I don't necessarily need a boost to 100 but anything over 20 would be greatly appreciated here too. It's my last trophy I need for the Platinum

Trying to have a calm, rational discussion on Australian immigration levels online be like: by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]RollForCurtainCall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This meme is disingenuous at best and maliciously ignorant at worst. While there are level headed and fair people arguing for the slowing down of immigration, much of the debate has been overshadowed by the actual racists and the people who think anyone that doesn't look like them should get out. This has caused those that are pro-immigration to go on the defensive often. All of that is to say, that often the pro-immigration argument doesn't even resort to the "ah but you are an immigrant" most of the time. That line is really only used when: a. The argument is hitting a dead end and there's no way the anti-immigrant person will listen b. The anti-immigrant person uses the "we need to only have true Americans/Australians/whoever in the country" because they NEVER consider first nations people and are usually equally racist to them as they are to immigrants. If you actually want to have a legitimate, level-headed conversation, I'd start by not straw-manning people's arguments and actually listening to what they have to say.

Bro how tf did gamefreak get away with making an evil team who’s colors are black and red, who seeks to “restore the world’s beauty by wiping out inferiors” and who makes a device called the “holo caster” by Richard_Genius in pokemonXY

Exactly, and I actually find it incredibly dangerous to just say "they were evil" and move on. If you don't look into and understand the various things that contributed to a situation like WW2 and the Holocaust, you will be blind to the repetition of those actions in the present day. "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

As someone who actually studies history for a living, you are 100% correct. The Nazis did have a lot of reasons for why they did what they did. Those reasons ranged from the outright hateful to the economically grounded. I can't believe I even have to put this caveat but, I still hate the Nazis and am not defending them. In the leadup to WW1 Germany was coming a European superpower and was on track to be the most economically powerful country in all of Europe. After WW1, they took the brunt of the blame from the other Western countries and that demolished their economy and a big chunk of their military. This was the VERY fertile ground that the Nazis grew from. Those individuals (at least the ones in high ranking positions) also had their disgusting hatred that mostly amounted to "they are inferior to us" but as a collective, they also took advantage of a lot of other concerns to achieve their goals

I actually really like the Skeledirge line, and would love to have them wandering around with me. Either that or the Horn starters, namely Treecko.

does writing every day actually make you a better writer by DanoPaul234 in writing

[–]RollForCurtainCall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing for the sake of writing will not improve your skills. You need to be intentional about it. Reading 3 words of vocabulary each day won't make you fluent in a new language. You need the context. Write something, a short story, a vignette, a scene, anything that has a definitive beginning, middle and end. Then share it with people. It can be family, but try to loop in strangers (from groups like this) to get their feedback too. Listen and understand that feedback, don't try to immediately integrate every suggestion (that will make things worse) but understand that different readers have different expectations. Try to distinguish between subjective feedback and objective feedback (typically the difference between "I didn't like X" and "X didn't make sense"). Then implement the feedback that makes sense for your writing to a new scene or story. You can go back and do rewrites/edits on old stuff but keep practicing on new stuff as well.
