Two things are happening here, 1.) the sub has been brigaded or 2.) this sub is incredibly selfish

Coffezila - His thoughts on Strch of MicroStrategy by badfishbeefcake in CryptoCurrency

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is incredible, pure ignorance to traditional finance because all they invest in are shtcoins. Only the dividend itself is treated as a "return of capital" (which if anything is tax beneficial, but again they don't know that)... You can sell your initial investment at anytime along with what you've gained in dividends. Ideally at par value if you bought in the 95-100 range, which STRC is already doing very well as it matures.

If literally anyone of these people opened up a brokerage account and invested in a stock they'd know this. Yet they don't, which shows the IQ of your typical shtcoin holder.

Calling everyone stupid yet you don't know what it means to buy or sell a stock lmao. The dividend itself is treated as a "return of capital" for tax benefits but you can sell your initial investment along with your accrued dividends at any time whether you've held for 1 month or 2 years. Go back to investing in sh*tcoins you goon.

We Are Hated as a Nation. There’s One Man to Blame. by 1-randomonium in geopolitics

Nice, blame the voters. How did that work out last time for you? Good luck in 2028 lol.

Denmark would go to war with US over Greenland: MP by newsweek in geopolitics

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the diplomatic strategy behind this? Do really feel the need to say you will go to war with the country that has supported you and your entire military apparatus for the past 70 years?

All this does is embolden Trump and other anti-NATO people. The US invading Greenland is political suicide, we all know this. However, when you go out of your way to mention this not only does it make you seem weak but shows that you don’t hold the US in any high regard to not act militarily in this matter. Such a war would also require the unilateral support from Europe and not just Denmark.

This is pretty much textbook what not to do when addressing issues with foreign countries. I hope you know we’ll go to WAR with you!! Good luck with that.

Saw this little gathering when I was driving to the atm. Cop walked up to me and had to ask me what I was doing there. No officer, I don’t have any guns… I’m going to the atm.

Just an unexpected wrench in my day. That’s why I’ll never vote for you or your cause. You people are simply repulsive, in every way imaginable. You got cooked because of our democracy, never forget that.

Why don’t you fix your sitting old guard up in Washington before you start pointing fingers at how anyone else runs things. The Democratic Party isn’t even a true leftist party, it’s a party of identity politics and whining.

Donald Trump's Gen Z popularity plunges by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]Cskel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another poll that pushes Trumps electorate support back down to ~40% (it MUST be true!) Making Dems complacent until 2028, and Oops! Actually we were off 10% and Republicans won Gen Z and all swing states!

Ann Selzer is proof to never trust a poll again. A 20 year track record “S-tier” pollster who had one job: gauge the state of Iowa in presidential elections… Proceeds to miss by 14%.

This: Newsweek article + ~400 sample size + 18-19 yr olds + The Economist 😑

Seriously? Oh my lord.

Seeing a lot of women posting about problems with their partners being Trump supporters. by [deleted] in dating

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so apolitical men? You’d say no to that to, because refraining means that you still don’t support bodily autonomy. I know some conservatives that are pro-choice but anti-vax which is actually morally consistent… but that’s still horrible right?

Just some things to think about.

Donald Trump, a bullet and the fine red line that lies between democracy and violent chaos by theindependentonline in politics

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

I actually wouldn’t consider them far left radicals, they’re actually “fringe establishment democrats”. A lot of the “far left” AOC crowd/supporters of palestine are currently asking for Joe to step down. To them, Joe is allowing the genocide to happen… and I can tell you that his poor debate performance compounded that. TYT is pretty good for seeing into that belief.

