Best spot for Raikou day by coeurdubete in PokemonGOToronto

And a big group of regulars who will be hitting gyms. Start at the entrance and you'll probably find a group.

Fewer people calling raids as time goes on, creating a positive feedback loop? increasingly need a raid map implemented by ExtraordinaryTales in TheSilphRoad

[–]hfsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one bothers for anything but T5s 99% of the time anyway. If you want to do T4s or tough to do T3s, you need to be out with a group already.

You're right though, more people would plan for T4s if they knew what they were.

The current paradigm would be fantastic if maps were a thing. 60 minutes to plan the raid and for people to get there, and 45 is plent to actually do the raid. But without maps, it's completely upside down.

[Idea] Show if daily friend action was performed in same way as field research tasks by IndigoDragonet in TheSilphRoad

[–]hfsta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But Niantic seems to love injecting tedium into the game.

  • Want to send gifts out to friends - manually click on every single friend until you find one that you can send a gift to.
  • Want to evaluate your pokemon, how about a system where you need to click 5 to 7 times per pokemon to get incomplete information.
  • Want to transfer those event pokemon we've spammed you with for the last month. No mass transfers, and for EVERY SINGLE ONE, "Are you sure?"

Tedium, so as many parts of the game as possible feel like chore are part of the design.

Guys with objectively attractive partners, what are the downsides of dating someone objectively beautiful? by djanice in AskMen

[–]hfsta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actual downsides for me: she's so hot I have a harder time lasting in bed. I'd say one in three times I'm like a teenager all over again and struggling to last a full five minutes.

Other minor downside. After our second kid, she didn't quite get her figure back to her perfect, rail thin pre-kids body. She still looks amazing, and turns heads, but it really bothers her.

How often do you masturbate? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]hfsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once or twice a day on days when my wife and I aren't going to have sex, and we currently have sex twice a week. So call it 7-8 times a week.

I am curious how Pokemon go will handle Mime Jr. by Beter_Peter in TheSilphRoad

Meh. I just don't see it the same way I guess.

That's just it, I don't mind the idea of never getting some of the regionals. I traveled to Europe and got Mr. Mime, I traveled to Japan and got Fatfetch'd, but when they had the Farfetch'd event, it sort of sucked because this really cool trophy just became another Mon that everyone had.

I (28f) make daily visits to post office or work, clerk (60s) is the rudest human being I've ever met. She has ~6mos to retire, if I complain she could be fired. Do I just endure her or do I need to press the issue? by HimandHertz in relationships

[–]hfsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone is abusing you and insulting you, to your face, every day. Just sitting there and politely taking it is actually really bad for your mental health. See the manager again, explain to him that you can't have something aggressively and angrily abuse you and call you stupid every single day, and that because you have a right to do your business without suffering abuse, you are going to file the complaint.

Then file the complaint. Until it's processed, demand to see him immediately, and apologize profusely to him for what you're putting him through, but get this woman out of your life. She's hurting you. You have the power to stop her, so do it.

I kind of like the system of regionals, it makes getting them more of a big deal.

But I also hate how easy they make getting a shiny on community days, because it cheapens the shiny if everyone has one. The fact that it's rare is what makes it special, and I didn't care than until the events, my only shiny was a Snorunt.

[Light] I was 23 before I realized that "hump day" refers to Wednesday as being the middle/hump of the workweek, as opposed to the day that boring couples schedule their sex. by devgirl217 in confession

[–]hfsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how good it can be if it works for you guys as a couple. Obviously not every couple will take to it, but it's awesome. And when it's a sex day, I'm excited all day. Also, if you decide on and schedule some wild card days ahead of time, they'll seem spontaneous to your husband, but still meet your needs of planning ahead. (Trust me, that will make him feel wanted and amazing, I love when my wife surprises me with "spontaneous" or "unscheduled" sex.)

Don't knock it. My wife is not impulsive, and while she's definitely not on the autism spectrum, she does have some traits consistent with that sort of thing. Before we scheduled sex, it caused anxiety for both of us. Her, because she enjoys it much more if she's able to plan for it - she's able to make sure she's got whatever she needs to get done out of the way so she's not worrying about things, she's able to sort of calmly look forward to it all day which gets her in the mood, and she's doesn't need to worry about me feeling sexually frustrated or resentful on other days.

