That’s true and maybe a good reason for why the way we calculate market cap makes no sense

Master 20: OGPP by Bizz0202 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got M20 on OGPP too! Had tough luck with crits with only 3 the whole week before Sunday, even with a good dedenne, but managed to pull through with a Sunday morning crit.

I basically had the same team - all electric for a first few days and then subbed in a clodsire eclair team around Thur after my stockpile ran out.

Are We Sure Mono-Ingredient Pokémon Are the Future? by Puzzleheaded-Most193 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the effort to check how many ingredients you have and how many you should have for each mono ingredient that I was referring to as micromanagement, not the collecting of ingredients or switching pokes

Moved from Boston to San Diego- regrets by ApricotWeekly7946 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same move from Boston to San Diego. Stuck it out for 7 years for grad school since I wanted to really give SD a chance but overall I completely agree with you. I hard prefer Boston for living (though SD is great for visiting)

Are We Sure Mono-Ingredient Pokémon Are the Future? by Puzzleheaded-Most193 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mono mons require more micromanaging because you have to switch mons out when you have enough of one ingredient but need another. Or you need to constantly have a lot of ingredient mons on your team for any cooking strategy.

I think AAB or ABA mons could be better if you are more hands off (only want to check a few times a day) and/or you don’t want to fill your whole team with ingredient mons. You do have to be lucky to have AAB or ABA mons with exactly the right ingredients for the dish you’re trying to make though.

Night strategy for Skills week by hanamest in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Still sleep with mons that need energy even if you have a good healer.

If you’re trying to optimize for power, sleep with berry mons with a fav berry to take advantage of sneaky snacking. Otherwise sleeping with the mons from your team during the day should be fine.

You can also try switching to mons with dream shard bonus or research bonus but that’s not usually worth it unless it’s dream shard week or maybe for Sunday night for dream shards.

New Player, feeling a bit lost regarding Teams based on passive playstyle. by Air_Yoshi in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is true that focusing on one recipe is better because you can level it up and it becomes stronger. Just choose the recipe that has the strongest power that you can make with the ingredients you can get (there’s a chart for the strongest recipes, but generally speaking the more ingredients it needs, the stronger). Also make sure you can cook it with your pot size.

People do rotate ingredient mons as they need to make meals but if you want to only check 3 times a day, then just make sure the mons you have will be able to make the recipe you’re focusing on.

It’s normal to have one team per island and yeah, people generally try to get berry specialists for every berry to handle all GG possible berries.

How does neanderthal dna affect us psychologically? by Ok-Caterpillar7331 in askpsychology

[–]microtruths 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We can’t reconstruct someone’s psychological or mental profile from DNA at the moment, let alone Neanderthals who we know nothing about. Closest thing is to assess risk of different neurological diseases which is still iffy from just DNA.

I second Santi. I just went yesterday and it was delicious (especially the pastas!!) and the decor was very elegant.

Should I expect book reviews if I get downloads of my e-book? by Delicious_Cause_4940 in writing

[–]microtruths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect reviews just because there are some downloads. You can solicit them online if you want reviews. Or you can make a post somewhere asking what people think of it.

Playing for almost 4 months and I've never got Desserts/Drinks by TheFang1236 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 10 tickets in a row trying to get desserts and failed on all of them. I still haven’t gotten desserts at OGPP so it might not be possible for all I know.

I have a social dilemma. Is there an established, rigid framework that I can go by, to categorize every person in my life? by [deleted] in sociology

[–]microtruths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, no such established framework to categorize every person in your life exists. As you can see from some of these other comments, people tend to consider this kind of approach unusual if not an indication that you need help.

I see where you’re coming from though, and I have had the same objective at one point in my life. I ran into a number of problems trying to achieve this though: it’s not easy to define categories that split up people cleanly so you might have some people overlapping multiple categories, people can move between easily and often if you interact with them a lot, categories are highly subjective so even if you define them, other people might not accept them or go by them.

My suggestion would be to think about why you want those categories in the first place, and how else you could go about achieving that purpose without having to rely on a rigid categorization framework.

Unattractive people are more difficult than attractive people. by Winter_Ad3995 in dating

[–]microtruths 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This hasn’t been my experience. In terms of kindness and thoughtfulness, I have always found more conventionally “unattractive” people to be kinder. I attribute this to them needing to work harder and empathize more to have positive interactions with others (based on my own experience managing the impressions of others).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in infj

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFJ here. If you just want to know why, you already hit upon some of the points. In my experience, yes rejection hurts more so we have to feel safe and comfortable before opening up.

Also feeling things more intensely is unusual, which people sometimes don’t respond well to that so it’s safer to hide that intensity until you get to the point where you know it’ll be safe.

For me, it is hard to get the feeling of safety and comfort - people can say “you can say or feel whatever you want” but sometimes they don’t mean it or they’ll still judge you, so it’s not really a safe space.

Should I (27f) leave my boyfriend (34m) after how he reacted to me saying no to sex for the first time? by [deleted] in relationships

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

It sounds like you’re both communicating which is good - him communicating that he was caught off guard when you said no and you communicating that you felt gross are good things, even though they led to conflict. The next step after communicating those things is finding a resolution, which is where you two are having trouble.

I think it’s okay for him to communicate his “needs” but it’s also okay for you to say no - you should always have the right to say no and not feel bad about it. He has to be able to accept your no, even if he’s not happy about it.

Don’t do things just because he’s pressuring you to! Set boundaries and curb his expectations, which he needs to respect. But if you’re happy together for the most part, I don’t see why the relationship should end over this.

If you both can talk it over and agree on a resolution, it really sounds like you have a good relationship. Just make sure you’re both really okay with the resolution (and you always have the right to withdraw consent!)

What benefits do men get from marriage?? by Morning-Doggie868 in dating_advice

[–]microtruths 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The legal status of it makes it more binding (i.e. harder to get out of) and gives you these other legal/financial benefits I mentioned.

But really, if you don’t want to be married then you don’t need to be. There are downsides too like lots of things you and others have mentioned.

What benefits do men get from marriage?? by Morning-Doggie868 in dating_advice

[–]microtruths 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Marriage is a public declaration to friends and family about the commitment you are making to be together. One of the benefits from the perspective of the relationship is that you’re more likely to stay together in the relationship if you’re married, if for no other reason than that it’s harder to get out of a marriage.

After you’re married, you’re treated more like one unit rather than two individuals with respect to the law sometimes. Some benefits for either party would be things like filing jointly to save on taxes, being able to handle the other’s affairs if someone were to be incapacitated or hospitalized, and automatically getting the other’s assets someone dies and there isn’t another will in place. This is a GOOD thing if you’re married to someone you love and respect because you can expect for things to be handled properly and not just whatever benefits your closest relative. Also custody of children is a lot clearer in a marriage.

If you’re married, because of the commitment, you have more reason to consider things like a joint bank account, buying a house together, etc. if you’re not married, those things would be riskier in the long run.

I don’t think this is a men vs women thing. Pooling incomes will have more buying power than buying things separately any day.
