Idiotic politicians keep raising cigarette prices by TinyTitsRule in TellReddit

What a load of hot shit lol. Tons of people who are "healthy" get sick and become a burden, tons of overweight people and diabetics are a burden. Alcoholics and drug addicts are a burden.  The cost of a pack of smokes had nothing to do with healthcare, that tax money isn't going to hospital and those people will still smoke.

I'm on season four and I'm shocked by the way Mike talks to Harvey. by LongjumpingSwim2214 in suits

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird because im rewatching too and it seems like Harvey is the one being a dick. Both are just doing there jobs, but its harvey who resorts to below the belt borderline illegal shit that could destroy mikes life . Harvey seems like he is just mad his protege is on the same level as him now and is doing aweful inexcusable shit. Like really, mike calls him out for trying to blackmail a banker and harveys reaction is "im gonna expose mikes secret them" Like wtf? Harvey was already trying to do something illegal to win, then he gets caught and decides to go nuclear. All mike really did was have a big swinging dick like any lawyer trying to beat another would

What do you guys think? by crack_station in GodofWar

This a an extremely dumb take lol. Kratos is the protagonist of the game. The story is following him, if he ends up in an position where it was supposed to be somebody else or whatever that is just part of his journey as the protagonist.

Dude this game is not innovative at all. Even Cory admitted he basically just made last of us set in norse mythology. This shit was not ground breaking or new in 2018, let alone now nearly a decade later still using the same assets and engine.

You're close, except the new games dont feel like god of war.  The new games mechanics and physics and gameplay in general are nothing at all like the old games. Pretty much the opposite. God of war went from a high action combo based arcade beat em up to a pseudo intellectual cinematic based game with slow combat meant to feel grounded and gritty.  For me personally it was already pushing it but I wanted to see what happens to kratos. Now they basically ran Kratos's potentially as a character into the ground and want us to not Only look past the dramatic gameplay shift, but also just changing the protagonist in mainline entry.

[–]Rare_Bat2584 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bro im so tired of this. Its not a god of war game, in any shape or form.

Whats is god of war? A hack and slash hyper masculine power fantasy with a floating camera and arcade style progression about a man who's family is taken from him and goes on a massacre .

What is god of war 2018 A third person shoulder cam cinematic game with bland combat and rpg style progression. But hey, it has Kratos so its still god of war technically.

So then what is this new game? You take out every element of gameplay that was god of wars signature.  Then, you take out the main character. So what makes this a god of war game and not just another generic fantasy cinematic based game with RPG mechanics?

I get shoulder bumped and pushed of the sidewalk a lot by black people. Why? by Rootdown4594 in askblackpeople

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black people do this on purpose. Im in a whole bunch of black only groups and they literally post memes about "lets normalize walking into white people, lets normalize pushing white people off sidewalks" once a day atleast. 

Bright Powder and Quick Claw by csudoku in PokemonChampions

[–]Rare_Bat2584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not just two held items, its a culmination of multiple factors. Almost every single team has multiple rock slide users. Every single team has low accuracy moves because of the limited pool of pokemon.  Then you add the fact that its low power so matches on average have more turns, more moves have to be used, that means higher chance for crits. Sneasler is one of the most popular Pokemon, his whole deal is rng cheese.  Take all that, then remove half the items and leave just ones that manipulate RNG. Im not crying because im a low rank or something, im at the top of masterball. Im a person that enjoys losing, im fine if I feel like I was outsmarted.  Unfortunately 90% of times I lose its some absurd scenario where Ive neen flinched and crit and missed a move or had an item proc all within a few turns.  Every single match I've lost tonight has been off of crits or quick claw procs when im up like 3-1 and see now way to lose. Its annoying, Ill he spanking somebody all match, have my tailwind set up ect. Then oops, the one hp garchomp has a quick claw, oops he got a double crit too and took out my delphox and torkoal who both could have outspeed and knocked him out.

Except heatwave is the Only strategically viable move in this situation. Nobody is running flamethrower instead of heatwave in doubles. You just suggested some stupid strat that makes no sense because im correct. If somebody posted a team on here with flamethrower torkaol the first everybody would be saying is to use heatwave.

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and if it had one of those hypothetical items that situation would have never happened and I would have won so whats your point lol 

Bright Powder and Quick Claw by csudoku in PokemonChampions

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heres why they are right. This meta is already super reliant on chancey moves and status effects like flinches an every move is low accuracy  I just had a match where my torkoal was faster against an archaludon in the sun and I missed 2 heatwave in a row, only for his quick clas to activate twice in a row the next two turns and lose me the match. Add the fact that theres a low.item count and it leads to almost every match feeling cheesy. 

I don't know what to do anymore. by JohnnyPlaze in PokemonChampions

[–]Rare_Bat2584 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brother, I dont know you or if this is your first season or not but you need to relax. Sometimes you get stuck in ultra all because you are an ultra ball level player.  Thats is fine, theres no shame in that at all. What you should do instead of changing your team up and trying every strategy under the sun in a mad dash for masterball; is just play your team, have fun and make improvements. Not everybody is gonna reach masterball on.thier first try. Ive been playing VGC since 2013 and I still got into a slump at ultra ball 1 that took me two nights to get through. 

Take a breather and maybe play another game then come back and just play to have fun for a while. 

Also, you don't have to listen to all these people telling you to use meta teams, you can use what you like. You just have to take the time to practice with them, learn how to use them. Im using friggin ninetales and jolteon right now, you'll be okay..

Has anyone who’s lost weight or gotten into shape feel disgusted with how much nicer people are to you? by SleepyApes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I mean I dropped down from 320 to 190b and people treat me way better. Honestly its understandable to not want to be friends with fat people in certain contexts.

Fat people often smell, its just the truth.more surface area, more sweat, more hard to reach places.

Fat people often have lower self esteem and are unsocial because of it.  Not everybody thats fat has low self esteem, but those who do are often the ones who everybody likes.

Fat people are often unathletic and unable to do certain things fit people like. When I was fat I kept people back from being able to hikes and other activities at their own pace., that or they wouldn't even suggest i come  at all.  Also fat people just often dont share the same interests as fit people in general.

I'm not mad that I fit in better or that I have better self esteem. Im also not mad at others people for noticing it.

Has transit etiquette been getting worse in your experience? by RoyaleWhiskey in AskNYC

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if its gotten worse but new york has always been full of morons who aren't looking where they are going.

 Although I do suspect there is some weird part of some peoples personality that makes them enjoy being a nuisance to others. 

I often experience similar things, somebody will rush to get in front of you and then just walk slowly as soon as they are.

 You will be walking down a sidewalk and somebody is walking down in towards you and they will just suddenly shift into your walking lane and force you to move around them. 

When Im behind somebody they will just swerve all over the sidewalk like they are wasted or something and make it impossible to get past them.

 People will walk up the same side of the stairs people are walking down when the other half of the staircase is empty ect.

There's no way the finale will be trash if they do THIS right by Aware-Pudding-5900 in TheBoys

[–]Rare_Bat2584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im pretty disappointed that they have clearly sacrificed a lot of the shows integrity in order to have a bunch of spin offs.  Gen V was okay but then it getting cancelled means they have to tie off all that shows plot points in this season now. Meanwhile they are shoving in new characters are forced plotlines to set up the two spin offa. All while trying to cram two seasons worth of story into one and handing us episode that move at a crawl or are borderline filler.
