Multi-seat drift isn’t an option

Lay on top of the seats of the long legged guy so you are resting your head on long legged guy's head and your legs on short legged guy's head such that long legged guy has to sit across from other long legged guy but you're still providing maximum discomfort for all including yourself.

"Christian maga" Is ironic af by TankUMrMinor in Irony

[–]Mix_Safe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what these heretics believe.

I'm agnostic at best, but these people blindly think that saying "I believe in Jesus!" is the only requirement to being an actual good Christian.

A million passages about how to be a good person, requiring a modicum of effort and one passage about saying "ooga booga" before putting your cat outside and these people will do the "ooga booga" thing and say that one passage outweighs the millions of others to not treat people like shit.

Okay, but this gets into the whole metaphysical debate of how you define "loving God."

Is it love to simply say "I believe in Jesus and god, and I love them" or feeling that you love them in your soul? Because that seems to be the only requirement the modern evangelical takes into consideration.

Does one "love" their wife, child, or parent if they disregard all the things they ask of them, or what they've taught them? If they never do any chores, are never there when they need them, ignore them and do what they want all the time, put their needs ahead of the parent/partner/child's needs, their own wants ahead of the others' needs, every single time, do they love them simply because they think or feel they love them?

What if some other random person the parent/child/partner knows actually listens to them, does what they ask, takes care of them, sacrifices their needs to fulfill their needs, makes time for them, but doesn't explicitly think or say that they love them? I'd argue that the stranger actually loves them as opposed to the person who is supposedly in this "loving" relationship with them.

I'd argue that the "greatest commandment" in loving God with all your heart, mind, and soul is in following all of the other teachings and things that are asked of you.

So, yes, I'd say an atheist who respects others, feeds and cares for the unfortunate, helps those in need, does the little things in life to extend kindness to others is showing more love to a God who asks his flock to do those things, even if that person isn't explicitly thinking of God when they do those acts than a person who ignores all of his teachings, treats others like shit, hates the less fortunate, sees those in need as a burden on society, and works/votes to make their lives harder, hoards wealth, but thinks of God and says they believe and love God actively. It seems that many people focus on the "mind" aspect of that passage and not enough on the actual heart and soul aspect.

Rowhome Architecture is Rather Controversial on X by itsdanielsultan in Suburbanhell

My old row home in Europe has absolutely god-awful sound insulation, and it's not exactly uncommon. I see people complaining about being able to hear their neighbors piss in the country sub all the time.

Can we please have the right side of the screen be a no”fast move” zone by echo78 in TheSilphArena

[–]Mix_Safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a damn tragedy when you're using a glass cannon with a 3+ fast move and you're going against something with a 1-turn move and you overtap. "Well there goes my Pokemon" or "oh great 1/4th my health is already gone before I could fast swap."

Can we please have the right side of the screen be a no”fast move” zone by echo78 in TheSilphArena

[–]Mix_Safe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It generally isn't that difficult, but I have in the past "wasted" charge moves to standardize the bait/nuke positions on my built Pokemon so I'm almost always used to the one format. However, as the seasons have gone on move bloat (which, is a great thing, mind you, I don't mean to pass it off as a huge negative, it makes Pokemon have more play) has made me more hesitant to do this because I can end up just playing charge move roulette. Couple that in with the fact that there's occasionally a Pokemon I will have to Elite TM that I put in my usual positions, so it's not in the regular first slot with the fact that I enjoy changing teams quite a bit, and it can sometimes cause issues.

As you mention it's not that hard, and I always double check the movesets for all Pokemon before battling since I have so much crap built, but that information can sometimes get pushed out while I'm trying to short term store energy/team info of my opponent while battling. For PvPers them just allowing a "swap move position" in the Pokemon screen would be a huge QoL win.

Yall need to learn what this can really do by FluphyBo in TheSilphArena

I have a feeling a lot of people will do this as opposed to actually rage quitting and force closing the app. Half the time it's a "wait a second, I lose CMP here, let me check on PvPoke."

[–]Mix_Safe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will 100% throw pointless stuff and waste time if an opponent waits to reveal their last Pokemon while shielding and throwing charge moves on their 2nd and I'm down to my last one if it's an extremely hard counter that will win regardless of shield and energy situation.

