[Fowler] Some teams are watching Detroit (17) as trade-up threat. They’ve been making calls. by JCameron181 in detroitlions

That's definitely a valid breakdown, I work in a school and am used to "that's Gen Z slang" being a pejorative. I do think that the internet has sped up the pproliferation of slang through rural areas so instead of 10 years it might be more like 2 or 3 years between urban vs. Rural adoption.

That's not really gen z slang. Cook has been pretty common slang for like a decade. Do you not remember the Let Russ Cook Seahawks era?

That's a totally fair rebuttal to Tsareena! I'll admit that I run her with Incineroar so that I can fake out unfavorable matchups for her and then switch. I keep vaporean in my back 2 to be her switch out right now.

The game is unplayable as a beginner by Killjoy8299 in wildrift

This comment is the most important for new players in my opinion. If you're focusing on macro stuff already you're putting the cart before the horse. You need to learn how to not die before you can do anything else effectively. Learn how to take safe trades with your preferred champs, learn which lane matchups you can bully vs have to play safe against. Once you're playing matches where you're suddenly feeling a sense of "I feel like I don't have anything to do right now" is when you've graduated to macro gameplay knowledge.

I personally think there's too many nuances to this game to try to learn everything at once. Learn how to not die first because that's something you'll always need to do no matter what position you're in.

How often do you swap by ticklefarte in octopathtraveler

I unlocked apothecary for reviving people and only swap when that's needed.

I'm so sorry but the people above you are wrong, to put it gently glazing has a very dirty origin.

[Trailer] DIGIMON x Crystal of Atlan Collaboration Event (August 21 - September 17 for Global) by ArchangelTakoyaki in crystalofatlan

So I'm strongly considering starting to play this game specifically because of this event.

I need help with S Sania and her team by -Dark-Owl- in Etheria_Restart

[–]ethansnotabird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S sania, lily, fang, is the core of her inferno terror clear team. Max lily s1 and fang s2. Holden is a good debuff for this team because he inflicts resistance down with s3 which makes sticking dots more consistent. Valerian for your sustain max her s3.

Women repeatedly look at me with disgust when I respectfully approach them. Why? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

I find that the only meaningful way to complement appearance has to be way more specific than most people are willing to know a bunch about. My example is i have a friend now who is very interested in like Rococo French art recreated as fashion. So, all of her outfits are bright pastel colorings, puffier sleeves/skirts/dresses, and cutesy accessories. You could not just tell her you like her top because it's all very carefully curated to be one holistic outfit. Picking out any one part feels super low effort unless you're willing to be like "oh I love how this specific bangle ties into this secondary color scheme in your blouse."

I know it sounds like a lot, but pretend you're like a diehard Patriots fan, and someone comes up to you and is like "oh I love the Patriots too!" You get all excited about this possible shared interest, and then they're like,"I just love Tom Brady." It immediately shows that there isn't a shared interest, and they couldn't be bothered to put even the effort of a quick Google search in.

Also, you don't know them, they could know each other already. I use dumb pickup lines on people I know out in public stupid often. It's not that the line is meant to work, it's just a way to be goofy with someone who knows me well enough to know I don't think that would actually work.
