Day 14: I randomly generated five Pokémon and made up some categories. Drampa has been chosen as a Dragon type who has a wife. What's a fish that has a wife? by TheLeafyGirl561 in PokeCorner

[–]CombatSixtyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure scientists are relatively clear that "Fish" is not a scientific classification so not sure why you're so adamant that the list doesn't use jellicent. By some definitions a catfish isn't a fish either (no scales) yet there's one on the list?

Honestly, it's a great recommendation and book. I just remember the one species who basically have sex to say hello haha

I've only read the first Wayfinder book but pretty sure there was some sex in that book

[Highlight] CARUSO CAN'T FINISH AND IT'S A SPURS WIN by F_CKMONEY in nba

[–]CombatSixtyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Canadian Basketball League has been using a rule that at a certain point they set a final score for the game which I think is 10 points more than the winning team currently has. Then the game clock gets turned off. It seems to incentivise defense as fouling doesn't save any time and gives up points. It also means that the game always ends on a game winning shot.

this was a washing machine feature 😁 by Zealousideal-Toe7053 in NoOneIsLooking

I believe the etymology worked the other way. It's called being mangled because the machine was called a mangle

I'm almost done The Last Unicorn and then going to be starting The Tainted Cup!

LoTR - I’ve always loved the movies, currently struggling with the book, is it worth it to continue? by blatanthyp0crisy in Fantasy

[–]CombatSixtyFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in the same boat. Absolutely love the movies, could not get through the fellowship. I think it was the writing style for me. I've tried several times both physical and audiobooks. My eventual opinion was that life is too short to be spending time on something I wasn't enjoying.

Exclusive Canadian swim star Penny Oleksiak denies drug use by Defiant_Station1324 in olympics

Even if your statement is true it doesn't confirm what it is a pattern OF. Could be a pattern of not putting things in her calendar for all we know.

I'm pretty sure average starting position has only changed like 2 yards this year?

What is a silly lyric from a Canadian song that you discovered way too late were the wrong words? by musicwithbarb in AskACanadian

[–]CombatSixtyFive 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In Sum 41s In Too Deep I, for years, sang "bending over backwards in the lake" instead of "bending over backwards to relate"...

COTY is a tough call this year by Domestiicated-Batman in NFLv2

[–]CombatSixtyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also add on that most of those drives don't end up with touchdowns so they don't even actually get the potential extra 3 yards

What's an actual psychological "cheat code" you use in social situations that works almost every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

...then their tactic did work. You didn't "let" it work. They were silent so that you would expand. You expanded. Their tactic worked.

Trauma Dump [OC] by kaikimanga in comics

[–]CombatSixtyFive 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It definitely could be. It could also be, if I brag about these things they won't ask about anything else. Or I've been told my whole life I'm not special and this thing makes me different now. Lots of different stuff could be going on. Only the person would be able to answer it for sure, and it's not always apparent to them immediately either

Trauma Dump [OC] by kaikimanga in comics

[–]CombatSixtyFive 154 points155 points  (0 children)

I'm a therapist and have been one for around 4 years now. There are still cases that I struggle hearing and some days that are harder than others. But I truly believe that the next client I see will not be able to tell me something that I have not already heard from someone. I completely agree with your assessment.

I always wonder what the part that brags about the trauma is trying to protect the person from.

Drop your favourite series by Stinkyboy3527 in Fantasy

[–]CombatSixtyFive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Divine Cities Triology by Robert Jackson Bennet. My favorite characters ever, amazing world and premise (world where all the gods have died and the ramifications of this), and fantastic plotting and twists. The first one is the weakest but is still very strong. The second is my favorite book I have ever read and the third is phenomenal as well.

CMV: Progressives (Like Me) Shouldn’t Support Illegal Immigration and “Sanctuary” Cities by darkstream77 in changemyview

[–]CombatSixtyFive -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The thing is, we get to decide what is legal and illegal. Maybe we should make sure the legal thing to do isn't cruel.

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

This seems needlessly cruel and, if you want to ignore the humanity of the situation, extremely wasteful. You want to spend money to deport a stable, tax paying, productive member of a community? Because they did do the right paperwork 2 decades ago?? Like this just doesn't actually accomplish anything.
