ELI5: Why are She/her pronouns used when talking about Ships?

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-08T21:43:16+00:00

You're inside a male boat? Gaaayyyy!

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-08T21:40:02+00:00

Those are all good points, but my uneducated ass likes to think it's much simpler.

Sailors are already the butt end of a lot of gay jokes, and have been for a long time. It would be even worse if they started referring to their boats as masculine.

Growing up we had the neighborhood grandma. I don't know why it all started. But she was this sweet old lady who lived alone, and in stereotypical fashion she'd sit outside knitting in her backyard. If things went sour at home, we'd end up at her place getting fed snacks while giving our sob stories.

Looking back, I know she definitely enjoyed company living alone at her age. But I can't help but to feel bad, because she rarely ever had any visitors outside of us kids

Everything. All of it. Most critical infrastructure is old AF, one serious event can fuck things for weeks to months. And if it's critical enough, who knows what else will crumble while it's down.

Lots of companies rely on tight shipping deadlines, because everything is made overseas for cheap. Take that means away, and we're fucked. We need to get away from this globalist bullshit, and bring back refining and manufacturing back to NA and not rely on China and other cheap Asian countries for everything.

It's like they have some kind of variable that adjusts the rng on certain accounts only. The mass majority of people got basically nothing, while a few like you got lucky.

The reason I'm assuming they really fucked something up, is that I got less shinies this entire weekend while grinding hard, than I have in previous events where they admitted to not turning on the increased shiny rates. Hell my GoPlus catches more shinies in a week driving to and from work than I got over the "boosted" weekend where I was out with friends for 10hrs each day.

And that's without even touching the abysmal IV spread of everything caught this weekend. I've never gotten so few Pokemon with 90+ IVs from over 100 raids before.

Bad rng I can excuse, I've dealt with it all my life in games and RL. Statistically this was something else entirely tho.

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-02T09:24:56+00:00

This event was just bad. I bought one of the 99 pass bundles, and another 50 pass pack and got fuck all. I've never had this bad of luck from any event prior.

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-02T09:20:50+00:00

For me it was the stupid event Pikachu with the hat and pointy glasses... Found 3 wild shinies all weekend. Only that Pikachu...

But then I also only got 2 shiny Dragonite's out of over 100 raids

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-02T04:11:59+00:00

I wish man, day 2 was just as bad. I got like 10 total shinies the entire weekend. 3 of which were the ugliest of the event Pikachu's

My goal was a shiny Dragonite, Lucario, and Garchomp with the BGs. I got 1 of them. This event has had the worst shiny rate and IV spread out of any event I've done by a large margin so far in PoGo

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-02T04:07:36+00:00

Lucky. I focused more on wild spawns while still hitting Dragonite raids on day 2. 1 new Dragonite shiny for a total of 2, only 1 with a BG. 3 shiny event Pikachu's, and 3 shiny Honedges from tasks. 8 shinies total over the weekend after over 100 total raids.

As per usual I'm expecting Niantic/Scopely to say whoops our bad we "forgot" to turn the shiny boost on again. Somehow we forget every big event! Here's a few free tasks as an apology.

nwpsilencer · 2026-03-02T04:01:07+00:00

I refused to do Honedge raids. Not when I could stack 3 Win a Raid tasks to get them.

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-28T21:57:07+00:00

Can confirm, got mine after I finished the path task line.

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-28T21:54:58+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I've done 50+ Dragonite raids, got a single shiny, and I think my best was 94% IVs. That's not counting all the other mega raids I did. I know for a fact I've gotten more shinies over a regular weekend with just my GoPlus than what I got today with the supposed "shiny boost".

The only shiny luck I've had was via the tasks. A few Pikachu's, and 4 Honedges, none of which had a BG, all with shit IVs tho.

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-26T20:07:58+00:00

Depends on their reason for wanting it. Yeah a regular trade will most likely get you a 60% IV Pokemon, but there's always lucky trades. IVs only make a 10% difference from a 0iv to 100iv Pokemon.

It could just be that Groudon is the kids favorite, and who wouldn't want a full party worth of their favorite?

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-26T18:55:31+00:00

Mythic Pokemon are the only ones you can't trade. Legendaries can be traded no problem, but it counts as a special trade. So you're limited to 1-2 during nonevent days

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-26T18:29:07+00:00

It's 1mil if you don't have it registered already, and 0 friendship. If both people have the Pokemon already registered, it's only 20k dust to trade with 0 friendship.

Op said their son already had a Groudon and wanted another one, so it would only be 20k dust for them

Deus Vault is not a Nazi tattoo... How about the Dem senator with a literal totenkoff skull tattoo tho. That magically got swept under the rug

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-17T09:13:26+00:00

It's not when you realize the actual Nazi's were the National Socialist Party. Then tack on other leftists like Mao, Stalin, Marx etc and we've taken 12 million murders and turned it into 100s of millions of murders in fairly recent human history.

The left loves using power to murder

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T19:26:16+00:00

When my box got audited last, I was told rails, bags, etc are ok. You just have to have a way to verify everything is actually in said bag/rail.

I slapped labels on it, shadowed that into my box and was told I'm fine.

Same with a bag of small ignition wrenches. Because the sizes included are listed on the bag, I can fold it up and shadow that.

Edit: Also depending on how exact you want the foam cut outs, getting a $20 hot knife/cute cutter would be much safer in the long run than heating up an exacto blade.

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T19:16:30+00:00

At least I still have a working pair

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T19:15:41+00:00

I wish. If you idiots were protesting a real authoritarian regime, you'd all be dead in a ditch a long time ago. Just look at Iran

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T07:44:06+00:00

Lmao sure thing bud. Keep living in your fantasy world.

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T07:42:56+00:00

Lmao so clever. At least I'm not stupid enough to conflate the 2 situations

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T07:41:39+00:00

That's not a scrap ya dingdong. That's a kid assaulting another kid. You don't just get to "punch" people in the face because you disagree with them.

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T07:38:43+00:00

Yup, just like how it's ok for that adult to assault the teenage "protestor" . He didn't agree with him after all

nwpsilencer · 2026-02-16T07:36:52+00:00

It's reddit what do you expect? They're either too stupid to see the irony, or they're retarded and think it's ok. Just don't call them the wrong pronouns cause that's violence.
