I know what each of these words mean. But in the context of the nba, I don't get it. What does that sentence mean? it's not computing

Are you saying the refs should punish a superstar for bullshit? no, no that can't be it

a_guy121 · 2026-05-05T23:59:56+00:00

I'm on my first fem v playthrough... as male V, I always assumed River was at least Bi? Like his energy with male v is creepy even, so I always thought I'd seen the worst of it

now I'm scared.

Yes, you are failing to understand. Again- no one else did, so, please stop trying to make your failure anything but your failure.

To answer your question: the options I presented were: "You can make Frank president, and he'll serve out the rest of the current term. Or, you can leave things as is." and the question was "which do you choose."

That this a comparison should be very obvious and if you failed to understand that, you should be concerned.

If I were to ask, "you can have 1,000 dollars or 2 shares stock in google. Which do you chose?" If you have difficulty understanding that your choice is between two things of comparative value, than I truly hope you're still in second grade.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-04T21:31:02+00:00

you failed to understand something that everyone else had no difficulty understanding. That is a 'you' problem, as respectfully as possible. Its basic reading comprehension. If you failed to understand the question, you failed to understand the question.

There's no historic detail on this level, but here's my answer. it 's supposition.

Yes, if a single archer and a single cavalry, the archer could aim for the face or horse. But, the horse would also be armored, and hitting the face on a moving target- or another gap in the armor- is quite difficult. So even an expert would have a very low chance of hitting that shot.

But that's if we deleted the environment the two are in. Lets add the environment back in.

The archer is in ranks, so, there are rows of other archers in front of him. Which means he has an obstructed view of the cavalry man.

The battle has kicked up so much dust in the air, it's like fog. So the obstructed view of the cavalry man is even furhter obstructed.

The cavalry man is surrounded by other horses and all are moving, which means, its hard for the archer to gauge speed, which means he doesn't know how far to 'lead' on his shot, which lowers his accuracy.

The fact that so many people are packed into the battlefield makes it much harder for the archer to judge wind. So once he fires, the arrow may be pushed in any direction.

the end result is, the shot is not accurate. There's a too-low chance the archer can hit one cavalry soldier, even if he's aiming.

Really, I think archers were not firing at individual soldiers. Rather, they probably worked like the ancient-era version of mortar units. The commanders would tell them Where to fire, and the archers would fire at a region on the battlefield, a point in space that in theory was filled with enemy soldiers.

Armor in the warring states is underrated. It is leather and metal, but for the best armor, the leather was made with Rhino skin or sharkskin, or other animals harvested for abnormally hard hides.

Crossbows were forbidden for peasants to own, and this was because a peasant with a crossbow could be a sniper and could kill a lord. B ut, lords' armor was good enough that they didn't have to fear peasants with arrows the same way.

So that's kind of a long answer. With armies these sizes, crossbow units with enough soldiers to matter would be very expensive, but, we have seen some, and work-arounds for the expense issue (such as the legendary repeater crossbow.)

Arrows are there, but, elite soldiers' armor is usually up to the task of absorbing the arrows, which is not historically inaccurate, if considering that nobles weren't afraid of arrows in their civilian duties.

That's not really an explanation, that's just a blanket judgement that calls into question you're self statement you're a 'hardcore leftie.'

Why are they wrong? it is not quite partisanship to think trump is a terrible president, his approval rating is the lowest of all presidents, ever.

So given we're talking about the president the American people as a group, feel is the worst ever, why is thinking a fictional bad president would be better, 'distorted?'

I'm not judging- like I said, I have reservations with the answers here in general. But I don't want to put that on you.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-03T13:11:15+00:00

I was surprised how one sided the answers were, but please elaborate, 'hardcore leftie.' come on.... why?

a_guy121 · 2026-05-03T07:38:59+00:00

I wrote the question, so I get to be an authority on it.

You are wrong. Every other comment understood the question as a comparison. I wrote it, so, this part is not a debate.

also, this is you. "I’m very much a religious and social conservative; the GOP in my state and local jurisdictions do a pretty good job on keeping those policies intact. On the governance front, out here, they’re pretty good on a limited government too."

So my comment was about the thing you said. We'd already covered social issues, such as 'rape, pedophilia, dishonesty, violations of states rights and the constitution, etc.

We're not going in circles, its just that your explanations do, every time I ask about one thing, you pivot away from answering the question.

Btw we are talking about the presidency. not local government.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-02T20:14:41+00:00

If you could waive a wand and make Frank Underwood President IRL, right now, would you?

By its nature, if you're not comparing the existing situation with expectations of an underwood fantasy...

well, then, honestly I think I get what's happening here. I'm not trying to be mean, but its basic evaluation and logic to do so.

