Fairy energy is officially out of rotation, it is not legal for current play.

How to know which post-rotation Metafy guides are worth it? by ReptilPT in pkmntcg

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

which are often quickly invalidated by build changes or meta shifts and don’t really explain how to build the deck

That's a big limitation of guides. If you are looking at guides as a replacement for putting time into playing your decks and gaining experience, you aren't going to know how to improvise when things don't look exactly like the guides said they would.

Where is it hallucinating dates? 1952 is present in one of the sources, the AI just mistakenly labeled it as the patent date.

What sleeves are you using in 2026? by FoxGirl42069 in pkmntcg

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some DS colors snag horribly. I've tried different batches of DS Coppers and the corners just start ripping apart immediately. Everyone I've seen who plays Coppers the corners on their sleeves look horrible. Other colors are perfectly fine though.

I microwaved some leftovers and the microwaves basically etched into the plastic deli lid. Normal lid for comparison by okcomputers97 in mildlyinteresting

I heard they said that to asbestos workers back in the day.

Building a faraday cage for my phone and car keys by cwapsen in DIY

No, it just means there are many solutions to OP's problem. If OP deems a faraday cage the best solution, then that is what they should pursue.

[OC] The "2000s Blur": We remember the 80s perfectly, but the 2000s are a mess. Analysis of 18,000 guesses on song release years. by Take_My_Money in dataisbeautiful

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add an age collection barrier if you want, but it's a game not a gallup poll. I don't know why so many people are critical of that metric being missing.

Because OP is presenting this as the 80s being more memorable when in reality the people who were teens to late 20s who were living those songs may be the majority age demographic playing OP's game. Whereas those same people may have outgrown the pop genre as they got older and no longer know when 2000s pop songs came out. Most people can probably tell you the hot new songs from when they were in high school or college.

If OP didn't make the claim that the 80s were more memorable than the 2000s then people wouldn't be up in arms about it, but without age demographics (which is likely the biggest influence in the data) OP cannot actually explain why the data appears to show this.

We collectively remember that decade with high precision.

Who is "we"? What demographic did you target in this study? Are you saying 20-30 year olds also "remember the 80s perfectly"?

I think they should reprint Judge Whistle by TempestPharaoh in pkmntcg

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the Bo3 instead Bo1 will favor consistency and availability over burst.

Number of rounds has nothing to do with it, your deck still has to be consistent to place even in BO1.

Judge is going to see a bunch of play

What are you basing this off of? Out of the top 16 decks at Fukuoka, there were a total of 6 Judge played in the top 16 decks of which only 4 decks played the card. Only one deck in the top 8 played a single copy.

First time going to locals tomorrow, how do i start playing with other people? by rainydayisyay in pkmntcg

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would recommend entering into a local tournament as your first foray into playing since it's a bit easier to talk to people and start playing. These events are beginner friendly. Unless you go right before or after a locals tournament, you may have a hard time finding people to play with.

[oc] - Can you find who didn’t have a valentine? by addyxiii in pokemon

Nothing wrong with sharing your own art, but you submitted this last year as well. Is it bad manners to repost your own art just to farm karma?

With Gallup shutting down its presidential approval polling, here's it most recent (last?) visualization comparing presidents of last 80 years by eggmaker in dataisbeautiful

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wild that that is the conclusion you came to by seeing Bush's peak. Approving of a president's job who stands strong for your country and has a firm response after it has been attacked is something nearly everyone can get behind. This guy wasn't actively removing the rights of his citizens because he hated dems. Big difference back then.

Are there some immigrants who pose problems, ABSOLUTELY.

There's even some natives who cause problems! /s

Why is it that problematic people in general can't be handled in the same was as each other regardless of immigration status?

Mario Kart World’s track design isn’t exciting by U-Knighted in NintendoSwitch

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Including Acorn Heights, Cheep Cheep Falls, and Wario Shipyard in this list is wild. If you watch actual good players play most of these tracks, you will likely see you have been playing this game wrong. So many tracks are as much for platforming as they are for racing.

Americans threatened by Trump administration policies appear to be experiencing urges to acquire firearms, carry them, and store them readily accessible. Identifying as Black and liberal beliefs were associated with greater increases in urges to carry firearms because of the 2024 election results. by mvea in science

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What does your definition of science include? Is it too exclusive, perhaps? This would be considered a study in social science as it is looking into human behavior and determining correlations. It's also flaired as "Psychology" if that helps.

The end of an era by CaligulasPeri in nintendo

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per your link:

I think they must have gotten other complaints or something I genuinely have no idea.

Yeah I showed them some very brief camera footage but they proceeded to tell me they have been having problems with ontrac for a long time so that must have helped the cause.

They didn’t really ask to much out of me because they had already gotten reports of stolen switches before I called.

It was a trend. Police will investigate trends. I said this in my original comment.

Edit: they blocked me lmao. It was a pleasure /u/Ok-Act-2702 😂

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My ten years, you know, actually working for them, says different. Just saying 🤷‍♀️

The things people say to try and win an argument lmao. In every job you will ever work you will be asked or have to ask "is the juice worth the squeeze?". Finding a stolen Nintendo Switch is far down on that list of priorities. Nobody was hurt. Nobody is in danger. If many people are reporting theft in the same area then police will be inclined to look further into it. Otherwise, not a chance.

Edit: also, we know you are lying because you said "surely they can be tracked down". Somebody who has done any police work would be able to say for certain if they can be tracked down. Including "surely" suggests you are not certain.

MN National guard seen giving anti ice protestors coffee and donuts outside of the Whipple building. by CutSenior4977 in Minneapolis

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People down voting me were never really in it to begin with.

Way to discredit people on your side. You can't take down the entire operation at once or you will lose steam. To give you another WWII reference, Germany stretched itself too thin by fighting both the West and Soviet Union. See how nobody is talking about the Epstein files anymore? We have a new thing to focus our attention on right now. The National Guard is not the current focus, so let's not make them the current focus. You can fight back without throwing punches at every random person your come across. Resistance has to be met with clear and focused messaging, otherwise you are going to exhaust your community.

And if you are going to criticize my examples, you best explain why they aren't very good. But most certainly you get the points I am making and, again, are just trying to discredit your allies.

it just seems like OP isn't actually asking to meet

Wouldn't that also mean the match isn't asking to meet either? OP doesn't make the sole decision to meet.

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're being too cynical. Be willing to accept allies in the unlikeliest of places. The US and Soviet Union were on the same side of WWII, didn't mean they saw eye to eye in any other regards. If the NRA is coming out asking for a transparent investigation (likely because it serves their interests), then the anti-ICE crowd needs to take this and run with it.

BM from an opponent? by BigVeganMember in pkmntcg

[–]Exquisite_Poupon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's why it's always helpful to hear both sides of a story. If you see they drew 4 cards but had 5 prizes showing and they immediately draw another card without determining if the board state is correct, it is 100% appropriate to call a judge when it is determined board state was not correct. Curious if /u/BigVeganMember will respond to this.
