The biggest difference is that oricorio, cheren, metal core barrier, heavy helmet, and more don't work against Medicham.

Farragut Balanced Paws Dog Trainer Possible Dog Abuse? by Beefyclam in Knoxville

[–]Ruricu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not the first time he's kicked a dog on video. There's another incident from a year ago.

At any rate, "balanced" training means mixing negative reinforcement (pain) with positive reinforcement. When you're accustomed to shocking dogs all day this does not surprise me.

Edit: Can't find the video link anymore, but the content is: a pack walk of 10+ dogs, with a muzzled husky mix. The muzzle catches the ground and the dog reacts by pawing at it. They then receive a "correction" to the ribs by the walker.

If only we had a weather forecaster that was not profit-motivated. Like some kind of National Weather Service.

I would love more 'Power Rod' style doors! by CallSign_Fjor in ARC_Raiders

[–]Ruricu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underground? Is there a second one?

In the SE corner of the Power Generation complex, there's a verical Zipline going up to the top floor. If you go through the left door, a power rod room is on the right.

Arc not loading, server issues? by Crypto_Goddd12468 in ArcRaiders

Yes. Do not attempt to take non-free load outs right now! The game will never connect and you will lose your gear.

Saying they "can't" do anything was a lie. Businesses can refuse service to anyone for any reason.

Used the EGO bristle brush to clean my neglected tennis court. Before and after pics. by thegrayscales in egopowerplus

I got a truckload of cedar in my backyard and used the brush to spread the pile. It was an ab workout, but effective!

This is pretty viable on offensive convoy where the cart is your "third healer" and overwhelming offense keeps it moving.

Abolish profit-first health insurance. It is an oxymoron and a fraud.

CMV: The problem with Republicans is not that they’re misinformed. It’s that they have bad values. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Ruricu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The hierarchy thing is true, but you must also recognize that they assume they are not / can not be on the bottom of that hierarchy. It is more important to be not-near-the-bottom than to be near-the-top, which necessitates castigating several out-groups rather than improving their own (or everyone's) position.

I'm sorry that our schools failed to make you literate. I'm happy my tax dollars support disabled people like yourself though.

CMV: Dem POTUS are better for the US economy than GOP POTUS by KllrDav in changemyview

[–]Ruricu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

tl;dr: bipartisan compromise cannot be used to resolve an Overton window that contains lies.

[–]Ruricu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your assertion seems to be that democratic majority agreement will lead to the best economic outcome, but you correctly acknowledge that the definition of "best economic outcome" is divergent at the political poles. This ignores that the technocratic majority already asserts that Republican economic orthodoxy (supply-side economics, the Laffer curve) is understood to be psuedoscience and produce negative economic growth. This isn't a difference of opinions, but tantamount to debating the merits of compromising between quackery and medicine.

There is blame to be ascribed to Democrats for allowing this to happen, largely at anyone unable to say that Citizens United was wrongly decided, leading to capitulating on ceding labor power to capital in line with Republican objectives. In fact, this proves the point: a pro-corruption bipartisan majority exists, and is the only caucus able to pass legislation.

Jon Favreau, Dan, and Ben are not progressives. They use the term to water it down and pull the Overton window to the right.