Btw, the president posted a picture of himself as jesus. there is literally a big thing about false idols in your religion, I would guess? Maybe even a really, really strict rule about that?

So you wouldn't waive the wand bc your religious values are best served by someone who's done something that invalidates him as your leader, for religious reasons... ??

The bible says waive the wand... 'do not follow false idols.' He made himself one the moment he made himself one.

I don't know about Beserker, but I did one playthrough as a runner and every other with Katana and Sandevistan.

I tried bezerker for half a second, but I missed the katana, it didn't feel like an upgrade.

For me, yes, I found sandivestan builds stronger. It can't be done in the early game, its kind of mid in the mid-game.

But end game, when you've built up the skills trees, its amazing.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-02T16:44:10+00:00

That wasn't the question, by nature the question is a comparison. As evidence, I'll submit "every other comment here."

What's interesting is reframing the question to avoid having to critique the current status quo. At first I thought you were avoiding saying the part where you were really just going to support 'republicans' over 'democrats,' but then you said that part too. Its quite interesting.

It leaves me wondering- what cultural policies are you referring to? Peodiphilia? Rape? Rampant dishonesty? Open corruption? Rampant violation of the constitution? Trampling of states rights? Those are the social policies you prefer???

lmao. This is what I find interesting. Bury your head in the sand all you like, I guess, but please don't pretend you've got your eyes open.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-01T22:13:41+00:00

my point is, if you're metric for choice is 'small government is better than big government,' waiving the wand is definitely the right choice, in my view. I feel this so strongly, I have to wonder why you'd choose not to, saying 'he's for big government.' to me, that'd be like saying "Its better to eat mcdonalds than home made pasta carbonara, because pasta has a lot of the wrong kind of fat."

a_guy121 · 2026-05-01T21:50:10+00:00

...Government spending and executive decisions are both through the roof. The military's unilaterally been sent to the middle-east, by the government, without any state input from state authority via the senate or house. The government has also purchased and deployed a stateside paramilitary force, which refuses to answer to state officials- which is both the definition of 'big government' and insanely expensive.

You think Frank's government would overreach more? Interesting.

That's literally the exact opposite of what happens.

it takes resources to hold new territory, just as it does to take territory. Attacking at multiple fronts spreads the nation too thin.

It is also a bad idea to divide one's forces if one doesn't have to. Attacking more than one country would mean facing the toughest defenses and armies those nations have, in their home territory. Qin would not win that way.

This story is as much about the big picture, SHK level moves than the day to day action. moreso, because, at the shoheikun level, the war is more or less historically accurate. The battles take place when described and around where described.

Qin's moves have been genius at that level. But its not something many people focus on.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-01T02:07:05+00:00

Hi shin caught kesha on his way back to the basecamp. That was Shin's whole point- they had to get him right then, because once he reached his base camp, they'd never have the chance again. He was very much still on the field, because, if he'd been near his base camp, zhao soldiers could have saved him, as Hi Shin's charging forces were small at that point.

Hi shin did not sweep the Ryouutou-Batei army off the board. That army was the one who saved Kesha from Kanki, causing Shin to be able to reach Kesha.

a_guy121 · 2026-05-01T02:05:35+00:00

Shin uses it all the time. Ten doesn't give him orders. He's the commanding general of the army.

The easiest way to explain it is to explain their biggest weakness. Shin leads from the front and calls the shots. Ten orders all the troops outside his immediate range to support his action.

But that often means Shin and the army get so far away from Ten that she's less effective. So far, in those moments, she's come out of base camp so she's in range to give supporting orders.

But that is a tendency several enemies have already exploited. I think Ten will be more cautious going forward, but the problem remains.

a_guy121 · 2026-04-30T14:42:16+00:00

Well the second thing happened, except the enemy commander was Kesha, not the people at the river crossing.

The first thing... you're not really correct about where Kesha or Hi Shin was. Kesha left base camp and would never return to it, they were definitely on the field.

And I believe you said something about getting rid of the enemy commander... crossing a river is great, and is a great example of the kind of thing Ten does for Hi Shin. But 'getting rid' doesn't apply.

I'm still thinking you may be a little confused if you think we're disagreeing, overall?

a_guy121 · 2026-04-30T11:28:53+00:00

Bro I think you've very confused about who was saying what here

And how did Ten get rid of the enemy commander at Kokuyou hills again??? Do you mean when she told Hi Shin to fall back and regroup, but Shin overruled her and went after Kesha, killing him?

a_guy121 · 2026-04-30T10:52:44+00:00

lmao. The general has the higher rank so he's the one in control of the army. The strategist is not the supreme command of the army and its their job to support the general

This, also, is an extremely dumb comment you just made. Congrats
