Suppressing opposing views is often seen as a sign of cowardice because it demonstrates an unwillingness or inability to engage with different perspectives. Here are some behaviors that reflect cowardice in suppressing other views:

1. Censorship

• Description: Actively removing or blocking content that expresses opposing viewpoints.
• Example: Deleting comments or posts that disagree with one's own beliefs on social media or forums.

2. Silencing Critics

• Description: Using authority or influence to silence those who dissent.
• Example: Threatening job security or social standing to prevent people from speaking out.

3. Refusal to Debate

• Description: Avoiding open discussion or debate with those who hold different opinions.
• Example: Declining invitations to public forums or debates where opposing views will be presented.

4. Ad Hominem Attacks

• Description: Attacking the person rather than addressing their arguments.
• Example: Insulting someone's character or motives instead of engaging with their ideas.

5. Echo Chamber Creation

• Description: Surrounding oneself only with like-minded individuals to reinforce existing beliefs.
• Example: Only joining groups, forums, or social circles where everyone agrees with the same views.

6. Spreading Misinformation

• Description: Deliberately sharing false or misleading information to discredit opposing views.
• Example: Posting fake news or altered facts to sway public opinion against an opposing perspective.

7. Intimidation and Bullying

• Description: Using threats or aggressive behavior to discourage others from expressing differing opinions.
• Example: Harassing or threatening someone online or in person to make them stop voicing their views.

8. Selective Hearing

• Description: Ignoring or dismissing opposing viewpoints without consideration.
• Example: Interrupting or talking over someone when they present a different opinion, or simply not acknowledging their points.

9. Misrepresentation

• Description: Deliberately distorting or misrepresenting an opposing view to make it easier to attack.
• Example: Creating a straw man argument that oversimplifies or misrepresents the actual position of the opponent.

10. Dogmatism

• Description: Adhering rigidly to one’s own beliefs and refusing to consider alternative perspectives.
• Example: Declaring that one's own view is the absolute truth and that any other perspective is invalid.

11. Exclusion and Ostracism

• Description: Excluding or ostracizing individuals who hold different views.
• Example: Socially isolating or unfriending people who disagree, rather than engaging in dialogue.

12. Policy Manipulation

• Description: Using rules or policies selectively to suppress dissenting opinions.
• Example: Enforcing community guidelines or terms of service in a biased manner to silence specific viewpoints.

Conclusion

These behaviors reflect a lack of confidence in one's own beliefs and an unwillingness to engage in constructive dialogue. They undermine the principles of free speech and open debate, which are essential for the healthy exchange of ideas and the growth of knowledge. Confronting and addressing these behaviors is crucial for fostering an environment where diverse perspectives can be heard and respected.

