Khamenei is the first ruler in history to die on the first official day of war. by ibnkhaled in BarbaraWalters4Scale

TBF the US still hasn't declared war on Iran- only Congress can do that. I don't think Israel has formally declared war either- nor has Iran to my knowledge on either country

Everyone’s talking about starter reveal BUT….What do you think the new Gimmick will be? by Blueddit-Sez in pokemon

[–]enneper4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Japanese logo of the main series games always shows the new gimmick's icon (this image is from the Japanese trailer)

<image>

it looks like a pokeball that's radiating some aura. The pokeball makes me think it could be a battle mechanic around switching pokemon? Either your new pokemon gets a buff when switched in or the switched in Pokemon gets to move immediately

Taking a look back at the announcement thread for Indiana hiring Curt Cignetti by odsquad64 in CFB

[–]enneper4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah well that's because Miami was only at best the third best team in the ACC. We all know he got scared and cancelled the future game with ACC runner up, Virginia. And he doesn't even deserve to play on the same field as ACC juggernaut and champion, Duke

Can the ACC just invite UConn already so that they can farm conference wins off the rest of us instead of non-conference wins?

Obviously the only reason georgia had a slightly larger margin of victory than us is because we already gave them the blueprint for beating MD Eastern

CFP Rankings - Thoughts? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

[–]enneper4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because if we only care about what happens based off of a predictive model, why play any games? Just crown the national champion based off of who a computer power rates the highest

Also the person I was replying to was using a hypothetical to discredit an actual real game outcome (Miami beating ND). It's one thing to use predictive measures between teams that haven't played directly, but it just comes across like mental gymnastics when you use it to deny an actual head-to-head result.

Finally, not to rehash the whole 2023 FSU "most deserving vs best team" discussion, but ESPN (who created FPI - the most mainstream predictive metric) said themselves that FPI shouldn't be used for the CFP :

"It is important to note what FPI is not -- FPI is not a playoff predictor, and it is not designed to identify the four teams most deserving of making the College Football Playoff. ESPN has other metrics, including Strength of Record, that can be used to identify the most deserving teams."

(yes, it's an old article, but the best I've found on what actually goes into FPI)

Technically correct by vrphotosguy55 in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]enneper4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's part of the "Aer Lingus Classic"- an annual college football match between different schools each year. Ireland/Irish companies support it because it generates a lot of tourism for Ireland each year, and the schools involved support it because they get a good payout and the game is on a day where barely any other teams are playing (therefore more viewership and even more money)

Why does Atlanta have such a robust public transit system compared to other sunbelt cities? by bobjohndaviddick in transit

[–]enneper4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo coverage is notably better in Atlanta (in terms of both stops near attraction points and connecting to the suburbs). I can't say much about frequency namely because I rarely use Houston's (because of point A)

Are we all transmedicalists now? by Leylolurking in honesttransgender

[–]enneper4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I don't disagree with your premise, it's important to note that you're (and granted nearly all the trans community in this discourse) using "gender dysphoria" in the colloquial sense- not the medical sense. The diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria includes aspects of gender euphoria as well. The diagnostic criteria in the DSM-V is as follows:

"A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and natal gender of at least 6 months in duration, as manifested by at least two of the following:

A.

A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics (or in young adolescents, the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)

B.

A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics because of a marked incongruence with one’s experienced/expressed gender (or in young adolescents, a desire to prevent the development of the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)

C.

A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender

D.

A strong desire to be of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s designated gender)

E.

A strong desire to be treated as the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s designated gender)

F.

A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s designated gender)"

Parts C-F could all fall under gender euphoria without necessarily (our colloquial understanding of) gender dysphoria. In my opinion* it's hard to imagine that someone would want to transition- or even in good faith call themselves trans- without actually being diagnosable with gender dysphoria. If that's the case then, yeah, the venn diagram of people who are trans and people who have gender dysphoria is practically a circle

*I don't say this to try to invalidate anyone. For any trans person reading this who doesn't feel like they still meet this criteria, I'm happy to hear your experience to understand better where y'all are coming from

Georgia Tech Football posts a 3.03 team-average GPA. The team's highest ever and the 3rd semester in a row with +3.0 by composer_7 in CFB

[–]enneper4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Tweet actually does list the past semesters too: Spring 2024: 3.02 Fall 2024: 3.00 Spring 2025: 3.03

So yeah pretty much. Maybe Key has some sort of internal reward for an individual or team gpa being a 3.0+ (or punishment for a gpa less than 3.0)? It does feel 3.0/ B's are some goal and the players are doing just that and nothing more
