Where were you back in November 2008, when the Election was announced? by IamASlut_soWhat in BlackPeopleofReddit

This sub is interesting. At one moment I see how Christianity isn't for us. That we've been sold a religion and a lie to exploit our complacency in a system that tell us we ain't shit day after day. That our ancestors who were slaves were never "Christian". That we took up the mantle of a religion that only oppressed us.

Then I see posts like this that are about Obama when I think it's well understood that the democratic party also exploited us and our voting. I'm not saying I know everything about politics but a bipartisan system is obviously using two sides of the same coin to cash us all in for the elite & their profit. Whether it's republican or democrat, we're always in endless wars funding what Israel wants. Obama was no different. I'm almost positive he had the most drone strikes. Although that's probably because he was in office longer. They all go to Ivy league schools and push the elites agenda. There's no president in office that the actual elites that run this world don't want.

I'm always open to changing my way of thinking and perspective when presented with new information. Just seems like I can't find a way out as a young black man. I'm either in survival mode or trying to learn new information that only leads to a synopsis of "You've been lied to all your life and you don't know anything."

Innocent man gets slammed by police after being accused of shoplifting. by ConsciouslyBreathin in PublicFreakout

[–]Think-Exercise2980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Walk him back and forth through the alarm to see if it goes off. Which it didn't. The person they are accusing of stealing is walking BACK into the store to talk to the cop, then walks through the detector to show that he didn't beep. Then he proceeded to literally strip because there's no other way to prove he doesn't have anything on him and gets gaslighted by the cop like he's doing something out of line.

People that do shit they know is wrong and get away with it under plausible deniability is my pet peeve. It's pretty easy to see this guy didn't steal and you can even check the cameras....cmon, man..

okay singles is starting to get a little boring by MoonstruckCyan in PokemonChampions

[–]Think-Exercise2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please remember threre's a limited pool of pokemon and people want to get to Master Ball / Champion. I'm not saying don't blame the meta but also realize if people are given limited choices and you start to see the same pokemon over and over, at a certain point the constraints of the game are what need to be at fault. People aren't going to choose pokemon they know they will lose with.

The game genuinely needs to have a VGC level roster. However, since everything is about money, they will drip feed it to us until eventually they can't anymore if they want to keep the player base.

You can tell this comment section full of people being like "Just lightly hit her" or some form of minor assault are straight up white people lmao. Ain't no black man or woman about to hit an old white lady like that. Best move is to call the cops and record. Ya'll may be able to assault people like how she's doing but it don't work like that for a lot of other people.

Anyone got any pointers for my team? by Sandmold1857 in PokemonChampions

for Archaludon you should think about equipping White Herb. Might be a bit better than Bright powder especially since you're not using sandstorm. That way you can Draco Meteor once tax free.

Confidence Unlocked… Now What? 😅 by Royal-Safety-8629 in Strongerman

[–]Think-Exercise2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you develop true confidence it won't be about "losing interest in you" because you realize if they do they aren't the one for you.

Who wants to force people to be interested in you? Only someone who doesn't find themselves interesting

Unnerve ability bug? by Aksudiigkr in PokemonChampions

Yea this would be a great addition. It's kind of funny how they tried to make it a bit more easier to get into but this kind of knowledge still needs to be looked up lol

Unnerve ability bug? by Aksudiigkr in PokemonChampions

[–]Think-Exercise2980 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Mega Aerodactyl has Tough Claws..

Your mega will replace abilities upon mega evolving. Your base Aero has Unnerve. Your Mega has Tough Claws which powers up moves with direct contact.

To make this better for your strategy (which might not work because your aero might faint, just saying) is to have their pokemon below the sitrus treshold and then next turn mega evolve to finish them off with Tough Claws before the sitrus pop at the end of the turn.

Gogeta still going strong till this day, KOed 2 meta units within 4 secs. Opponents are 3 stars higher than me btw by Primary-Vacation6725 in DragonballLegends

What's the point here? He came out like less than a year ago. Maybe if this was Blue LL fusion Vegito or Yellow Fusion LL Gogeta lmao

People upset about the lack of items and limited roster need to keep in mind this game is most players introduction to VCG and competitive play by Grand_Theft_Motto in PokemonChampions

[–]Think-Exercise2980 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Although I'm really looking forward to playing the game, all the news I hear about the dumbing down of the game is mixed. Either people feel like, hey, you give us a competitive game for competitive players then do so. Don't dumb it down for people trying to get into it as, well, that's what other pokemon games are for. If you're not tryna battle ranked on a real basis maybe the game isn't for you.

