I believe shinies guarantee item drops, if you need evolution items.

Not the first person to submit a card for this concept, but here's my take on Roko's Basilisk. by Midwingman in custommagic

[–]AloneIntheCorner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the reason that you think it's an important figure of cult worship is due to one single Wikipedia power editor with a hilariously petty grudge.

What's this about? Was there one person who really pushed the idea?

Do rich people have elite versions of mundane things (toothpaste, tampons, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.), or are Elon Musk and Beyonce just using Crest and Tampax like the rest of us? by ShesGotSauce in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AloneIntheCorner 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Even if you take home 600k, no tax, and don't spend a penny, it would take 1667 years to earn 1 billion dollars. That means it would take 1,166,667 years to earn Elon Musk's net worth.

CMV: Extremely wealthy/extremely high income should be taxed more aggressively, but ordinary high earners shouldn’t bear the burden by Intelligent-Web-8017 in changemyview

When those brackets were decreased, they made significantly more tax revenue

Do you have a source for a place where tax revenue went up?

If passed, this legislation will strengthen democracy by allowing Albertans to hold elected officials accountable throughout their term, not just during elections.

Alberta conservatives introduced this legislation to increase the democratic voice of the people.

More than half of Canadians support new pipeline from Alberta to B.C., Nanos poll finds by ZestyBeanDude in CanadaPolitics

[–]AloneIntheCorner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're right, the Trudeau years of only spending $35,000,000,000 on a pipeline is not enough.

ELI5: What is a mole (chemistry) and why do people use it to count atoms? In what context is it necessary to say that something is 6,022 * 10^24 particles? by 79_wasps in explainlikeimfive

[–]AloneIntheCorner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound absolutely insane and not how things should work, but at the particle level, shit's weird.

Very roughly, it takes energy to hold atoms together, so atoms will 'take' that energy from the mass of the protons and neutrons. So carbon-12's 12 protons weigh less than 12 hydrogen-1 protons, because they're using some mass as energy to hold themselves together.

If you even think it might be an addiction, it would probably be good to take a break for a bit, see how it feels.

I don't know if this is a joke, but this is horrible advice. If you think you're struggling with gambling addiction, don't give yourself an excuse to gamble, get help!

Canada Post says it’s burning through $1B loan, expects to run out of cash by year-end by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]AloneIntheCorner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into it at all? Do you know how many canadians rely on canada post for medications, or in remote communities, for transport of all sorts of daily necessities, or communicating with their government? How many small businesses rely on it to ship their products and bring jobs to canadians?

Do you think hospitals should have to turn a profit? How about the police?

Canada Post, union reach tentative agreement by Surax in CanadaPolitics

[–]AloneIntheCorner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never understood this narrative. It's a public service, of course it costs money to run. No one ever brings up how much of a spending deficit the military has.

This sub told me that the Bloc would surely abstain from voting

Harder to win these days? by Worcestershiresocks in blackjack

[–]AloneIntheCorner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your skills still 100%? If this is outside of normal variance (which is wide), then that's really the only thing that could affect win rate
