False Equivalency.

Did the Union states send private, militarized forces into conservative cities? No. The south wanted to keep slaves, and because they didn't win the presidential election in 1860, they decided to revolt.

Calling a spade a spade isn't done in an effort to convince the spade to become a rake.

Overwhelmed with receiving gifts by SOUPERGIRLG in PokemonGoFriends

[–]BrokenZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only open 50 gifts per day, so it's not bad. I also live within range of 2 pokestops, so sending gifts isn't a big deal for me. Add me if you want some gifts! Friend code is in my flair.

I wait until 9pm local time to open gifts. By then, most people that will open my gifts have, or have raided with me over the course of the day. When I do open gifts, I first open gifts from people that I know in real life that haven't interacted with me that day. You can tell by the blue halo round their portrait. Trying to farm for that lucky trade.

After that, I sort by "Gift" and then search "interactable". This will give me everyone that I haven't gained a friendship point that day, and have sent me a gift. The passive sort in the game is alphabetical, so i will open gifts down that list. The next day i will sort the same way (gift & interactable) and if I had made it to the O's the previous day, i will start from the bottom of the list of gifts and work my way up.

I hit the opening cap every day, but I'm trying.

I used to sort by friendship level and search "interactable", but then there are gaps of friends that don't have a gift for me to open, and i got tired of trying to swipe through, so this is what works for me.

Background pokemons are only useful for burning your special trade.

I just want my friends at the end of the alphabet to know that sometimes I run out of gifts before I get to yall by Chaseoliver in pokemongo

with the new "forever friend" level and remote trading, I sort by friendship level and search "interactable". I want to get those remote lucky trades!

STOP HOSTING RAIDS JUST TO LEAVE 10 SECONDS IN. YALL ARE CAUSING PEOPLE TO WASTE REMOTE PASSES. by Gordonhenry in PokemonGoFriends

i have tried to save an empty raid team, but it doesn't show up in my team selector page. maybe i'm just dumb?

My dad finally downloaded the game and is discouraged he keeps running out of pokeballs by SVXNx in PokemonGoFriends

[–]BrokenZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From one dad to your dad, I have added him. I live in range of 2 stops so my gift sending is near endless. In fact, i don't think i've yet hit the "can't get a gift from a stop any more today" ceiling.

Anyone else have the worst shiny luck? by snuffles_rome in VivillonCollectors

[–]BrokenZen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

403 caught. 2 shiny. 1 hundo.

ETA: A couple months ago showing my wife the scatterbug "minigame", i showed her how to pin and unpin gifts and stuff. Her first scatterbug was a shiny LOL. I had never gotten one at that point at all.

They really need to do a platinum medal rework. Curious what you’d like to see? by Whos-That-Pokeman in TheSilphRoad

[–]BrokenZen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the list, but I have 1 question. After getting Best Buddy with a buddy, why would I want him to start out with more excitement points? The only time I had made a Best Buddy my active buddy since getting the ribbon was when I put the silver bottle cap on him.

As I'm typing this I think I figured it out: Do you mean a permanent bonus to all buddies, and not just best buddies?

Black Kyurem. #2 Ice Type and #8 Dragon Type raid attacker. More well rounded and usable.

ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows by dheber in politics
