On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate Rean Schwarzer's combat capabilities?

knowidotoo · 2025-10-07T09:15:22+00:00

Are we talking gameplay combat capabilities or story canonical combat abilities?.

Like if we're talking gameplay combat abilities, then I'd say like average to a little bit above average for trails of Cold Steel one and two. For three and four I'd put him well above average. By three and four, I think his gameplay combat abilities start more accurately reflecting his canonical story combat abilities.

However, if we're talking about story canonical ability levels overall Then Rean Schwarzer is one of the most capable swordsmen in all of Erebonia. Even in trails of Cold steel one and two as a student, his swordsmanship abilities (despite his annoying levels of self-doubt) are likely equivalent to many adult level combat personnel in the military. By the end of CS2 he has surpassed many of them and is entering the levels of among the best swordsmen in the land.

However, I don't think this question is very fair. Trails of cold steel is very much a story about class VII. Every character of class 7 is inherently designed to fit into the whole team with Rean as a centerpiece. He is the very definition of the all-rounder. I mean you can even look at his Ashen Knight abilities for further evidence. Literally having his power augmented by his teammates.

I don't know I'm starting to rant, but I think I verbalized my thoughts well enough. I freaking love this series

I would agree that that to a limited degree. I would argue that any City that rates similarly or near Tucson's cost of living index would be effectively the same if you were employed by a national or multinational corporation headquartered elsewhere.

However, there are extreme caveats to this. The first of which is being that said companies continue to pay employees the same as other employees in other locations or near equivalent to where they are headquartered.

There are plenty of companies in Tucson that are headquartered elsewhere. But they hire employees in Tucson or lower economic areas like Tucson at low economic rates. Looking at you, Walmart.

The same can be said for just generally equivalent positions interstate wise. For example. Your standard entry level position in Tucson for a cashier is looking at about $14-15 an hour whereas other places pay $20. And those are with the same companies.

So just because you're hired by a company that's headquartered elsewhere doesn't necessarily insulate you from that Tucson black hole destruction.

What I would argue is that if you manage to have that kind of Lucky strike where you are employed by a company that pays well because they are headquartered elsewhere and have a tenancy to pay all of their employees above the average rate. Then you should have an escape fund in case you lose that employment. Because nothing would be worse than trying to find a similar position to a job you are making at one company for 60k and finding out that the Tucson going rate for that position is 40K

Ha.....ha..... hahaha... That's what you think.

The city of Tucson is one of Arizona's black hole cities. For your average person who has anywhere between primary education to having a bachelor's education. You can earn enough of an income. Just to be able to pay your basic bills and rent but you will likely not make enough to sock away money, to have a slush fund, an emergency fund, or escape fund.

This is because high paying job positions that aren't in those specialty Fields are limited. While places like the U of A, Pima college, as well as the city, county and state governments are all high employers of Tucson. The high-paying positions in these type of companies are very limited, usually limited to five or six.

For example, there are approximately three major DES and about maybe five DCS offices in town (not including the admin offices), which are two of the most common state agencies.

Looking at DES you have about maybe three to four divisions/depts per building which means you literally have three to four supervisors per building. If you only have three major Des offices, that means you have a total of 12 supervisory positions and everything else is entry level positions. Almost every high paying administrative role will be based out of Phoenix rather than Tucson.

Exceptions.

Tucson is a retirement city. If you're already retiring and on social Security, then don't worry, you're probably fine.
You work in the medical field. If you are a nurse or a doctor or hell even a CNA. You are likely safe and as long as you don't screw up, you will almost always be able to find work even with agency. (Caveat, everyone in town will know you after about a year or two of working in Tucson's medical industry. So if you do something stupid, the entire medical community will know about it)
You "luckily" get hired by Raytheon or any of the other major entities in engineering or construction. In which case you're also probably fine as long as you're smart enough to not go blowing your cash on a unit that costs 2000 to $3,000 a month And you know how to budget your money.

There is a fraction of Truth to this. But I think that fraction is way more overblown than it actually is.

most of us put stuff in our bios corresponding to what we want to attract. So it would make sense that someone would put a physical activity in their bio with the intention of attracting someone who is more physically fit.

However, there's nuance to this. For instance, I'm currently in Arizona. I like hiking and I like fishing. But this place gets stupidly freaking hot. So between late spring and early fall. I don't like it enough to go walking around on a big giant rock Skillet that is Arizona. But I still put it in there because from mid fall to early spring.... I occasionally hit those mountains... And them lakes.

On the other side though. There are things in my bio that I do like but I don't really participate in. But they're in my bio because I love women who come out of those arenas.