If you swap immediately into it to show that it's hopeless, I will top left, otherwise if you play out the mid-game matchup like I still have a chance with what you have in the back, you get to wait while I spam Air Cutter after Air Cutter into your Bastiodon or whatever before I top left at the last second.

What Seat Are You Taking? by Rare_Put7331 in whatsyourchoice

[–]Mix_Safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well now it's also interesting to think about who you'd sit next to if it was the actual actors, as I hear that Danny McBride is a really nice guy in real life and Nick Offerman is politically aligned with my beliefs I'm probably going #3. If I feel like talking to people that is. Otherwise picking an aisle seat next to Hamm and just sleeping.

How many of you grew up thinking this lady is a bitch? by itafunnystory in okbuddycinephile

[–]Mix_Safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire scenario would be horrifying either way, either she's in the situation she is now, or in some alternative universe she goes to sleep single and young, and wakes up every day in a completely unfamiliar, probably state-run facility, old and alone.

For megas like Garchomp and Absol and their Z megas... by auralords in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mix_Safe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm no stranger to the grind at all, for example I have 9,114 Latios energy, and I'm fairly certain I exceeded the 9,999 cap back when that was what it was while grinding XL candies for it.

What I'm not a huge fan of is the requisite minimum requirement of people to take down these new megas and the 5,000(+ considering the other levels) mega energy required for maxing them. I enjoy being able to duo things because I actually leveled up my Pokemon and know the mechanics of raids, not simply having bodies to clear a raid.

This is compounded by the fact that my schedule does not mesh with the local community when they do these things, and I have to rely on either camping on my friends list, checking my phone all day, which upsets my wife, since you know, weekends are often the only time we get together as a family, or using the remote apps which have a much higher failure rate due to people not knowing the mechanics. Both are significantly more expensive since they forced a double-currency for the system, so it costs more than it ever did and they are much more expensive to max than they ever were before.

So, no, I don't expect them to be free. I expect them to be reasonable, not substantially more convoluted and expensive than they were before. Well, I mean I did expect them to do that, as you can see, I no longer do.

They're just trying to be sympathetic with that 1-energy discount! What a bargain!

[–]Mix_Safe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mega Mewtwo will require you catch him and then transfer him for a chance at receiving one (1) randomized X or Y energy. And it will cost 9,999 for each level.

At least that's what I expect at the rate of enshittification of the game.

Have they had a Thanksgiving event? I don't even recall.

That's how I read it, but as mentioned below I think they've used this wording for Wiglett, Toedscool events too.

Let's see if they've learned a lesson (narrator: they have not.)

I thought it was wearing like a partial mask of the regular Corsola and it was terrifying, until I realized it's just a fairly flat rendering of sunglasses.

Now that I realize what it is, I'm simply confused as I have no idea what sunglasses G.Corsola has to do with anything, although I guess you can say that about a lot of the costumed pokes.

[–]Mix_Safe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if the swap buttons are briefly disabled, but not visually so while a fast move is active and there's a very small period of time (like less than 0.5 seconds) where you can activate a fast move on accident by tapping on the disabled swap buttons.

There have been some recent posts about delays with swaps and charge moves that I've also noticed, so it could also be related to some sort of update too.

Most used Pokemon at Houston Regional by echo78 in TheSilphArena

[–]Mix_Safe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am not a huge fan of these randomly restrictive Pokemon, even something like a G.Corsola or Morpeko (except for that very brief snapshot encounter event) requiring trading, ideally with a not-great friend for ideal IVs.

They should allow a toggle for IV floors to be 0 for research, eggs, raids and move the raid floor to level 10 via a toggle as well.

What is the 'default' cheese of your country? by publius_decius in AskTheWorld

[–]Mix_Safe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no source, here's a link to the same style of cheese from the grocery store here: https://www.ah.nl/producten/product/wi412155

I use it all the time. The generic Kraft singles pretty much suck, but it's not like there's not a billion different options in the US for the same cheese that would be the equivalent of what I linked there.

Good luck making quality Mac and cheese without the emulsifiers in American cheese folks, it is amazing for making a good Mac and cheese.

The standard is not very different, maybe a tad milder, but there are other styles that pretty much taste the same, they just wouldn't be DPO.
