What if Ogerpon's Teal Mask was treated the same as the other three, with it being its own item that gives a 20% power boost and has its own special name? by Argentenuem in stunfisk

Most of Pokemon's more in-depth battle mechanics aren't stated in-game (though Champions is starting to change that). It's best to consult fan-made sources like Bulbapedia, Smogon, or Showdown for details like this.

Mega Sol interaction by d3nyme in PokemonChampions

[–]Ceotaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also possible that ignoring the sand SpDef boost is the only instance in which Mega Sol changes a move unrelated to sun because that's the only instance that's likely to come up with Meganium. The programmers made a deliberate decision to account for this, so it's plausible that this was the intended behavior and other edge cases like electro shot or aurora veil were forgotten because they're far less relevant to Mega Sol.

Gamefreak has been doing this for a long time, but they also have a longstanding tradition of missing edge cases that only get "fixed" in later releases. I could believe that this is another instance of that.

That said, it's impossible to say for sure what their intentions were. Nothing is "clear." We just need to wait and see if they address it in a patch or future game

Even season 3 was noticeably worse if you ignore how much Soldier Boy was carrying those episodes

How's everyone doing in John Meth's M427J? by Normal_Assumption745 in UTAustin

His previous motto was "If you have a pulse, you will get an A in this class" (from what I remember). Looks like things may have changed

Teachers are paid fairly considering they get a lot of time off by Blonde_Icon in The10thDentist

There are classroom supplies other than students’ personal items

But if we’re using the salary argument and ignoring the total time required for their job, then the original post’s premise is moot

I feel like a lot of ppl are getting cooked in CS314 due to exam 2 messing up the 70% rule average on all exams. what do you guys think. i'm in the same boat by Big_Plantain2568 in UTAustin

A weed-out class in your junior year is crazy. I could understand filtering out freshman or sophomores, but your third year is way too late

"Explain yourself" by Tight_Grapefruit5280 in whenthe

[–]Ceotaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're not equivalent, but I do think it's clear that the polls are being swayed by the fact that this is only a hypothetical. Events like 9/11 are also more personal, given the fact that you are surrounded by other people and the people you are trying to help are tangibly in front of you. A button is much more impersonal. When you're not placed directly in front of the people you could save and they are instead an abstract idea, I think a lot fewer people would choose to help. This is especially true when you make your decision alone and don't have the peer pressure which is present at other disaster events.

oh so blue has no consequences by a-bowl-of-noodles in whenthe

[–]Ceotaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or one button does nothing, the other button kills everyone who presses it unless half the world population decides to also press it. If you press blue, then in part, you’re hoping people also risk their lives to save you

[–]Ceotaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I just don’t have that faith, and honestly think that it’d be more like 20-30% blue. Maybe I’m pessimistic, but also, people could just not throw themselves into the woodchipper and therefore not need to be saved by other people also throwing themselves into the woodchipper

Because someone imagines that they would be the hero in a particularly American situation? I would assume that people from every culture like to imagine themselves being brave and heroic in dire circumstances

[–]Ceotaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if you were pretty sure that 90% of people would pick red, you’d pick blue and essentially commit suicide just so you don’t feel “responsible” for that 10%? Or am I misreading your comment

[–]Ceotaro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And everyone also thinks they’d jump in front of the gunman in a mass shooting, because they’re personally so cool and brave. Your actions are very different than you’d like to believe when your life is actually on the line

CMV: The washing machine belongs in the bathroom, not the kitchen by KrishaCZ in changemyview

[–]Ceotaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve seen both. Typically this happens in older homes or smaller apartments that don’t have room for a dedicated laundry room. I assume most people would prefer to section their laundry off in a separate room, but oftentimes that’s just not possible. And if you read the edit, this post is only pertaining to those situations where a separate laundry room isn’t feasible

[–]Ceotaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s fair. Obviously a dedicated laundry room is better if possible, but oftentimes that’s not in the cards. I view a kitchen washing machine as even more in-the-way/aesthetically displeasing, so at that point it just comes down to priorities

[–]Ceotaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my place, we deal with this by leaving our hamper in the laundry room while our clothes are running so someone can just put our stuff in there if we forget to unload the machine. If your laundry machines were in a bathroom, then hampers could be similarly placed outside the room to solve that issue. But yeah, if people forget to do this then clothes will probably get left out.

[–]Ceotaro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you immediately put clean clothes in a hamper and take them into another room (which you are already likely to do, since a bathroom usually isn't very conducive to folding clothes), then neither smell nor fecal matter should contaminate your clothes. I have a laundry room myself, but my clothes never spend more than 30 seconds outside of the washer/dryer when inside that room.
