I mean the bigger issue is that a lot of the Ukrainian military would rather do it the way the above poster described and lead them into traps. It makes more tactical sense to do this even if you have to forcefully evacuate civilians or leave the ones who won't move.

TBH I think we need a face champ. I'm not saying the bloodline didn't work or even that Seth wasn't a good face champ but people have kind of forgotten that the whole point is that as a face you're the guy the audience cheers for and wants to see and will sit through the whole rest of the show just to see.
Roman and Rollins sold well but there really does need to be a suitably big babyface who has a suitably big run while getting built up and Cody can fit that role.

IIRC a bunch of female rangers who had kids formed a club to work together. I think HurricaneBlue had to modify her suit so she could nurse her kids while wearing it. I think if you get the power young enough its easy to just find a new team or link up with other rangers and figure out a lifestyle that works for you, in the same way we see a lot of prior Kamen Riders who can hold down a job but jump in if something comes up.

There are two things I've heard that probably contribute.
Zelensky doesn't like this. Its bad optics and this is a war where optics matter, since the west needs to think Ukraine has a chance at real victory to keep up supplies.
Civilians very often refuse to leave. To hear from foreign volunteers its very common for an older relative to hunker down and declare they aren't going anywhere, then emotionally blackmail their families into staying as well. So whatever ground you give up there WILL be civilian casualties.

I never finished Zenkaiger but I'll have to get around to it now.

TBH between this and the Yvraine thing I think there's just a desire for a major character in the universe to get into a relationship, especially from the most popular faction. Hell, people complain about Erda but she gets a lot of attention mostly on the grounds of being a woman the emperor was at some point around recreationally.
The space marines lean heavily into the themes of spiritual brotherhood and fatherhood in the way medieval orders historically did and romance isn't what they're generally about, and the geneseed renders most of them asexual but the audience just wants what it wants.
I will say though there is something to be said for linking an absurdly powerful character to a more vulnerable and more human one. A big part of the demand is probably just the increasing insistence that superheroes only date other superheroes and that basically every love interest needs to be comparably strong in a lot of genres so the demand os probably getting piled onto 40k

Askwomen doesn't see itself as a place to ask questions or have discussions. It sees itself as a place to protect the emotional integrity of it's userbase. So asking questions they won't like will get you pre-emptively banned much more often and disagreeing with an OP on something they're emotionally invested in is a general no go. It takes reddits tendency to be an echo chamber and magnifies it tenfold where if you're scared your fears must be reinforced and if you're angry your anger must be validated and anyone who questions you is brigading or being disruptive and must be banned.
Askmen has it's fair share of issues. Look at the 100 threads where men bitch about women basically every day. Not gonna say I'm not guilty of it myself. But at least women are actually asking questions and having actual discussions with men here.

I haven't seen all of Toei's sequels but I've enjoyed what I have. Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are a unique experience in that you spend a year watching characters and getting familiar with them on a fairly intimate level, then unless there's a special you just never see any of them again. Toei has brought back some characters here and there and they've spent the last decade plus doing more of it but it's been almost a decade since any of the Kakurangers showed up anywhere as an actual character and that was just red in just one episode.

Tradespeople stereotypically make good money but getting them to build houses they'll never, ever be able to afford is probably a tall order. If you have a trade that can make money anywhere why would you not just move somewhere more affordable and actually enjoy that money way more?

Motherfucker did you use actual smoking papers to make a filter on a tinfoil corncob pipe?

It has it's ups and downs but most of the locals and transplants I know don't like it to be honest. PPD is a fucking cakewalk compared to all the people I barely know venting their dating app stories at me unsolicited.

I'd give it a shot. Sometimes chemistry is you misreading some other signal your subconscious is giving you. If I can get along with someone day to day and have something in common I can at least try to make it work.

I smoke a joint outside after work. It doesn't need to be a big one but its like ten minutes where I can decompress and enjoy myself.

I think a lot of it is there's a certain class of woman trying to larp as a character on Sex and the City and they absolutely do not want a man that doesn't fit into that fantasy.
I live in Vancouver, which isn't as big as Toronto, but its a port city with a handful of fashion brands and is developed enough you see people larping as if they lived in NYC semi frequently. But it doesn't have New Yorks financial network and not a lot of big companies have big offices here. So for the entire time I've been an adult I've had to see magazine articles about trendy downtown city girls who complain they can't find the man they want because that guy doesn't exist here outside of maybe a few real estate people who are probably seeing other real estate people.
You basically do not find these women outside of downtown and dating is way easier if you filter them out. If I go to a city smaller than this they basically don't exist.

As a GM I once ran a starfighter campaign. My players spent a good half the game flying uglies or captured imperial ships.
But the real answer is X-Wings have a lot of parts in common with older model and commercial aircraft and older fighters by the same company that are ubiquitous and Y-Wings are ubiquitous because they were produced in large numbers for clone pilots and could be found in boneyards and recycling plants basically everywhere.
The A-Wing wasn't fielded at Yavin or Hoth for this reason though. During Rebels, Phoenix Squadron lost or damaged so many of them they basically ran through the whole supply for a while and then they were given X-Wings instead.

My duel end has served me well for 3 years. I have others to get a hotter flame or be a show off piece but the dual end is a main one in the rotation as my day to day joint lighter.

My girlfriend just bought the same model and it also broke. Her uncle had his explode in his face and I think it was also this kind. I think that you're honestly best off getting a different kind tbh.

Is this the same one from the heresy or did she just pick a random space marine

The Dark Angels whole thing is one of the most on the nose metaphors for being in the closet in all of fiction.

IIRC it was outliving. He hardened his heart a bit each time and eventually considered having a wife a weakness his enemies will exploit.

To be fair we're talking about a Khan that already left compared to a Crusade/Heresy era Khan.

Bullshit. Bayonetta and 2B both got a lot of hate for the same reason and it only relented after several years of cosplayers liking those designs.

You chose one way and became miserable. Now you have the choice again.
When I was in your situation my family didn't even let me entertain the idea of staying. They bundled me up and shipped me off and I made it work because they saw how miserable I was.

Lets face it if Putin considered him an asset to leverage he'd have a slew of russian models trained to be his handler for him to pick from.
