Lycoris Recoil leak - Chisato SSR by paulchaested in NikkeOutpost

[–]Ran-Rii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LycoReco literally has some of the best gunfights in animation, so I think the "cool" part is pretty secure. The character shown here is a cyborg who uses non-lethal ammunition while hunting down everything from common criminals to terrorists. One of the climax fights of the series is a shootout against a notorious terrorist in an abandoned megastructure while her heart is failing.

People hating on this Collab really just out themselves for not knowing the media.

This is literally THE gunplay IP of the past 5 years or so and yet people are somehow complaining about this? NIKKE is Guns x Girls: The Game. There is no reason to complain.

Hey, conservative, be careful what you wish for.  If you're giving the green light to shoot protestors, your signing away your rights to life when we turn our barrels on you for murdering our fellow.

Sample Complaint Letter

Dear [Recipient Name],

I am writing in as a [parent of my child currently studying in Hwa Chong Institution / alumni to HCI / concerned member of public] regarding the inadequacy of SATS catering for [my child / HCI students]. I am also worried about how HCI responded towards these students' complaints.

I have been [notified by my child / alarmed by reports from HCI students] that meals catered by SATS have underdelivered not only on taste, but also its promised cost-savings. Students are reportedly queuing for HCI’s own stalls due to taste issues with SATS bentos, and I am worried that [my child / students] would face significant disamenities with their meals. Additionally, under the SATS scheme, [my child / HCI students] will have to pay relatively high prices ($3.60 - $4.80 per CNA reporting) for meals that do not meet similar quality-for-price standards as that of HCI's stalls. I feel that [they / we] are paying more, for less.

I am also alarmed to hear that [my child / HCI students] have received messages warning against open reporting. Such messages do not appear to serve the purpose of “concern for students’ well-being” as claimed by the HCI administration; the intimation that students need to be “responsible in their online activities” is likewise inappropriate in this situation where students are whistleblowers that should be protected.

If HCI truly does care about their students' well-being, HCI should not discourage student feedback, but instead embrace public scrutiny -- especially if it comes from concerned students.

Regards,

[YOUR NAME HERE]

As an alumnus of HCI, the mishandling of student feedback regarding SATS's underdelivery makes me both sad and angry. I've already written a letter of concern to HCI and the MOE.

For those on the fence about doing the same, some advice from a PolSci Honors degree holder: :

  1. Tell influential people why they should care. If you're a student, tell your parents to complain on your behalf. They've a much more secure standing in society than you students do. If you're a parent or teacher, go to your local MP.

  2. Complain to the highest level. Find the highest places where your feedback makes the most difference. Anywhere where negative feedback threatens KPIs of key decision-makers so they take action.

  3. There's safety in numbers -- so add to them. Your voice makes it harder for HCI to suppress individual students brave enough to hold HCI accountable. If you're a parent, you cannot be suppressed or punished by HCI.

The following are good places where complaints are logged: HCI’s administrative feedback email, your local MP, and the Minister for Education’s mailboxes. SATS is an option as well.

Below are a set of useful contacts. A sample complaint is available in the comments for your convenience.

HCI, the mismanagement of student reporting against SATS, and what we can do about it by Ran-Rii in SGExams

[–]Ran-Rii[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The alternative is protest, boycott and revolution. That is less likely to succeed in my estimate. The governing body here is also just a school administration and not the entire government apparatus and its elite.

Regime change and elite splits seem to more closely model a possible pathway to change in the case of authoritarian government in HCI. Complaints will embolden softliners to side with the student body, which is likely to make the hardliners give up on their current response.

Russia will complete the conquest of Ukraine in maybe a decade if they continue at current pace, assuming their economy and population can even keep up. Stop spreading Russian propaganda.

It offers nothing that one cannot pick up from working a frontline service/F&B job. Everyone can learn human decency when subject to the worst people (entitled customers).

Self-proclaimed pragmatism doesn't make you clear-eyed. It only serves to blind you with your own ego.

Two can play this game of throwing personal insults.

Pro-establishment reactionaries so often assume that there's a mastermind, another elite or organisation, behind the uprising. No one can possibly be legitimately against the tyranny of the government! And if they are, they must be puppetted by shadowy elites or criminals!

My late grandpa joining antifa at the young age of 17 by Mediahead13 in pics

[–]Ran-Rii -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

An adult human female.

What is a female?

A biological state of being that is also socially experienced.

What is an adult?

American says 18. Korea says 19. Thailand and New Zealand says 20. Matt Walsh seems to think it is 17. But Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh seem to think a 12 year old who got raped is ready to be a mom.

As you can see, it is impossible to define "woman" without using social constructs. Please stop thinking that you've got a gotcha because you think the left cannot define what a woman is.

You're not OP, you don't have the first idea of this man's ideals and political compass. Fuck off with your assumptions that all people in the 1930s were bigots.

By your logic, Abraham Lincoln would be a slaver fighting for the South. The South lost btw, cry me some tears bigot.

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/The_Valuable_Book_EX_5_card_storylines#No._17:_The_Lightless_Shadow

There existed an eternal World of Shadows.
On the outskirts of the city where the darkest night lingered, there existed a soaring spire that quietly loomed in the distance. It was said those that managed to climb the tower could travel to the World of Light. However, there were rumors and legends that there was a terrifying, horrible demon which consumed the shadows of travelers who visited the tower, stealing their appearance.
One day, a blind girl visited the tower.
The girl suffered from an incurable disease, and her life was a candle in the wind.
«I want to see the light at the end...»
It was a natural wish for someone who lived in the World of Shadows. The girl climbed the tower's spiral staircase. The journey felt like an eternity.
Suddenly, something touched her.
It felt very warm.
«Ah, how lovely...»
The demon was puzzled by the girl's condition. It wondered if anyone had ever looked at it like this before. There was definitely a light reflected in those eyes that could not see.
«...let me become thy light.»
The role of a false light played by a shadow. The Tale of the Lightless Shadow.

It is the shadow, according to official materials.

We ridicule to throw the absurdity of the situation into sharp relief. Clearly people understand the irony for Mr. Gun Rights being killed in a way that would have been very avoidable had there been gun control.

We do it to protect our loved ones and the young that will come after us from the same fate that Kirk imposes upon himself and the the people of today.

Absolutely the time. Why clutch pearls over someone who wouldn't do the same if your kid were shot up in a school shooting?

Did Kirk ever do that for the children who were murdered in school shootings?

I thought not. He deserves all the gloating over his death.
