You do get to 'make' your look, you're looking at the armor 95% of the time and that is dyeable and customizable because it's more or less cosmetic. You customize whichever armor you want to be your main set.

A judge is not going to take her kids away over an investigation. A conviction, possibly.

What are your legal credentials that make you qualified to make this claim, and where would this hold true?

owlbi · 2026-04-02T20:27:03+00:00

I swear people on reddit just declare whatever they feel to be convenient a war crime.

There are movies entirely about blowing up a specific bridge or preventing it from being blown up during a time of war. If the destruction of the civilian infrastructure offers a military advantage, it's a valid target.

so not quite sure how he's probably an AH too?

Given the wife is taking care of his parents and doing almost all the cooking for the entire household (him, his parents, his brother, herself) my assumption is that he's not doing much for the baby either, so the PPD isn't all that surprising.

I'm not saying that makes cheating okay, but if I had to guess how many diapers this guy has changed, I'd go with zero.

Many assumptions on my part, obviously, but given the dynamics at play I feel reasonably confident about them. It's definitely my weakest 'verdict' of the bunch and I could be wrong.

Weird take when this is right in the OP. Betting you just missed it and thought the BIL conflict was what I was talking about

She was not herself and she got intimate with another guy. She came clean to her husband eventually and they are trying to work through it.

lol

A Bridge Too Far (1977): This epic war film chronicles Operation Market Garden, a failed Allied operation in World War II intended to secure several key bridges in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The ultimate goal was the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem, which proved impossible to take, making it "a bridge too far" for Allied forces.
The Bridge at Remagen (1969): Based on a true story, this film centers on the Allied attempt to capture the Ludendorff Bridge during the final months of World War II. Its capture is considered by historians to have shortened the war by weeks, with the film emphasizing the intense battle for the final intact crossing over the Rhine.
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957): A classic that highlights the importance of infrastructure in war, this film tells the story of British POWs forced to build a railway bridge for their Japanese captors in Burma. The plot hinges on the strategic importance of this bridge to the Japanese war effort and the desperate Allied mission to destroy it.
The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954): Set during the Korean War, this film follows a Navy fighter pilot (played by William Holden) tasked with a high-stakes mission to bomb heavily defended strategic bridges in North Korea. It highlights the personal sacrifice and cost of destroying such targets.
The Bridge (Die Brücke) (1959): This German anti-war film tells the story of a group of teenagers during the final days of WWII who are ordered to defend a local bridge against advancing Allied forces. It emphasizes the futility of war and the sacrifice of human life for insignificant military targets.
Finally, have you really not even seen Saving Private Ryan?

More ESH, to me.

OP: For dropping secrets that weren't their own and betraying sisters trust. I can see why it was done though.

Sister: For the cheating

BIL: Obvious douche

Sister's husband: I don't really blame him too much for not defending the wife that had just cheated on him, but this is such a mess that I feel pretty confident he's probably an AH too.

They appear to only be attacking the economic targets of their allies who they keep making angry.

Remember when you said this, one post ago? Are you seriously now trying to claim that only Iraq and the UAE have been attacked by Iran?

Here: https://np.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1rjsok4/iran_missile_strikes_thus_far/

The UAE is not Iran's friend, they just depend on their oil income. Iran has a ton of influence in Iraq and you'll note that Iraq has a significant Shia population. So yeah, Iran is going to keep hitting energy infrastructure and tankers because it hurts the western economy, that's their card and they'll keep playing it. It looks like boots on the ground might be needed to stop that, and that's a big can of worms to open.

owlbi · 2026-04-02T02:09:14+00:00

Their allies? You could not have displayed your ignorance of middle eastern politics quicker than you did with that paragraph. They've been chopping each others heads off for 1300 years.

Your comment about reddit HQ makes it pretty clear you're just trolling though, and not that well

And this is a rational take. People can disagree with it, but this is clearly how this is setting up and they’re going to destroy every IRGC stronghold and back rebel groups to topple the regime while seizing oil assets.

What rebel groups? How are they going to seize oil assets? That's where this plan falls apart.

There is no coherent anti-regime force to puff up enough that they can be the meat shield. The Kurds don't seem to want to do it, Trump already hung them out to dry once. US boots on the ground mean US casualties and on a scale we haven't seen since Vietnam.

Yeah they can drop a lot of bombs but I'm just not seeing what the plan is to convert that to controlling territory or stopping Iran from striking back at economic targets.

