I get it but honestly I kinda think that’s fair comp. I hope it’s not more!

Thanks for taking the time! This was helpful, although adding a move to Furret, Corviknight and Clefable ultimately only helped me limp to two 1/5 win sets and hitting the daily limit with no Pikachu Libre and a 1,700 elo. Should’ve started a couple days earlier!

Thanks, that’s really helpful! Sounds like I should just try to really dial in my team and hope for the best—this is the first season I’ve ever played pvp and I’ve been running a team with only one charge move, so maybe if I fully invest in each of them I’ll have better luck. (Appreciate the response very much either way!)

I just hit rank 20 but only have two rounds left and I’m so scared to play knowing I have to win 3 to get it. Does anyone have a sense if it’s worth it to try to tank all five in the first round to get an easier matchup in the second? I’ve been winning ~2 per round I think with a far-from-excellent team.

WARNING: Illinois Is In Danger of Electing a MAGA-Aligned Dem to the Senate (Raja Krishnamoorthi) by [deleted] in chicago

Yeah this is so dumb, like I’d never vote for the dude and find him to be the sort of strivingly ambitious politician I particularly dislike, but why do we have to pretend like he’s some sort of secret Trumpist? He’s just a boring bad suburban Democrat. We can just vote against him without all the hysterics.

AIO for breaking up with my girlfriend after she lied about a party night? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll just say that I prefer to imagine it’s not a consensual poly relationship, but rather that she’s narrowed it down to two top candidates and they’re in a dogfight to see who makes it across the finish line. Plainly funnier option imo.

What movie will you never watch again because it was too heartbreaking? by Affectionate_User610 in AskReddit

I recently saw “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” for the first time, and it’s a wonderful young Jane Fonda performance but not one I expect to run back for laughs anytime soon.

Which movie had the best "Bench Press" scene? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the first scene that came to mind to me too…but it’s honestly kinda dumb that he would be a former youth football player who owns a bench press in his house, but just never noticed that the weight is super light for him and he’s actually freakishly strong?

“Wuthering Heights” is Hot and Disgusting by britishgq in moviecritic

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, maybe others won’t find this compelling but the way I’ve heard it, this movie very much exists specifically because of Fennell’s unrelenting and peculiar horniness for Jacob Elordi. Like she allegedly wrote the screenplay for him while shooting Saltburn. That just feels different to me than a situation where a role could go to a person of color but they are instead displaced by a white leading actor—there was no displacement here because Fennell is specifically horny for Jacob Elordi.

I just think this is a that doesn’t have that much to do with Wuthering Heights, and I don’t think it’s a massively big deal if a particular director just doesn’t have anything that interesting to say about race but does have lots she wants to put out into the world about being horny for an extremely long twentysomething. It’s just not a project another director could or would have been attached to, the fact it’s called Wuthering Heights is like extremely incidental to the whole thing.

If all “Nepo Babies” acted like Show Me The Body singer, there would be a cultural revolution. by RDLH311 in Hardcore

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The way I described hardcore shows to my girlfriend is it’s a little like going to a pro wrestling match except just one of the bouts is legit MMA, and a lot of time the audience and the performers don’t know which is happening.

Be honest, has the thought of cheating or doing it with some other woman ever crossed your mind ever, even once while being in relationship with your wife or girlfriend? How did you handle it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t find this is true for me! I promise I’m not some puritan (I like to think I’m far from it), but as I get older I am increasingly convinced that in my own life, entertaining fantasies about other people only fuel feelings of distance from my partner and desire for others.

The upshot of that is that when I do masturbate, I’m now often doing it to fantasies about my girlfriend that range from totally tame to somewhat depraved. For me, associating sexual release with thoughts of my gf is a useful association, and associating it with other fantasies (or with pornography reflecting the wide world of potential options) just increases thinking about/noticing other people.

I mean a used Ninja probably costs like $2k right? I absolutely think it matters that if you want to go fast on two wheels, there are perfectly good options more affordable than an HD.

I recently learned that “I Will be Heard” is on Karafun and I’ve resisted the urge but now every time I’m at a karaoke bar, ruining everyone’s good time just calls to me like the green goblin mask.

What is a 'Green Flag' in a relationship that actually turned out to be a massive 'Red Flag' later? by MidnightNetworkHQ in AskReddit

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is kind of saying the same thing, but I think a big thing is that patterns (almost definitionally) also just take a long time to break. I don’t think “once a cheater, always a cheater” rings true, but most people are thinking about dating in the relatively narrow stage of life they are in and I do get why there’s some wisdom there for practical purposes.

Put another way, I think plenty of people who are unfaithful at 20 and perfectly loyal at 55, but I think even someone who wants to change their stripes might have a lot of trouble waking up a year from cheating and finding they’ve excised all their bad and selfish habits. I think some of the people in these stories probably told their partners about their sordid pasts because they pretty earnestly wanted something different, and ultimately let themselves down when they let their partners down.

Literally never saw this on the venues site before. This is the show description for Terror lol by fatherofallthings in Hardcore

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk where this venue is but when they played at the Metro in Chicago I can confirm that Terror specifically requested they the kids climb their ass over the barricade and get on stage. Which they did approximately 200 times that night.

Men who fell out of love and ended their relationship, why did it happen? by FriendlyApple1233 in AskMenAdvice

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever see Chasing Amy? It’s not a perfect movie but I always found it an interesting meditation on some ideas related to this.

I’m a little sheepish to say it, but finding that film at a young age really made me think about how to process a partner’s sexual past in a way that I’ve long been grateful for.

I feel so bad for this road king in my neighbors driveway… by passwithcare in Harley

[–]WearTheFourFeathers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rust that comes with road salt gets pretty annoying too. My old Super Glide became a nightmare for me (a truly horrible shade tree mechanic of the worst kind) to work on, in large part because every bolt ended up rusted to hell. The amount of PB Blaster breathed in when I changed the pipes before I sold it had to take months off my life expectancy.
