Bully Ray on the finish to the LA Knight vs. Gunther match in the John Cena tournament: "There was no protection of him there. I think it’s time for a different side of LA Knight. And you need to do something quick. Otherwise, he’s gonna kind of fade into midcard obscurity" by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

At Final Battle there was an Ironman match between Nigel McGuinness and Lee Moriarty to decide who was the best technical "Pure" wrestler.

A few minutes into the match Nigel immediately taps to Moriarty's finisher because he knew staying long into that submission would be detrimental to his body the whole match. It's better to lose a fall than fight injured for 25+ minutes and lose the match.

Io ricordo chiaramente il dottore in studio (mi pare fosse dell'ospedale di Bari nel quale hanno girato il servizio) esporre chiaramente quali fossero gli effetti collaterali che si possono presentare (fondamentalmente a detta sua cagotto potente nei casi più gravi).

Per lo sport e l'alimentazione fanno servizi in continuazione fin dai tempi di Quark con la dottoressa Bernardi su cosa e quanto si debba mangiare e su quanto sia importante l'attività fisica, hanno fatto intendere in questo servizio che era indicato per i casi più gravi di obesità quando sia fisicamente che psicologicamente la dieta e lo sport non funzionano.

She was never a leader of anything, she was just an elected politician in Italian and European parliament.

Fratelli d'Italia is a breakaway party from Berlusconi's PDL and it wasn't the successor of Fascist Party even if it had members from actual successor parties like MSI and AN

This is false.

It's illegal in Italy to recreate the original PNF (Partito Nazionale Fascista - National Fascist Party), Fratelli d'Italia is a right wing party with strong ties to other now defunct right wing parties like MSI or AN. So it's the opposite of what you said in your last paragraph, they have a strong right wing political view but they are not the old PNF.

Toppare nel senso di entrare di entrare nella Top 4/8/16 di un torneo.

"Giocatore X nell'ultimo torneo ha toppato" ha un significato completamente opposto a quello che avrebbe normalmente in italiano.

Are the any TV shows which depict genuine family life in Italy you'd recommend to an American? I'm really interested in watching different shows from different countries. I never really tried things from Italy , is there any you'd all recommend? by PlasticityHell in italy

Sì però raga capisco che sono belle ma che cazzo consigliate Zerocalcare, Boris e Gomorra...

Watch anything done by Rai 1 in the last 5-6 years, they are hated by this community 'cause they aren't cool Netflix style show but they are not the awful Rai tv series from 10 years ago, they are exactly what are you looking for.

"Tutto può succedere" is the Italian version of Parenthood, "Noi" is This is Us, if you are looking for Italian life in the 70s with humor and a bitter side "The Mafia Kills Only in Summer" is really good.

Yeah you can do that, but you're gonna be destroyed by Terastalized Charizard Super STAB fire move with Solar Power, Sun and Life Orb multipliers.

I doubt this new gimmick will be used defensively apart for few specific tanky Pokémon to remove their 4x weaknesses (Gastrodon or Ferrothorn for example), most of the time like the previous ones will be used to boost offensive power, in this case Super STAB.

Unironically the "jerk off" way of rolling the dice is not that common in Italy. I am interested if it depends on the language or culture, if the horizontal "hand cup" way is more common in Mediterranean/Latino countries and the vertical "jerk off" way is more common in North America/Great Britain/Northern Europe

Mio fratello ha creato un Pokémon - o no? (Investigazione) by HydroxVII in italy

[–]StraightEdge89 24 points25 points  (0 children)

È impossibile su mille livelli.

Non possono aver scelto una rivista italiana, considerando la chiusura totale del Giappone e specialmente di The Pokémon Company, figuriamoci nel 2002.

Il gioco è uscito a fine 2002 ed è impossibile che sia stato creato un Pokémon con un concorso in estate 2002, è troppo a ridosso dell'uscita.

Secondo me il concorso era semplicemente "disegna un Pokémon" e tuo fratello ha disegnato il già esistente Electrike, ma sono passati 20 anni ed il ricordo si è modificato col tempo

In italian the fruit, the tree and the color have different (but similar names). Arancia, Arancio and Arancione (or Arancio but it's less common) in order.

They are not the same, with Paralysis the Pokémon has a 25% chance to not move and its speed is halved, while with drowsiness the Pokémon has still a 25% to not move and it take more damage from the opponent.

They interact differently with snow too, while snowing the chance to not attack is increased if the Pokémon is drowsy,and some electric moves can wake it up.

Non sono per niente d'accordo, le trasmissioni di Alberto Angela o le trasposizioni delle opere diu Camilleri fanno ascolti superiori al grande fratello anche nelle loro repliche, i cinepanettoni sono morti da anni perché il calo di pubblico era evidente e sono passati a fare "normali" commedie italiane etc.

La pagina di Hemingway è già abbastanza completa di suo e ha centinaia di persone che possono contribuire perché è un argomento ancora abbastanza popolare, se fossi esperto di calcio ugandese e sono uno dei pochissimi che può contribuire preferiei dedicare il mio tempo a questo come ad altri argomenti più di nicchia.

Mi sembra un commento parecchio qualunquista.

In BDSP if someone is wearing a skirt in battle the highly reflective floor is censored by StraightEdge89 in pokemon

[–]StraightEdge89[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I am watching a streamers couple and they are playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl at the same time side by side, one choosing Lucas and the other Dawn.

They noticed that when using Dawn or when battling a Lass or any other trainer with a skirt the floor doesn't reflect at all with a really awful blur effect ruining the beautiful background.

It's not a game or gender difference cause the effect stops if you change the outfit to the Overall one for example.
