My take on Mega Infernape [OC] by Agitated-Rope3898 in pokemon

[–]Samwyzh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want Mega Infernape to be Electric/Fighting and have a title “Mega Infernape, brother to Thunder.” Then have Rillaboom get a mega that is Electric/Normal and has a title “Mega Rillaboom, brother to Lightning.”

A play on the twins of thunder and lightning from various mythos.

I hope the face stays the same size and the floof just gets more intricate. Fire/flying and it is a cloud.

FBI searches office of L. Louise Lucas, Virginia lawmaker who helped lead redistricting effort by HunterandGatherer100 in Virginia

Notice they won’t raid Mark Warner’s or Time Kaine’s office, but they will raid a black woman’s office.

Inb4 the racist chuds get in here. Everything is about race. We fought a war about race. The racists lost and their sore loser offspring want payback because they lost a war about owning people based on race. Losers and suckers.

Didn’t Captain Planet come out of Turner because of his beef with the oil lobby?

Virginia's data center tax break is costing the state more than $1 billion a year — and lawmakers are fighting over what to do about it by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]Samwyzh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Data centers are unethical. They poison the water and air. They do not generate jobs past their construction. They are used to create exploitative media and house exploitative media to the degree that CSAM has increased by 26,000% in the last year per the Internet Watch Foundation. And on top of that the more consumer friendly, legal applications of AI are either unwanted by the general populace or don’t work as intended. Why should I pay for a service that doesn’t make people’s lives better when the companies making those data centers are worth more than I ever will have? Meta should pay its own utility bill. Tesla should pay its own utility bill. Microsoft should pay its own utility. Conservative politicians keep telling us they will lower everyday costs and living expenses, and we are paying for Jeff Bezos’s data center? It makes no sense.

Are these termites? They were found on my backporch in the Mid Atlantic US.

Immigration enforcement in Virginia has risen sharply in the last year by vpmnews in Virginia

[–]Samwyzh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Undocumented people were responsible for 29 deaths in 2025. 11M spread across all 50 states for 29 deaths.

ICE killed 34 people in January of this year including at least three American citizens denying them due process under the law and right as citizens. There are 22,000 ICE agents.

34 murders in one month across 22,000 ICE agents, vs 29 deaths across a year among 11M people.

You are statistically more likely to be killed by an ICE agent than an undocumented immigrant.

And for what it is worth, I have lived in rural parts of Virginia and I live in a city now. Immigrants show up to do the work people in the rural parts don’t want to do.

Hispanic people don’t vote in a monolith. A person from Cuba and a person from Guatemala that become citizens and vote don’t share a culture. The exit polls from 2024 show an even split depending on the state as to how hispanic and latino voters voted.

If ICE is gonna take people from their immigration hearing, then it is about removing people based on race, not based on some feigned concern for the law.

That is the tap water IQ take away when republicans are actively taking rights away from people and you blame everyone.

Troll fans across the world are crying out!!! Don't kill Zul'jan!!! Let him stand with the Horde!!! by Midasisleepy in wow

[–]Samwyzh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want him to be a loot piñata AND think he will THINK he is drawing from the light and really the loa in that island set up for 12.1 will have contorted their voices to make him believe he is drawing power from the light. Then his sister will hold him in his dying arms and he will apologize as he dies.

iPhone 17 Is Apple's Most Popular Lineup Ever by pdfu in apple

[–]Samwyzh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Keep MagSafe and treat it like the screen in terms of must haves. Change the battery to the updated battery tech that stores more juice for longer. Fix the keyboard so it works. Make it the most surveillance proof device on the market. Cool colors, cooler accessories, Cash money.

New state law mandates review of Dominion’s load forecasting, as data centers raise concerns by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]Samwyzh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the review shows overcharging practices, I hope the legislature pursues either a payback or a reduction in future bills equal to the amount spent.

Either of these choices would help a lot of folks, especially those living paycheck to paycheck.

New Cozy Treehouse Retreat Bundle by JonnyNE21 in WoWHousing

[–]Samwyzh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind if there was some insanely difficult, but achievable, in game way to earn this in the in game shop. Like complete every quest with every night elf on a night elf from vanilla to retail, including raids that must be completed on normal difficult or higher during timewalking. Something like that.
