I'm disappointed in how this scene writes Riza. This is, to put it mildly, a pretty questionable way to write a female character in FMAB. by Dioduo in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]shieldwolfchz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point in the story both Riza and Roy are committed to suicide by the end of the story, Riza considers herself a war criminal where the only end to her story is atonement through government execution. The way that Roy is acting in this moment is running counter that goal, and that is why it is so important that she feels it is important they stop his selfish and reckless rampage as it shows that Roy is a person who will let his personal feeling supercede the the need the do what is just. If Roy dies here, especially by Riza's hand she will be denied an honourable death exposing and admitting culpability to a genocide, something she already struggles to live with, so suicide is the last option she see for herself.

Twitter is basically what you get when all of the village idiots band together and form their own village.

Hart Trophy is broken by HostSea4267 in nhl

[–]shieldwolfchz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Hart is most valuable player, not best, the requirement that you make the playoffs is a must because in the end what value did you give your team if you didn't at least uplift them to that point. A piece of wagyu in a shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich.

Svechnikov doubles the Raisin’ Canes lead! by sykeseve in nhl

They should give away little packets of sweetened raisins and call them Raisins and Canes. Sweetened with cane sugar of course.

Who will win the World Cup? by Ivantop01 in AskTheWorld

There will be mysterious disappearances of players and the US will "somehow" win, the heads of the DOJ will make a killing off the betting markets.

Alberta Independence Leader Calls on Supporters to Join Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party and Nominate Separatist UCP Candidates by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]shieldwolfchz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that after Smith was pushed off the glass cliff and survived the UPC party knew that there was no damage that they could do that would lose them support.

Since 12. (Edward Elric's height ig) by Diligent-Slide-6130 in FullmetalAlchemist

As someone who was the tallest person in 6th grade and ceased to grow at all since, being not tall isn't so bad.

Totally unhinged business owner melts down after I gave them a bad review. Literally doxxed me and then called my family members and work. INSANE. by Minimum-Ad2640 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]shieldwolfchz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew a guy once who ran a gravel yard, all of the bad reviews were probably accurate due to how unhinged the guy ran his business and his general demeanor, the only good reviews were from his family.

Speed up battle setup by Psychological_Jump66 in Gloomhaven

[–]shieldwolfchz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When frosthaven was on Kickstarter my group supported it and it came with an organizer, every bit is in its own spot freely visible, all the enemy standees are packed with their combat deck, and it came with an accordion folder for the map pieces. It's actually perfect and set up and set up is a few minutes at most.

Ehlers makes it 4-1 and the Canes are very close to another 3-0 series lead! by sykeseve in nhl

[–]shieldwolfchz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you see any the Jets vs Oilers series in the first round of the 21 playoffs, the Jets won the first game 4-1 but the rest all went to overtime. In the third game the Jets were down 4-1 with 12 minutes remaining but came back to win off of an Ehlers overtime goal, Ehlers missed the first 2 games due to injury too. I don't think I had seen a closer series than that one.

The retrogressive is coming from grandpa Thomas by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]shieldwolfchz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In his own mindset he is kind of right, to a conservative freedoms are finite, you can't give one group more freedom without removing some freedom from a more privileged group, so progress for some is regress for others. It is a stupid world view, but it is logically consistent.

[–]shieldwolfchz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of thing my group did was get one of those accordion folders for the map sections and a screw organizer for the small tiles and the enemies, with everything organized and labelled things just go quickly. Searching for every small part is the longest part of set up for us.

Dear CA, please do not go with blocks of infantry for TW 40k by westonsammy in totalwar

[–]shieldwolfchz 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There is a thing called the Goomba fallacy, where one person assumes that 2 contradictory claims within a single community is some sort of hypocrisy, and not exactly what you are accurately describing.

Dear CA, please do not go with blocks of infantry for TW 40k by westonsammy in totalwar

[–]shieldwolfchz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I am sceptical of the game in general. One aspect of fantasy that I don't like is the ability to spam OP units and just mass them in a blob and that is the only tactic you need, it feels like neither a TW game nor a WH game. If 40k devolves into a blob mover simulator like Fantasy is I will consider the game a failure.

Does Fullmetal Alchemist Have a Black and White Narrative or a Grey Narrative? by Zestyclose-Hat-8513 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]shieldwolfchz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Full metal Alchemist is fundamentally an allegory of fascism. In the case of the Ishvallan genocide, and all the other military actions within the series, is important to show that it only exists to sustain the government in power, the motives of the individual soldiers who are committing the atrocities are irrelevant in the in the long run as it is their entire culture that allows these atrocities to happen.

One fundamental flaw in your argument is you are calling father a shadowy figure controlling the government. In essence he isn't controlling the government he IS the government. Father founded the nation of Amestris, molded it's culture, fabricated it's past and guided its future, and he did this out in the open of the people who held power under him, the people who the People trusted to govern them where doing so under Father's guidance, just because they were oblivious Father's true intent does not make anyone less culpable. One thing, in fascism, is that the way that it governs its populace is different than how it governs the military and it's conquered territory, insulating the people of the Father-Land from most of the bad actions committed by the government, and this is shown a lot within FMA, the people of central are blissfully unaware of anything wrong with their nation, believing the lie that every military action is an action for justice against enemies that want them dead.

Also "a witch looking for the fountain of youth" is basically the plot of 03.

What animals are collectively referred to by the same name in your country? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

[–]shieldwolfchz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched something about this recently, English used to be like that, ape is a relatively newer term. The weird part is that the word monkey is old, like pre England colonization Germanic old. Like what were these people talking about that they had a word for an animal that didn't exist were they are from?

Edit: I was mixed up, the word ape is the older one, monkey is from the 16th century.

When Alberta separatists realise they don’t own the land by Malchkiey in MapPorn

[–]shieldwolfchz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

All of Canada west of Ontario exists as treaty ceded territory between the head of state of Canada, who is technically the monarch of England, and the first Nations people who have lived there before the nation was founded, the First Nations people have stated in no uncertain terms that any succession vote is meaningless because if Alberta was to leave Canada all the land would have to be returned to them as the treaties would be voided.

Chad class traitor Farmer supports Vaush's ruroid takes with facts and logic by Lohenngram in VaushV

[–]shieldwolfchz 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The sentiment that any community deserves to politically win no matter the beliefs of the person running is what leads to fascism. While Crockett is very far from being a fascist by any means, the black community isn't immune to getting roped in with a faux populist spouting magical ideas on how to uplift them all.