I've tried to post this theory so many times. This theory was made before the spoilers. It was made before the Kendrick Lamar and drake beef. Please excuse my grammar I wrote this theory several times changing many things and going back into the draft to add many ideas. I added one detail then realized if I kept adding stuff I'd have to write a fanfic at this point. The theory isn't about getting it right It's about the romance that breeds curiosity and new concepts that will hopefully be explained later. Thank you.
I think the sea devil was the creator of devil fruits and they were in the ancient kingdom. The ancient kingdom was evil they created the ancient weapons but could only use Uranus. The species like: Fishmen, Lunarians, Buccaneers, Giants, Winged Human, Giant Elephants, and Etc were used by the ancient kingdom to oppress the 20 Kingdoms. Pirates of the one-piece world were established from ancient or recent history just like in our world, so the oppressed people in the 20 kingdoms became like pirates. Not all became pirates just some, but that impressed Joy boy or Nika because Nika is his actual name or maybe it's Binks? Anyways Binks or Nika wanted to venture out to the seas to join the pirates and the kingdoms, but the ancient kingdom were like the celestial dragons so once you leave the noble status behind you can't rejoin. As punishment for him leaving they turned him into rubber believing it was a cruel joke and a good punishment for him, but it impowered him. He began to play jokes on the ancient kingdom his antics reached the lives of many around the world.
His power transformed islands just like long ring long land, he freed the oppressed, and he told the secrets of the ancient kingdom to the people because without his influence they would have stayed a non-advanced kingdom so they could compete with the ancient kingdom somewhat. Haki was introduced to people's lives, and it gave them power to believe in themselves to change the world and become free from tyranny in a world that these "Humans" Could live in. They became stronger and their numbers were Colossal, but something began to change, something that the ancient kingdom could never account for. The same "Creatures" the ancient kingdom used to oppress the people began to want a will of their own. Joy Boy introduced this to them, and that changed Everything. Zuniesha, The Giants, The Mink Tribe, The Lunarians, and Etc began to turn on the ancient kingdom. The Invincible Enormous Brilliant Ancient Kingdom was losing a war that a rejected joke of a rubbery man started then turned the tides against them using laughter, hope, love, and will for a better tomorrow. The ancient kingdom began using the weapons but wait one of the weapons didn't respond. Poseidon now had a will of their own and they wanted to be free, so they helped Joy Boy, but the ancient kingdom still had Pluton, and Uranus. The weapons were a real problem Joy Boy had to think fast so he had a certain clan build the Ark for not just humans, but for all the species that don't survive underwater like the fishmen. Joy Boy told his comrades about the weapons and that helped them identify the weapons. During the war one clan was so wreck less they managed to pull off a huge heist. The Kozuki Clan managed to steal Pluton before it could cause huge damage to the world, they took it off the battlefield and returned to the allied kingdoms.
Uranus was used during the war and was a death sentence to unsuspecting parts of world it decimated continents leaving remnants behind. With only one of the ancient weapons in use Joy Boy and his allies had to confront the person using it, and that was the SEA DEVIL. Joy Boy and Saint Nerona Imu confronted the Sea Devil, but something was off about him. It seemed like he was different from regular humans it looked like he hasn't slept in a long time, and his body appeared weird. The Sea Devil took damage from both combatants, and even though it damaged the sea devil they kept fighting until it was revealed that it was the Sea Devil that gave Binks or Nika the Rubbery powers. The Sea Devil began using their Powers. The two barely beat the Sea Devil through their own will they managed to defeat The Sea Devil, but The Sea Devil had a plan. If the ancient kingdom were to ever fall, they would rather sink into the bottom of ocean selfishly keeping their treasure than to give it to the rest of world and with that The Sea Devil began to use Uranus to destroy the ancient kingdom. With that Joy Boy and Saint Nerona Imu escaped and the Sea Devil was cast to the bottom of the ocean selfishly keeping their treasure. Parts of ancient kingdom was cast to the depths of the ocean, but some parts of it floated above still. The war was over, and people had to do some Greving. After the war Nika or Binks was exhausted forever from that war. Nika or Binks had been given the name Joy Boy, and he was recognized across the world. In light of the tragedy that occurred Joy Boy proposed something. He said, "LETS THROW A PARTY!" His allies rejoiced and they had fun. The species that the ancient kingdom created had nowhere to go and now had a will of their own. They came to Joy Boy and wanted to know what to do, and Joy Boy said do what you want.
The Created Species began to occupy different islands, and they created their own kingdoms, and cultures, but they had the knowledge of the ancient kingdom with them still. The 20 Kingdoms didn't realize that Joy Boy had supported the created species in the past so that fueled their anger. The 20 Kingdoms history with the ancient kingdom was embarrassing, and now the one man that gave them hope is the same man who helped the creatures. The same creatures that oppressed them? The kingdoms began to plot a plan against Joy Boy and all that oppressed them. The kingdoms found that there was a castle was found in the middle of the ocean a massive castle. They began to go inside, and they learned that it was from the ancient kingdom. The castle held untold knowledge, but the text was unreadable to them. They enlisted the help of ancient kingdom remnants, and the kingdoms learned the language. They learned some of their technology, about the history of the world, the creation of the species, the Eve tree, and some taboo methods, and etc. Most of all they learned that there was a devil fruit index containing information of all devil fruits and their functions, also they learned that devil fruits recycle after the user dies, but they also learn the weakness of it. The information is handed down to Imu. The Kozuki Clan learns the language, and the information inside the castle. They also learn about the ancient weapons, and how to use them. The 20 Kingdoms began to use the Castle as their place of importance, then they began to have a discussion on how they're going to betray Binks this includes Lily and the Kozuki clan members. The idea of becoming a world government is introduced and they plan to go along with it, but Binks is all that stands in the way. Lili sneaks away with the information, and contacts Binks and his crew to tell them about the betrayal. Binks unafraid challenges the world to a fight. Binks and his crew go around the world adventuring and meets new people and establishes a bond with people as well, one of those is Poseidon. Binks and his crew are welcomed in Poseidon's kingdom. Binks explores the kingdom. Binks meets a woman who can fortune tell like madam Sharley. He's amazed so he asked her about the future, and she says in 800 you'll return. He laughs and thanks her. Poseidon and Binks talk as he tells Poseidon that he's going to be betrayed, but he promises that he'll win, and when Poseidon comes up to see the sun it'll be Binks and his crew welcoming them. During or after this period in time the 20 Kingdoms have the first reverie before they become the world government. At the Reverie Imu goes into detail about how they are going to defeat Binks, and that is with Uranus.
Imu wants to cleanse the earth of their history and those who oppressed them, but some of the kingdom reject the idea not because of good morale value, but because they can be used. Imu hears them out and allows them that usage. Lili is present there also, and she's scared because Uranus caused huge problems to the world like making the sea level rise, not only that but, although the ancient kingdom oppressed them, she doesn't want to destroy all of the created species. A specific sea monster cat she and her kingdom has taken a liking to. So, she sneaks away once again, and tells Binks what is about to happen. Binks is horrified that Imu would use Uranus after what they saw the ancient kingdom do. He then thinks that The Noah needs to be used again. Poseidon asks Binks if they could do anything, and He responds that they could help deliver the Noah for it needed to be used again, so Poseidon orders the sea to bring the Noah to the fishman Kingdom. Binks tells Poseidon that when the time is right Binks will count on Poseidon to bring the Noah back up to surface to save the people that no longer have a home to return to, and Poseidon says they'll wait for Binks's word. Binks wants to play a prank on the 20 kingdoms now. Binks and his crew play prank after prank on the 20 kingdoms. Binks and his crew travel across the world building allies. A specific Giant asks the Kozuki clan to craft a sword for them. That sword would be named the Kietsu. Binks then told the Kozuki the history of world, the function/history of the weapons, and the and told them to write it and spread it across the world. While that was happening a clan in Wano decided to betray Binks and the kozuki clan, and that clan was the kurozumi clan. They leaked the information to the 20 kingdoms. Imu then tasked Lili to stop them. The sea monsters, the sky people, The Mink tribe and etc all helped deliver the Poneglyffs. During this time, they created the song binks sake. Binks and his crew personally want to deliver the Poneglyff to Lili. They sailed all the way to her kingdom but was met with a military obstacle. They were conflicted because to them Binks was Joy Boy the one who freed them. Joy Boy bulldozed his way through the army because their will wavered, and he met with Lili with tears in her eyes. They talked and Joy Boy successfully delivered the Poneglyff to her kingdom. Binks and his crew traveled the seas also delivering poneglyffs until they came across a remnant of the ancient kingdom. a remnant that shouldn't exist but here it is. He delivered his tale about the truth of the world and told his tales across the seas as a pirate. His message was kept there. He and his crew prepared for war. The 20 Kingdoms did the same. Joy Boy and his allies traveled to the Castle to stop the 20 Kingdoms from Using Uranus. Imu meets him on seas and told him challenging them is like challenging the world. The war began as Joy Boy said he wasn't afraid, and He screams at the top of his lungs "BRING IT ON" His hearted pumped and produced the sound of war.
The battle was fierce each side losing members, but the 20 kingdoms still had numbers, despite that the Joy Boy alliance was still putting up a fight and if it wasn't stopped the 20 kingdoms would lose. Imu then started to use Uranus recklessly, it took out his allies and Joy Boys. The war came down to wire and despite all odds Joy Boy was going to win, but he got exhausted. He used up his life during the war, and the Joy Boy alliance and the 20 Kingdoms watched as Joy Boy was dying. Imu came to Joy Boy as he was dying. Joy Boy laughed and got back up his heart beating like a drum he awakened, and in a scene like from the one-piece movie film Z he gets back up and fights Imu and the 20 Kingdom while laughing and smiling giving some of his allies' time to escape while some of his crew stayed. In the end the 20 Kingdom crying watched him lose his distinctive look and he lost all energy and started to die. Imu bloodied once again appeared to Joy Boy thinking about their past together sharing moments and fighting against the ancient kingdom and the sea devil together. Imu closed their eyes and walked away and said goodbye Joy Boy it was fun while Joy Boy lied there smiling as wide as the sky. After the war the 20 Kingdoms established the world government. They go around enslaving people and cover up the history of their embarrassing past. They enslaved the giants that helped Joy Boy and make them Pull continents together. This creates the Grand Line. A specific giant with the kietsu named Oars was forced to do this. It took nearly their entire lifetime, but they do it. Not wanting to be a slave anymore they revolt and managed to flee. but Oars is hurt. They hunt him down, but he makes it back to Wano where he begins to die from his injuries while remembering Joy Boy he smiles and then dies. The Tontatta's are enslaved by doflamingo's ancestor. Zuniesha who aided Joy Boy is forced to roam the earth forever because he aided Joy Boy. Lili is soon found out to have helped Joy Boy and before she disappears, she delivers a message that Joy Boy gave her. The ancient Robot who helped Joy Boy soon shuts down because he no long has the will to carry on without the one who gave him freedom. Wano keeps Pluton hidden from the world government and creates a border between them and the world. The sky people leave earth and go to the moon with ancient kingdom technology balloons while crying because the world government rejected them. They write about the ancient weapons and what they did to the world. They long to return one day when they can put their feet back on the soil. The Giants remember Joy Boy and tell his tale whenever they can. Etc Etc Etc Etc You Get the point now. I'd been thinking of this theory for a while. I had to choose between this one and two others. One where Loki is Usopp and he has belief powers not lying powers, also another one that Luffy is literally Joy Boy from the same void century. But it takes so long to write these. The point of my theory is to hopefully provide a new idea to the Era just before the Void Century.