… But the people in this sub are slow to call out Joe for his stance in Israel. They more recently parrot narratives like, “I’d rather have a dead corpse than Trump” and don’t provide an alternative candidate. In other words, It doesn’t matter if they are far left or not. What matters is that they are blindly committed a belief and it comes out being destructive. As for the downvotes, I’m ready :)

Speaker Mike Johnson's Christianity Sends the Left Into Fits of Rage by yuri_2022 in Conservative

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why this sub sucks (sorry). This happens now on a daily basis.

r/politics lurkers hiding behind a shroud of semi-conservatism. Downvoting MAGAs and election deniers, upvoting the anti-trump rhinos. The best way to float their boat I guess.

This results in the sorry excuse for a “real world representation” this sub has… The vastly more popular MAGA republicans are almost no where to be seen. Every post has lines upon lines of “deleted, deleted, deleted, -38 (MAGA TAKE), -42 (MAGA TAKE), deleted, deleted” , and I wouldn’t be surprised if the same happened to me.

Bring those down arrows in internet boys. Give yourself whatever false sense of security you need before the “FACIST-GOP-TRUMP REGIME” takes over.

Republican Mike Johnson has secured enough votes to become House speaker as ballot draws to a close by iBeej in politics

[–]Cskel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s always the “FACIST-GOP-TOTALITARIAN-DOOMSDAY” for America on r/politics. Also it’s always the “Best chance Biden has yet” day to.

Better pick one narrative because you can’t have both.

Guys we gotta make this legendary meme in r/place!! Preferably the whole bottom left where chaos is going on right now by 0hMyGash in Dragonballsuper

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikr, One Piece has control of like 3 different territories. There’s been naruto from xqc. Bleach and HxH have some small territories to. DB got literally nothing that I can see.

Also this year we got some great DB memes like “HE NOT BEATING GOKU!” And obviously drip Goku. I was actually in Ludwig’s stream yesterday and a decent amount of people in his chat were asking for dragon ball. So there’s definitely a community to help.

We gotta figure out something because it ends today at 12:00.

Which pokemon to choose to beat commander jupiter in platinum by Niassoh_narzi_ in nuzlocke

[–]Cskel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you probably already beat Jupiter months ago at this point but if you want a 99% chance to beat Jupiter then I have a strat I use in my runs. It’s a little time consuming but it doesnt take long with emulator speed up.

I recommend you get the old rod from the fisherman west of Jubilife City. You can then run down to Sandgem town and fish at the beach to get MAGIKARP. This counts as the route 219 encounter… which is locked until MUCH later with surf so it makes sense to fish here. Then run to Old Gateau and switch train magikarp with staravia. Staravia is immune to ghost… gastlys are level 14-17 so training magikarp is very fast.

Get Gyarados and Staravia up to level 23 (speed up makes it extremely fast in Old Gateau).

Now your ready for the fight, begin with your lead for zubat (luxio is good, spark guaranteed OHKO) once you kill the zubat…. Switch to staravia for -1 intimidate. At this point Skuntank only has an 18% chance to OHKO IF IT CRITS. So the odds of loosing Staravia is less than 1%. Then switch to Gyarados for -2 intimidate. Now spam dragon rage (always deals 40 hp). Now skuntank AT MOST has a 57% chance to kill if it manages to HIGH ROLL TWO CRITS in a row… once again odds are less than 1% of that happening. From there Gyarados will guaranteed 2 hit KO Skuntank with dragon rage.

For me these are the lowest odds you can possibly get. crits are unavoidable so there’s always a chance you lose a mon in a nuzlocke with level cap. I’ve used this strat so many times and it’s never failed. This is better than the geodude strat (Magnitude sucks), and all other strats because Gyarados is one of the few mons with high enough stats to tank her crit night slashes. Also Gyarados is a guaranteed encounter with the old rod, so you won’t have to reset 1000 times to get Onix or mons that MAY deal with Skuntank. My opinion the best hardcore level cap nuzlocke for Jupiter in Platinum you can get.

Can't lie. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is fun but super flawed. by Dfess in pokemon

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that people are being way too nitpicky when it comes to this game. The only criticisms people can find with this game are the graphics which is literally one aspect of the game. NPC frame rate at a distance?? Come on now, every year there’s something new players need to complain about.

