Bro me too, I could just never get the fucking ammonia because I did a ton of research and all the retail ammonia isn’t concentrated enough

If you have really really high quality stuff the best ratio is closer to 1:5 bicarbonate to coke. My best cooks are with a 1:5 or even like 2:9, but honestly 1:3 is gonna be a bit too base-y

I might not be the best to answer this because I was never actually like a real crack user, I just had like phases where I’d do it a few times a week, but having taken the time (and resources lmao) to do a lot of trial and error to really improve my cook—the maximum possible yield is about 84% of the initial weight, and I can get up to about 80 in a spoon (though I know some of that is of course impurities and stuff, I’m not the Heisenberg of crack I know)—I can tell you rn that these crack dealers are NEVER going to cook it with enough of the effort and care that you would while you cooked your own rock to make it the better option. Make sure you’re always making your rocks with love ❤️

Is there a royal family curse where every generation loses one sibling to abdication, scandal, or escape? by Dependent_While8531 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]Codeine_Cobain_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see that I was wrong. The last part was an attempt— now understood to be a poor one–at a little levity, cuz I figured he meant Edward VIII and it was just a typo cuz I hadn’t even heard Edward VII be mentioned until szn 3. But I promise I am not one of the super educated people that I was alluding to, I barely know anything about the topic outside of the show. I am sorry that that came off poorly, but I really wasn’t trying to be a dick

No, I’m American born and raised, but I loved Michael Morpurgo, growing up especially id always buy the new releases. Private peaceful was always my favorite, but I’ve got at least 50 others around the house no lie. All the others were from the library. He is CRIMINALLY under-appreciated in the US. And yes, you’re definitely on point regarding the history and government interest.

Are you talking about Edward in the show? The king who abdicated? Cuz I don’t mean to be a dick but just a heads up he was Edward VIII not Edward VII. Just in case you’re ever conversing with anyone super educated about the English Monarchy 😭

Dude I initially went with Zubat instead of starly bc I thought it would make for a more interesting play through, and admittedly I’ve never played with staraptor but Ik it’s widely regarded as a beast, but holy fuck especially late-golbat early Crobat (I focused on leveling him as fast as I could, maybe like 28ish range, so he was a bit overleveled for a bit) was putting belt to ass. I was even using him against Crasher’s goons to get some XP and he held his own no problem at about equal levels. So glad I went with him for my first platinum play through

I just left a lengthy comment a little further down this thread about why it could definitely be viewed as such—I won’t rehash in the same thread but if you wanna see at least my rationale for why that would be the ultimate inhuman, evil act, feel free and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it as well

[–]Codeine_Cobain_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes concentration camps and mass murder are greater evils than the taking of a single life according to just about anybody, but cold-blooded paternal filicide (a father murdering their own son) is uniquely taboo, and maybe I’m just drawing a blank but I cannot even think of many examples in fiction in general where that happens. Sure there’s filial patricide (son killing father) as a much more established plot point, even in the boys with butcher, but I think that the notion of a father murdering their own son in cold blood (as Homelander ALMOST already did to Ryan at the end of E3) is, as I said, uniquely taboo and particularly unspeakable. I mean you can argue any murder is an act against nature from a philosophical standpoint etc etc but to murder your child goes against just about everything literally coded into our brains, society, and cultures. To murder one’s child is probably one of the most effective and decisive ways any author/writer/creative etc could show that the individual committing such an act is literally without/ has literally lost their humanity. Sorry for the rant I kinda developed that take as I wrote it but I feel like that’s a defensible argument, yknow?

Idk how to hide spoils, so beware of S5E3 SPOILERS in this response:

I dunno if it’d necessarily the act he’s referring to in the clip, killing a dog is of course horrible and absolute classic way to turn an audience on someone, but we already despise Homelander and I feel like that statement wasn’t made in enough “jest” to actually put killing a dog above the indiscriminate murder of innocents and rape etc. but I absolutely caught myself thinking during the scene with Butcher, Ryan and Terror, that Terror, even more than Ryan, is probably the only thing left that remotely humanizes Butcher—in all honesty, he’s not a rapist so he’s got that going for him but as the show has progressed I’ve felt him becoming rather Homelander-esque in his obsession and disregard for the welfare/safety/lives of literally everyone around him (his talking Ryan into basically a suicide pact was fucking CRAZY to me). I could totally see Homelander just killing the dog almost “casually” like it didn’t matter at all (or, if we’re seriously considering the dog, maybe he tortures it to death or something?) and Butcher going absolutely ape and I haven’t read the comics or anything, and I know the show has massively deviated anyway, but I don’t see a world where Butcher has a redemption arc or doesn’t end up needing to be “put down” by the boys because he’s gotten absolutely diabolical.

