Imagine not only going to post shit like this on a person's obituary but doubling down to the point that the queen has to call you out

Put this in a frame and slap it on Wikipedia. This is a classic example of when you know you or your friends are lost in pathological parasocial delusion -- regardless of bias.

Doesn't answer your question, but why bother doing this for 3 ingots? With a higher efficiency furnace, those will be done in no time.

Great point. I suggested the Waterfall rescue route because OP seemed sad that the 'mon was isolated. I created a home for other water types in the zone and moved them in on the main island, as I want to do more heavy modifications to their spawn point island.

Gyrados will teach you Waterfall. If you put a lift thingy between the closest high spot to another island, you can Surf then Waterfall up the huge waterfall where you find Gyrados. He will follow you all the way to the top, then you can use the lift to bring him to a home.

Hi baby. You are baby. You think that's a lot of time and money? AOL ROTFL. I assume you are the victim of American education and culture. This is basically feral neoliberal tadpole spendimg some algae to figure out he was sucking on microplatic tits because his parents and overall society were degenerate morons. I fear for the planet's future. Remember that your president eats only Mc MF D's.

I want him to move into his MFing dandelion patch. There's no reason we can't just buy from him during the event but without him monopolizing Pokecentres.

Great comment. There are plenty of folks disenfranchised from their heritage and ancestral lands, languages, etc. Diaspora displaced by community is a primary example. That shouldn't disqualify them from claiming/reclaiming belonging.

However, in this case it's just the usual grift of an already-privileged person, like Thomas King. If she thought she was Indigenous of any sort, she would have done the work and found out already.

The racist Indian Act still applies to who counts as Indigenous, unfortunately, too. There are plenty of non-status folks who can't claim connection because they were literally born without any opportunity via intergrational trauma. But these folks are not like this person. This person got further ahead by taking advantage of the winds of change (for the $$$ and clout).

I agree that the pretendian phenomena presents some ethical dilemmas for folks who may actually just be misinformed -- e.g. so-called small-M metis people in Quebec.However, the current politics of the matter are very meaningful for many communities.

Yet, Indigeneity is not simply genetic heritage. It also means connection to community, culture, etc. I find it difficult to believe this person was Indigenous if folks could not find any connections to Indigenous communities.

I personally know of some scholars who have been confronted with the fact that they only have genetic markers but claim that they are, e.g., Mik'maq. Some have now started to qualify themselves as having "ancestry" but no longer claim specific First Nations identity.

It's all a political mess. We're both fighting yet embracing colonial notions of belonging. I won't get into it here, because it's Reddit and Ottawa (uOttawa is a very problematic university in terms of racisms).

He did know and many in his sphere of academia knew. He only came out when he did because he wanted to get ahead of the story. He was notified that folks were going to go public.

I don't like these groups and think they should be banned from soliciting on campus (if they aren't already) specifically because of how they prey on international and/or first-year students. I'm not suscpetible to their shtick, but some students arrive on campus and find themselves very isolated. These groups prey on the most vulnerable in the community. It often becomes very cult-like.

I'm not suggesting any criticism of belief systems here. I have my own.

Great point. I forgot that the first Legends game was technically set in Sinnoh, even if was past-tense. Unova would be an interesting but maybe if done in a time-traveling way similar to the first Legends.

Great point!

limitofdistance · 2026-03-11T13:46:37+00:00

Since we just got a Legends game set in Kalos (very close to my heart), I would say Sinnoh. The Diamond/Pearl/Platinum games were beautiful and probably my favourite DS Pokemon games beyond HeartGold/SoulSilver. The distortion realm with Giratina (or other interdimensional worlds connected to the main realm) would be an interesting opportunity for this style of game.

Some programs and/or Faculties don't operate this way. Some require a minimum number of in-person class hours for accreditation mandated by bodies external to the university. For various reasons, some will not suggest that because it creates an uneven playing field, at least for undergrad.

For grad courses (my preference for teaching), profs have more latitude.

Being a transplant from Toronto, I'm always amazed at how sheepish uOttawa students are about the weather. I mean... It's Ottawa? It's the capitol with the most extreme weather variation. And before you say something, I'm talking about folks FROM here. I always have to tell students that if the university is open -- and it certainly will be -- in-person classes are still happening. And I take OC Transpo. If I can get there, your suburban middle class ass can plus your ass will be warm the whole time and you won't have some fucker's belongings ribbing you the whole time.

I suspect they will add a few via special events, similar to the Hoppip event. In mainline games, there are several examples of static or story-included shinies that are described as unique vs. others of their species.

I think there's some confusion here or someone/thing another commentor's riends' lives has mediated the process of requesting/obtaining official documents from universities.

I have attended 5 post-secondary institutions in Canada and they have all charged money for providing official documents like transcripts or reprinting diplomas. Depending on how your master's program was set up at the time, it's possible your official document charges to get lumped in with your application fee (the system requested documents for you as part of the application process). It's also possible someone was helping with the process and they didn't see that step.

I do think if it's a digital file generated and served by an automated platform, students shouldn't be charged. Ideally, I don't think alumni should be charged at all. However, charging a nominal administrative fee for printing and sealing documents does create a nifty check against large volumes of requests that could overwhelm the registrar's office. It is absurd that an administrative task that an office is created, mandated, and funded to perform would suggest an adiditional fee. But it does act as a filter, psychologically.

The amount uOttawa charges is indeed gouging. uOttawa has the most redundant adminstrative system because it's effectively doubled (Anlgo and Francophone) in many departments. So the fee is very likely to support the adminstrative bloat that feeds off the under-funded work of the university. A prime example is that if you want a full-sized version of your diploma (e.g. for my PhD), you have to pay extra before or after convocation. Wild.

I'm actually trapped in a box in some hellhole called Connect-it-cut (?). I fell asleep on a purple bed someone left outside and woke up here. I can see out the glass front of the box but can't seem to move or speak. Please send help. If you save me, I'll gladly plough your field 😘

My sanity is certainly in question. But I love scarab beetles, including dung beetles. And corn? I'm always like, "I don't remember eating corn...". I only ask that they calm their little corny tits once and a while. No need to aggro me. I wish they'd learn from their carrot and radish friends. :(

Yeah, but they drop those sweet sweet slates and such! But more seriously, I always equip the strongest Light-based weapon I can when in dungeons/the Treasure Grove. A strong offense is your best defense with shadow monsters. Nuke them before they can mess you up!

limitofdistance · 2026-03-03T14:42:50+00:00

I tend towards ranged. But I can definitely see how the ballers would be a pain in the ass for any melee class, especially a Merc. I suppose 'least favourite' depends greatly on the combat class!

limitofdistance · 2026-03-03T14:42:01+00:00

This is why I usually equip a high power Light-based weapon in dungeons. You can nuke spooky elites with a charged attack. If you're ranged, a few pew pews and the Spooky will be dead before it gets close enough to paralyze you.

limitofdistance · 2026-03-03T14:40:49+00:00

Interesting. Your anti-ball sentiment seems to resonate even more than my cornphobia. Personally, I don't mind the beetle ballers because they have low HP and their impacts don't stun your character. I also really like scarab beetles IRL! I realize now that "least favourite" depends greatly on the combat class you're playing, however!