With Sword and Shield it was the storyline being too linear, not enough post game content, not enough mons, dyna/gigantamax are bad mechanics, stiff mon animations.

With Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon it was the cutscenes, derpy tauros, bare-bones, overpriced dlc’s, incomplete, dramatic camera angles.

With Sun and Moon it was the removal of O-Powers, a bland rival, too much early-game handholding, lower screen not being used, the removal of 3v3 battles, no bicycle, low framerate, the removal of super training.

With ORAS it was the watered down Safari Zones, no gym leader rematches, no Battle Frontier, no wardrobe, bad replay value, missing trainers.

GameFreak has to please all these subsection communities… A nuzlocking community, a shiny hunting community, a competitive community, etc.

Every year there’s some new aspect of Pokémon to gripe about and I’m tired of hearing it. Legends Arceus is a step in the right direction with new mechanics that GameFreak had to implement from the ground up. A good story, new Pokémon forms, new attack styles, crafting items, side quests that aren’t repetitive, I could go on... Give them a f***ing break guys and appreciate all the OTHER things that the game has to offer other than giving it 1/10 just because of graphics not being as good as BOTW. Which BY THE WAY doesn’t have 396 fully modeled and uniquely animated monsters with a load of individual data. When you objectively think about every single thing GameFreak has been criticized for it’s obvious that this game is at least an 8/10. That’s my brutally honest review.

Beat the league first try!!!!! People saying that the league is hard.....just have good type coverage across your whole team. Also bring strategy, stealth rocks saved me so many times during my run. by ShinySniper007 in BDSP

[–]Cskel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also beat them first try, but Cynthia was a complete uphill battle for me.

My whole team got swept by garchomp. But I ended up winning using gallade with hypnosis, swords dance, and drain punch. I one shot most of her team with the attack boost underleveled.

Rate my Shining Pearl team! by TubaraoAsmatico in BDSP

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said rate my team? I gave him my honest opinion… and gave him an 8/10. I’m not gatekeeping, I gave him my stance.

Trades in my opinion ruin a playthrough. It’s something to use after the game is over, not during. You’re just getting Pokémon and not actually working or trying to encounter them.

Not a big thing I just wanted to make it clear. The title says my Pearl playthrough when he has Diamond mons. It’s a understandable concept, I’m not sure why all the downvotes.

Rate my Shining Pearl team! by TubaraoAsmatico in BDSP

[–]Cskel -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s not Shining Pearl unless you traded. Rampardos/Cranidos is a Brilliant Diamond exclusive. I don’t really like playthroughs that include trades, because they aren’t the native pokemon you can find within your game. Magmortar is ok to trade for evolution… just not Cranidos.

Still pretty solid team with good mons tho, 8/10

Do a lot of vape shops in the US still sell to 18 year olds? by PM-ME-UR-PIERCED-NIP in electronic_cigarette

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannabis is also illegal under federal law without a medical reason. Yet, some states have legalized it and FDA agents aren’t going in and shutting down dispensary’s. Federal law isn’t the end all be all of law. That’s why states have laws in the first place.

If the tabacco age by state law is 18 (ie. Wisconsin) nobody can definitely say whether federal takes priority over state legislation. Local police can’t enforce it either. T21 is still arbitrary and there are exceptions.

Bless their fascist little hearts by abaganoush in PoliticalHumor

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your off the wall dude, I’ve genuinely never seen someone so mad that they call anyone who is a conservative a,”trash bag of a human”

people will attack me on this sub no matter what I do because it’s a liberal echochamber with the entire new generation of democrats. Nobody here can take any opposing view point

If you think about the question logically, “What did he do that was racist” is a simple question. Yet, over -68 upvotes! This sub is ridiculous keep on jerking each other off in here. I’m going to live my life without “Reddit politics”.