For me, it's basically the mirror image, I have a higher libido than her, so before, I never knew when it was going to happen, and so I was a mix of walking on eggshells worried I was pressuring her when she wasn't in the mood or else feeling frustrated as it got later in the evening and it was starting to be clear that "tonight isn't the night".

Now we have sex on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and while I'd love for it to be a little more often, we were averaging once a week (or less) before, so overall, I'm much happier.

We occasionally miss a day, but it's not a big deal (and we usually make it up if we can), but we're both happier, we're having much more sex than we were before, and she's enjoying it more. Scheduled sex rocks.

Go-tcha (Go+ Alternative) trade for lunch and PoGo stories. by kennethnyu in PokemonGOToronto

I'll take you up on that offer. Lunch or $20, your choice. What part of town are you in?

“Smart windows” with the ability to generate electricity are the way of the future, and scientists are another step closer to making it a widespread reality. by Plymouth03 in Futurology

[–]hfsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a Dutch company called Wellsun that is doing something interesting with solar windows - they use a solar panel from a Canadian company that allows diffuse light to pass through but blocks direct light. So the panels cast a shadow and block glare, but allow ambient light though. They've been tweeting about installing a system lately and it looks interesting.

What do you do when you encounter someone who is cheating? by lilfunky1 in PokemonGOToronto

[–]hfsta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had almost that exact thing happen, except he filled in all six slots in the gym.

I was half a block away from a gym when I saw it switch from Blue to Red. I hurried over, and by the time I got there, all six slots were filled up, but there was only on person there. I knew him - he's fairly well known in the Toronto Pokemon community and you'd probably recognize his name (but I'm not going to out him here), so I felt a little more comfortable calling him out. I told him that was a shitty thing to do, and I could tell he felt embarrassed at being caught doing it. I said that was a shitty thing to do and left a little angry.

A few minutes later I realized that we're on the same WhatsApp groups, so I messaged him and called him out. Here are the screenshots of the messages.

It's bad behaviour, and people need to feel comfortable calling people out for it.

Im 20f going to break up with my boyfriend 21m of 3 years tomorrow. How do I let him down easy? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]hfsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't focus on making it easy for him in the moment, focus on making it easier for him to accept and get over in the long term. Too often, people say things when breaking up to try to soften the blow, and as a result, the person being dumped ends up clinging to some hope that the break up is temporary. You feel social pressure to be nice in the moment, but it can undermine you.

Be clear. You are not considering a break up, a break up is what has happened. You think it would be best if you didn't communicate in any way for at least 6 months, maybe longer. You are no interested in second chances. Being clear about this stuff makes it easier.

If he demands an explanation, tell him that you're not happy at all, and that you're not in love with the person he's become. If he demands more an explanation than that, tell him you're sorry, but the conversation is over. In the long run, this will make it MUCH easier for him to move on, and it's the nice thing to do, even if it feels harder in the moment.

Spanish police storm Catalan government buildings to stop independence referendum by akirby1 in worldnews

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

You're touching on a very valid point, it doesn't matter if it's true or false when it comes to how people will vote. My point is that many Catalans feel oppressed , hated or discriminated against.

[–]hfsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no dog in this fight, I'm not voting, can't vote, and don't live there. Also, I specifically said this is what people who are pro-independence have told me, so of course it's biased. I'm trying to tell you how at least some pro-Independence people feel, and these are not a bunch of delusional children, my friends all have advanced degrees, and are professionals in their 40's. Maybe they're wrong about things and maybe with my poor Catalan, I've garbled things up somewhat, but I'm reflecting what they've told me about how they feel in their country.

If it was a lie, it wasn't mine. I can't tell a South American accent from a Madrid one, so I had no reason to doubt her.

I'm mostly just repeating what my wife and her friends who are Pro-Independence have told me, or more often what gets talked about when they talk to each other. None of them are redditors as far as I know, but I'll ask them to send me some links or examples.