Need to know what to do with this guy in the championship (Evans) and whether I should just suck it up and sell (Promoted from league one and absolutely walked the league) - signed him a season and a half ago for 200k and he is improving dramatically from a youth with potential to my best player but multiple prem clubs are sniffing around now. I've won most of my games so far in the championship but it is still September.
He has 2 years left but autolocks in a 7m release clause if I want to re-sign him (FM22 so can't complain to agent) - I've had a club offer me nearly £12m when haggled so do I just bite the bullet and sell? Feels like that would be painful and there's a certain romaticism where I really want to keep him but if I cant get him to sign without a release it feels like its inevitable unless I extended then just kept trying to cheese till im promoted? (could offer him a new deal now set to start at the end of the season and then go for promotion next year or something?)
I figured the only other option is to go for promotion and extend just before going up as the clause is clubs in higher division so it would become inert? I ideally wanted 2 seasons in the championship in order to build the club a bit and strengthen the squad so if i did end up going up this year it would likely mean an extremely difficult job surviving next year.
My current club balance is 500k (just spent 3m on youth and training upgrades so down from 3.5m) so its a LOT of money although i have other players I could easily make money from if needed and still have over 1.5m transfer budget and a lot of spare wages - He is my best player though (Apart from a few Man city senior affiliate loanees) so it would likely make us worse if I sold him now and replacing him as a championship club wouldn't be super easy.
I also another younger talented mid in the youth (3rd pic) who looks like he might reach the same level although hes got low strength. What would you guys do in this situation?

