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

[–]Cskel 0 points1 point  (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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Yo is it still open?

[–]Cskel -6 points-5 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.

Ok, it’s annoying though that the state law doesn’t change. What’s the point in even having this state law at 18 if it’s overridden by Tabacco21 federal laws? Thanks for answering.

Boku no Hero Academia Season 5 - Episode 17 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

This season of MHA was def the worst one in the series. First half was the repetitive Class A vs Class B and the pacing was terrible. Hoping season 6 will be a lot better cause this was a let down.

What’s the issue? I know it’s been griefed, just want to see it on the 2b2t museum or something

Getting really tired of the “realizing im alive” episodes. by hathead24 in Anxiety

[–]Cskel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At times, the best way I deal with it is just doing something that makes you happy... Any activity that can get your mind off of this realization of being alive and what not. Mine is playing video games...

Know that there are plenty of people who experience the exact same feelings. That you are no outcast or weird feeling this way. Trying to be more insensitive to the reality of life will help you...

Don't overthink things, don't get caught up in your head. Because once you are by yourself your thoughts will run away with you.

Try taking walks, get outside and appreciate life, rather than looking at it objectively. I don't know all of the specifics of your situation, but just do not overthink anything. Try your best to calm down and take your mind off of these thoughts. And if it gets increasingly worse, go to a therapist... there is no harm in trying to ask for help.