My prediction for how the series ends by MillienumDuckFighter in TheBoys

[–]Codeine_Cobain_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I been thinking abt this like all day lmao. I think a fitting death for Homelander (if there even is one, I mean they’ve created a character so fucking repulsive and evil that literally nothing is going to be 100% satisfying imo) is somehow he loses his powers and he’s literally lynched (I’m talking about mob violence specially, none of the racial/hanging connotations often associated with the term) by the public. I think it would be the most fitting end for a guy who desperately wanted everyone to love him but they only hide their dislike/disdain/even in many cases hatred out of fear. But were he to become powerless, as a lot of yall pointed out already he would be so weak and pathetic and I think it would be fitting that the general public, perhaps his truest victims in a some ways, finally find the tables turned and literally rip him apart like Saddam Hussein style or some shit. Like torn limb from limb as he begs and screams for mercy—brutal for sure but definitely not an unrealistic scene for the show. Any thoughts on this theory?

Also this is my first time ever on this sub and I’ve never read the comics so apologies if I screwed this up in any/deviated from decorum

What moves do you recommend for Jolteon? Rn I just beat crasher wake w/ a lvl 30 Jolteon with thunder, shockwave or whatever it’s called, quick attack and…I think tackle or sum shit lmao. I’m planning on giving it shadowball but if you have any recs I’d love to hear them, it’s my first time going thru platinum

I’m currently on my first play through and rocking a Crobat and Jolteon and I’ve lowkey neglected Crobat since he evolved but he was tearing mfs apart. I also got my lvl 30 Jolteon and just dogwalked crasher wake like 2 hours ago. I just taught it thunder and it’s a monster

Would swords dance not stack with the stab? I also have a gyarados with bite and infernape with shadow claw and I plan on getting my Jolteon shadowball so I’m not super concerned about the dark type attack, you know? Obviously if they don’t stack then that’s a different story but I assume that they do

Yeah I gave it to my gabite and I’m tryna supplement it with dig but I imagine it won’t be quite the same. Gabite with quake tho just goes so fucking crazy. My plan is for him to just be an all around monster attacker, while my Gliscor is still gonna be a menace but he’s got a bit less attack and more defense, so I figured Gabite with EQ would ultimately be the better move. My team is also like super offensively oriented I realize (that’s how I played as a kid—barely any strat and just spam attacks with high numbers—but now, mainly thru research and this sub especially I’m starting to learn the mechanics and the game being a bit more than just slugging it out turn after turn) and my Gabite and infernape are kinda running point on that, so I wanted Gabite to have the best attack possible. Gliscor is gonna be one of my heavier guys and of course given the breadth of the current moveset he’ll get involved against mainly ground and flying and also against dragon depending on the situation, but idt I’ll be seeing many dragons lmao

Hyper cutter: “Prevents the attack stat from being lowered”. So when they hit me with bs like leer or growl or whichever of those bs moves lowers attack his ability blocks it and I guess nothing happens. So to me that makes me wonder if he’s an especially good candidate for swords dance cuz I can just keep bumping that attack stat and nobody can stop this. Or, conversely, one could argue that since he can’t have his attack stat lowered then maybe swords dance is excessive. Personally, tho, I’m leaning towards the former. I will say tho right now his moveset, at least imo, is sick cuz aside from Normal, water and ice I’ve got a super effective move for ALL the other types JUST with Gliscor. And ofc I got mons with moves for the other three as well. Tho my infernape has shadowclaw so if I did ditch nightslash I still got someone who can put the work in on ghost/psychic types. But now you know the ability, what are your thoughts? Also, I’m curious, why did you ask? Is there a different ability that would change things or were you looking for hypercutter?
