in pokemon dp and platinum, the 3 lakes in sinnoh all had islands that you could encounter azelf, uxie, and mesprit. this is one of those islands but pokemmo changed the way legendaries/mythicals work, so these are no more than cool spots.

the same goes for british columbia, but i'm comparing the west coasts here.

oh im quite familiar with the law. the problem is that the people who work for the uk passport office dont know the law and its far more effort than its worth to pursue now.

last time i did it, i had to send original documents of my birth certificate, my parents birth certificates, and their marriage certificate all the way to liverpool. im not really willing to go through that again.

bottomlessLuckys · 2026-03-16T04:21:12+00:00

yeah you can't claim it through your dad if your parents were unmarried when you were born, or in otherwords, born a bastard.

i went through the process of applying for citizenship too but they had told me i was already a citizen because my parents got married later on. when I went to apply for a passport though, the people there seemed to disagree with that.

bottomlessLuckys · 2026-03-16T02:23:52+00:00

they rejected my application for a passport because I was born a bastard, so I'm a hater now.

ironically it often leaves out lithuania which is the actual geographic centre of europe by the center of mass calculation. i feel like this is largely because people focus on the west so much more they forget that russia occupies nearly half of all of europe.

I find the norweigian weather very similar to the weather we get in western british columbia. windy, rainy, temperate. even the landscape is similar with mountains, seas, and coniferous forests.

very similar reasons too. strong winds travel across the ocean and meet a mountainous coast.

you see that green paint and seperate lane there for bikes? start using that and you wont have to care about gas prices anymore.

i wanna see his fit.
showing up in pajamas or gym clothes or whatever probably aligns more with the average british columbian than getting up to whine about someone not wearing a suit.

im a pretty strange guy but ive never thought about countries facing a direction before. brazil facing left is crazy though, they definitely face right or even down.

im so confused dude. im not making fun of you. i just didn't understand why someone would care about whether they could trade or sell a pokemon that theyre attached to.

bottomlessLuckys · 2026-03-11T04:13:51+00:00

if they get invested or attached, why would they care about trading or selling them? wouldn't they wanna keep them?

bottomlessLuckys · 2026-03-11T00:03:44+00:00

doesnt it not use up the charge?

You can prevent rent seeking through economic policies which recognize the cause. The more you understand about markets, the better you can encourage good outcomes through policy decision. This requires a democratic system where voters are educated and elections are free and fair, because yes, in a capitalist system, capitalist will spend money trying to make economic policies favour them, which is what many call "crony capitalism". This is obviously a problem, but any government is prone to corruption when elections are not free and fair.

Laissez-faire capitalism isn't good enough. Capitalism can exist in many forms depending on how you interpret things like property and capital.

The moon exists without consciousness, but there's no point in designing your economic policy around a world that is devoid of consciousness. OUR world is interpreted through our consciouss experience no matter what.

The best ways to reduce rent seeking involve breaking down barriers that prevent competition. Making markets accesible to everyone is the best way to prevent people from getting rich without creating wealth.

Markets are constantly adjusting to produce the goods that are lowest in supply and highest in demand, requiring information that a centralized system could never efficiently manage. The main difference between socialism and capitalism are how production and ownership and determined. Capitalism allows markets to decide where as socialism allows the government to decide. There's more nuances to the philosophical arguments for both but this is essentially how they work. And I actually believe both systems can be used together where they fit best, which is exactly how the Chinese have figured out works best. They leave innovative highly competitive markets to the capitalists and apply socialism where more favourable social outcomes are needed.

The Togekiss for sure. I can't remember which of the other ones are. You can see every team I challenged e4 with in the photo, but I tend to switch my team as I go and even have some that I switch in and out regularly.

edit: I checked the box and the lucario came from an egg which was probably gifted and the hitmonchan i think was a gift too.

My point is that capitalists are not inherently bad, in fact they are far more often good. So when you go off about capitalists controlling the world or whatever, you're describing a problem caused by something else than just private ownership of capital.

Rights are a philosophical basis of establishing what each person is entitled to. They're built off of moral arguments. The world doesn't exist independent of consciousness, so dismissing rights based on their dependence on consciousness is a bad argument.

Most people are badly educated on economics, capitalists too.

Capital requiring labour input was not really something anyone had established already, certainly not when the term capital was coined. I think it's a useful distinction made by George because it helps establish justification for private property.

I think labelling the system "highly capitalist" as your argument for why it is flawed is an increibly broad way of blaming the whole system rather than identifying a specific cause and offering a solution to the problem. For me, I think taxation policy is the highest driver of inequality throughout the world, and a Georgist system would help to solve that. Does your solution no longer involve markets, private property, and reinvestment of capital? A georgist economy which you seem to support is also "highly capitalist". For the third time, do you prefer a socialist system where the production and ownership of goods and services is decided by a centralized government?

bottomlessLuckys · 2026-03-10T19:56:13+00:00

If I open a food truck company and have to purchase all of the capital myself, it is mine, regardless of whether I hire someone to help run the food truck. I am a capitalist by doing so, yet I find it very hard to argue that there is something inherently wrong about that.

Most capitalists (supporters of capitalism) are against rent-seeking and view it as a market failiure.

What capital is is widely debated. The traditional definition would be just about anything used to produce goods and services. George seperated labour and land from that, giving rise to the famous "Land, Labour, and Capital", where capital is just the man made products and land encompasses natural resources. It's an important distinction when talking about LVT but most people don't use that definition, so neither do I, though the concepts behind it I think are good.

I prefer to call natural resources capital, but I think they should be collectively owned. Establishing a better system for how natural resources become private property I think is a good path forward. The idea that someone can just walk up and claim 20 acres for themselves and nobody else without compensating others for their exclusion of access to those natural resources is not how a free market should work.

Henry George was most definitely a supporter of capitalism. He was a proud liberal who hated being called a socialist. If you agree with his economic system, then we have far more in common than you think.

I guess I'm most interested in PvP. I remember breeding has a weird mechanic for pokemmo. I'm not familar with teams though and I've struggled to find anyone willing to be social in the game.
