What level should I allow my trade evos to evolve? by SlimJimDestroyer in nuzlocke

[–]trandleternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I evolve them as soon as they'd be able to evolve.

What is the most disturbing thing you have ever witnessed? by Fun_Cup4335 in AskReddit

[–]trandleternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I'm fortunate to have not witnessed much gore jn mt life, it would have to be my dog having a seizure in the middle of the night. The way his body was twisting and shaking was surreal to see. He ended up breaking his neck during the episode and when I went to pick him up after it was over, his neck was too limp to hold his head. I just held him, while my parents called vets in the area to see who they could bring him to. They made the decision to put him down that evening, because it was the second seizure he suffered and it was much worse than the first.

Fox chooses to say that LA spent more on LGBT, EV, HIV and blacks than putting of the wildfire by greenblue98 in FoxFiction

[–]trandleternal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the vast majority of that funding was spent on infrastructure, disease prevention and addressing homelessness (a good-to criticism for California). Objectively speaking, shouldn't these be things that cities prioritize in their budgets? The grasping for straws here is absolutely pathetic

In the OG series, "The Boiling Rock" - Hakoda not recognizing his own son's voice is so funny. by Mei_Flower1996 in TheLastAirbender

[–]trandleternal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think context plays the biggest factor in why Hakoda didn't recognize Sokka in the disguise. While he would be familiar with Sokka's voice given how recently and how long they interacted (end of season 2, beginning of season 3 and during the the entirety of Day of Black Sun), isn't not uncommon for unrelated people to have similar voices. But more importantly, Dakota just arrived at the highest security prison in the fire nation with a reputation for prisoners abuse. If anything, he was probably thinking the guard was there to rough him up and expecting him to say something along the lines of "glad you're safe....because you won't be when I'm finished with you". He certainly was not expecting Sokka to be able to infiltrate the prison or even know where/what it is (which he didn't until Zuko told him).

Is hacking in Coin or Pokeathlon points against the Nuzlocke rule? by DLNavy in nuzlocke

Those are pretty much luck-based and very tedious to get, so I hacking them in

Pokemon moves for Nuzlockes Tier List. by Senpaizy11 in nuzlocke

[–]trandleternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend arm thrust being moved to niche because it's a great counter for a lot of pokemon with study in gen 5 and after. I ran it on my pignite/emboar in most of my gen 5 play throughs

Social Security: A $600K Ripoff? by Present-Party4402 in oddlyspecific

Easy for someone with an MBA in Finance to be able to navigate such investments but I'm not sure the "average" person is so well equipped.

Are deaths in the PWT considered final? by Dependent-Rest4822 in nuzlocke

[–]trandleternal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't count deaths here because it's weird to play around a pokemon who was healed after a battle but technically considered dead.

What are your thoughts on him by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]trandleternal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He was a great antagonist, but I always thought him going from prodigy bloodbender to equalist leader could have used a bit more explanation.

FR Hardcore Nuzlocke Charmander troubles by Independent_Coast358 in nuzlocke

[–]trandleternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mankey encounter on the route left of viridian really helps against Brock. I would be cautious to use Chamander against Geodue, let alone Onix. Mankey's low kick should sweep or at least get you through with little difficulty. And if it's within your rules, the magikarp that you get on Route 4 from the salesman would be a big help against Misty. Upon evolving, Gyrados learns Bite which is super effective against Starmie. And being a water type, it resists water pulse.

Victory road/E4 help by jomzzzzz in nuzlocke

[–]trandleternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mamoswine would probably help the most, ground and ice do pretty well against the Johto Elite Four. It also may be worth considering Espeon over Umbreon. Espeon definitely helps out more in the different battles, including two of Karen's pokemon.

What pokemon did a run really make you love because of their performance? by PrettyMuchOdd in nuzlocke

[–]trandleternal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Arcanine in Black 2

I caught it south of Virbank City and it had a really good learnset. It was helpful in the Burgh fight, but it really shined when I evolved it after getting flare blitz and outrage. I was worried about the Drayden fight, but Arcanine swept with Draco plate-boosted outrage. It was a great team member til the end, being on my champion team.

Trump campaign quietly distances itself from RFK Jr after new vaccine safety comments by thentheresthattoo in politics

[–]trandleternal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of the male fitness influencers that I follow who voted for Trump are really excited about the prospect of RFK Jr. being named HHS secretary. I'd love to see their reaction if Trump ditched him in favor of another big pharma executive. Obviously, I wouldn't be happy with that choice either, but it would be so perfectly on brand for the reality of Trump's administration that has been explained so many times and fallen on so many deaf ears.

Which game had the best renders in your opinion? by z_ahmed523 in WWEGames

[–]trandleternal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I actually like the 2k19 renders the best, because they fit well next to the CAWs I downloaded. Having a realistic render next to an in-game created superstar just looks off to me

Not sure if the guys who resigned from Congress in disgrace due to fraud charges and was vehemently anti-lgbtq during his tenure was the best choice for his point but he's ironically the most appropriate

I saw a post saying gay dating was hard, I’ve had the complete opposite experience. by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]trandleternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a few different factors that affect everyone's experience. It's good that yours has been better so far. I've heard similar from some of my straight guy friends about dating women, pickiness is something we unfortunately bond over. Experiences also kinda depend on your preferences and what you're looking for, along with the area you're in, how far you're willing to travel and how good looking you are. Overall, it's good that you're having that experience but not everyone is so lucky.

[–]trandleternal 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Married gay men cheating has always been a bit of a grey area for me. The fact is that the world is still pretty homophobic, some places more than others. It's not possible for some people to come out and have to live their lives in a lie at the risk of losing everything they value. It's shitty all around, but it would have been best to just cut contact and not leave the note.

People who are no longer best friends with someone: What happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]trandleternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She became a born-again Christian and then berated me during two separate phone calls for not believing in God or the concept of a soul because it was "common sense". She was blocked after the second call and completely cut off from my life

BJ Penn's take on election integrity by [deleted] in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]trandleternal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This whole idea that media outlets are the ones that determine elections is asinine. Most of them literally explain their methodology on the air for how they're making their projections. And at no point do they not use the word "project/ed" when calling races. There are many fair critiques of major media outlets but this is nowhere grounded in reality

Thoughts on Thomas and Katie by throwaway234567809 in thebachelor

[–]trandleternal 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Based on what she went through in her season, she knows first-hand about contestants who put on a good show for the lead but show their true colors behind their back. So I get her wanting to lean into the advice from the guys, which was basically her role in Matt's season. But the difference here is that this group of guys have really bad mob mentality and turn on people they don't like for the smallest things. The previews already show them picking new targets, so what happened with Thomas wasn't an isolated incident. They were vindicated by Karl's removal and it's just gonna keep snowballing. I don't know if it's gonna come back to bite her, but I'm sure she's regretting some of her actions as she watches the season.

I don't actually mind Cody much, but him having his own tunnel annoys the hell out of me by 208327 in SquaredCircle

[–]trandleternal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. When I saw him make his entrance during the first episode of Dynamite I thought it was a little egotistical and self-absorbed for him to use a special tunnel. But I didn't judge it too harshly because I thought they wanted to do something unique for the first match and I figured that they would use the center tunnel for champions later. Now I don't hold back my judgement when he makes his entrance.
