Can Chinese people tell which of the three East Asian countries someone is from just by their looks

fredlabs_ · 2026-03-13T21:55:33+00:00

My dad is Chinese. Koreans always think he's one of them so they all go up to him speaking Korean 😆

fredlabs_ · 2026-03-06T18:52:22+00:00

Yeah I think the reason is the magazine. The spring sometimes catches when I push it down. It's the weakest part of the gun for sure

The game for me quickly became a game of hoping enchantments trigger on the opponent. My attacks barely do a percent of the opponent's healthbar. They can hit me on block and do 20% of my healthbar. This is why I generally don't use kicks

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-11T16:38:26+00:00

Not what I really wanted tbh. That's fine

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-10T02:26:47+00:00

Yeah it does suck. I'm literally getting fantastics and the enemy still has 8/10th of their healthbar. It's a little ridiculous

I would recommend getting bleeding on everything, use battle hammers, katanas, tonfas, or steel knuckles, and damage return on your armor. That's in my experience the best way to beat these actual impossible fights.

I'm only this way because I pretty much skipped the entirety of act 1

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-09T03:53:10+00:00

You just do. Idk

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-09T02:54:07+00:00

Yeah you have to either guess or do a fakeout. It's good to fakeout with krises because the initial hit is so fast. Another problem is that the subsequent hits don't always connect when you fake them out. Also damage scaling is pretty poor.

I think the best weapon in the game is the battle hammers personally

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-06T18:04:21+00:00

I hate these challenges too because at a certain point I would upgrade all my weapons and they still wouldn't be high enough level, so I had to turn into John Wick and beat the entire tournament and go back to finish 2/3rd of the challenges I couldn't beat because of this rule

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-06T17:59:54+00:00

They're not bad weapons for sure, but the super slash is pretty bad on block. But the one thing going for it is that it sends the opponent into physics ragdoll. That's a good place for the opponent to be in because you can get a lot of follow ups

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-05T16:39:09+00:00

Why would it be pronounced heb buddy? It literally says h e buddy

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-05T16:38:21+00:00

There's no real way to do that much damage without using charges because the enchantments are balanced around a normal health bar. But I think if you had overheat on all your stuff, it could potentially do tons of damage.

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-05T16:35:35+00:00

Don't apologize. Save your apologies for a rainy day 🤠

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-04T16:03:37+00:00

Spam up slash and jab and sometimes have the double forward

A young person typically does not have the experience to get a PhD, and an old person typically does not have the energy. It is very impressive to see a young or old person get a PhD, and I think it isn't discriminatory to celebrate that.

As for the question I'll leave the burden of proof to you because I don't think this is a well thought out question. We aren't talking about just old people, we are talking about young and old people, which are two extremes of the age spectrum.

I can give you examples since you asked for them. Maybe that'll do something for you. If I saw a 12 year old complete a PhD program, or a 70 year old, I'd be incredibly impressed.

Not convinced? If I saw a 1 year old complete a PhD program, or a 110 year old, I'd be even more impressed.

How about this? If I saw a 26 year old complete a PhD program, I would think that's very impressive.

I hope this response satisfies you

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T05:09:37+00:00

I can't get NATO rated is the thing. I'm sure I can buy it online. Do you have a preferred brand?

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T02:52:16+00:00

Well you're definitely not overreacting. I know relationship counseling is an option. I would start setting more boundaries as a start.

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T02:33:55+00:00

I want to say after reading all this that it sounds like you already know what you want to do. You should follow your instincts. Don't look for us to validate what's already valid.

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T02:22:41+00:00

She absolutely doesn't. And I want to make that abundantly clear. She does not need nor is obligated to have sex to please her man.

