  • Wikipedia seems to disagree:

    The Persians army employed volleys of arrows, slingshots, and javelins against the Greeks in Gaugalema[21] and Thermopylae.[22][23] Ancient Greeks and Romans used arrow volleys.[24][20][19] The goddess Artemis was called “‘of the showering arrows”.[25][26]

    In medieval Europe, after the initial volley, archers would fire single shots at individual enemies.[27] Examples include the Battle of Hastings in 1066,[28] Battle of Crécy in 1346[19] and the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.[29]

    I’d imagine it’s possible that a volley meant that they started drawing at the same time rather than drawing and waiting.





  • TBH my take on it is that they pretend fighters are still doing the same thing as in WWII or maybe Korea, just with missiles. No BVR or anything. There is this Indian short that was more tense for me than the whole of Top Gun and it feels so much closer to the real thing.

    That said, I don’t like Tom Cruise because of his slavery side gig and IDK jack about Indian-Pakistani relations, so take it with that in mind.













  • It isn’t just your stereotypical incel who is lonely. People aren’t lonely because they suddenly just got worse at being people.

    I see a lot of good, decent guys lonely who don’t hate women, it’s just that infrastructure and third places got defunded, so you’re either at home alone or at work getting told it’s only appropriate to socialise in company-approved ways.

    Add in that rape somehow got politicised (mostly because we have rapists and pedophiles holding public office), so while we do fuck all for most of the victims who get raped in domestic situations, we get women and men afraid of talking to each other and also afraid of being talked to.

    And people who come out and say ‘hey I feel lonely’ get told ‘it’s your fault’.
