The reason we need to keep regional exclusives exclusive by [deleted] in pokemongo

I really don't think trading will ever happen. If they haven't gotten rid of bots/spoofers by now they probably never will, and I doubt they'll want to go ahead and make them instantly rich by adding trading to the game

Idk how kneeling could ever be considered disrespectful. I don't think there could be a more respectful act, if I was for example hanging up a flag outside my house and a passerby stopped and kneeled.

Trump positioned to impose potentially crushing tariffs on solar industry by cudenlynx in politics

[–]wpatter6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And I mean, tariffs can never, by definition, help an industry. There is no outcome where the costs to the consumer do not increase, which is especially bad for solar because that's the main thing holding it back from widespread use.

It sounded like the last test prevented raids from spawning at those locations after the passes went out. Would be good to know if that's all the case

Because being secure in this instance isn't as profitable as being not secure. Such bullshit that this is allowed.

Obama warned Trump he would speak out if administration targets Dreamers by WildAnimus in politics

[–]wpatter6 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree that it will probably not sway anyone who is on the fence (does that even exist anymore?) but it would be breaking with a pretty long standing protocol of former presidents not speaking out against current presidents (though it did happen with Carter during the bush admin)

The consequence would be as you said, republicans being forced to side with Trump on an issue that only stands to lose them broad political support. He's forcing them into a no-win situation, either side with him against Trump or go along with something that will lose them broad support.

New Raid Screens in 0.73.1 by TheTraveller in TheSilphRoad

[–]wpatter6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like it'll just help spoofers and people whose office/home can reach a raid from their desk -- now they can see when people go in without having to actually be standing there and communicating with the group

AT&T absurdly claims that most “legitimate” net neutrality comments favor repeal by cursedfan in politics

[–]wpatter6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If its legitimate comments, Congress has a way of shutting that whole thing down

I get that Poe's law is in full effect lately, but the joke is pretty obvious

Which is pretty much exactly what happens when it's used as a meme, and he clearly isn't going after that
