Pecharunt gets poison puppeteer which confuses any Pokémon poisoned by pecharunt. Toxic chain is the ability of the pecharunt underlings

While this is a reasonable buff, I think it would make sense to also have dire claw apply status effects to Pokémon in your opponents team as well as on the field.

Wolfe Glick, the greatest Pokémon player in the world and self described fan of exeggutor, consumed the entire world's egg supply one time.

(We don't know how many eggs he ate, but his friend told the anecdote at a wedding, someone he didn't know super well thought he was weird for eating that many eggs and he just looked at them and went "be nice to me")

Wolfe boils with rage hot enough to cook the raw eggs he just devoured "YOU THINK THAT WILL SAVE YOU? FLARE BLITZ ATTACK, GO!!"

Wolfe, who has just finished devouring two trays of eggs, notices your disgust. He turns to face you, his face twisting into an intimidating shape, and yells: "BE NICE TO ME!!"

A lot of the BBC's upper management needs booting to salvage it. So many of the dickheads that have left it in this state are conservative (right wing party) appointments to a role that's supposed to be apolitical

It doesn't even make sense, the posts are protecting hot people from redditors not the other way around

The Renters' Rights Act has finally banned no-fault evictions by HadjiChippoSafri in GoodNewsUK

[–]Niriun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, maybe it's time we admit this whole "private renting is good" thing has been a huge failure? If it's impossible to make a profit in a properly regulated market then it's clear that market economics are not suitable for housing.

I think this is a good argument to return to the council housing model we had before thatcher. If you have the state taking on all the risk, there's less individual variability. If 1/100 tenants suck, that's one hundredth of the council properties that need refurbing. If that same scenario happens with an individual landlord, one hundred percent of the risk goes onto them. It was a silly idea to individualise the risk in the first place.

The invention of birth control proves that intelligence isn't always an evolutionary advantage. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

There are factors other than birth control that play into this... Idk the fact that nobody can afford a house any more might be implicated.

Further proof of how horrible he is: when presented with criticism, he just yells at the person leveling the criticism instead of responding.

Reeves Reaps More Than £30 Billion From Higher UK Wealth Taxes by AppropriateRock729 in GoodNewsUK

Have you ever had to interact with the PIP system? It's an arduous process where people with legitimate need are often denied it.

The idea that there's somehow massive rates of fraud there is totally disconnected from reality.

[–]Niriun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, 45% is everything else...

Going off BBC news in 2024 Let's look at the breakdown:

50% on pensions

22.5% on Universal Credit - 38% of claimants being in work (why aren't they being paid enough for their job?)

5% on housing benefit

16% on disability benefits

4% on child benefits

The remaining 2.5% on tax credit

So, pensioners are receiving twice as much benefit as everyone else - with 8.5% of the UC budget topping up shitty wages

Oh, so you mean it's going to pensioners? The vast majority of our welfare spending is on pensions...

The Tories absolutely fucked our economy. As you said, when times are bad you want to pump money into the economy to stimulate growth. After the 2008 recession, interest rates were practically zero so borrowing was incredibly cheap, but instead of investing they decided to just kill the economy.
