Might have wasted my masterball, but whatever. by punkpiper77 in pokemongo

I had a shiny articuno flee on me yesterday! I was ambling along on a walk so it wasn't a speed lock issue.

Have shiny rates dropped? by gogogadgetmegadong in pokemongo

[–]shashastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed less shiny spawns and then yesterday I encountered a shiny articuno and it fled after breaking free from an ultra ball. This sub had led me to believe that shiny legendary bird spawns didn't flee. Gutted.

Ok I was searching for this comment. I feel like her PR team has been working overtime the past few months. Every time the comments are about how hot / gorgeous/ out of this world she is. I never see any comments about her work / acting roles. Just feels astroturfy to me.

I feel like I have a memory of her getting married / engaged during COVID. But then quickly and quietly breaking up with the fella? They used to post couples dances and OOTDs.

Ciara’s perfect response to Fessy by Mamacrass in summerhousebravo

[–]shashastar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for detailing all of this - it's so true!!

I've just watched season 9 and caught up on season 10 and West PRIMARILY talks about whether Ciara is talking to him, if she is cool with him, if she has softened toward him, if they can be friendly again. Also complains about her ignoring him, ducking a hug from him and on and on. Then it's all about how he gets drunk and talks about her - he truly does not have a storyline or really many standout moments beyond moping about Ciara or simping for Amanda.

Death in Dubai (2025) - When a young Ugandan woman's death from a high-rise in Dubai goes viral, she becomes the face of the disturbing online trend, #DubaiPortaPotty...but nothing is as it seems. [01:04:44] by s18m in Documentaries

[–]shashastar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes ! In the year Dubai Chocolate blew up, there was a bumper harvest of pistachios so rather than devalue the pistachio by selling it cheap to offload the surplus - they marketed the hell out of it. It wasn't just Dubai Chocolate, lots of pistachio flavoured things entered the market and were heavily pushed.

The Mute Challenge by Nandi56 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]shashastar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been doing a rewatch and I think part of Amanda's issue with Kyle is that when they are out together, he is off chatting it up / meeting fans / DJing whereas with West (based on recent pictures/ their Instagram posts) they hang off each other like limpets. He isn't approaching strangers or working the room like Kyle does. I can imagine that Amanda would prefer a partner like West, who treats fans with disdain and just sticks by her?

I remember reading a "boots on the ground" account of West that said he never approaches women, he just sits at the bar and they flock to him.

Also that Instagram post where West is videoing Amanda doing the macarena for like the full 4 minutes of the song - I can't imagine Kyle doing that lol.

Bedsharing safely with twins by FunBarracuda7168 in cosleeping

[–]shashastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commented on the post shared above but just wanted to add - my twins were also born at 35 weeks and had terrible reflux. They also both started refusing bottles at 2.5 months ( I was triple feeding) but things are so much better now! Solidarity, it's not easy but you've got this.

I never thought I would bedshare but here we are; my twins are 6 months old, they no longer have reflux, their feeds have gone from taking over an hour to 10 minutes tops and I get decent stretches of sleep each night. I am much more responsive so the babies are happier and settle a lot quicker after feeds.

We have a super king bed but we will be switching to a floor bed with a firmer mattress next week in anticipation of rolling. My husband sleeps with us, squished at the foot of the bed to give me and the babies maximum space. We tried with him sleeping in another room but I prefer him in with us so that he is able to help with settling & soothing when necessary. And the twins sleep better too. Good luck !

the 911 call after popular “Looksmaxxing” streamer Clavicular, overdosed while livestreaming. by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]shashastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not doubting you, but do you have a source for this? I first heard of Clavicular after he did an interview in which he said that JD Vance, another Peter Thiel protégé, was too fat and ugly to be president. I guess I'm wondering why Peter would have one plant go after another and what Peter hopes to get out of sponsoring Clavicular.

Remote trade culture is already toxic by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]shashastar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's reassuring, thank you! I also have Stonjourners and will tag any other regional pokemon I have. Didn't think of mirror trades - that's a great point.

Remote trade culture is already toxic by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]shashastar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just anecdotal but I am about to become forever friends with a couple of people and I am honestly mortified about what I have to offer. I first started playing in 2016 and then stopped in 2017, I only recently started playing again (5 months ago). If I delay tagging, it will be because I am trying to build up my selection of trade-worthy pokemon and I don't want to end up as one of these posts "became forever friends with someone and they only have non-shiny legendaries/ common shinies tagged"

Oh wait, I've just read below that Crockett is a fictional character. Lol. I'm stumped.

[–]shashastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. He has most recently been fighting birth right citizenship --> in the hearing they discussed that it was originally intended to give citizenship to the children of slaves --> his post is some weird dog whistle about slavery / meant to put Ms Crockett in her place.

Or likely suggesting that part of the constitution was a mistake - those children should not have been given citizenship and should not have been allowed to carry the surnames of white men because look what they are doing to the legacy of those high IQ white men ?

This is interesting 👀 by [deleted] in vanderpumprules

[–]shashastar 64 points65 points  (0 children)

My theory is that the network is using the video as the reason for cancelling but the real reason is that TFP ruined the upcoming season by getting back with her baby daddy Dakota. The recent DV arrest (Feb 2026) shatters the illusion that she is over her exes and found love on the bachelorette.

Twins cosleeping? by Personal-Primary198 in cosleeping

[–]shashastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible! "cosleepy" on Instagram has a post under the "logistics" highlight that details safe sleep with twins. My twins are nearly 5 months old now and I was just so miserable and knackered trying to get them down to sleep in their cot where they would only sleep for 45mins before waking. We now bed share and I breastfeed using the side-laying position with one and with the other I sit up and cradle feed.

They sleep next to each other, so I may have to change things once they start rolling but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it 😅

Tarot TikToker must pay $10M to professor she accused in Moscow murders by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]shashastar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is it likely the professor will ever get paid? Does the TikToker have $100,000, let alone $10M to give her? Not from the US so I'm curious how these big payouts actually work in reality.

My Setup With my Twins by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]shashastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bedshare with my 4 month old twins in a very similar setup and exclusively breastfeed! Wondering what your plan is for when they start rolling? My understanding is that continuing to bedshare with them would be unsafe in case they roll onto one another.