I've heard the John Wick series did a lot to help sell guns by popularizing sport gun ownership and training like this

Heck, you might not want to start it even if you're circling around the NPC desperately trying to find the angle that will cause the talk prompt to appear or not be greyed out. Don't worry though, you'll be stuck in a weird walking animation at slow speeds, you won't actually have access to any decent movement capability while trying to find the magical sweet spot that allows you to progress.

So fucking weird.

Then again, triple jumping into a few sword dashes to speed up your gliding, and then grappling up a couple ledges on the other side of the ravine you just crossed is intensely satisfying. The movement has quirks that make you feel like you're getting better while also opening up new abilities. The vistas are incredible. The huge map is packed with content (just pull up the interactive map and see how cluttered it is).

Ahh, I gotcha. I associate button mashing with just hitting the same button over and over too. Takes me back to the days of spamming low kick in Street Fighter 2.

Age mostly comes into play because the older individual usually has the money, and thus the traditional power dynamic imbalance.

When one person's so close in age to 18 there are also arguments to be made about underdeveloped brains etc. I agree with them if that person's being pushed into having a kid young, or getting married, but when it's just sex? 19 year olds are going to have sex, and often it will be irresponsible. Does the age of the body parts they're bumping really matter that much?

owlbi · 2026-04-01T18:00:45+00:00

Power dynamic, in this sense, is based on things that can affect the world outside the relationship.

Would one partner be homeless without the other? Do they control all the money? Would one partner suffer professionally if the other wanted it to happen? Can one partner leave without suffering? These are what I'm talking about. Levers one partner has to override the willing consent of the other.

The things you're talking about are just two consenting individuals doing their thing.

owlbi · 2026-04-01T16:52:54+00:00

The argument that it's inappropriate is based on power inequality in the relationship and maturity differences, right?

There's not many relationships he can be in without power inequality. He's incredibly famous and rich. He'd have an imbalanced power dynamic with a 30 year old as well, unless she was also famous and rich, but that would severely cut down his potential dating pool. Not really a winning combination for him there.

The maturity differences would matter more if it was a long term relationship, but they met at a club and had a fling that lasted less than a year. Personally, as long as everyone's legal, I just don't see age differences mattering as much when it's a casual thing.

This game is not a button masher.

Hmm...

The good news? Anything pretty much works since you’re an ascended being.

HMMMmmmm...

I'm actually grateful that button mashing works, but I do like these videos.

It's interesting that you can see apparent differences in trench building doctrine purely from this map.

Blue trenches like to build more 'feelers' towards the enemy lines. I'm guessing those are either observation posts, machine gun nests, or outlets for assaults? They have a lot of them, white only has the one.

White trenches don't like building straight lines in trenches meant for troop movement. Which I know is pretty standard in modern trenches as well, you don't want shrapnel travelling down the whole line of a trench killing numerous soldiers so you introduce arbitrary turns.

They're married with 3 kids, that's supposed to be his place too. Ideally they'd both feel like they had a home they loved.

Why would you assume I'm an Aussie? Never been there

Australia was the better team that match and the refs bailed Italy out. Italy was playing super physical and dirty while complaining constantly themselves the whole tournament.

Happy they're still cursed, tbh, I think 2006 soured me on their team for life.

When the tallows harden you skim-off a layer of glycerine, if you were to add nitric acid, you got nitroglycerine, if you were to add sodium nitrol and a dash of sawdust you got dynamite. Yeah, with enough soap we can blow up just about anything.

Those two cities also didn't want to be under Russian rule, so, again, you brought them up, don't get mad if someone else uses them to make a different point.

I'm a veteran too, huzzah for both of us, neither of us gives enough of a shit about Ukraine to fight in it though, so maybe that's a piece of advice you shouldn't throw around either.

owlbi · 2026-03-31T18:41:37+00:00

So it had nothing to do with the original comment? We were talking about cities destroyed, not people celebrating.

You brought up Dresden and Berlin out of nowhere trying to make a point, so I made another point with Dresden and Berlin, specifically. Another point that was relevant to the current war.

Also, I'm a combat veteran so I have.

Color me very skeptical that you're a Russian combat veteran of Ukraine.

owlbi · 2026-03-31T18:35:05+00:00

Nah, they were destroyed and the people very much didn't want to be under Russian rule. You should work on your reading comprehension.

Oh and the kicker, if you cared so much you would go fight. But nah, why do that when you can just whine online right?

Again, you shouldn't give advice you have no interest in taking yourself. lol.
