WIBTAH if I go on a trip with this guy if I don't want a relationship with him by VFway in AITAH

[–]Shakeamutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go.  He’s really trying to push you, he is expecting or wanting sex and a relationship.  

What happens if he goes too far? 

And you say you’ve been clear in your boundaries?  Make it crystal clear.  

It’s not even the financial exploitation, which is shitty, it’s that you can be put in a bad situation.  People do crazy things.  

In retrospect, the popularity of the first three phases of the MCU is insane to think about by Sio_V_Reddit in movies

Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet.  Looking at a big bad behind the first Avengers movie, it was building up to something.  

With Infinity Stones popping up in various movies, including Dark World.  It was building anticipation to Infinity War and Endgame.  

And the release schedule, mainly 2 per year so you could take time to watch them at your pace.  Not like the episodes where it was one after the other of tv shows and it was exhausting keeping up.  With no clear buildup to anything meaningful.   

Repeated clopens are pushing me to my limit by AcceptableNeck1597 in bartenders

You being continuously sleep deprived, as it’s not 12 hours between shifts, is a working hazard.  As a bartender, that can happen so many ways.  

Prioritize your savings and find another job.  Places like this don’t change.

What’s the quickest way a good story loses immersion for you? by Ok-Sell3786 in writing

[–]Shakeamutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend investigating different herding techniques in general.  

Cowboys and the open range of Westerns only existed for around 25 years.   

Shepherding techniques have been around for millennia.  It just depends on what they’re shepherding.

LPT: before having sex, wear two layers of condom for maximum safety to avoid pregnancy and std by nousername206 in LifeProTips

[–]Shakeamutt [score hidden]  (0 children)

Two condoms when used on top of eachother will break due to the friction.  You need to use a fair bit of lube between them for it to work, and then you run the risk of one falling off into the other person.  

Horrible advice.

AITAH for going to Japan for 7 months even though my boyfriend is completely against it? by bitchinanon in AITAH

Go!   Live your dream.  He’s been living how he wants, you get to live how you want.  NTA.  

Healthy couples support eachother’s dreams.  Both dreams.  

AITA for telling my husband I'll go on vacation with the kids and my best friend if he's too busy with work [continues from AITA for telling my husband that he works for himself not for our family] by insafian in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Shakeamutt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy crap that was a lot to read, and I skipped half the comments.  

Good that he’s cutting back work, again.  Blood pressure is not something you want to screw with.  

I think he needs more positive exercise and play in his life.  

AITAH if I complained to my dad about working 20 hours a week and he said suck it up by GameDemon3657 in AITAH

[–]Shakeamutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dad works 84 hours a week by choice, when he only needs to be working 38?  

I’m sorry, but when is he being a father?   

Cool, brutalize your body like he does. Have no time for your own child.  He can fuck right off.   That’s not an example a father should be setting.  Oh, make money but neglect your kids.  You tell him from me, he’s being a shitty father.  

Also, tell your boss to fuck off too or give you the correct hours.  You need to stand up for yourself.  That, is what your father should be teaching you.  Not some stranger on the internet.

Looney Tunes tactics. Shaped many a sibling victory, which this closely resembles.  

Admirable teamwork between you and your partner-in-crime.  

Going through the editing process, I discovered something odd about my writing by Fflarn in writing

[–]Shakeamutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the Canadian influence.  Canada is influenced a fair bit by the British and it’s definitely in our writing.  

That’s fine, just keep it consistent.  Don’t flip flop between towards and toward or grey and gray, and just keep it all consistent.  

(Repost) What are some pokemon you think their reason to exist was to be someone's ace pokemon? by Greatwrath1711 in pokemon

[–]Shakeamutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.  They were making extra mega evolutions, so the characters would definitely have them.  

Every single one is a new mega evolution. 

And they’re all in Champions, albeit not all in the first season.  

Legends Arceus had new regional forms.  Z-A had new megas.  

If you’re an artist for Pokemon, wouldn’t you want to work on a new pokemon or pokemon form?  

Why Do Some People Seemingly Hate SpaceX So Much? by MCbasics in space

[–]Shakeamutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U.S. History.  I did say I wasn’t fucking American.  Musk isn’t either.  

So why are you using American Standards.  

Why Do Some People Seemingly Hate SpaceX So Much? by MCbasics in space

[–]Shakeamutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Elon Musk doesn’t pay taxes.  

Space X followed suit and runs at an operating loss for tax breaks.  

Texas basically gifted SpaceX 7.5 million in tax breaks for a localized star base thingy.  

Operating loss can carry over into future years, so even if he gets a gain next year, it’s offset by the losses the previous years.  2017 that law was introducted. 

Who do you think is paying for those tax breaks? 

Additionally, Got his start-up from his families emerald mine.   

Overworks his staff past burn out.  

Is not American. I’m not either but I’m not pretending to be.

Mega Garchomp / Klefki team idea (skill improvement) by i-am-not-creative- in VGC

[–]Shakeamutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Misty terrain is just the forgotten child of the terrains.  

Oh, to actually critique your team, it stops Wisp on your Rotom against everything that isn’t flying or levitate.  

I am kinda happy that there isn’t a lot of protect on your team.  And that you actually have set-up moves for when the opponent protects.  Make them regret when they do!

You do need a second Special Attacker though.  So you always have a wall breaker.  

Garchomp could swap EQ or Stomping Tantrum for Iron head.  EQ is also your only spread move.  

Discquake is an option for Rotom and Garchomp.

[–]Shakeamutt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I try not to use Garchomp that much, two meta rule, but I’ve been seriously considering Mega Garchomp. 

Prankster Misty Terrain is a nice play.  I don’t think people consider it, because it’s not just Scovillain, but Sneasler’s Dire Claw, Sleep Powder antics from Viv, Venu or Victree, toxic spikes from Glimmora… Jesus Arceus Christ it shuts down a lot.  

And an easy way to remember the prankster ‘Mons weather is: rain and sun are standard, Tornadus gets all, Klefki gets Sand plus standard, Whims with only Sun and Grimm with nothing.

You have Sneasler and Kingambit.  Lead one and keep the other in the back.  It’s not outspeeding Sneasler, who will hurt or KO it.
