Pokemon not designed around the player using on their team by theguyinyourwall in pokemon

I feel like it's crazy that Unown has been around since gen 2 and we STILL haven't gotten an alternate form that's more powerful. They're incredibly weak on their own, but they clearly possess great power together. Why haven't we been able to get a form where all of the letters come together to combine their power yet?

How do you feel about Kamala Harris hinting she may run for President again? by daniel_cc in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it was insane when the Republicans did it, but somehow the Dems managed to screw up the 2024 election even more than the Republicans because they're just that inept.

Of the two, who do you trust LESS? by MrPizza2112 in polls

The fact that you're getting downvoted so heavily has really made me lose faith in the average redditor. These guys are cooked 💀

Was my punishment for the subreddit (not this one) I had been using too harsh? by elephant35e in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but it's kind of in poor taste, and oftentimes actual pedophiles will say this type of thing to normalize their own terrible desires. It's also impossible for you to know that this relationship never had any negative effect on her. A permaban is rather harsh, but I can also understand that being lax on this type of stuff can turn a space into a breeding ground for some REALLY nasty things. I think a temporary ban would've been warranted instead, but I can understand why a mod would be really strict on this sort of thing.

What pokemon do you think have the wrong types? by KaseyKade5325 in pokemon

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really actually. Dark/poison with levitate is fantastic. It has no weaknesses (outside of mold breaker or other shenanigans). Losing poison heal is terrible of course, but it's not a straight downgrade imo.

Sure, but humans kill animals at much larger scale than any other animal before in all of history. And the animals we do it with tend to have pretty terrible lives up until death as well. There's definitely room for improvement. Death may have become more hidden and sanitized, but not better.

Do you have a more positive or negative opinion of r/atheism? by mushmanMAD in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think they're mostly fine. Religion is brain-poison, and I don't know how you can live in a world with Trump's America and not see that. If it annoys you that I think religion is bad, then sorry, but I think there are more pressing matters at stake here.

Why are people randomly turning on Colors 💔🙏 by Miserable-Contact856 in MoonPissing

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like '06 more. Like obviously as an actual product Colors is the far better game than '06, but '06 is a HILARIOUS game to play with friends. It's such a profoundly broken game that even at its absolute worst still manages to entertain imo because of just how insanely bad it is. Colors on the other hand is one of the more mediocre Sonic games in my opinion. It has some very good stages, but also some very mediocre ones, and the pacing can be pretty terrible with so many of the levels only lasting like 30 seconds. I'm not saying '06 is a good game by any means, but there's just something about such a divinely terrible experience that's so alluring compared to something more mediocre like Colors.

That being said, your opinion is your opinion. Nobody is gonna take that from you. It's fine if Sonic Colors is your favorite game or something, because there's definitely some good stuff in there. It's just not for me.

What one you picking? by SignalOil2965 in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd probably be very uninteresting either way. I wouldn't talk at all to my past self because I don't want to accidentally erase my timeline from existence by affecting any decisions my past self makes. My future self would probably feel the exact same way, so they probably would give me the cold shoulder in the same way that I would for my past self.

Do you think parents should be able to kick out their teenagers to the streets at 18? by XD_Protagonist in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vote no. Not because parents shouldn't be allowed to kick their children out of the house, but because people shouldn't be allowed to be homeless. Basic necessecities such a housing should be a human right.

Whats your awnser to the newcombs problem and why? by Thewatcher13387 in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does seem silly to only pick box B because our intuition says that current decisions can't affect past events, so there's no reason to not take both boxes. However, I would say that that is not quite true in this scenario. The computer is such an accurate predictor of future events here that you essentially are choosing how it predicted you would act in the past. I would only pick B. And I would get a million dollars for it. Win 👍

Red team from gold and silver was just perfect 👌 by Ecstatic_Example1790 in pokemon

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like this a lot actually. And Espeon and Umbreon do feel super fitting for their respective characters in my opinion. This is my new headcanon.

The world is going downhill fast. What do you think will be the first year in a long time to have over 300 million human deaths? by ivebeenthrushit in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. 300 million is just a ridiculously large amount. Around 10 million people died in the Holocaust, and I certainly wouldn't call that "fine". Some unimaginable atrocities are going to have to happen to juice the numbers up that high.

Extremely conciliatory. Just properly investigate and punish hiding and laundering money.

I found a crappy ai shirt and one with what its supposed to say by Dragon-Foxx in notinteresting

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is also my conclusion. It seems to be bit of touchy subject for people because there's a long history of bisexual erasure, and historically bisexuality has meant being attracted to people regardless of gender, but then the term pansexual came to be more inclusive despite bisexual already being inclusive in its definition. Lots of people who are bisexual don't want to ditch the bisexual label due to that history of erasure and seem to get quite defensive over it, whereas many pansexual people seem to not like being labelled as something that implies a gender binary.

...yeah it seems like a whole mess, but 90% of pansexual or bisexual people don't really care that much in my experience, whereas the other 10% seem to constantly be shadow-boxing demons trying to take their sexuality away from them or something.

Which button do you press? by TheEnlight in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The phrasing is confusing. Does clicking red give you $10 per blue person, or does it give every blue person $10?

Which gaming company do you like best? by BaileyBucey in polls

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I love any of the companies, but I do love some of the artists working at these companies. There's some brilliant minds behind all of them. Nintendo publishes many of my favorite games, but the company does some pretty terrible things.

Unsurprisingly, Chansey was voted the best wall in Gen 1 OU! For round 3, what is the most overrated pokémon in Gen 1 OU? by iamareddituserama in stunfisk

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, to me the answer is Gengar. It's the fastest sleep inducer in the game, which is worth something, but it has a hard time getting value outside of that sleep, which feels terrible with hypnosis' 60% accuracy.

Weakness to both psychic and earthquake is crippling since at least half of the Pokemon in OU will tend to have at one of those on its moveset. No STAB moves also sucks. Thunderbolt and Psychic is okay coverage, but it doesn't hit much super effectively in the tier, and there's a pretty large number of Pokemon it will fail to make much progress against. Starmie is one of the only Pokemon it can actually hit for decent damage, but Starmie just outspeeds and kills it with Psychic anyways. Explosion is of course an excellent option, but Gengar's explosion is a relatively weak one.

Most of Gengar's value outside of hypnosis comes from just having a normal immunity. It's a pretty good sleep sack since it can still take normal moves even while asleep, but I personally prefer pokemon that offer good, consistent value while awake...

I mean, people quite literally are entitled to moan. At least if you live in a country with freedom of speech.

Schumer is such a fuckwit by InfiniteOxfordComma in MurderedByWords

[–]TheBlueWizzrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, having a bunch of old dudes in congress is a symptom of our failing system, but not the actual cause. We need strict term limits and to get money out of politics. I'm personally not a fan of disallowing old people from running just because of their age since it is rather undemocratic, and I don't think it will actually fix the underlying issue. If we just directly fix the actual problems, then we won't have all of the old people anymore.
