  1. A thread fill of circles and spirals is the last thing teto left behind before disappearing mysteriously one day. Inspection of his room by his parents following the disappearance revealed the walls, ceiling and the floor covered in spirals and circles.

  2. If the same characters are used from the Hoenn region and if trainer customization is still a thjng, we can finally see once and for all that the male trainer doesn't have white hair, but a hat. I thought he had white hair for the longest time and thought it was really stupid looking.

    The theme of man Vs nature was prominent in the originals. This is just speculation, but perhaps players will use a hybrid car instead of a bike?

  3. Pretty sure they'll have day and night


    Guys, you can transfer your Pokemon from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/Soulsilver, to Black/White/Black 2/White 2, to X/Y, then trade them to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. It'll be like the baby Pokemon was born in its native land of Hoenn, lived a full life abroad in the world, and then dies, returns to Hoenn and is buried in its native soul. The circle of life...

    Just like Michelle Obama, you too can join the movement to save hundreds of lives. I'm talking about those precious, young lives of the kidnapped Nigerian girls who you didn't know existed at all until this brave movement. Take a photo of yourself holding up a piece of paper with the #BringBack hashtag. If it's too much work to hold up the photo, you can simply stand next to it. Or if you don't have a camera, you can still get active in this movement and  always just write the hashtag on a piece of paper and stand next to it. If you don't have a piece of paper, you can just imagine the hashtag in your mind. You'll be a really good person for it, just please take the second out of your day to change the world...

     

    Let's keep this up, you guys and soon we can save innocent lives!

     

     

    Hateful spoiler:

    "Supporting" something with a photo of yourself, or online activism is the laziest, most self-righteously misguided thing a person can do, in my opinion. It's purely ego. Nothing else. Every reasonable person would probably think that it's a positive thing if the Nigerian girls ended up being safe and brought back home. No shit. Does it change anything to be vocal about it?. Using a tragedy to further your own ends - the liberal's hallmark, but it's not even for an actual belief or cause. Purely ego.

     

    This kind of "activism" is the same as a selfish prayer. I don't really get praying for something, because you could be out trying to attain that goal with your own actions (or God's actions through you, which may the be how some see it). But still, lazy activism and passive "support" for things disgust me. "Joining a movement" is as easy as writing two words on a piece of paper". Does retweeting a "good" thing do anything? No. Besides maybe make you feel like a good person. Activism through social media is a disease. It's pressing a puppying button to feel like a good person.

     

    Nigeria is its own puppying sovereign nation, thousands of miles away. Do you think any of the kidnapped girls are logging on to reddit or tumblr on their iPhones and seeing these hashtags? The kidnapper is probably gonna set the girls free, like a puppying Tumblr giveaway when the movement's post's notes reach 100,000. Probably. I mean it makes sense, right?

    Kill yourself.

  5. I think this is a special case for human nature and rule making/breaking; it's impractical to condemn most rules based on how they entice people to break them, yeah, but in this case you have to weigh the consequences of enforcing/removing this rule because the stakes are so high. It's less about people wanting to break this rule and more about how they break it, namely they defy this rule by becoming obsessed with the mystery of the female body. I think it's kind of like the old argument about repressing sexuality and shaming people for sexual activity; those laws actually encourage greater deviance rather than helping anyone, so it's understandable to criticize the law because people will want to break it.

     

    That's fallacious. If you are restricting sexual activity, and then you have sex with someone, that's considered devious under the new law, whereas before it was just normal. It reminds me of this incredibly skewed report of how gun crime in the UK rose by 500% or so after guns restrictions were established. It's not like everyone was just exploding in violence. In reality, things were pretty much the same, except the law more strict. So people who had owned guns or carried guns in the past were now committing crimes under the new law, hence the "surge" in crime. The 500% increase in gun violence was a result in the reporting of the new laws, not a backlash against the law. I paraphrased and probably skewed details of the UK gun law thing, but the point still stands.

     

    I don't agree with your example, but I do actually think that on some level, some people become curious about the taboo subjects and do them out of rebellion. I agree there, but I don't think curiosity versus taboo has anything to do with laws. 

     

     

     

    And about your other point: are public restrooms like, a place where you are expressing your uniqueness? Are there people who consider a public restroom some kind of sanctuary? Or some place in which they can feel at home? No, they're puppying gross and provide the bare minimum for people to piss and shit and wash their hands. You don't flaunt your genitals in the restroom, or even look at anyone else really. Many countries don't even have public restrooms. 

     

    What if someone has AIDS and they get sick from a toilet seat? What if I have a crippling fear of using a urinal next to someone? Do I get a private bathroom for myself? What if I'm a germophobe and there's not hand-sanitizer?????? God damn, I would feel so oppressed. You have to deal with everything that happens, be it gender dysphoria or whatever. The idea of a public restroom kind of sums up the concept of "deal with it". It's really gross, has the bare minimum with no perks, and is there to provide for some of the most basic human functions. puppy how you feel about it, you'll use it no matter how much it is unpleasant.


  6. Your first point about taboo zones - I don't think you can criticize a rule or set of rules based on how it makes you want to break that rule. That's a confusing sentence to type. The rule itself doesn't make people want to break the rule. It's human nature to want to break rules in general. (It's also human nature to have rules, don't get me wrong.) I don't think the trans part is "most important", as you said.


  7. I played Ruby more than any Pokémon game. I have really great memories of it. The store was dumb (but it was even dumber in Sapphire). I really enjoyed the secret bases and the scenery, especially small details like that you could see reflected clouds in puddles on the ground. I remember there was a long stretch of land and interesting forest scenery between two cities. It was a GBA game but it actually made me feel immersed and lost in the wilderness (in a good way).

