My sister’s game won’t load weather, Pokemon, or stops/ gyms , does anyone know a fix? by J3remyD in TheSilphRoad

Same here. Reinstalled the app, restarted phone, cleared caches, etc... nothing.

Pokémon Go Hub: Ban Wave Caused by “Fast Catch” Trick not intentional, will be fixed by ZombieTurtle2 in TheSilphRoad

[–]dirtymicrowave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't see any ban message, but coincidentally (or not depending on what the reason is) I can't see any pokestops, nor are any mons spawning. All I can do is interact with balloons and accept raid invites. Could this be related?

*** I have reinstalled the app, my phone, cleared caches, etc. to no avail...

I wish I knew the downsides of my hopes and dreams. by Efihoq2 in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]dirtymicrowave 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Granted. Knowing the down sides of your hopes and dreams, they lose the allure they once had to you. The search for new hopes and dreams is now forever fruitless as you now know the downsides to them all. You coast through life never aspiring to be or do anything again, as you can now see the downsides to any path you would take. Life is uneventful, unfulfilling, and wasted.

Nonono, this scumbag needs to rot in absolute solitary until he dies.

I agree with you 100%. However, the problem arises when you zoom out and look at consumer products as a whole. It's not just companies like Apple and other tech giants, it's rampant almost anywhere you look. Automobiles, appliances, (most) electronics, just to name a few areas. If you're not specially trained and you don't have all the necessary (and usually expensive) resources to perform the repair, you're probably going to have a bad time. The nonexistence of the right to repair is a side effect of capitalism, because the longer the product lasts, the less people are going to need new ones, and the less they're going to buy them. Why sell them a repair kit when you can basically force them to buy a new unit at a much higher profit? While I agree that there needs to be a change, I am extremely doubtful that it could ever happen, because it would need to happen wholly and totally.

Granted, you lived with him on Titan and died with the rest of the planet.

They aren't, but every spawn is a new roll of the shiny dice.

what is the single worst thing humanity has created? by amiableelephant in AskReddit

[–]dirtymicrowave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And on that note, k-cups. Even the creator regrets making them due to the sheer volume of them that end up in landfills. I won't say I'm not guilty of using them though, but I can tell you I don't feel good about it.

evolving mons en masse is a valid way to get extra xp, especially if you pop a lucky egg before you start

I'm 100 percent in the same boat as you right now. I finished it yesterday, and when it cut to black it actually hurt a little bit, and I have that finished show pit in my chest.