I have never been so distraught. I see her toys, litter box, even anything she stepped on in my room and I burst into tears. My kitten I rescued died suddenly when I took her to the vet yesterday. They said it was FIP. How pissed the vet made me and how strange this whole diagnosis was is something for another post. I brought her into the vet for constipation and came back up to her being limp, having seizures, and being 20°F colder. I felt like I didn’t love her enough. I had her pinned in the bathroom a lot for the litter box training, I let her out as much as I can and played. I cuddled her. Napped. It’s so devastating I only had her for two weeks and she was ripped from me. I didn’t even know she was a girl until I was giving the “ok” to euthanize her. I feel sick. My poor baby. I couldn’t stand watching her paws twitch in a seizure, I would gag from my tears and the vet just stared at me. They told me it’d be “inhumane” to let her die at home like I didn’t fucking know that. They gave me 10 minutes to make a decision about something I found out just then. I knew what my decision was, but in that appointment alone they already took $440 from me. Then dared to ask another $100 to euthanize her, they did it out of “courtesy” for free but I really don’t give a shit. My poor baby is buried in the ground when she was in my arms and happy no more than 48 hours ago. This swollen belly she had, she had it at her FIRST appointment and they said it was “probably worms”. I bring her in today, two weeks from that appointment and they tell me she has a fatal condition? She dies an hour later? I’m so broken over this, I’ve never grieved this way before. I think about how she was just a baby and it took seconds for the euthanasia to reach her heart because of her size. This fucking hurts. Even if she did have FIP, how the HELL was she fine up until the vet touched her. They cleaned out her colon, did enema, and then all of the her organs are shutting down? My sweet angel you didn’t deserve this. I’m sorry.

