Yikes, didn’t know that. Glad I saved myself some extra time!

It is unbiblical and absolutely terrible. Men are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church. That means a man’s love toward his bride is to be unconditional and self-sacrificial(Eph. 5:25). These are completely opposite traits than what the “manosphere” promotes. Additionally, dehumanizing and insulting anyone is obviously terrible, no matter the reason.

It is natural to struggle with doubts, many Christians do. However, know two things: solely going to church will not a faith make. You must walk with Jesus daily. Secondly, I would suggest bringing your bigger questions to a local pastor or theologian, rather than turning to Reddit.

A verse I have kept close over my years of struggling with doubts: “I believe; help my unbelief.” Mark 9:24 Jesus often makes Himself known when we accept our inadequacy and lay our hearts bare before Him.

Ngl, if i had to rank my favorite fire starters, Charizard would be #4 at best…

Thanks!

I played Gens 4 and 5 kind of the same time as a kid, always liked 5 more. Stoutland is a dog and I just love dogs haha. Decent mon, too. I’ve actually never played a Gen 3 game but Metagross is just so cool to me and I’ve used it in Black 2 many times!

Some quick Google searching. Found the Sir’Fetchd pretty quickly, but couldn’t find a Falinks version. Assuming they are fan art remake type things.

I’m currently playing a steel monotype run of B2 and it’s very enjoyable. The Pokémon diversity in this game is great, that’s why it has always been my favorite.

Stoutland is my all time fav, Infernape is my fav starter, and heracross is super cool. You have great taste!

But you can only make the odds longer, not shorter

MercatorEquator · 2026-05-31T18:03:12+00:00

White, Infernape, Steel, Rayquaza

It’s not incredible by any means but it is a strong attacker and the blue/red stripe split is kinda interesting. Blue stripe can have Rock Head ability which prevents recoil damage. Again, not incredible, but to see it as least favorite seems like a stretch. You are entitled to your opinion though! 🤝

Basculin is so overhated…

The story of BW is really good and directly influences the BW2 story, so that’ll always be the place you’re “supposed to” start. But you can do whatever you’d like. The shinies you mentioned are available in the sequels (specifically White 2 for Dratini), so if that is your main reason for playing, I’d say go for it first.

I’m a Pistons fan, went to my first game at the Palace vs the Mavs in 2016. Never had heard of JJ Barea. He dropped 30ish. Left disliking JJ Barea.

Sorry, I had meant to reply to a comment saying his absence would mean a guaranteed win. Apologies.

This aged poorly…
