I'm sure this is funny if you participate in whatever this community is

The real reason there's no 3rd party is the American government and electoral system. It is well attested* that parliamentary regimes and proportional representation tend to result in multi-party systems, while presidential regimes and first-past-the-post electoral systems result in 2-party...

Feraligatr isn't a bulky water, it's a physical sweeper. It plays a completely different role than Swampert. It's faster than Swampert and can set up, so if you want to play to Feraligatr's strengths, you could run something like Swords Dance/Earthquake/Rock Slide/HP Bug. That way, it's a worse...

The point is that your vote is your leverage that you can withhold (or threaten to withhold) to compel your political party to act differently. If people go "well Biden is the lesser evil", he has no incentive whatsoever to change his current policy or acknowledge the discontent in his base. But...

Well, if you put one after the other, that's what the implication is. If I told you "American colonists pushed out Native Americans. There were also Native American raids on the colonists" with no other explanation, you wouldn't perceive the two as completely independent statements, you would...

this is probably masochistic, but I'm thinking about starting an emerald run on cartridge with no RNG/glitches/cheating or external aids for the vanilla experience, also no trading as well (=no trade evos, multiple TMs, or RSFRLG mons). I probably won't bother with IV breeding either, just go...

you don't even know what I (or anyone else who responded to him) think, so save yourself the condescension. fwiw I would oppose the deletion of his post, and I do disagree with some of the discourse/ways of thinking of the american left, especially wrt indigeneity and decolonization, but that's...

Not gonna touch the rest of the points, but this is plainly bizarre. Is a Palestinian in East Jerusalem or Hebron responsible for what happened in Morocco or Iraq? Would you imply the Armenian genocide is no big deal because Turks were driven from the Balkans, for example? How does the existence...

UN special rapporteur on palestine francesca albanese... I want her to belittle me and talk to me condescendingly. surely men with refined tastes who've watched her interviews will understand also chess grandmaster and 2023 women's chess championship runner-up lei tingjie. good lord how can...

wrong! the better way is to make crouton and have it with soups

Pachirisu @ Air Balloon: Nuzzle/Sweet Kiss/Super Fang/Volt Switch Luxray @ Toxic Orb (Guts): Wild Charge/Facade/Fire Fang/Ice Fang Mismagius @ Life Orb: Nasty Plot/Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt/Mystical Fire Raichu @ Magnet: Charge Beam/Thunderbolt/Focus Blast/Grass Knot Pikachu @ Light Ball...

it can swords dance on the switch, and ninjask at +2 atk/+1 speed is... still not very threatening honestly, but I can occasionally see it doing some damage late-game. its stabs are 60 bp silver wind/aerial ace (lol) and if you want to run HP bug for the damage boost (notable for the OHKO chance...

There's also learnset eligibility: do we use RS learnsets as it was released, or do we accept pre-Emerald additions (Pokemon Box/Colosseum/any events). There are a few moves that are relevant: Extremespeed Linoone, Surf Raichu, Wish Salamence/Gardevoir. (plus Jirachi from Colosseum bonus disc?)...

I used to spam sub/protect/baton pass moody smeargle on the anything goes ladder before fascist gamefreak nerfed moody and removed evasion boosts

there are a couple posted in the discord server: s/o to whoever prepared these, I don't know anybody's nicknames
