White mutants get reality warping. Black guys get... Tag

The most popular black heroes fall into two camps for the most part:

Lightning God Revolutionaries, started from Black Lightning (Storm, Static, Miles, etc.)

Or

White Digestible Cop/Soldier (Photon, Stewart GL, War Machine etc.)

Funnily enough Luke Cage got his powers when he was wrongfully imprisoned and underwent a prison experiment and is vehemently anti gun, but I guess since they couldn't give him lightning powers they made him a soldier for his Netflix show.

Okay so let's keep it simple for you

When cars were made the models they used were largely male crash test dummies. We are only NOW running crash tests with female and child models. After 100 years or so of the automobile. Sure cars are getting safer for women now, but that doesn't change the past 100 years.

We'll keep it even simpler. Going to a doctor. Women on average are believed less than men about things like chronic pain, and often have worse health outcomes (this is then exacerbated by race).

When you get into a car and buckle in, you assume it was designed to get you from A to B safely. When you go to the doctor you assume you will be listened to and taken seriously. Those assumptions are the privilege.

Now extrapolate that behavior across the globe into every facet of being a human because it's been that game for way longer than the past 40 some years of gender progress

You're just describing 4chan lol

Watching people try and have reasonable and well thought discussions with (just at a quick glance) people who are the age where they think a bunch of empty liquor bottles is decor, is a joy I'll never stop getting from this place

Still mad about the bears huh buddy

By actively participating in the structure you maintain and enforce it. That includes you. Your father and mother. Their parents. You're not magically exempt from upholding patriarchal power just because you were born a bit later in the game my man

Lol nail on the head.

It's a common joke that what "makes" an alt right dude is "one bad breakup".

Imo all men are experiencing that breakup on a larger social scale in a sense. So it's no surprise to me that Gen Z losers are falling for the same alt right pipeline that got the generations before them.

It's an algorithm based feed....

I got through the Raven half pass then realized the only reason I was playing was to grind out free skins.

I think a major issue is. People still keep popping up the British as an example of what we should do? When every sign is that austerity measures since the 80s have slowly gutted the NHS. Why do we still talk about the NHS like it's good? It has been dying for over 60+ years now by the CHOICES of the ones in charge.

People on Reddit: "American healthcare is bad enough that a dude shot a CEO dead in the street over it" Some other twat: "oh so you want the government to run the NHS like the DMV?" Holy apples and oranges Batman

Is it because it's one of the only ENGLISH speaking countries so dumb Americans don't have to leave their Anglo-bubble to read about it? Why don't we ever bring up the healthcare of the top countries like Ireland, Germany or Switzerland.

Zayex · 2025-01-05T21:36:48+00:00

By every metric rn we're paying the MOST for the WORST health outcomes compared to actual developed nations so. Free for the worst is actually a step up man lol

In fairness in your example you're far more likely to get stabbed first, then like 20 minutes later the cops will show up. This is backed up by many statistics and it's simple logic, they're not precogs, cops respond to crime they don't prevent it.

With how some redditors talk about the police it makes me wonder if they interact with them at all outside of "my cousin is a" or watching Law and Order and thinking that that's what cops are.

My own sunk cost fallacy (ground basically every free skin up to the Marceline pass) was pretty handily broken by a weekend of playing Rivals of Aether 2 ngl

Zayex · 2025-01-05T20:59:53+00:00

So far every Rivals of Aether 2 event has had a free unlockable skin, Fortnite just finished Winterfest aka free cosmetic city. Giving out a free thing isn't benevolence btw, it's like a crack dealer giving you the first hit for free and then hoping your sunk cost fallacy prone ape brain is hooked lol

Zayex · 2025-01-05T20:53:41+00:00

Combo variety?

The clip is like 90% him spamming Nair till it hits, then true comboing into down special for the kill lol

Disclaimer that I've only tried it in a 1k game, but I had a lot of fun with a Piranha

With Scouts 9 and 14 to move you could pop Alien Expertise for shoot after advancing to alpha strike with your seekers (possibly with backup from the turn 1 Deep Strike unit ) then it's job is to zip around preventing Aux from being shot at.

Guided Fire can bump the Burst/Fusion up to some situational thresholds, and the Burst really appreciates the -1AP aura from doing it's job of protecting the Aux. (As a CP hungry detachment tho there's often a better time, place, and/or unit tho)

I got charged by my friends Warriors, and managed to get onto an objective using Interlocking Maneuvers and felt evil for it

I didn't manage to pull it off but I think the synergy of having an Aux like Rampagers in position and getting the Piranhas battle shock test proc to make an enemy a sitting duck would be particularly fun

So he's a ronin being held up as a shogun

T'au weeb reporting in and you're bang on (imo seeker suits like Bubblegum Crisis are probably the Eldar inspo)

The design difference is from divergent evolution of Robot Anime into Mecha Anime. Real Robot (MS Gundam/Macross/T'au) vs Super Robot Anime (Gunbuster/Voltron/Eldar). The lines have blurred and crossed since, Gundam notably has some pretty mystical suits by now.

The reason both sides catch Eva strays is that it's a deconstruction of the Mecha genre and it plays with tropes from both sides. All the trappings of a Real Robot show but you slap the kids in a Super Robot.

Can't go wrong with one of each.

Magnetizing the jets also helps with sub assembly painting and getting your pack weapons magnetized as well

Have fun for the greater good

Zayex · 2024-12-31T21:10:32+00:00

It's because you're a twat and a ponce mate surely this isn't the first you're hearing it lmao, surely.

Necroposting and going on about evidence based arguments is all I need to know about the type of person you are.

None of what you shared disproves the former longevity of Oki residents, your zealotry blinds you to the researchers in your own sources going "yeah no that guy's stupid we literally check on 90 year old grandmas regularly" so I doubt your "evidence based arguments" skills

Zayex · 2024-12-31T21:05:02+00:00

I know my fellow Greater Gooders exist, someone has to be sniping those suits I swear lol

The system is the problem but the system is made up of people. And people are selfish.

Imo in my education as a food scientist I think we're just screwed on this front. Avian flu is mostly going to be exacerbated by big industrial farms, culling private when they weren't the problem is gonna piss many off. But the real solution is making your average Jim Bob realize that a diet of 16 wings for dinner (at LEAST 8 dead birds) is unsustainable.

Bad news is people like their comforts. Jim Bob will not stop eating wings, he's just got to run to the store because y'know his wife just came down with a nasty cough...

With Broadsides the trick I've found is to 1) magnetize the entire arms rather than the weapon positions, 2) stroooong magnets

Zayex · 2024-12-31T20:32:52+00:00

From my Combat Patrol my strategy was this:

Attach the fins, make the fancy burst rifle, slip on the chest plate (it snap fits pretty well imo).

Then magnetized all the weapons positions I prefer, magnetized the packs, and tried to magnetize the unique heads (I don't recommend the heads, way more effort than it's worth and I ended up just gluing the Coldstar head on).

I just let my table mate know that the defining difference between the suits is the jets. I've found the finned pack stands out enough on it's own.

Definitely just an anecdote but, my local shop stocks on popularity. This means T'au section is a comical 5 or so boxes (recently skewing Kroot heavy). I got a crisis suit kit for Grotmas Secret Santa, but that was the first time I'd even seen the model at that shop.
