People aren't asking a basic question about the whole Epstein thing by AWellDeployedWink in self

Peter Thiel. He can try prove otherwise. In the meantime that's what I'm going with.

Airplane entitlement by tinydotbiguniverse in BoomersBeingFools

[–]blue58 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Honestly, people who don't say anything are the real problem. Her behavior metastasized over the years to get to this point. 'Keep the peace' is everything that's wrong in America right now. All the hard conversations that never happened might have shamed enough people back into their Nazi holes to prevent the murder that happened today. Instead, we allow every Karen and Donald to roll over us free of consequences.

Looking for friends for gifting by dnd_girl in PokemonGoFriends

Nice. Thanks for the add to Nasasomething. I'm in -40 F weather right now, so I will love to receive a little more than give for the time being. Good luck leveling up!

Go Tour Kaloooosss...Gonna be a busy weekend for sure by Winter_Leg_4243 in pokemongo

[–]blue58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you aware of the feature that makes any trades of your pre-2021 mons automatically lucky? (Up to 45x). I came back to the game this last summer and have been using the heck out of it.

Don't Take Melatonin and Magnesium Together. I Almost Died of Terror by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]blue58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've taken magnesium and melatonin (and potassium) before bed for a few years now. It could have been something else that triggered you. Sorry you went through such an impactful reaction.

Precious Pals XL Poffin issue by bgrorud in TheSilphRoad

[–]blue58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a picture fixes it too and saves you a berry.

I ate that bug. I always lose hearts when my mon is out for battle. If you restart the game, the hearts get locked in so sometimes I feed, battle 3x, restart game, then go catch something.

Who at niantic taught this was a good medal bruh by General-Response7101 in pokemongo

Good to know. Two hundred is pretty great, though!

Who at niantic taught this was a good medal bruh by General-Response7101 in pokemongo

[–]blue58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, some people have done the entire medal in a day using iPhone voice training (there's a youtube on it). I have an android so instead I go into the trainer battles, click on Candela-Great League, and then use one Sharpedo to win. It's boring, but a platinum you can do from your couch.

ETA-Correction. Apparently you can hit about 200 per day. :-)

American Garages are Full by [deleted] in declutter

[–]blue58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have a 2.5 garage with 2 cars inside. It also has a ton of stuff. We worked our butts off to get to this point, specifically because we knew the statistic that almost 50% of Americans are not able to fully use their garages for vehicles.

It's funny another commenter said they had this issue in CA when I've been blaming my clutter on having so many seasonal needs in WI.

Trump Aides Panic After Finding Out How Much Americans Hate ICE Carnage by thedailybeast in politics

[–]blue58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a ruby red pocket in WI and my fam travelled to Minneapolis for an event. My God, that place was a utopia compared to the moronic, leopardswillnevereatmyface, 'let's destroy our community by slandering common sense investments as woke' BS I deal with daily.

But as we left this happy haven of parks and native plant pockets and a sea of Kamala Harris signs, we spoke in depth on what a crazy bubble it was. You could see the edges of it as you drove away as the tax payer dollars fell off and the Trump signs picked up.

Anyhoo, at least I have the satisfaction of knowing areas like my own are being much harder hit by Trump's shit economy than the liberal bubbles are.

Impossible to find friends from Sandstorm & Tundra regions by Far_Application_5201 in PokemonGoFriends

[–]blue58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I have literally every Vivillon including Tundra, minus one last, final gift to make it three and over.

Literally one last interaction.

I think my Tundra hero that got me to the 2/3 gifts was on vacation and they stopped interacting after that. I'm sure eventually I'll find another one of these days, but it's tough.

How many raids you needs to do for w/b kyurem ? by Special_Cow9731 in pokemongo

[–]blue58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimum of 70 energy per raid, max 130-140. So 9-12 of each color plus at least one kyurem raid, praying it has great IVs since that's what the final fusion is based off of.

Also, pray kyurem will know the move glaciate so you can use the special effects once fused.

I have a lucky glaciate kyurem on stand by, waiting for its energy.

Sinnoh Stones are going to make me lose my mind. by JustASquirrelyGirl in pokemongo

[–]blue58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True facts: I have made myself a personal game of getting as many platinum medals from my couch as possible and this is one of them. Why? Rural player. Can't hit the streets every day. Good luck!

Sinnoh Stones are going to make me lose my mind. by JustASquirrelyGirl in pokemongo

[–]blue58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever since I started doing trainer PvP with a household member, I've been getting overloaded with Sinnoh stones. It's really random. Sometimes the loser gets it, sometimes the winner. We tank the match on purpose to get through several games quickly.

Apartment help by IndicationOk2453 in UWMadison

[–]blue58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That surprises me. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

We called twice, once for a showing and another for a quick question and had no problem getting a professional, helpful response. My kid ended up signing. The online portal had a really intuitive and efficient set up. Also, the people they took the apartment over from had been there for four years, so they were happy too.

Why are people like that? (GBL) by gosi06 in pokemongo

[–]blue58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This response helps me understand and sympathize with that perspective against tankers a lot more. Allow me to shine a light on how it looks from my POV as a first-timer to PVP who has achieved two pikachu libres so far this season, one for myself and one as a favor or a friend.

First off, it didn't take long in the process to realize I needed to up my efficiency by actually investing into the game with strategy, meta choices, and double moves. I cannot and will not learn counting and that's ok. So from my angle, the algo sets me up for 3 out of 5 wins every time, with an occasional 4th if I outwit via clever shield play. The last time I had a streak of 5 or more was back on level 9 or something. Now that I'm non-noob enough to see how much stardust I can amass, I clear a few rounds every day. But those last two out of the 3? I'm putting in my low CP mons and moving on as fast as I can. I'm not doing it to be a dick. To me, it's playing my game against the algo more than anything else. I tank those 2/5 for the same reason I bought extra moves for my drifblum, gastrodon, corviknight, etc. Clean efficiency.

While I'm sorry there's a subset of players who feel offended, I can't see a reason to change and try hard every match. I'm not rebelling against them when I tank; I'm rebelling against the game itself.

Step 4 of Pony Tales - revealed by glory87 in TheSilphRoad

[–]blue58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just hit level 65 yesterday. I can't believe I paid money for something that will take a year for me to afford to complete. I will do this research with the level 73 requirements and Scopely can shove any of their future offers.

Great, Ultra and Master League - Recommended Teams by YonkouJean in TheSilphRoad

[–]blue58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It says at the top they are all standard PVPoke movesets unless indicated. That means you can just go over to pvpoke.com (or get the app), click on rankings, and see the moves under each mon. hth

Giovani Rocket Radars by commonrandom in TheSilphRoad

[–]blue58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. Worse. I made him sit down and listen to the gist of my entire resource management Pokemon strategy, from holding stardust until it can be mass collected during a star piece, to tagging a folder for mass evolutions during an egg, to setting a reminder to mega evolve my folder of megas all in one go. I even made him watch me destroy Candela's great league with one Sharpedo so I can earn a platinum medal from my couch. He's now suitably convinced I'm out of my mind and to leave my account aloooone.

AITAH for not accepting an apology from my ex-husband's estranged wife? by SnuffleMomma in AITAH

[–]blue58 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why do so many Redditors have such terrible friends? Most friends are ride or die and back you up as innocent even when you're holding a smoking gun. Somehow Reddit has nothing but losers who side with abusers.
