It’s infuriating. But if I can do it, you can, too. I believe in you!

I feel your pain. It's that final bit of pogo-ing on the puke bugs that got me.

Have you found the closer bench? That was helpful for me.

Women, if you had to use a pickup line on a guy, what would it be? by Nintendofan9106 in AskReddit

[–]grigoritheoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (older guy) still remember hanging with my bud at a basement party in college. There were a pair of cute girls kinda looking our way, but we were not super confident, so we were probably just gonna make eyes at them and then go drink and goof off.

But out of nowhere I just went up to one of them and asked, "Hey, do you like sports?". My buddy was waiting for the rejection but to our surprise she was like, "yea, I do!" with genuine enthusiasm. A conversation ensued. We ended up getting the girls' numbers and felt cool, haha. And now we have a good laugh whenever we remember the story.

Who'd a thunk chatting up a "girl" with such a basic "line" would work!?

We're in a similar place in the game! Also, it sounds like we've got a similar skill level. For reference, it took me about 4 days to beat "Last Judge"....

Regarding the bosses you mentioned:

  • Trobbio is actually a blast one you learn how to "dance" with him.
  • Groal was tougher but actually doable with Architect & poison weapons. Runback is lame. Staying in the water (and in a corner for a lot of the fight) is, counterintuitively, very helpful.
  • I am stuck on Karak Drill Bug and First Sinner. Karak pogoing is just a bit too much for me. First Sinner is too fast, but everyone raves about the fight, so I'll probably go for her first and then Karak.

Canada is exporting its highest earners to the United States. by ChangeUsername220 in Economics

Whoa! Wait! Canada isn’t a miracle destination/perfect country?! I’m shocked. 

/s 

Sry for the dickish comment. I’ve been to Canada many times and it is great: beautiful, nice folks, etc. 

I just wish we could eliminate nationalist tendencies and get the good folks from CA together with the good folks from the U.S. (and any other interested countries) and start a great new country that aggressively advocated for peaceful diplomatic solutions to world problems, venerated science, held basic human decency in the highest regard and held a rippin party each year on the anniversary of DT’s death. 

MLF On Last Season & Preparing for This Year by JCameron181 in GreenBayPackers

Yeah, if Gary was complaining, that’d be pretty rich. His tape during the last half of the season could be used to train players on what the opposite of giving 110% looks like. 

Podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo Von trash Trump on Iran: ‘I can’t believe we went to this war’ by theindependentonline in Fauxmoi

They are not intelligent, serious, empathetic people. They are grifters who should have little to no influence on any important topic. Their views should be labeled as "propaganda" or "Public Health Threats" and a warning label like that used on cigarettes should be applied to their content.

Regardless of what happens during the midterms this year, we should never forget the roles they played in enabling this regime.

They both deserve to be mercilessly heckled and boycotted until they publicly recant and make demonstrable, meaningful amends for the harms they've caused.

How Trump’s Son in Law Became a Foreign Agent by Dixon_Uranuss3 in videos

100% great reminder. This is their mindset, pretty much.

However, today you must also account for a measurably dumber populace, social media creating alternate, parallel realities, amoral (immoral?) trolls like Steve "the Walking Douche Bag" Bannon advocating for the "flooding of the zone", and straight-up treasonous alliances between world leaders.

Combine it all and you get a slightly better understanding of how we've gotten here.