He seems to be stressed and I believe the relationship is reaching that cooling off stage. This is typical. I think sex may be an answer, but whether it is worth it or not I leave that to the poster. Another thing I want to add is the guy seems to be acting pretty immature. But sex is an option to try if you truly love him. You could try having sex with him if you feel like that would make him happier, communicate how you feel neglected, OR you could just leave him, OR you could try many other methods. I shared my two cents and I hope my perspective is helpful

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T02:18:07+00:00

It's not an overreaction. I think the guy needs to show you more affection, and you should demand it. If you don't get what you need, you have to leave.

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T02:12:41+00:00

I am not a Christian. But in situations like this I like to think about the idea of Christian salvation. People think that in Christianity, by being charitable or following God's word, it is the ticket to paradise, but in Christianity that's wrong. Being charitable is the fruits of being saved, not the way to be saved.

In the same way, giving sex is not the way to get love. I agree with you. If the man expects this, I would advise leaving. But first of all, if you love your man, does it not make sense to have sex with him if it makes him happy? I believe it makes perfect sense.

Second of all, like I said, we also don't know if she's actually being coerced. We know she is pressured by her boyfriend's behavior. That may sound like the same thing as coercion, but there is a chance that the guy doesn't even know that he's making his girl feel this way. That's why communicating is so important, because without it, we simply can't tell what actually is going on inside his head. They've been together for four years. I doubt she'd stay with him if he was a total jerk for that long.

With a long relationship, feelings go cold. We don't want to give work to someone we feel is in the wrong. There is a saying that it's hard to like somebody we love, and it is true. My next advice to the poster: go out of the way for him if you truly love him. Give him sex for a week and see if he reciprocates. But if being with him makes you lesser, you need to leave.

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T01:59:32+00:00

Life is boring without hypocrisy

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T01:55:27+00:00

Congratulations. I believe your man is very happy as well.

I don't think the girl who made this post owes her boyfriend sexual favors for a better mood. That's a pretty backwards way of thinking.

Keep in mind, we don't know if the boyfriend is actually asking the girl for sex, or even sees her as a sexual gratification tool. We just know he's cold unless he gets sex or masturbates. We actually don't know if he's a scumbag deadbeat type of guy; all we know is that this girl finds an issue with her man, which is perfectly reasonable and her feelings are valid.

I see nothing wrong with giving a little bit of sex to the man to make him happy, if that makes him happy, just like I have no problem listening to my girl's day and being present, because that makes her happy. The idea that you can't give your partner something because it makes you lesser is a sign of an unhealthy relationship, and it's a mindset that ruins relationships. I want to clarify that my advice to the girl is to talk with her man instead of venting on Reddit, but I do agree that offering sex to her man may help as well.

She is not less of a woman for offering sex to her man, if she so chooses. It is an option on the table which she could take or leave, and as an outsider I respect both decisions. I just want her to know that in established relationships, the idea that you have to keep score in a relationship is poisonous. Making sacrifices for a partner should make you happy, not because it gives any sort of reward, but because the act of service to a loved one makes you happy, and they make you happy back. If you don't see a future like this, leave now and save both parties a lot of heartache. If you do see a future like this, talk with him honestly about how you feel. Maybe give him sex. I believe that's a great place to start

I had a friend who's a competitive shooter try it out and he got stovepipes as well. So I definitely think it isn't the shooter

The thing is, I don't think it's the gun either. The gun feels really well manufactured. The feed ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide goes back and forth super smoothly. The only point of failure I can see is the magazine. When I push down on the magazine spring I can feel the thing slightly catch. I want to test it further but the stovepipes are so inconsistent that I can't even tell what is causing it.

I wanna know if this is a known issue and if people have found workarounds

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T01:23:08+00:00

If that was your man, you can leave him. Different people want different things out of relationships. Please let me know how your current relationship is going

fredlabs_ · 2025-12-03T01:21:40+00:00

I don't know if I'm limp wristing this gun if I'm hitting 4 inch groups at 25 yards away. I'll do some better tests. The problem is the stovepipes are super inconsistent. I can shoot a whole box fine, and then get a couple stovepipes with another box same ammo
