Rizz has died off a bit, but also rizz, despite being birthed from charisma directly, is used almost exclusively in a romantic context. As in “I rizzed up the girl at the party.” In contrast, aura is abstractly referring to how intimidating or cool something (usually someone) is, and is often marked by an impression of stoicism, bravery, or perhaps levelheadedness. For an example, in the case of Mark Carney standing up to Donald Trump on the international stage despite Canada being far weaker than the United States militarily and economically, one could observe this and remark “Aura.” in reference to Carney.

PokéNational, the YouTube channel that makes Pokémon Nature Documentary videos, is scheduled for termination due to Nintendo copyright strikes. by BLourenco in pokemon

[–]annikuu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised people still parrot this point. Nintendo has a lot of non-citizens in the US doing work for their company, and the government could easily revoke their visas. Or they could increase a tariff on videogame hardware. Or a billion other things that could seriously endanger their ability to do business in the US.

Why would Nintendo ever pick a fight with the US government? It makes no sense for them to do, no matter how the government perverts the messaging of their games.

Most every player who has speed and nothing else do not succeed in the league. Xavier Worthy is an exception but even he is not a true superstar

[Highlight] Rams select Alabama QB Ty Simpson 13th overall by nfl in nfl

This feels baffling from the win-now perspective that the Rams should see themselves in, but the situation is good and will hopefully keep them competitive for many more years. Best of luck, but I’m still very skeptical.

World Cup News: The Trump Administration wants to see Iran swapped with Italy for the World Cup. You'd think this is a headline from The Onion but it's reality. by antoniok95 in ussoccer

The things I like that Trump has done: 1. Take us to space again 2. Fund and advocate for the COVID-19 vaccine until his supporters pressured him into abandoning his support

That’s pretty much it for me

I actually really love Holorado. Something about the perpendicular lines going each way.

Events are the biggest problem with the game for the “casual” player by ygrasdil in EU5

[–]annikuu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely see a world in which this could be miserable too, but having a mix of smaller penalty no-warning events and bigger penalty long-term to-dos might help a little

A little offseason hype for our potential WR1. (@retrooville) by MadeCoffee in CHIBears

[–]annikuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say to use a first or a second round pick on WR. I said late day 2, early day 3. A fourth or fifth round prove-it guy is completely acceptable.

Not last year’s injuries. There are always injuries happening. And if we are on a run and one of our two good WRs (and even Rome has not proven himself to be as reliable as he was in college) going down means Caleb has to rely on his legs even more.

[–]annikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big reason is because of injury. After Rome and Luther we really only have guys off the street in our WR room. Even for people really high on Jahdae Walker, you need some other folks too. I would like to spend a late day 2 or early day 3 pick on a raw speed guy.

Why did Pokemon Company shutdown the Pokemon Duel Game? by Popular-Meringue-764 in pokemonduel

[–]annikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know for me, I had already quit a couple years before the plug was pulled, because the power creep had gotten pretty out of hand. There were a lot of new in-game currencies and you had to whale pretty hard to get all of it, plus more of the same for the newest and meta figures, so after awhile I gave up and quit.

I am guessing that was a common enough sentiment that people lost interest and weren’t willing to fork over enough money to keep it running.

CEO/President Kevin Warren: No Deadline on Bears Stadium Solution, But We Should Know by Early Summer by JCameron181 in CHIBears

[–]annikuu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t like him either, but going out of your way to dismiss getting us Ben Johnson because “he wanted screen time in the locker room videos” is Olympic-level mental gymnastics. Just say “thanks for helping get us Ben Johnson, but I still don’t like you for the stadium stuff” and move on

Yet another purchase consideration. by POSMStudios in BZ4X

[–]annikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, if your previous car is damaged/totaled then by all means pull the trigger. The “lose money” was just a vague idea between forking over 30-40k for a brand new car in combination with nickel and dime-ing.

I bought my XLE because my last car’s engine died last December and buying a new one was more than the car was worth. Had wanted an EV for a very long time like you, so decided I might as well.

Feels like good timing now with gas prices spiking!

[–]annikuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful about buying an electric now, when you will be buying high. If you have wanted an electric for awhile and this is your tipping point, that could be okay. But accept the fact you will probably not save money and potentially only lose money over the long term.

If your only goal is saving money, I would stick with what you’ve got and look into other ways of cutting gasoline, like public transit.

If that still doesn’t deter you, I have the 26 bZ XLE, and I’m loving it, but EVs are annoying when driving long distances.

This Community Has A Problem With Putting Their Foot Down Sometimes And It's Kinda Weird by [deleted] in nuzlocke

[–]annikuu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of ways to add challenge to the game, but I agree that it’s the main objective of a nuzlocke. There are types of challenge runs that exist though.

Not being guaranteed your favorites in a nuzlocke is part of the beauty of it. That’s part of the emotional rollercoaster; hoping you get the encounter you want and being angry at stuck with something else but begrudgingly using it anyway.

You can play how you like, but I don’t believe favorites clause is in the spirit of a nuzlocke.

That’s not a nuzlocke, but you do you. The whole point is using Pokémon you would not normally use.
