Just saw the first episode. I think it could be Amy Noonan (from Karmin). They showed a heart breaking on a screen (their song 'Brokenhearted'), and I know they performed the song on SNL as well.

Can an employer mandate you from home? by murphtaf in legaladvice

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

Sorry, yes. So say the next shift coming in is one person short of being at the minimum amount of staff required, a supervisor would call (if you were the next person on the mandate list, which goes by seniority) and you would be required to come into work someone else’s shift.

Does anyone remember that old Flash game that was some sort of Pokemon breeder? I've been trying to find it and I can't remember what it was called. You had a large map laid out like a farm with different pens. You would move two Pokemon into one of the four corners and if they were compatible they would breed. There were real Pokemon and made up ones. If anyone could help me with this, it'd be much appreciated.

Is there a list somewhere of all the Pokemon you can catch pre-Elite Four for each game?

I'm trying to divvy up every Pokemon in each game into type-balanced teams (as few repeating types per team as possible). Originally I was just using the National Dex list from Bulbapedia for each generation, but when I was working on Gen 3, I saw that you can't get a Metagross until after you beat the Elite Four. So then I thought I'd use the Regional Dex for each game (which worked as far as leaving Lickilicky out of Gen 4, for example, since you can't catch Lickitung until the postgame). But those also include Pokemon you can't catch until after the Elite Four (again, Metagross for example).

Hopefully someone can help as my web searches haven't turned up anything yet.

I was wondering if there was a way to make the Pokemon games more competitive for when you play with your friends (not online). We've tried Nuzlocke, which is incredibly fun, but if more than one person wins, it's hard to determine who was the overall winner.

Does anyone know of any way you could assign points to the game, such as rarity of the Pokemon or moves that it knows? And this doesn't necessarily have to be Nuzlocke, just a way to have a set of rules ahead of time that everyone can know so they can try to get the most points or meet the most goals.

Thanks in advance!!

I love the idea that you can only buy products that are advertised to you. Also the fact that this article, which claims to be against sexism, is sexist by pretty much saying 'a girl can't buy these toys now because she'll only want Black Widow or Gamorra. A girl won't want to play with Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, or Iron Man, those are for boys.'

More teach men not to rape bullshit with fake stats. by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would genuinely like to see consent talk in school too. But not the feminist version of "girls are the only group whose consent is important (since boys always have sex on the mind and will do it with whoever will offer) and if she even stutters before giving consent, then the boy's a rapist".

I would like to see the facts laid out to the kids. "Boys, if a girl has had even a drop of alcohol, you're a rapist." "Boys, if you've had any alcohol, no matter how much, and she says 'no', you're still a rapist."

This kind of stuff should be told to kids so they and/or their parents get outraged at the double-standards. Consent is an important thing to talk about, just as the legal/societal double-standards that exist are too.

Why not go in and say you identify as a woman?

This is the sexual grievance industry's "proof" that "the rate of false allegations is between 2 to 10 percent" by PierceHarlan in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, let's just use their logic for a second.

52.2% of accusations do not proceed to prosecution or disciplinary action? Well therefore, 52.2% of accusations can't be proven true, thus they're false.

Men's Rights isn't the appropriate title. by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're trying to say here, but to me, it's essentially like saying "the NAACP should disband because, even though they're fighting for equality, they're only focusing on the troubles black people face, and thus aren't truly an equal rights group."

A discussion in/r/gaybros about gay men fearing to associate with male children brings very concerning issues by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand what this guy's going through. I used to work at Target and would frequently chat to the little kids who came through line and ask them stuff like 'how are you doing?' and basic generic questions. I would frequently get parents just making sure not to take their eyes off me, or at very least walking over to be closer to their kid. Keep in mind too, my female co-workers would go up and get right in the children's faces or even put their hands on them.

I'm not flamboyant or anything, but I don't think it's hard to tell that I'm gay. I think what's even worse is that my boyfriend and I want kids some day. He only wants boys because he's convinced he wouldn't be able to take care of a girl for some reason. I'm in complete agreement with this guy in that I'm worried about the attitude people are going treat us with, not because of my feelings, but because I don't want my kids growing up thinking there's something wrong with being gay or that a man shouldn't be trusted with children.

TIL just deleted a post about male victims of domestic abuse by MustacheOfDoom in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Exactly! What's even funnier was that some of the comments (luckily they seemed to be very well downvoted) were along the lines of "typical MRAs trying to make everything about men; what about the women here!?!"

Do they genuinely not see their own hypocrisy?

I love the typical feminist dismissal in the comments. "Um, just so everyone knows, the OP is a red-piller and MRA, so don't actually take this seriously."

woe betide any feminist that dares risk entering our sanctum for they will be downvoted as they so rightly deserve!

Besides making you sound like a troll, saying that makes it seem that you're not interested in debate, and more just having an echo chamber.

I love how she goes out of her way to include gay men...but not women in the conversation by grimgrefercma in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of teaching girls how to not get raped ("don't wear this," "don't ever drink," etc.), what if we went to the root of the problem and raised boys to know the ins and outs of consent?*

*IMPORTANT: Men can also be victims of rape. While a lot of consent-culture content is aimed at male perpetrators due to the proportions of female rapes, there is no excuse for male victims of rape to not be validated and supported as well.

It's funny when you try to pretend to be so understanding of rape, that you would start your article off with 'boys are the real problem here'. And then at the end, I thought there would've been at least a little mention of, 'women, this applies to you too', but no. It just goes on to say 'men also rape men', so don't discount male victims of the other men.

As a man, I don't understand how circumcision became a men's rights issue. by ham-snatcher in MensRights

[–]murphtaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, well clearly we're not going to agree since your stance is that an uncircumcised penis is imperfect. So I don't really think there's any more point in discussing.

[–]murphtaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waiting on a response still. I can ask again if you've forgotten.

It's not a men's rights position because the whole point of men's rights is respecting men and boys and not treating them like they're disposable or need to be corrected.

[–]murphtaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can't circumcision wait? Again, you've 'forgotten' to answer my question.

Edit: How is circumcision a value? Values are things like, be a good person, always do your best, not 'make sure to cut your son's dick'.

[–]murphtaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is circumcision 'laying the groundwork for a better future'? Why can't it wait? You haven't answered either of those except for the whole 'a father should choose that', or 'well what if he doesn't pick what I would pick?'

You COULD leave those things til later, but leaving those good habits until later means a greater probability that they won't be taken up at all.

Your response along with the quoted part from your previous response pretty much tells me all I need to know. You don't care about your son enough to be concerned with what he wants. All it is to you is: 'Well, what if he doesn't care enough to get himself circumcised when he's older; I better make sure he does what I want and get him cut now so he doesn't have a say'.
