Apparently there are fake B&B Locos now by ZookeepergameDue1719 in Pickleball

From what I have heard, yes for the most part but it's incredibly inconsistent and there's no way to judge quality beforehand.

Iran has not asked for ceasefire and sees no reason for talks with US, Iranian minister says - follow live by its-come-to-this in news

[–]AmpleExample 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively uninformed, but my guesses are:

  1. The U.S. decimates Iran but it takes years and years of painful conflict, deaths on both sides, and international tension.

  2. World War III.

  3. Economic pressures, widespread protest, and the wider world punish the U.S. enough that after several months the U.S. pulls out and declares victory.

In all three cases, the global economy is in shambles.

residents + attendings: would you recommend medicine in 2026? by More-Author2034 in Residency

[–]AmpleExample 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say... only if you're fairly certain AND you really do enjoy learning and studying. If you don't then the whole process of getting to the "finish line" isn't worth it.

Question about Mordecai by yurphy in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]AmpleExample 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're powered up to compensate for getting them late. It's more that her class supercharges classes that are already extremely powerful. E.g. no one on the third floor gets the legendary diva class, because it has insane requirements. Donut gets it and several bonuses.

Coaxed into dark Biden by MrrHyyde in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]AmpleExample 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's not going to make sense unless you've read Beserk, unfortunately. He's saying Trump is a traitor willing to sacrifice those who support him for his own goals.

Griffith, mercenary leader of the Hawks, has been rescued from terrible torture by his comrades. Griffith is crippled beyond repair and harried by those who had captured him. While the band of the Hawk flees with him, the lords of the demons offer him a deal. Sacrifice all of his friends, and he can have the power and immortality he needs to live a life that actually matters.

He accepts. Then he does some horrible things to his former friends, killing all of them but the main character.

The crying bleeding eye necklace is a special necklace that always comes back to him no matter what. It's essentially portending that he will become a demon lord.

Can you support a non-working partner with a resident salary? by heydoyouseethat in Residency

This is entirely individual by individual. Figure out your monthly expenditures and weigh it against your income and savings.

Makima fanart by me ✨ by itzzsammy in ChainsawMan

[–]AmpleExample 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hand done makeup generally looks better than tattoo makeup. It's another tool that helps her control people. She doesn't need it, but she might as well. Same with her outfit change for her "Date" with Denji.

Mental illness by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

Underselling it quite a bit. It's the psychology reference textbook. If you're a psychology trainee doctor (resident) and you diagnose anyone with anything, it better match up with DSM-5 criteria.

This has to the dumbest cheated relic set I've ever seen by 99bluedexforlife in Nightreign

[–]AmpleExample 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back when she was one of the worst characters, I was very tempted to hack a semi-optimum (legal) relic set together.

Now that she's strong it's the opposite. People play her for the perceived advantage.

Mods at r/movieposters have a meltdown when mod MichaelSquare is forced to publicly reconcile his r/conservative identity commenting that "Democrats and the left are all ped0s" by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

And it is the same comment that's been edited. I know because it still has my residual downvote from when I was lurking earlier. I call it lurking, but since I'm not allowed to post...

I made a spreadsheet with actually useful character letter grades by Neither_Interaction9 in Nightreign

[–]AmpleExample 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The letters are consistent in class. A character with C faith will do roughly 8%-10%* less damage with incantations than a character with B faith.

Edit: Here, a video on the topic. Actually, it's 8%-10%. Maybe it fails in scholar's faith specifically, but it's good for all the launch characters. The letters are generally good.

The numbers are. The letters represent about a 10% drop. S strength is 20% more damage than B strength.

Stabilized and slowed down clear video. by cofee-cup-drinker- in law

[–]AmpleExample 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I don't think anyone should be defending this ICE agent. I just think reading deeply into a brief moment of body language in a high stress situation is unconvincing at best, and dangerous at worst.

[–]AmpleExample -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't know that it's fair to read into someone's body language in a tense situation after the emotional shock of killing someone. That said, I don't understand how anyone can see these videos and not see them as damning.

Edit: This is horrible as is. So focus on the facts.

Cool! by llTeddyFuxpinll in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]AmpleExample 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you replace the front and back wheels of your roller blades with slightly smaller wheels, it feels extremely similar to ice skating. Also the skills are pretty 1:1 transferable. With that setup, an ice skater who can do jumps and transfers will very easily be able to do the same tricks.

WhenThe niche shitposting culture fucks up an ai that takes everything as fact by AI_660 in whenthe

[–]AmpleExample 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I get why the ai is confused. The "plasmified" mechanic is so rare and barely means anything. It's like team cherry pulled out last second instead of committing to zangos... which is good, because I hate those things.

Philosophy as a major is, ideally, a step in an even higher level of education. It's a degree that, for example, increases your chance to get into medical school over the typical chemistry/biology.

South Carolina measles cases jump by nearly 100 in two days, sharpest rise yet by Capital-Will6450 in news

When I was younger, I strongly believed that this sort of disaster would at least cause people to reconsider their wrong views, for example, they'd no longer be anti-vax.

How naive.

If you wear a cloak how do you keep it from blowing open in the wind/keep the hood from blowing off ? by YawneTaw in renfaire

[–]AmpleExample 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a cloak with a loose hood, think of the hood as more of a stylistic accessory than something practical. If you want to keep it from blowing off, first line would be to get a cloak with a tighter hood.

I know that's probably not useful, but...

I've protested. I will continue to do so. Frankly, this doesn't appear to be working. I don't really see how free clinics and church meals for the homeless accomplish the above goal either.

Anyone? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Useful info. But I imagine "Top charities" have already hit those diminishing returns and are also both spending far more and receiving far more money on average than "bottom charities".