    The generation had lots of neat secrets. Like if you catch Relicanth or Feebas, it actually feels like an accomplishment.


  8. So it takes a long time for packages to arrive and be processed because I'm in a dorm at school. I finally got my GBA Flash Cart yesterday. But I didn't realize that it used Mini SD cards, not Micro SD cards. I already had bought a 16GB Micro SD card in preparation for this. So it was kind of annoying to realize that I had to either find a Mini SD card adapter or wait another 8 days for it to be shipped to me.

    So I went to go to walmart to return my Micro SD, and I waited in traffic for 45 minutes. It was rush hour and traffic was standing still. It was actually faster for me to leave the road, go to target, check of target had the Mini cards, then walk to Walmsrt across the gridlocked road to Walmart (instead of attempting a U-turn). So obviously Target didn't have it. And Walmart had a massive and slow line at the customer service desk. So I already wanted to die. I was really tired at this point already.

    I decide to go to Best Buy by the mall, in mall traffic. Then to RadioShack that's further away. Then the Radioshack guy tells me to go back to the mall's Radioshack. So I do those things. I also stop at audio/video shops that I'm finding on my map app, which all turn out to be car stereo installation shops. I also attempt to visit a promising store that simply don't exist anymore. Then I stopped at a CVS Pharmacy. None of these places sold Mini SD cards. This all took over three hours, in nasty hot weather, during rush hour, all on the same 5 mile stretch of a single road.

    I was really annoyed. I finally try a battery store, expecting nothing honestly. They were closing early at 7:50, instead of 8. And I luckily made it. The store had one adapter for $20. It was 2 GBs. I think my 16GB Micro SD was $18. But whatever

    After trial and error and navigating through broken links and obsolete information from 2007 (when these cards were popular), I manage to find the correct firmware for the card, and a GB-to-GBA converter for roms. So now I'm playing Pokémon Blue on a postage stamp-sized screen on my GameBoy Micro (which is normally impossible without flash cart). It's the only thing that I've ever wanted. Even though my 16 GB Micro SD is too new for the firmware, but whatever. It was overkill anyway.

  9. I take it back. I don't think it's okay to deal with tyrants, but it's better than meddling and trying to topple them. Because meddling is always bad, in my opinion. I think the US only topples someone (or keeps them in power) because it's profitable. Meddling starts looking like imperialism really quickly. Progress and the misplaced desire to help the oppressed of another sovereign nation are pretty much the cousins of imperialism.

    That's weird that Russia did all that without compensation. In the US, actually, imminent domain is pretty sketchy, too. There are lists, public lists on the internet, of how much domestic homes would hypothetically be worth in compensation if the government needed the land. And the government also recently stated that on top of their adequately understandable reasons for imminent domain, that economic growth is a legit reason to tear down someone's house and give them the bare minimum of its worth.


  10. If I recall, the US made efforts to keep the Shah in power, and basically placed him in power in the first place. He was a puppet for the US. The US is fine with dealing with tyrants as long as it is profitable. Which is okay by me, actually. The meddling was actually pretty lame, though. Imperialism and meddling are terrible and have long-lasting consequences.

    I feel like the essay is really informative, but it doesn't get to the point until like halfway in. I was always told to keep it brief for history reports. Idk. You can tell that you really got into the assignment, though.


  11. I feel like everyone lies on them anyway. Just do it :)

    But yeah, I lowered my results for the stats. It just didn't feel right to have lots of high numbers.

  12. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.

    A chaotuic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own libery but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. The chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). The common phrase for chaotic neutral is "true chaotic". Remember that the chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

    Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom both from society's restrictions and from a do-gooder's zeal.

     

    My Class: Artificer

    Artificers treat mastery of magic like a tech­nical skill. They see a pattern in energy and matter, and they develop an understanding of how to manipulate the flow of arcane energy in and around material objects and creatures. Artificers learn to channel magic into items by using complex chains of sigils and diagrams or by using magical materi­als. With their skills, they can assemble the perfect magical object for any situation.

    As an artificer, you might have learned your craft through a variety of means. You could be a formal student of arcana who became interested in magic items and arti­facts. Maybe you're a tinkerer who devised magic tools in a musty basement. Or perhaps you are an explorer who found your knowledge in forgotten places.

    With a bandolier slung across your chest, you carry an arsenal of alchemical compounds, magical implements, mundane materials, and tools. You mix reagents, drink potions, and craft items. And you use your knowledge to infuse yourself and your allies with arcane power. One day, your magical skills will carry you into legend.

     

    My stats:  Your stats are:
      STR:9
      INT:14
      WIS:13
      DEX:13
      CON:13
      CHR:13

     

    My Race: Gnome puppy

    Gnomes are welcome everywhere as technicians, alchemists, and

    inventors. Despite the demand for their skills, most gnomes prefer

    to remain among their own kind, living in comfortable burrows

    beneath rolling, wooded hills where animals abound.

     

    so with my results, i was like "cool, cool, cool" and then I got gnome.

  13. @Chase, I have to take breaks from the internet and the forums often. Liberals are totally over-represented in the places I visit. It's nice to have a breather every now and then. That goes the same for any homogenized group. There needs to be a mix up because only hearing one side of an opinion for a long time in a super liberal-saturated place is soul crushing.

  14. If heaven is run by a "benevolent dictator" and is compared to a communist state, and Lucifer tried to rally other inhabitants of heaven to rise up and be individuals instead of bowing before a dictator, are you implying that 1980s President Ronald Reagan would attempt to intervene in Heaven and support a CIA-backed coup in the name of Lucifer?

    Holy puppy the Muslims were right about America and black people were right about Reagan. This is why Muslims call us The Great Satan and black people think Ronald Reagan is the devil.
