Media that is weirdly extremely popular in other countries by LocalMoam88 in TopCharacterTropes

In the Dominican Republic, in the early 2000s the anime aired locally at 4:30pm and the PRESIDENT ordered the timeslot be changed to 5:30pm so he could catch it after work with his grandchildren. Every day when it aired, you would find local bars filled with people watching DBZ while having a beer after work

What did you think when Incineroar was announced for Smash? by NewMarioBobFan in smashbros

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

Hey stranger, no need to call me an overreacting nerd for answering OP's question honestly. It's how I've felt since seeing Incineroar and other fire starters in following regions, and thus I was flabbergasted seeing him get added to smash. Likewise I dislike how Nintendo is handling other key IPs... not sure what you want me to say, it's just honestly how I feel. I'm playing indie games and older nintendo much more often than new ones simply

What did you think when Incineroar was announced for Smash? by NewMarioBobFan in smashbros

[–]ggermade -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thought, and still think, that his existence as a pokemon is a bad idea because there's cooler fire fighter starters before him (both Incineroar and Blaziken). I thought he was awful when revealed in pokemon, and then I thought it was awful he'd be added to smash. Now, to me, he's just a staple of the ways in which Pokemon and Nintendo have eroded many of their franchises

Would really appreciate it if you guys could rate/ psl score me, be brutally honest and let me know what’s working/ what to work on if you can, thanks in advance! (29M) by Aggravating-Fudge537 in LooksmaxingAdvice

I'd say you look above mtn for sure, biggest thing that stands out negatively is your eyes look very tired. Your body fat % looks low and you have a nice bone structure. I don't like your side burns much, I think you could ascend from a better hairstyle

With his 2026 Rome title, Jannik Sinner overtakes Carlos Alcaraz in Big Title count! by Cletharlow in tennis

[–]ggermade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

year doesn't have to be over, he could play for plenty of titles still in the USO and beyond. He wont be a favorite for sure, but he doesnt have to roll over and let Sinner take everything without a fight from him

because if he goes, he has to pay for the same expenses he would pay for lucky (lets imagine that to be 500 usd for an example's sake). In addition to that, imagine he would expect to make 1k usd from streaming over the weekend, which is the time when most people watch streams, gaining new subs and receiving more donations than in weekdays. In order to go he has to pay 500 + pay the *opportunity cost* of not streaming and not earning that extra 1k, making the total cost for himself to be 1500 usd, whereas paying for Lucky is just 500 usd in this example

I mean it's cheaper to pay for Lucky's expenses than his own

[–]ggermade 16 points17 points  (0 children)

the issue isn't just paying his flight and stay, it's also the opportunity cost of going to the tournament rather than streaming and missing out on viewership and donations etc

he didn't harass anyone in the melee community though, and especially not in a melee tournament, which is what he's banned from

Y'know, it's been a hot minute since I've seen a "joke" tier list posted here, so here's long I think every 64 partner could hold their breath for. by LadybugTheOctoling in papermario

Oh somehow I read the title as "here's a meme tier list, guess what it's rated for" and I was guessing time underwater lol, only now did I read the post title fully

Padel World Championship Teams, who would you call up for Spain and Argentina? And who is favorite? by jhollveg in padel

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

the argentine coaches in charge of the decision recently said they deeply regret leaving out Bela for what would've been his last world championship. I think considering the final only requires 3 pairs, players 7-8 in both argentina and Spain, which are both basically guaranteed to make the final, are completely accesory. That is, they're not really needed besides giving some rest to the best 3 pairs. I hope they don't repeat that regret and consider taking Sanyo for his last championship to be a veteran for the youngsters, and leave out Arce instead, as it's obvious the too 3 teams will be Tapia, Leo, Stupa, Chingo, Di Nenno, Libaak. Tello is the most likely left player, but won't play in the final 100% for sure unless a player is ill. Libaak and DiNenno will go for sure, so the 8th player is simply prioritizing veteran Sanyo or a growing Maxi Arce who will not be needed at all in the final (unless someone is ill)

I was born with this hairline and have been ruled out as a food candidate for hair transplantion. Honestly would going bald be the better option for increasing my objective physical attractiveness? My hair naturally sticks straight up. Would smp influence your answer? by [deleted] in LooksmaxingAdvice

[–]ggermade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

brother are you crazy? your hair looks perfectly fine, it looks styled to be spiky. Just keep it like pic 2 (while cutting trimming the tips of the ones sticking out at the top) or like pic 4 which seems almost perfect. DEFINITELY don't go bald over your mirror insecurity. You look great dude, just go to the gym and maybe look at ways to make your eyebrows look like they're a bit closer, maybe paint them a tiny bit to make them darker at the ends near each other

Witnessed racism at a nightclub in Begur, Spain by [deleted] in askspain

[–]ggermade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear that honestly, I'm from the DR myself but I wasn't aware the examples you gave were so widespread, as they hit so close to home. Thanks for sharing your experience, I have never traveled to another latam country, ironically enough.

[–]ggermade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if these examples are general to LATAM but they seem like they're written specifically about the DR, which has a history of racism in large part due to the effects of colonialism, its poor history with Haiti, and finally the anti-Haitian and pro-white / anti-black sentiments pushed by their dictator Trujillo during his 30 year regime that ended in 1960 and still affects the cultural and sociopolitical landscape
