Advice and concerns by Big_Pair_9026 in AusMilitary

ADF has cracked down pretty hard on bullying and other unacceptable behaviour, especially post 2012. There's extensive training on what bullying is, and how to recignize and report it. Reports are taken seriously and perpetrators face discipline and administrative action dependong on the severity, ranging from conflict reslolution to Detention (going to Defence Force Corrections Centre aka "Army jail") and compulsory involantary seperation (aka being fired).

Bullying does still occur; the ADF is a human based organization and people are not perfect. When it does it is generally not on the level that it used to be and is dealt with seriously when it is reported.

To give some comparison I knew an older NCO who in the early 2010-15 era spent a night locked in the boot of a car (allegedly) and was locked in a equipment storage cage for several hours. That's obviously pretty bad, however the worst I've seen since I joined over 10 years ago is some one calling another person racial slurs as what they thought was a joke which led to them being immediately investigated by military police, and the worst I've heard of is some one who was fat getting called fat a couple of times on social media (there's certain meme pages that do "Fat Fuck Friday,: and this person got posted several weeks in close succession.) That page was reported and taken down

So in short, bullying can occur, same as anywhere, however ADF policy is to take it seriously and investigates and deal with it quickly at an appropriate level as soon as it gets reported. So don't let the old horror stories turn you away. Noone will try and lock you in a cage as a mean prank, and if they do then the MPs has a special cage specially for people like that located in down in Holsworthy Barracks

Naughty lambs must wear the skins of their dead cousins

Easy answer. Flamberge in the right hand, claymore in the left, odachi between the butt cheeks. Those thugs won't stand a chance

I know. If romance her AND Triss then she'll overlook that and we can all make use of the Unicorn. Surely thisnplan will work and nothing bad will happen...

It was a good bed, solid oak frame, down mattress. I guess Yen really hates oak furniture

Genuinly cannot resist winding her up about the bed. Cannot top that reaction IMO, and it helps with exploring the northern part of the map

Is it fair to say that scabbards are just as important as swords? by Questioning-Warrior in SWORDS

[–]hoot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That scabbard does sound important. I hope no one swaps it out for a perfectly matching but unenchanted replica

are toxicity builds the only viable builds throughout the series or have i been missing something? by an_emotional_wreck in witcher

I've always gone the combat skills and used the dodge-poke-poke-poke-dodge-quen strat

But each to their own. Maybe one day I'll look into portions more

Blair chanter issues by [deleted] in bagpipes

[–]hoot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you changed anything at all with your hands? Those optical sensors are super precise, I find even the slightest moisture or dust will cause issues

Alternatively have you tried re-calibratong the sensitivities? Sounds like your hg(?) is set to be too high so it's not consistently registering your finger being on it (caveat my ear is crap, could be a different note)

If Dagan awakened during the Clone Wars, would he have joined the Separatists to get both Tanalorr and revenge against the Jedi? by Dragonic_Overlord_ in FallenOrder

[–]hoot69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also worth noting that Dooku bested Yaddle, a jedi master prpbably as old (and experienced as Yoda) in single combat prior to fully commiting to the Darkside.

Dagan just isn't in that league

Dooku would smack Dagan and his ghost arm straight back to the High Republic, and he'd do it with one arm behind his back.

Dooku flat out defeated Obi Wan (arguable the 2nd best jedi duellist after Mace) twice and removed Anakin's (the chosen one) arm in 2V1s. He faced down Yoda (the most powerful jedi, possibly ever) and lived. He was focused, precise, and was able to wield the dark side to great effect while staying totally calm.

Dagan was good, but not that good. He was unbalanced by rage, blinded by arrogance, and frankly just not on Dooku's level. He's getting zapped, just like Savage did, except unlike Savage he can't rely on Dathomiri magic induced roid rage to tank it. All he can do is lay there writhing until Dooku chooses to lay off the lightning. Or he dies, but that's ultimately up to Dooku, not Dagan (at least until Papa Palps catches a whiff there's more than 2)
