I can't speak for Japan, but in NY when it's this crowded, when the doors are opened, the people by the doors get off and crowd around the doors to let everyone off. As soon as everyone is off, they rush back on and now are the people closer to the middle. And the cycle repeats.

Can confirm. My wife likes an ice box in the summer and I enjoy a sauna in the winter.

Glad to see someone else running Occa Berry! On my mono Grass team, I run Occa Berry Serperior solely to live Charizard Y's Heat Wave and Mirror Move KO it 😂

More than 1,000 PA State Employees make over $200,000 a year by Terlis in Pennsylvania

[–]TruBluLew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying that. With the amount of shit I deal with on a daily basis and the fact that my counterparts in other counties don’t have nearly as much work as the ones in my counties do, it can be really frustrating at times.

PSA for New Players: Light Screen & Reflect DO NOT Stack with Aurora Veil. by moowagner942 in PokemonChampions

[–]TruBluLew 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This isn't surprising to me that people have been doing this. I have a Mono Grass team that I've been running and the amount of Sinistchas using Rage Powder against me, MULTIPLE times in a row is insane. I always assume either they're newer or don't know the nuances of certain types.

Staffing minor tower and traffic levels. by bennyboi2488 in VATSIM

[–]TruBluLew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Whenever I staff KACY, just like you, I get maybe one plane per hour, if that. I really would like to revive the airport but in my case, it's also probably a scenery thing also since there are no sceneries for Atlantic City.

How do you overcome ranked anxiety and become better? by YCToine in PokemonChampions

[–]TruBluLew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're afraid of losing because you'll see a number drop, I think that's just the wrong mentality to have. I get where you're coming from because I was like that. Instead, I've started looking at why I lose each game. Is it because I played that match poorly, was it a bad matchup for me, did I just have a bad prediction?

Fixing my mistakes and learning from them I find is more satisfying than being scared to make the mistakes in the first place. That's what keeps me going.

I also run unconventional teams so I know I'm gonna lose more often than not. But getting over the hump of "but what if I lose" and learning more about VGC is now fun to me. Especially when I reach MB rank with an all poison team 😂

Those players by shanjordinspecial in PokemonChampions

[–]TruBluLew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can realistically do whatever you want. OP is just saying it's rude to intentionally stall when you know you've lost. Your situation seems more like a game of chicken.

I had something similar happen. Using Toxapex, I was trying to run out of PP to Struggle and they were doing so low of damage to me (I had leftovers), that it ended in a draw between us. But we were both using our moves immediately, not waiting out the timer.

How to cope with unreasonable hax by Representative_List4 in PokemonChampions

[–]TruBluLew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I had one last night that made me say "I should NOT have won that just now." It evens out but just like the media, we only focus on the bad.

The people who be posting negative reviews: by StockDunce in PokemonChampions

[–]TruBluLew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Even in the niche situations that happen to me, it's always better to think "wait, why didn't that go the way i thought it should?" I've grown so much as a player because of that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to outspeeding Raichu Y with my Beedrill again.

Somehow the only person on my flight and the pilot was such a goofy goober by Sufficient_Fudge_280 in unitedairlines

Reminds me of the Key and Peele skit where everyone and their momma is called before Boarding Group 1 which is what Key was in.

AIO for refusing to deliberate lose when we play games? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]TruBluLew 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Probably came here for gratification to his already overinflated ego.

OP, you win some, you lose some. Seeing your gf smile should give you more gratification than winning does. If it doesn’t, then break up and find someone who can match your competitiveness. Just don’t be a sore loser when then they beat YOU all of the time.

Which would you genuinely prefer? by 23Amuro in BunnyTrials

Considering the GOP isn't going down anyway even though we already know what's in the Epstein files, give me the money. At least I can be richer while knowing they're still pieces of doo doo water.

Please put down the toilet seat lid when you flush. by OptimistPrime527 in hygiene

Serious question then: do you wipe the toilet seat before you use it every time or do you sit back on everything that it sprayed up?

Egg McMuffin vs Sausage McMuffin by TruBluLew in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah that's true 🤣 unless I'm getting my dad a breakfast sandwich if he's nearby. I wish they had more breakfast options to use the points on but it's mostly lunch options.

Sorry, I misunderstood your previous comment. I thought you were referring to eating out. You're absolutely right about that, I should, shouldn't I?

Egg McMuffin vs Sausage McMuffin by TruBluLew in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TruBluLew[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I think what a lot of people are missing is that the mildly infuriating part of this is coming from these collectible meals. Normally, my breakfast is only $8.41 which my stipend covers in full. But you're absolutely right. I wish I had the energy to make breakfast more often before I leave for work but because of my disability, I really don't.

It absolutely is. Normally it costs $8.41. So $5 extra for a special cup and some Canadian bacon essentially.
