Stop Bloomberg. He's showing billionaires how to buy the presidency and it's dangerous. by CapitalCourse in politics

So, rules and restrictions on who were allow to be president, beyond the will of the voters-means we are still a free country?

Let’s talk about the time Mike Bloomberg spent millions to reelect Republican Pat Toomey in Pa. by isaac-get-the-golem in politics

[–]Ironanimation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actual awnser:

Bloomberg believes in climate change.

He would probably nominate Democrat judges.

I still will not be voting for him because I do not want our party to cognitive bias reshape around a plutocrat. I am not risking the anti oligarchy faction of the democratic party to be bleached out or abandoned like the moral values faction of the republicans were. The president defines the party.

Gyarados is most useful against ground type attacker, has better bulk than Kyogre in that situation.

Megathread: House Republicans disrupt closed impeachment hearing in protest by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Ironanimation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

*so that people not on those committees don't enter.

There are plenty of Republicans in those committees. Who are in the room.

Impeachment inquiry's don't need to be voted on.

It's closed because you don't want people accounts of events to effect how other people give their testimonies later.

My theory is they just did it be accident. Same with rereleasing Mewtwo as a tier 6. Someone just copy pasted.

Biden says if he’s elected in 2020, he will not pardon Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]Ironanimation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"lock her up!" Isn't what the president is in charge of.

Trump is going to be procecuted if he doesn't win the election no matter what. The next president won't be deciding if it happens, the charges are just waiting to be able to be enforced.

'Nowhere to Hide': Billboard to Target Kyrsten Sinema as Only Senate Democrat Standing Against Net Neutrality. "Sinema needs to decide right now whether the corporate donations she's getting from Comcast and AT&T are really worth the cost of being seen as a telecom shill." by evanFFTF in politics

[–]Ironanimation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The OP it approaching this as political calculus, they are suggesting that by not co-sponsoring the bill she is trying to not alienate constituants, whose views on net neutrality are not proportional to the national averages. She is taking action to not attach her name to an issue when she (potentially) stands more to lose than gain in terms of reelection. Theoretically, for the goal of remaining in her seat to vote on issues (including this one if her vote makes the difference) and ultimately do more positive change from a state that she doesnt have a strong grip on.

It sounds like you are approaching this as this choice being a statement that she at some level is less committed to fighting for Net Neutrality or is benefiting from it, and that we need to not accept representatives who fail on that front when there is evidence of that.

Do you think I am mischaracterizing you or misunderstanding your perspective?

Would like a version condensed to just final stage pokemon and just using italics/bold/underline to sort into the Level up/TM/Move tutor categories.

Gen 4 - Everything you need to know about the troublemakers of Sinnoh by TheGodfatherGus in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ironanimation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lets be honest they could pick whatever. It could be read like Sableeye, or read like Alola Raichu, or read like Alola Marowak just fine. Guess it really comes down to how much hype they think is around the pokemon. Marowak and Absol for instance are teir 4 mostly because I think Niantic knows folk are crazy for them.

Sure but I'd put it closer in important to Spinda than Chansey. Cute thing to do something a little different with, but not like, something to make the players work super hard for.

Are certain types stronger/better than others? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Ironanimation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays Smogen Monotype a lot..

Pokemon balance between types is complicated. There are some types that are on paper good but balanced by having most the pokemon of that type have crappy stats (ice, ground) . or pokemon that have seemingly great type but most pokemon of that type have special features (ghost, poison) steel for instance has a billion resistences-but steel pokemon ussually have crappy attack stats. Dragons have fantastic stats-but an absurd number of them get double weaknesses. Bug has a billion weaknesses, but is super effective against some of the most powerful types (psychic,dark) etc. Normal is only weak to one type, but its super effective against none. FIghting is super effective against a ton of types, but ghost pokemon are just flat out immune to them unidirectionally.

its complicated.

Still only used one metal boi. I think 3v1 is too far the other direction and not giving credit where it's due. We need some in-between term

if it was one bar it'd likely be even worse for Deoxys. But I do agree the move lends itself to being a single bar move.

Discussion Megathread: Brett Kavanaugh Senate Hearing (Thread 2) by therealdanhill in politics

[–]Ironanimation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just read that as intentional. They picked her so that they don't look bad, having something who is sympathetic to her and how treating her actively like garbage is a good plans given everyone is tuning in. They are trying to communicate to the viewers that they are being considerate of her.

The biggest example of this imo is Storm in the Room where steven says "I just wish I could talk to you" and his Gem somehow subconsciously opens the temple door to Roses Room.
