So this problem happened after I washed my ear cushion. It was 95% dry, with some parts of the inner wall damp, but it still worked for some time till I put it on to charge. After that, I tried to connect it, and it would not work, so I left it till the next day, and now, for the past 3 days, it has the same problem as what is shown in the YouTube short.
And I put it in the freezer/fridge. So who knows, I might have water damage.
Oh btw, the same day it stopped working, the white strip of plastic keeping the fabric on came off for the right ear. So idk if that is a problem

This is dope.
Why didn't they use military terminology?
I'm no service member, but instead of saying repellers, why didn't they give them a team name using the phonetic alphabet?
Like Alpha 3-1.

im so mad; they said withdrawal instead of RTB.

"Withdrawal." Are we dead ass?

This is affecting my larp.

This is so cringe; idk why they can't just make it realistic. Why change how they operate to cater to the masses, but then again, all my info is based on how the US military operates, so who knows? Maybe they do talk like that.

Why is it always 30 people vs one guy? Can't they get more than one actor? And why is the building so small?

My military knowledge is basic, but this looks so embarrassing.

Yes, money does play an important role, but it might not be the leading factor.
Studies have already disproven that case; most rich people don't raise their kids or don't care about their kids. Due to that absence of love and emotional support, it may lead them down a path of violence or develop some mental illness.
So the government and some people saying money is the issue are not 100% right.

The problem is that most Jamaicans don't know how to raise children properly; most people in this country can't understand a child's age. idk how they think, but they seem one-year-old has the brain power of a 5 to 10-year-old. On top of that, most parents fail to provide actual love and support for their kids and fail to understand them, and when you teach them the correct way, they pass it off as American propaganda.

The reason is that we don't create parents; we sort of just let people have kids, and that causes many issues. Many people in this country are raised with trauma, and Gen Z seems to be aware of it.

Anyways, this also might not be the major issue, because idk how many Jamaicans think about how they would raise a child.

I think the bigger issue is the burden. Pregnancy is not an easy process, and no proper support would cause problems. On top of that, many young people don't know that having kids is a sacrifice to their fun time.

My personal experience:

So I have a stepsister; she has a one-year-old kid.
I have a stepmom, and I have my father.
Yes, both of them are working, but they take up a grandparent role.
What I have realised is that they don't know how to deal with the kid. Most of the time is them screaming the kid's name and hitting the kid when he does something wrong. idk why the stepmom hits the one-year-old, as he doesn't know much.
Now I can see them trying to do something, but it looks pathetic.
They are trying to teach the one year old verbaly as if he can understand speech. But in reality, they should be socket covers, cobards, and draw locks.

That kid opens and enteres draw/cobards at least 5 times a day, and all they do is shout at him. Like that would do anything.

Anyways, they also fail to entertain the kid; it just seems like they want the status and presence of the kid rather than to actually develop. A one-year-old needs constant attention, so playing with him is required, but they fail to do that.

Well, I don't know maybey im delusionaton i am only 19.

I would elaborate more on my opinion, but i'm too lazy.

In my story, you have an alien force that can't be hurt by Humans convetional wheapons. So I showcase an Mg team fighting a couple of them, and right after the opening, since you have 2 people who died.

>The sky darkened as explosions outshone the fading sun.

>Private Dale stood in the dry trench as his M-sixty chattered, kicking up dust as bullets disappeared into the treeline eighty meters ahead. 

>Dale's body stiffened, his fingers locked on the trigger; the gun fired wildly, the hot barrel swung up and seared his forehead as he fell to the ground.

>"Dale! Sh–." Scott reached for Dale as a shock wave flung him back as a wall of dust and debris erupted over the traverse, fifteen meters high.

The older version had more info on Dale's death, but I don't know if I really need it.

Anyways, the perspective immediately switches to another soldier calling to his sergeant because of the explosion.

>"Sergeant!" Around the traverse, a soldier's head snapped up, eyes wide.

Then we switch to the sergeant and James.

> “Keep firing!” Sergeant Harris shouted at the soldier. He then turned to the radio operator, James,  and grabbed his radio as dust and debris fell from the sky.
"Gun One, this is Bravo-Tw–" A hand struck the sergeant on his head; its jagged bone cut across his cheek as it fell to the ground. The brown red dust settled over him as pieces of men fell from the sky. Sergeant Harris sighed as he handed James the radio. He squinted, peering through the gaps in the dust over the trench wall. 

Then, in like 2 sentences, 2 more people die. Oh, fyi it's a 7-man MG squad; James is the embedded FAC.

Anyway, they call an naipalm on the shelves, Harris is hardly alive, so he can do the classic bad guy reveal.

Then we switch to a non-human. A god, and then he dies after writing a letter to set up the MC's importance.
The god is the only relevant character in the prologue.

Obviously, this is just a vague description of how the events should take place.

honestly i genulay don't think this makes any sense.
Or maybe I read it too much.
I need a prologue so I can set the tone of the story, but due to it being a slow burn, vol 1 won't even cover any military combat.

The concept isn't bad, i realy like. But the execution is mid.
There is way too much exposition and too many forced references.
Most of what is said in chapter one can be cut out, and nothing would change.

The story feels like it's in the middle while being at the start; after the prologue, if we jump to adult Kito, then over time we get flashbacks of his past, then I wouldn't have a problem, but right now it reads like you should know what is going on.

That is bad for Vol 1.

This might be a pet peeve, but it forces creol. ,

Personally, as a Jamaican author, just stick to one, either English or Creole. It feels odd when reading.

Also, don't try to force weird stuff; if stepping on someone Clarke's is not important to the story, don't add it; it's a waste.

That's all the problems I have with this story, but as their first Manga, it's not bad; just hope this is a common complaint so they can fix these mistakes in their later Volums.

Oh, one last thing: it doesn't carry itself as a serious story, as it jumps up and down in the plot.

The irony is that this is grounded.
Ghost has a literal ghost mask, but whatever.

The image shows a slick rig, coms, and valid camouflage.
It doesn't get any more military than that.

Yeah, it's an Arangatan, but it's still military relistic beacuse he/she loaudate is valid.

The camo looks like the South African S2000 pattern.

I would rock this skin.

Prologue

The sky darkened as explosions outshone the fading sun.

 Private Dale stood in the dry trench as his machine gun chattered,  kicking up dust as bullets disappeared into the treeline 20 meters away.

His machine gun clicked

“Ammo! I need—”
“Graaaargh!”
A sound ripped from the forest. 

Private Dale, eyes shot open,  his hands stiffened as blood poured from his fingertips, his skin moved with a ripple-wave rhythm.

“Ammo, Here!” A tense soldier tapped Dale on the shoulder. He fell to the ground, stiff as if metal replaced his bones. Blood filled his eyes, a coin-sized hole sitting in the centre of his head.

“What the shit. Hey! Man down, we need a medic!”

I really don't know what I'm doing; umm, I use Claude and Notebook LM to give feedback before I send it to a human for final evaluation. Well, some people did read it and gave it a 5 out of ten.

But as the author, I really don't think it's good.

The tone feels off, and I don't see the image I am trying to portray.

>“What the shit.

This will break your immersion if you had any.

I want more sensory stuff, but at the same time, IRL war is not slow; especially a battle like this, it's literally the middle of an alien invasion.

This prologue takes place 3 hours after they attacked Earth

It was a dark time for humans in my story.