I think most players find gunships quite frustrating because they are a gear-check enemy. There is a small pool of stratagems and weapons that are effective against them. If you brought one of those things, they are actually pretty trivial to deal with, if you didn't bring one of those things, they become a nightmare. No inbetween.
Hulks, tanks, even factory striders, feel fun and fair to fight against because they can be brought down by a wide range of weapons and stratagems, with some just being quicker / easier / safer than others. EG You can blast a hulk in the eye if you brought the correct support weapon, but if not you can always use teamwork to shred its back with primary weapons.
My suggestion is basically this: Make the railgun effective against the gunships in general, but not as strong as the AC/AMAT weapons. Make the rear engines the “weak point” we can attack with basically any weapon. The smaller rear engines are a much harder target to hit, even more so if the gunship is facing you due to the front engines and the big red light obscuring them. However, getting a decent number of hits there is very plausible, especially if teammates are distracting the gunship, it is turning around terrain, or you managed to get close to view it from underneath.
what you see when shooting at a gunship
even zoomed in it's a tricky shot
Making the engines more fragile makes sense to me from a gameplay perspective (enemies being completely impervious to your loadout should be extremely rare, especially when you can’t just run away) and also an immersion perspective (a helicopter equivalent should be vulnerable to close range small arms fire).
Below are the actual numbers. I worked all this out using a big spreadsheet with numbers pulled from Helldivers.io. You can take a look here if you’re interested. Feel free to make a copy and mess around for yourself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13T__K02EarBLJFJqHJ5lisr_t4AOr2-ClQTOsktQAcw/edit?usp=sharing
Front Engines
Stat changes:

• Reduce Durability from 1.0 to 0.9 (I explain what this is at the bottom of the spreadsheet if you don’t already know).

What this does:

• This will mainly boost the Railgun, which has massive normal damage but very low damage against durable targets. It takes it from a 5-7 shot kill to a 3-4 shot kill (depending on charge).
• It also makes all non-plasma medium armour pen weapons take less shots to pop an engine, but not by enough to make much practical difference in my opinion. For example, the Dominator goes from 9 to 8 shots and the Adjudicator goes from 100 to "only" 53.

Rear Engines
Stat changes:

• Reduce Armor from 3 to 2 (Medium I to Light II)
• Reduce Durability from 1.0 to 0.7

What this does:

• This is a small buff to the weapons that are already good at killing the front engines. Autocannon would 1 shot instead of 2. AMR and railgun would take 2 instead of 3. Laser takes .37s less time.
• The real beneficiary would be primaries, as medium pen weapons now deal full damage, and light pen weapons now deal half instead of zero.
  • The chonky medium pen primaries such as plasma weapons, slugger, dominator, and crossbow would all kill in 3 or 4 shots to the same rear engine, about 25-50% less than the front engines.
  • The more conventional medium pen weapons like the lib-pen, adjudicator, and medium machine gun would kill in 12 to 18. The diligence CS would take 8. Tricky but do-able with enough skill or spam.
  • Light pen ARs, SMGs, and the stalwart would take about 30-40 shots, so the majority of a magazine for most of them. This would be messy under pressure but it's better than nothing!
  • Pleasingly, the senator would pop a rear engine in exactly 6 shots. Didn't plan for that, but I take it as a sign that my suggestion is good.

So, with both sets of changes, gunships would be about as easy to kill as they currently are for the “anti-air” weapons, but there would be a much more difficult alternate way of killing them with primaries. This may seem like it would make dealing with gunships too easy, but bear in mind most weapons have falloff and gunships are usually >50m away, so the shots-to-kill in practice might be slightly higher. They also move around a lot and you need to lead your shots against them.
