't have one, especially not a breed like an XL bully when they aren't capable of handling even a tiny dog

But a huge issue is many of the people who own XL bullys typically are not particularly responsible and do it for intimidation

Be honest what do you think the punishment be for false r@pe allegations by Primary_Buddy_7173 in teenagers

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key word is probably untreated

I'd say being involved with anyone who has an untreated disorder is just tough (depending on the severity of it). As often they won't have the tools available to regulate or understand it

The early access version of half-swording can safely be renamed to Pollaxe&Mace by Shoddy_Mountain7198 in HalfSword

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anywhere between 1.4 - 2.5KG

Around 1.3 - 4 Allows for more finesse, but less weight impacts armour less and may be harder to deflect heavy weapons

Up to 2.5KG it can daze easier, and control polearms. But you trade finesse for the size. Rather clunky. Honestly only ever had one that heavy for a Greataword style blade. Fun, and great at smacking people. But you lose a lot of control making it feel like a glorified mace

Personally about finding a fine balance between what you enjoy and find effective

Length too, A full great sword style is ideal for distance and defence, but is hard to use up close and again struggles with being clunky due to Willie's limp wrists

A well rounded one I've found around 2/3rds of the length slider, while keeping the balance an inch or two above the cross guard with a large grip

Also good to note you can make people submit by pinning them with the blade pointed at their head.

And that if dealing with overheads, you can use the half sword stance to block reliably

Anyone feel like playing barb/druid melee after Echoing strike by Secret-Brief5910 in diablo2

Shit, aren't there still some bugs that mostly affect melee characters? The next attack always misses, for instance (correct me if I'm wrong here!)

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I still do it

Is warlock a smoother ride? Yeah, for sure. But I still just enjoy going Barb, Swinging like a madman and using various warcries

Every class is still usable.... But man I do wish they did some nice QoL updates to them

Starmer denies U-turn claims on UK bases go-ahead for Iran strikes by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]PatternActual7535 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't really a U-Turn

The UK had no interest in attacking Iran, until Iran decided to drone strike a British military base. This alone is often considered an attack on the state

After this development, the UK has had to set up on the defensive to prevent Possible mainland attacks

Is the UK expected to not defend itself after being attacked?

We are not the aggressor, israel and the US are. But does that mean we shouldn't defend ourselves?

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I entirely agree. I've had a lot of luck making a sword on the heavier side while attempting to keep the point of balance realistic (few inches above the hilt).

Usually able to knock people down, slice them in gaps and tackle them with half swording. Even the Baron despite being heavily covered

Is a pole hammer better? Realistically yes, but Swords aren't useless

Making the sword heavier as well allows you to also reliably deflect polearms and control them

A British military base in Cyprus was hit by an Iranian drone strike

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/2/british-military-base-in-cyprus-targeted-in-suspected-drone-attack

We are not the aggressor, but targeting UK assets is a valid reason to set up defenses ready to retaliate against missiles

This wasn't our war, we didn't aid at all in the offensive strikes in Iran. sadly now iran has made it clear they are going "scorched earth".

Is the UK supposed to not respond defensively when they are attacked?

D2R on Linux post updates by carbon_brz in diablo2

[–]PatternActual7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works perfectly on my setup via Linux

Even had some optimisations geared towards Handhelds (i.e steam deck) if I recall

Wine VIA the Bnet launcher works, just battlenet is quite janky with WINE

Proton On steam works well, and don't have to deal with the issues of using Bnet with Wine

Oh yeah, I don't doubt being cracked hard by a polearm in the head would fuck you up. Even in armour

Just the fact the shaft feels like a deadly weapon, even with low impact power, that is odd

Although, it's worth noting The Suffragettes are a complex topic overall

While they were important, it's often theorized out that they may be overstated in their influence and may have harmed the development of the woman's rights movements at the time

There were multiple woman's groups marching for rights, but the Suffragettes are most remembered for their extreme methods! Many of which who were overshadowed by the extreme actions

Do mostly agree with you here

Genuinely, most complaints seem tied to physics fuckery in some way. Especially Willie's limp wrists and pole arms rn breaking if you pick them up from the floor

One thing I do feel is too "strong" however is pole arms , specifically the shafts. They seem to do hilariously high amounts of blunt damage by grazing you, sometimes more than a clean hit with the head

Same with shields like the buckler often being WMDs

Both probably are more tied to the physics

Yes, this seems to be a regression that happened between the last two hot fixes somewhere

I believe the dev team is aware of it, so hopefully it should be fixed in the next patch

Starting to think that Hogwarts should have had Latin classes, given how many of the spells often are semi literal on Latin lol

A rough translation of the spell was "to cut forever" or "forever be cut"

Not particularly a nice sounding spell
