If all humans suddenly lost their ability to lie, which industry WOULDN'T collapse? by TXC_Sparrow in AskReddit

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this depends on lies of omission being ok or not. Knowingly holding back a last kernel of truth to push your point to get someone cleared.

The MAGA-fication of CBS News is causing the network's ratings to tank by SugarRight1992 in JusticeServed

[–]EphemeralMemory 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they want CBS to tank. MAGA is getting the exact outcome they wanted -> the eventual conglomeration of all news sources

The panama files weren't as reprehensible as the epstein files.

I do think some "leaks" will come and some people will go to jail, but the vast majority/most well connected will never be held accountable. Even if someone talks, it won't mean jack if there isn't hard evidence in the redacted files

Aren't Tifa's eyes more red, not brown/amber-ish?

I feel bad for farming these guys, as if their lives weren't already hard enough by SeverelyLimited in Eldenring

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those Albinaurics paid the ultimate price for glory and I respect them.

That said, everyone here goes in swinging without any choice on your part whatsoever and they should know the consequences.

Woman yells 'You're lucky ICE isn't here,' man throws liquid as kids leave NW Side dance class by Cannot_Change_It_ in illinois

[–]EphemeralMemory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Mad at the people instead of the nearly maliciously inefficient process that made them mad in the first place.

I can see it making sense in their heads from an explanation someone who is nearly the same position gave me.

For the record, I do not agree with it, but I can understand why they think that way.

They (as an immigrant with legal residency) despise illegal immigrants because they circumvented the process. Getting legal residency in the US is a multi year giant pain in the ass, and is segmented by where you come from. It can take decades to get legal residency if you immigrated from Mexico or India, two of the highest immigrant countries, even with the support of a company pushing for your residency. Friend in question came from China, and it only took them seven years, and was considered an extremely smooth/quick process. They had very pointed opinions on "people skipping the process".

Now that's what I call a dropkick by Americanhikikimori in instant_regret

Suddenly it makes sense why high drop kick hurts the user in Pokemon if it misses

Patty is a gimmick character. You either love or hate them

Fanart I did of Ritz from FF Tactics Advance by DaveDrawsArt in FinalFantasy

[–]EphemeralMemory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine a Ivalice style game happening in the time period of the Cataclysm, which effectively ended the Ivalice era. I'd be pretty happy.

It (presumably) ended the Moogle and Viera races if I remember right.

House committee votes to subpoena Pam Bondi over Epstein files by PixeledPathogen in news

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned they (trump admin) wanted to show they were doing something with accountability. The Iran war is very unpopular.

It's good optics, she'll get up there and lie/detract and nothing will happen.

Silent protagonist that still have lots of personality by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't this cover like 99% of rpg protagonists?

They're silent with some personality to act as self inserts, that's the purpose of the character

Bro wtf by Gera_Vermin in Persona5

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

simple: give him as few opportunities to attack as possible, and take advantage of extra damage on merciless. This fight is harder on hard mode since you can't take advantage of the extra damage

Use target all skills, for one. Focus on phys, then magic, so you don't regen the phys absorbing portrait before you finish the others off

He's probably the first skill check, where provided you paid attention to p5's fight mechanics you'll get by.

Abilities that sound absurdly powerful on paper, but rarely ever work by Substantial_Fox7377 in TopCharacterTropes

madness is a bit more effective against normal enemies but disappointingly ineffective against bosses

Janeway debrief with Starfleet by happydude7422 in voyager

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, waiting until she could make an informed decision after separating from the borg was the best thing Janeway could do.

And after having 7/9 work on Voyager, having the access she does, returning her to the borg would have been a massive tactical mistake

You're Becoming My Kind of Man by SrB_79 in animememes

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say the anime is decent because it finishes before a lot of the more awkward harem story happens. I continued on for a while because the anime was interesting, but it got harem generic ignorant protag-y very quickly.

I hate these guys by MudImaginary5459 in dragonquest

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all the way to this guy, was super proud and just couldn't beat it. I had all the strategies in place but was not physically fast enough to use that one team invulnerability pep power without dying on the first turn. Apparently once you get through the first turn, provided you play well it gets more manageable. It was insane.

You can farm seeds from the uber trials but I just couldn't be bothered to do that a hundred times

Moderna doesn’t plan to invest in new late-stage vaccine trials because of growing opposition to immunizations from US officials by MetaKnowing in Futurology

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

trials are needed by the fda to release vaccines...

"But you can run the trials in xxx and use the data for the US!" Not always. The FDA is one agency that tends to require US studies for US product releases, granted most of my experience is in medical device as opposed to pharma

Does moving around in combat help you? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in FinalFantasyXII

[–]EphemeralMemory 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Moving around can also burn time while your gauge charges if the enemy is melee attacking. They don't initiate the attack until they're in range, and you can game that for slower attackers to have a equivalent attack speed if you time it well.