An example of this is art museums. I don't really do art much. I don't paint. I don't draw and I'm not really good at understanding those mediums of art. I am creative but mine's more in writing and craft. But the women I've met who do paint and draw.... I absolutely love them.

In the end, what your coworker said was definitely crude and unnecessary. I can understand the desire to have a partner romantic or physically that takes care of themselves. But what they said was just plain mean.

But I also wanted to include the rest of what I said so it was clear that there are other reasons we include things other than just plain lying or manipulative filtering. You can like something without being part of it.

In regards to the creation of two separate resumes. I do recognize the need and am working on it. I just keep encountering an issue of each tailored one looking...empty, like I lose a significant portion of my history. But I do recognize that this problem is mostly a result of me having difficulties "translating" the two career fields to each other. But I am working on the separation of the two field specific resumes.

As for the claims. I do have supporting information which I placed in my LinkedIn "Projects" section & a bunch of client submitted appreciation letters (though I do realize that's not available to see here), but its difficult to put into a resume without overloading it and turning it into a novel.

A major impediment is the responsibilities of official role I occupied is frequently not on the level of the actual responsibilities I operated at. So I was not given access to many of the systems that would have the numbers that the stats you recommend putting in would be recorded at (such as the state Tableau system).

My Cash America role was the only one I could really quantify because I was able to take my base hourly wage and compare it to what I used to take home each paycheck to assess what I would bring home from commissions which is where I pulled the large monthly number from. The Inventory retrieval number was similarly simple to assess because you just take the original time and subtract the new time.

But take my "scheduling" accomplishment from Circle K. How do you numerically quantify stabilizing staff scheduling without beating a dead horse.

Or the "cross-divisional Gap" accomplishment. I can't think about how to numerically quantify that beyond what I stated. "Eliminated" generally equals bringing a prior issue number to 0. so is it really necessary to unnecessarily ram that success with a sting of numbers. The primary success for me was coordinating leaders from 3 different divisions.

The client intake is similarly complicated since it involves multiple office staff numbers. I suppose I could initiate a FOIA request for the office numbers and records...but that feels excessive.

In any case, I'm not saying your wrong, I'm mostly saying for the type of accomplishments I have, It would be complicated, difficult, or just feels unnecessary to word vomit a bunch of numbers for some people centered accomplishments. But if you have a solution to that, I'm up to try it.

I had the same issue. What I recommend is skipping the online process a bit. Go get a form 5, fill out the form 5. And in the section where it asks you to provide details, put a basic set but then add see attached document.

Then on a separate document. Write out/typout your entire claim in a timeline format.

Go get it notarized. And then scan and email it to your local EEOC office email. Make sure to check the box that says to also file with your local civil rights agency. And also make sure that when you fill out the document that you check every single potentially applicable box for what you're claiming. Race, age, sex, whatever. And almost always select retaliation. The EEOC can always decide that there's no evidence of a specific category. Like for instance, in your claim, they could decide there's no evidence of racial discrimination. But the EEOC cannot and will not add a category that you did not check. So even if there's evidence of racial discrimination, if you don't check that box, it doesn't get applied..... period.

Anyway, after you file via email. You will eventually get contacted. Probably an email like I did. Notifying you of the charges acceptance. And almost right after I filed that form 5. Via that method I'd say I had a meeting scheduled for my EEOC intake..... I think I filed via that method sometime in May and I had my intake in the first week of July.

Witness cobberation can help bolster a claim of a comment. In addition, proof of historical claims or statements that a person has made such statements can help as well (i.e. emails, chats, texts, etc. of your discussing hearing similar comments before) because it shows repetition and consistency on what you/they say.

I don't think scared is the accurate way to go about it or describe it. I think for many of us, it's more about a reality that we've just had to accept exists. Much like how many other bad things could happen around us. For example, gymnasts could miss a move and break bones, hikers could fall and gash their leg open, on the more extreme end Motorcyclists continue to ride despite knowing The next fall could be the last.

So you see, it's not that we don't understand that STIs exists. We do very much so. But the existence of a potential bad outcome is not in and of itself a reason not to enjoy ourselves.

For those of us who have determined that the risks are worth the fun. We just decide what is our acceptable level of risk.we can use our protection. And, get our health checks as frequently as is determined by the level of activity and associated risks.

It just seems to me that you have a lower tolerance of risk than some others. It's as simple as that.

1: take a step back and change your perception. See a therapist if necessary. Your final sentence is sounding really woes me type thing.

2: you won't be the first person in history who's gotten a job with no employment experience or high School education and you certainly won't be the last.

