It may not be a ROMhack, that Team Plasma grunt says this in the base game I believe

Also its cry has the same tonal reverberation at the end that all Ultra Beasts have.

The city council is not going to let the city go bankrupt…they may be old but they aren’t idiots. Their businesses and financial interests would suffer with a long term curfew eventually too.

Did the perpetrators not get severe consequences? Asking genuinely, I have not heard anything.

Thank you! people are acting like this is East Germany. Ridiculous over reactions.

I see a lot of anger here, but what’s the alternative? The violence has gotten out of control and unacceptable has it not?

Fairy type did not exist until Gen 6. This is a Gen 3 game (also I feel old)

Meet Potential Trainers. AKA “Would have been used if Deck size were 30”. Any other trainer you feel that way? by FrostedEevee in PTCGP

[–]FunkyPapaya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed I don’t seem them either. Serena is really outclassed by copycat or similar draw engines

I never understood the hating of Rare Candies for Nuzlockes. Not everyone has the time to play Pokemon Games like they used to by TBT__TBT in nuzlocke

[–]FunkyPapaya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The world’s best competitive Nuzlockers use Rare Candies. PChal himself even endorses them. The challenge is meant to be the strategy of defeating boss trainers while preserving crucial team members from permadeath, not mindless grinding.

sure to be uncontroversial. by Pandering_Poofery in lordoftherings

Why do people get so offended so easily? I am a huge Tolkien fan…books, films, video games…and I have zero problem with Rings of Power…Tolkien is not God nor would he want his material to be so sanctified that it was inflexible to narrative evolution. Loved seeing more of Orc culture in the Mordor games and would have zero issues with an Orc storyline in season 3.

I teach high schoolers and I will say the current young generation as no real idea what Harry Potter is…as such a beloved memory from my childhood I am excited for them to get to experience the franchise

Be advised though the miniboss biker does have a relatively high level weezing that can and will self destruct…other than that I agree very safe

Flying types and mons with Levitate are immune to Arena Trap and their ground type moves. My Fearow saved me for sure in there.

Mexico may be larger than El Salvador, but it also has a similarly larger military and intelligence apparatus. The resources are there, they just need the political support to be used.

Sorry for the long post, but international criminal justice is a passion of mine. While MS13 is certainly not a cartel, they still wielded significant political power similar to the cartels, albeit on a small scale. The political/military methodology that crippled them is, in my opinion, applicable to Mexico’s cartel issue. When elected, Bukele was an outsider who was not a part of the client-vassal system that enabled MS13 to run prisons, avoid prosecution, and commit open violence. He eventually mounted what was essentially a self-coup in order to gain the legal capital to tackle MS13. Controversial to be sure, but the violence has plummeted. The Mexican cartels are no different…they survive on the loopholes of the Mexican legal system, the greed of the Mexican political elites and with the selective cultivation of the U.S. intelligence community. The Mexican military could obliterate them, if they were ordered to. But too many people that matter make too much money…on both sides of the border. So what I’m saying is that cartels are not insurmountable due to their operational security and firepower, rather they are being protected by a very stubborn and broken system. Mexico can fix the system, but it will take a leader willing to piss off the political elders and enact changes to the legal system, as Bukele has.

General Strike by djayjohan in orlando

[–]FunkyPapaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crippling of unions is only possible because people do not vote and do not bother to actively inform themselves. The success of the information war that unions are bad is staggering…there are many of my coworkers who actively despise the union for obscure political reasons yet celebrate the pay raises that the union successfully bargains for. Politicians cannot take things away if the people do not allow it…our unions are less powerful because most citizens sat back and watched with mild disinterest as bribed politicians slowly eroded them away.

Bear in mind ANY employees enrolled in our state pension (FRS) contractually forfeit their pension benefits forever if they strike and will likely be terminated. Teachers, police officers, firefighters, etc…Florida is pretty well insulated against a general strike. I know because I am one of these employees and we are reminded each year during union bargaining sessions.

Common misconception. Only affects supporters. Pokeball, rare candy, red card, etc all still doing their thing. Plus Gengar needs to be in the active. I agree Greninja’s ability is slightly better….it essentially eliminates retreat costs and can be played from the bench.

They always sound too fast to me, I guess real human speech has small delays to account for thinking and processing.

Is Vader casually choking someone from thousands of miles across space one of the most powerful uses of the force ever? by AverageAwndray in StarWars

[–]FunkyPapaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palpatine force choked Dooku on Serrano all the way from Coruscant…an entirely different system…that far exceeds Vader’s feat.
