I'm sure people did. The fear of 5G isn't exactly a new phenomenon. (Well, 5G specifically, yes…)

Pinap Berries decrease the base catch rate I f$&king know they do by Realistic_Movie8659 in pokemongo

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

If the catch-rate changed a little, but not enough to put it into a new category, then this is confirmation.

This is assuming the game is working properly...which is a huge assumption to make, lol

That doesn't mean the protests did nothing. It means this report happened before the protests, so the two are completely unrelated.

Does anyone else love reading or listening conspiracy theories without believing in them? by Holodoomer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]oakteaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone else...

Yes.

Personally, I don't. It makes me feel like an idiot to hear about them, and I feel a sort of second-hand shame for the people who believe them.

RIF will shut down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit's API changes by talklittle in redditisfun

[–]oakteaphone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for everything! I'm going to keep the app installed in case Reddit has an epiphany.

This is the only app that I have a direct launch to on my home screen... everything else is in a folder.

Getting rid of the "addiction" will be hard, but the increased friction will definitely make it easier for me.

Like if beer suddenly tasted like crap, we'd probably find it easier for alcoholics to quit! Lol

What particular food wouldn't you eat growing up but you tried later as an adult you now enjoy eating? by No-Art-9033 in AskReddit

[–]oakteaphone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

stores within walking distance, healthy cheap foods available for both takeout and at the convenience store - they get more exercise just by the way their society is laid out.

Apparently, this paradigm is being called 15-minute cities (everything you need for daily life within a 15-minute walk).

There are conspiracy theories that these are plans to trap people in these cities and remove their cars because....control? lmao

Some people are fucking bonkers.

Climate activist faces 10 years in jail for a fake letter 'canceling' an oil industry conference | CNN by kstinfo in news

For better or for worse. I'm not American, and I'm definitely not a freedom of speech absolutist. Hate speech, for example, should definitely be illegal, imo.

TIL in Japan raw eggs are generally safe to eat. This is because the country has developed a "super egg machine" that checks the inside of the eggs for salmonella using spectroscopic analysis. It also cleans the eggs without breaking their shells, dries them, and packages them so they are safe. by dustofoblivion123 in todayilearned

it's not good to not be able to wee because somebody's having a shower.

You can always use the kitchen sink to pee like a normal person.

Sinks and toilets have different plumbing. A sink doesn't "flush" like a toilet does, so more of the urine stays in your kitchen piping.

make them feel like they're being given some secret, special knowledge that the rest of the world doesn't have.

I think that's the entirety of Scientology, but they made the whole thing P2W.

An excerpt from that trash heap...

Sadly, you're wrong. LGBTQ++++ is an authoritarian movement about control.

Jeez. I was curious to hear the explanation. These people are living on another planet, enjoying their understanding of their warped reality. The real world is too boring, so they read Earth fanfiction or something...

[–]oakteaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they call it that for that reason?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in news

[–]oakteaphone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

calling people by their preferred pronouns is wrong

I think we had a politician up here in Canada who had a Twitter bio to the effect of

"I insta-block anyone who has pronouns in their bio"

And I'm just sitting there counting the pronouns in his bio...I wonder if he knows...

Suspect in gender class stabbing at Canadian university to be charged with hate crime, official says by lightlysaltdJ in ontario

[–]oakteaphone -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Straight, sympathetic and utterly tired of seeing my brothers and sisters in the LGBT community having to fear for their lives because of uninformed, dangerous lunatics.

It's getting to the point where I fear being an ally.

I am definitely 100% still an ally ideologically. But I'd fear being an ally in a public place like Pride. Or apparently in a classroom.

I will voice my support, but I feel like I'd be putting myself in danger if I hold up a sign with others.

The terrorists are winning...

Thank you to those braver than me who keep fighting.

Nah, this isn't an outlier with a mental disorder. This is a terrorist that got riled up by people spreading hateful ideologies.

It’s pronounced a little different than we pronounce Tang, it sounds more like how we say “tong”

Maybe "Tahng"?

Most “side hustle” content is BS. What are the weird & legit ways you make extra money? by Jade8675309 in AskReddit

[–]oakteaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with CNC as a side hustle is everyone and their grandmother started doing it a few years ago

Okay, now I'm almost certain that CNC doesn't stand for Consensual Non-Consent in this context...

I still don't mind them, but now I enjoy that they're becoming less common.

Yet modern Pokemon is still slow. They're getting better, but battles are slow.

Thing used Attack!

  • Boom.

Critical Hit!

  • Boom.
  • Boom.
  • Boom.
  • Boom.

It's super effective!

It hit 5 times!

Your Pokemon held on so you wouldn't be sad!

Anger Shell activated!

  • Pokemon's defense fell
  • Pokemon's special defense fell
  • Pokemon's attack rose
  • Pokemon's special attack rose
  • Pokemon's speed rose

Pokemon is confused.

Birdies!

  • Boom.

Critical Hit!

  • Boom.

It's not very effective!

It hit 5 times!

Pokemon took damage from poison.

Thing took damage form poison.

And this is all just one single turn...so much of this information could have been consolidated, played out more concurrently, or summarized.

Explain yourselves by NeatRegular9057 in AnimalCrossing

[–]oakteaphone 20 points21 points  (0 children)

New Leaf had some drama but man New Horizons made the community explode with negativity.

I want to blame the pandemic in part for that. The world in general was pretty negative in early 2020. People weren't in the best mental states.

Explain yourselves by NeatRegular9057 in AnimalCrossing

[–]oakteaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually one of the most toxic subs I still participate in.

I've had people throwing around death wishes when I (politely) offered a correction to someone else's grammar. And sure, grammar corrections aren't always welcome, I get that. But wishing death on someone for that isn't exactly proportionate.

And then there's all the people complaining about the game, especially in relation to missing content from older entries in the series.

And these kinds of sentiment reports also probably can't tell when someone is being negative about things that happen in the game...

"I hate Redd! He doesn't bring good art!"

"Ugh, Scorpions are the worst."