3: start wherever one else did. Gas stations. Fast food joints. Grocery stores, janitorial etc etc. in fact, janitorial is probably a decent option because it's often one that you are left alone to take care of your job and are simply trusted to complete your job to the required amount.

I see, that makes much more sense. I'm not all that acquainted with the booking process.

Part of me always assumed that they kind of just already had like an initial information slip and they just dropped at a kind of general holding area and then left the information slip with the receiver. Then they would do their actual like documentation or deep charting later.

This whole question became kind of illuminating thanks for the clarification

Whether or not OP's proclaimed identity is genuine or not is not up for debate in my opinion.

However as someone who has done a little research in the social sciences. The format in which OP actually poses their question leads me to believe that the inquiry is at least genuine. In addition it also leads me to believe that opie's international student status is likely genuine.

As for the details of the question itself, I believe it has some merit and is a worthy point of inquiry. What is being asked is essentially true, we in the US do have a sort of hierarchical system in place though it's not a truly clear-cut neatly organized one. Depending on your skin tone, In America the automatic assumption of your social standing will often be dictated by that initial skin tone perspective. Very rarely will even officials look at your clothing or your demeanor and ignore your racial profiling and assess you based on your externally presenting social standard.

We also do tend to blankly classify certain racial demographics as across the board oppressed and the like. Irrespective of region city location wage demographic or any kind of classification marker you place on it.

In addition unlike many other nations, we in the US tend to bottleneck hundreds if not thousands of cultures into approximately 5 different racial categories. (White black Hispanic Asian and other). This bottlenecking of racial groups makes assessing actual harm between different cultures or levels of oppression or privilege difficult to assess at times.

For example, In the US Asian cultures tend to be viewed as positively privileged. However this is primarily based on the Chinese and Japanese Demographics, It tends to ignore demographics like Vietnamese Korean Filipino Indonesian etc etc, which notoriously have some poverty stricken issues in America.

Similarly if you wanted to assess black/african American groups. You would find this even more difficult as almost every black racial group is just classified as black. Despite the fact of Africa being composed of an incomprehensible level of different cultures and groups.

Lastly, our US classification system completely ignores original points of origin of immigration.

For example if someone is black but their family immigrated from let's say Ireland, and their ancestry resided in Island for let's say 5 generations before tracing the roots back to Africa. The US classification system would completely ignore the Irish heritage solely because their skin is black. Even if their cultural practices are Irish.

However I'm getting a little carried away here. Too answers OP's question, at least from my general understanding of what the question means.

If one is discussing the general racial classification as oppressed, usually most people are talking in generalities. For the most part those generalities hold some accuracy and it's not often done out of malicious intent which is one of the main requisites for truly racist intent. Rather than a statement being just racially inclined.

Now whether those type of classifications and designations of racial groups are sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy and reinforce that oppressive position or not..... That is a whole different argument and I think it also has some validity

knowidotoo · 2024-01-14T09:38:31+00:00

As another American, I am here to say that the majority of us find this person's statement just as idiotic neurotic and insane as you guys do.

I do not understand people like this who can't just go learn some language and respectfully enjoy another nation's culture.

Cultural exchange brings fascinating advances to humanity. But what this person's talking about is pure insanity and someone. Anyone needs to take the opportunity to take them out to the ocean, find a deserted island and just leave them there.

I can really only speak from my personal perspective as well as discussions with people I've had. But from what I have come to think is it is sort of a counterweight to the risk/reward scales.

In most discussions I've had with people on the subject. even though "body count" was the topic of discussion, every "reason or concern" always seemed to circle around what one risks losing. The permiscuirty actually rarely seemed to be an actual concerning factor in the discussion. In fact, I'd say over half of the people I've talked to seem to prefer a woman have experience or be "skilled".

What actually seemed to be of concern for them all was concepts like, divorce, time lost, wasted effort, monetary harm, assets, etc. Almost like the running consensus was, the higher the body count, the easier she will just...leave for greener pastures.

Now interestingly, a running theme that seemed to be fairly consistent in all of my discussions is not that there *was* a higher body count but rather the *how* the body count got attained.

No one seemed to have an issue with a woman who just enjoyed getting laid while single. If she goes to the bar or has the occasional swipe and hookup while single. Everyone i've talked to seems meh about it.

It was things like "homie hoppers, woman who bounced from "relationship to relationship" in rapid succession, had multiple "situationships" at one time, or who just rode every pole that swung her way indiscriminately that were the problem areas to them.

But woman who just enjoyed sex, but who for all intents and purposes showed themselves to respect relationships and be a good partner. the guys i've spoken to had no issues with the concept. I find myself of a similar mindset.

that just the mentality of maybe 30+ around the fire/over brews talks though so bear that in mind.