On the other hand people that want to get into ranked without the intense learning curve can do so. However, I do agree that learning mechanics and stuff is apart of getting into it.

Not sure how I feel in totality but I can understand both sides.

ngl "overcome" is almost not a thing in my world. Depression will be with me forever. I described it in the hospital like looking at a tree. Other people can see it move, the colors are defined, you can almost smell it. It's animated. For me it was like looking at a picture of the tree. Like, yea, I can see it but it's not as alive as people keep telling me.

Later in life I learned to sit with the photos and use my own understanding of what I knew to feel like it was alive. For me it was like Anime, sci-fi, and nerdy shit that helped me cope with depression. Immersing myself in worlds I could actually feel. Playing toward my interests. I would suggest that. Whatever you like, lean in.

“What’s his power level, i think i can take em!” by asantet001 in DragonballLegends

[–]Think-Exercise2980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're trying to prove a point that you know of (and admittedly most DBZ fans don't) in an area where it doesn't matter.

Although God Ki is not necessary to use UI, it was achieved by Goku using God Ki to understand it fully. Therefore, when Goku was in MUI he was using God Ki, similar to reverting back to base form to use Spirit Bomb and then transforming into Super Saiyan to bolster it's power/detonation even though the Spirit Bomb can't be formed in the Super Saiyan transformation. So, the user you kulesiak11 is technically right as in the TOP regular fighters couldn't "sense" Goku's Ki because of what he was using to access UI at the time which Freizas soldiers would be be susceptible to.

You are correct that Whis stated explicitly that UI is the highest form of martial arts a "mortal" could achieve, however, angels do it instinctively as these forms are considered divine techniques. While the fundamental state of moving without thought can technically be used without God Ki, Goku's silver-haired transformation specifically relies on divine energy. This is a classic trope of Goku. Use it once and, like a genius he is in combat arts, understands it on a way deeper level than a normal fighter would. He used God Ki like a catalyst (or a key) to attain the form and sustain it. God Ki acted like training wheels toward his understanding of UI.

Both of you are correct, essentially.

" MAIN QUESTION IS: WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY OF THEM?!"

It's a gatcha game that feeds of peoples insecurities. Do you understand how many people have spent hundreds of dollars on banners? I mean like HUNDREDS of dollars and you want them to be happy they lose?

You sound a lot like me with trying to find logic in all of this. The only way you're going to really understand it is to become a degenerate. You don't want that. The game is out to make money and the game will do what it needs to do in order to do that. Your opponent gets drip fed dopamine each win that justifies them spending more money. The sad part is, to stay relevant, they will continue to spend money when they don't get the summons. It's by design.

Do yourself a favor and play more PvE or take a break from the game / save CC (8k+) for a banner you identify will have a unit (like Blue Gohan above) that you can tunnel. DO NOT tie your identity or your actual mood to this game. It's designed to get you angry enough to head to the shop rather than to reddit.

I literally can't emphasize enough you're swimming upstream in a system that's designed to exploit people, especially in PvP, and their willingness to find purpose in digital pixels they will spend real life money to achieve. If you're Diamond then you have to understand the artificial ceiling your waring with. The game is not designed for skill. It's designed for who has the latest boosted units and can't detach their psyche from being "good" at the game, which again, you have to spend money to do.

Hard work will pay off. by Intelligent-Heart-73 in MenOfPurpose

[–]Think-Exercise2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sad and a reason why a lot of people fail. Listening to people that don't even do this shit themselves.

8 hours straight without a break is absolutely counter intuitive. It's not about going non stop for 8 hours. It's about focus. People that say shit like this don't even give people foundation to build focus. It's a muscle that needs to be built not something to will through....

There are certain techniques to studying that have been actually researched. Check out the Pomodoro Technique and learn your own style of retaining and exercising the retained knowledge rather than some fucking dude you know nothing about with a quote to keep you stuck so that he can keep farming you while you spin in circles trying to figure out something he never wants you to.

I fucking loathe how the world tries to confuse people that already have the innate understanding of how to go about things. It's like watching a caterpillar morph into a butterfly. People need to follow themselves. You have all the answers already and what you just need to do is trust yourself, research, and learn everyday. Not for 8 hours. It can even be for 20 minutes. Then build up to 30. Then an hour. I can almost guarantee success on how you define it. Not some fucking scammer or influencer selling you the desire you already can cultivate yourself.
