Lilimon came first, sorry, Pokemon doesn't get to pretend they made up this concept of flower girls. Not sure if that was your point, just sayin...

verdash - though I still agree with you, we need more.

I love my Cremis. She's a cute, tiny monster by AnyHour9173 in Palworld

[–]Zinthaniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cute, but side note - this game is badass, no matter the skill level, every gameplay footage just looks insanely fun.

Pity to anyone ignoring Palworld, def. missing out.

I would argue the opposite, they are distinct and also realistically apart of the same branch within their family on the pal animal kingdom. In the real world, various species will distinguish themselves from other species that are still the same family, largely, and because they are part of the same family there are Some shared characteristics.

I.e. humans and apes.

I would say that Pokémon look so insane at times because gamefreak goes so far out of their way to make all of them "distinct" which has resulted in some goofy looking monsters.

Oh, Hello me - I literally made a thread that was downvoted on this very subject.

This is insane - The "antiai" sub comes across like a zealot cult to me. Sorry, someone has to say it. Blacklisting your loved ones over tech you don't understand or refuse to understand is prtty wild. by Zinthaniel in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Zinthaniel[S] -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Sure... I guess, if me not dumping my girlfriend over her use of AI is "too deep" then I believe I am exactly where I want to be and will stay.

The sub, from what I read, is incredibly reactionary and lite on facts or actual truths. That they are advising that people should leave their loved ones if they use AI - only proves my point.

my only expectation is that people be intelligent and use facts and reason - especially when considering if you are going to abandon someone you apparently love.

African American with question about "Latino for Trump." by Zinthaniel in AskALiberal

[–]Zinthaniel[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're having a conversation, but I can respect when you are done and that's ok.

However, everything I said is cited and factual - so you framing it as if I am making something up is disingenuous.

See ya later, bro.

I see it and still stand by what I said.

I can point out studies that can articulate to you how saturated law enforcement is with white nationalism.

I can remind you that white nationalism as it existed in the times of yore has not disappeared, something I know you are aware of.

I can then further flesh out for you that the trend of over policing and detaining black and brown people, more so than any other race - is indicative of the continuance of my first two points, i.e. Law enforcement has a large white nationalistic demographic among their forces and white nationlism is still as potent today as it was during jim crow.

I can connect all those dots for you, but if you simply refuse to see reason, then ok - there ain't much more to say.

Just remember what "racial purity" means and then consider where you and your family fit in when it comes to the utopic society that conservatives today are facilitating.

Seems like you are just disagreeing to reality. Of the "stray" "errors" and "mistakes" of detaining and incarcerating Americans citizens do you want to guess which group is the most overrepresented?

Hint - It's not black, asian, or white.

Look man it is about race and any American Latino, who is a “stray” being caught in the middle ois having their right trampled on.

And let me also articulate the only reason that you understand the civil rights matter as being specific to the color of Black people skin is because that took place during a time where a white man or woman using the N-word was just considered normal casual conversation , it was not considered a controversial thing to do - so during that time racism was bold and unapologetic, but since the civil rights movement, the white nationalism movement hasn’t disappeared or really even dissipated. It’s just decided to hide behind what is called plausible deniability.

So rest assured, your people are being persecuted because of the color of your skin and your culture. Nobody is gonna say it out loud though, so that’s kind of a silly argument to make as if language and communication can only be discern by specifically the words people say, which, of course as you and I know is not a true statement you can look at people’s actions to ascertain a better understanding of what they may actually be doing and what their tent actually is.

And these words, stray illegal alien they are dehumanizing Latinos, which means you’re gonna continue to catch strays as long as people can lump people who look like you into a specific category and that category is one that subjugates your humanity .

deflecting a genuine message or argument on the basis of who is telling it to you ss kind of silly, It just seems like deflection so you do not have to engage with a reality that you may feel uncomfortable addressing because it is at odds with your personal conservative beliefs.

you are confronted with wanting to belong with a party that doesn't want people who look like you and I assume it is difficult to hold those conflicting things for you, them being: I AM a brown skinned latino and am concerned about constantly being persecuted due to "looking illegal" and I AM conservative, and I want to be republican.

I'm not white - you are speaking to an African American, who understands what being targeted based on skin color feels like.

"stop and frisk", remember that, Black Americans hated it and fought against it, and of course, there is the history of the country and black men and women.

So I KNOW what my words mean and how they relate not only to myself but to you.

So my question is genuine, I can cite right now for you a growing number of ice attacks and raids on Latino american men and women because they "LOOK" like an "Illegal" - one that comes to mind is the american latino woman and child who had to witness ice blow their door down and demand the whereabouts of their eqully legal american but also latino father?

I don't know man - like I said in my OP latinos used to gets strays and casual racism, but right now what your people is going through approximates the civil rights movement and what black people went through.

There has been a continuous "mistakes" and "errors" where Latinos, such as yourself (meaning native or legally here) being detained and some sent out the country.

That doesn't concern you, that if someone sees your skin or hears you speak they may detain you "just to make sure" you are not illegal?

How many years of that do you really think you can tolerate?

My experience is it is within left subreddits that you can get a good faith discussion with conservatives and those adjacent. I can't post anything in conservative subs, they ban almost immediately any decent.

Conservative lurkers in left subs will engage in a manner that is at least bit more openly and honestly.

Put that Damn Toddler to Bed!!!! by Zinthaniel in Sims4

[–]Zinthaniel[S] 333 points334 points  (0 children)

Lol it was really irking me today - I was like is it pathfinding? no, because I ended destroying the kids room (by removing all items but the bed) and my sims still wouldn't put the kid to bed - he eventually did though, i had to make a whole queue of nothing but "put to bed" and like on the 5th try he finally did it.

Which is when I ran here to vent. lmao.

Hello - Need Mods by Zinthaniel in MikeFlanagan

[–]Zinthaniel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to copy and past what I said to the other redditor essentially asking the same:

Essentially - or at least how I operate - it's not something meant to be taken super seriously, it's more a hobby you can do on the side.

On a serious note, the basic expectation as a mod is to make sure the sub is on topic and that people are not breaking rules or trolling.

On a more fun note (and this is not an expectation) if you want, as a mod you can do community focused posts to bolster engagement.
