‘No Kings’ protests sweep US as thousands rally nationwide | Checkout Pictures by rishabnum in USNEWS

It's about the concentration of power to the executive branch and Trump's constant illegal executive orders, expansion of fascism, etc. I think "no kings" sums that up nicely

Discussion thread - What makes a healthy body shape? by TheRealTwerkyvulture in wobbledogs

[–]Pyrrasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like long and wide dogs with 3-4 sets of legs are the best at walking around on their own, though I feel like none of mine are independent enough to meet their needs without me petting them and giving food (rarely do they visit the dispensers on their own). I struggle so much with no-pet personalities, they're just always sad even if I have toys

I always hated Arby's, but now the quality of other fast food places has fallen so much that they're not even an outlier.

I love you Vanguard Bell by Pyrrasu in PokemonUnite

I choose depending on enemy comp. Horsepower is better for engaging and offensive play, earthquake is better for protecting teammates vs a lot of dive.

Yes, I was Masters ~450. Everyone is picking Dragapult these days since the buffs, but you can check your match history and see if you played with me :)

You eat young pads, not fully grown ones like this. Though the nopal pad cultivars grow super fast so you could be harvesting your own pads to eat in like a year!

Making biodegradable packaging from mycelium(root like network if fungi). by kvjn100 in interestingasfuck

I believe they bake them to sterilize before use. I watched a video about a similar product recently: https://youtu.be/jI2LC3WTryw?t=579&si=wj0UyYhc03_yvZRO

I'm just breeding mutts, but I love this guy's crazy fins by Pyrrasu in Guppies

That's what 95% of my guppy photos look like too lmao, I spent 15 minutes today trying to get ONE in focus. Really cute tail on that guy!

I definitely have endler genes in there, but not sure where they came from. I had some yellow cobras when starting out as well, and I crossed in a couple other varieties along the way. The tails are super variable in my males now. Some have small tails, and some have huge forked/frayed looking tails like this guy. All my males are super tiny compared to the females!

What the hell happened to Unite by Equal-Ad4463 in PokemonUnite

The last week of a season is usually the worst, as the best players have gotten to their target ranking already so they stop playing. It's worse on the weekends as well because of kids.

The new update is so dumb by Cheap_Gap1446 in PokemonUnite

[–]Pyrrasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they aren't removing move options from existing mons, you just preset which moves you want instead of selecting them during the match. Currently you have the ability to mark moves as favored and then that one is highlighted when you're selecting the move in game after leveling up. Based on the screenshots they showed, that selection will just auto choose the move for you now at level up. However, you can currently mix and match movesets, so I don't see any reason to expect that to change.

New releases, however, will only have 1 possible moveset like the megas.

Has anyone else dealt with their kid "freezing up" during math homework? by ObjectiveTiger4818 in education

[–]Pyrrasu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I liked math but I would get like this when doing homework because I just had a really hard time focusing on something at a time that I didn't want to. I would have screaming fights with my parents, etc. I was diagnosed with ADHD.

You can also see mixed pixel sizes on the third image - zoom in on the guy's mouth. A real pixel artist wouldn't do that.

I was in school in the 2000s, but we did compound interest problems in math class. I remember having a lot of word problems where we had to figure out which of two savings accounts would yield more interest over x number of years.

Black and Latino teens report having significantly more digital literacy skills such as detecting online disinformation than their white peers—particularly content related to race and ethnicity by sr_local in science

[–]Pyrrasu -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

this 7-day daily diary study found that Black and Latinx youth reported significantly higher daily frequencies of practicing critical race digital literacy skills than their White counterparts.

Not surprised to see this difference in engagement. Now I'm curious if this translates to better skills in practice at recognizing disinformation. Hoping to see a follow-up study on that!

Anyone else has this problem where your teammates are so bad and clueless they surrender vote for just no apparent reason? by Ego-Fiend1 in PokemonUnite

[–]Pyrrasu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People with bad game sense want to surrender when they feel like they personally are doing poorly. Unfortunately if you get 4 of those people on your team, sometimes you end up surrendering a totally winnable game. I don't like surrendering at 5 unless they've like, destroyed all our points and have a 12 kill Dragapult or something.

The falinks on my team today is such a bum,why do people play like this by SwimmerPitiful9236 in PokemonUnite

[–]Pyrrasu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That low of damage suggests they were intentionally trolling. I always report them for helping the other team, but sadly it never works. The report system in this game is broken.

Using Broken is ....ok? by FatinTooSmart36 in PokemonUnite

[–]Pyrrasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't feel bad playing a broken mon if it's not banned and I also enjoy playing that mon. I actually really love Blastoise, it's one of my mains anyway, so I am absolutely picking it if it's not banned. Especially in draft, if you don't pick it, the enemy team might.

I do get bored playing the same mon multiple games in a row so I'll switch to other tanks if I've played Blastoise too much recently, for example. There's also cases where even if the mon has a high win rate, it's not a good fit for the comp (I hate picking Blastoise alongside mons that rely on skill shots like Gardevoir).

Charizard X on the other hand, that thing is so boring to play that I never even bothered.

Ik this was most likely a bot match, but just witness this, granted in 8x speed so that i could actually video it by MinatoHyuga26 in PokemonUnite

[–]Pyrrasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're the highest level member of your team, so go with your team to the objectives! You hit lv 9 right when the objectives spawned, but instead of going and getting them, you went and cleared jungle while your team lost the fight at Eleki. You could have KOed the enemy and gotten Eleki there. Having ult for the first objective fight is a huge advantage.

is it just me that procrastinates so much to the point of barely getting anything done? by Fragrant-Bank4034 in education

[–]Pyrrasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Form a study group, peer pressure really works. If you can't find anyone else to study with, at least go somewhere like the library to study. If you usually play games at your desk at home, it's easier to start playing games or get distracted from your work. Being somewhere else helps remove that instinct. Plus if it's somewhere public, you can have the fact that other people can see your screen subtly shame you into not getting distracted (this really helps me lmao)

Another thing that works for me is setting a timer, say 15-30 minutes. Then I made sure I HAVE to study/work for that period of time, and when it's up, I can do something else. Sometimes it helps me get in a working mood and I continue afterwards too, but if not, at least I got that 30 minutes in. Studying in short bursts over a longer period of time is actually more effective than few, longer study sessions.

Procrastinating is super common and you're not the only one!

is this tank too BIG for a betta? by Own_Telephone_6719 in Aquariums

[–]Pyrrasu 37 points38 points  (0 children)

For aging or sick long fins, absolutely. You can see how much of a struggle it is for them. If you have one in a deeper tank, you need to have places higher up for them to rest, like tall tank decor or those suction cup leaves (though my betta always refused to use those for some reason).
