I do not disaggree that people should have an equal opportunity. The problem is that when the result is not equal, the "oppressed people" claim that the system was still rigged against them by the "non-oppressed elite" and demand that the system still be changed. Hence the "weird election system" or basically quota. This introduction of qouta results in a negative perception on the perspective on the defenders of the equal rights. Not fair to the defenders but not completely unjustifiable. Do you really think the oppressed can come up for their personal grievances even though public perception does not believe they are oppressed? Who would believe that? Statements like " Men can't be raped." are a clear example of such prejudice. My favorite is this one, "males in general perform worse in school then females, except the entry exam for dentists or doctors, we do not know why females perform worse in these specific exams but these exams are discriminating to females.". People expect the opressed to be oppressed and the unoppressed to be not oppressed when the roles are reversed well tough luck. The focus on the "opression of the opressed" does indeed hinder their chance to get their rights defended which is basically opression . This can put the defenders of the rights of the oppressed in a negative perception. Also do you even think they can group together for being oppressed without the dangers of being persecuted for it? To not being labeled opressers? Well , first there are more ways to make changes without legislation. There are awareness-campaigns, public announcements, budgetairy shifts,... . A hard quota is the easiest way, since it does not solve the problem but rather the symptons.

@Eviora Fighting for your rights is good but sometimes the result is quite atrocious . In my country, belgium, you vote parliamentarians directly by selecting the people you like on a list of the party you want to vote on. It is important to note that the ordening of this list matters in general the higher the better. Now do our political correctness the list has too be exactly 50% male and 50% female and the first two places have to be of oposing gender. The question that then rises is "What if the 2 males are the best politicians of the party?" or "What if there are more competent females then males", "Should the males make place for the female even though they are more competent?" Logic ditactes no, yet it happens now. So they feel oppressed and in a way they are right. The rules also work in the opposite way , so you could say both sides are equally oprressed which is stupid, but I digress. The fact that the rules are made for the female protection makes it feel that females are oppressing males. It might be not true but it eels like that. On top of that you also get a bit more of an attention problem, you see the problems of the oppressed people get more attention. Even though opression in the reverse is also possible. These problems are mostly ignored or waved away because they are the non-oppressed side and that doesn't make sense at first. So one side gets the attention for their problems and the others get far less which is to be honest unfair. This can make people feel that they are oppressed. The final one, is that the opressed party starts invading where people feel it shouldn't invade. It is difficult to explain but I think people can find examples where they think:"'Why are they complaining about this?". This also feels that even innocent things fall victim to the terror of political correctness. It may be right or not, but that is the sentiment. Well, a bit longer than I expected but here is why I think standing up for your rights can be considered neglecting/opressing the other sides.

Well contrary sounds good until you realize that the only thing serperior can do is leaf storm and hidden power (good luck with that). On top of that it learns it very late.

I don't think Greninja is that good. The movepool is kinda meh and it is incredibly frail. It needs to OHKO and between the lvl cap which the opponent breaks and the lackluster move pool I don't think it can do that often. I have had more luck with delphox. Delphox has a very versitile movepool with options like, light screen, mystical fire,will-o-wisp, fire pledge, psyshock, psychic... . On top of that it has a serious type advantage in the early game, where the teambuilding is a bit more difficult due to a lack of options. Good against all three rivals, good against a lot of early gym battles, good against all types of gyms you have to double, good against all pulses. Late game is not that good for delphox due to having dark, ground,rock,water and dragon matchups but most players have by then a balanced team so your starter is a bit less important.

When choosing between two bad canditates, just go for broke and choose the one that is not as bad. I won't say who that is/was to avoid arguments, but you get the general idea.

I have a terrible sweettooth, so when I want to treat myself I buy something sweeth. candy, soda, pudding,... doesn't matter as long as it is sweet. I also love taking a hot bath. Setting youtube/twitch for background music is also nice. Sometimes a game will help me relax or just lying aroud and using your imagination. Oh, can't forget comedy.

I fins slowbro/slowpokes entries to be quite funny. The lazy pokemon fishes using it's tail so it can rest at the water but it is so stupid that it forgets it is fishing. However when shelder bites a slowpoke it evolves into a slowbro forcing the lazy pokemon to hunt to it's chagrin. When it devolves it then can go to it's lazy ways.

I still could use ygopro. For the meta I suppose, I can't tell you much compared to the past but you will have to learn a new mechanic : pendulum summoning. It is based on pendulum monsters: monster/spell hybrids that reside in the main deck. For the meta, consistency and speed are very important.Duels can be decided in 2-3 turns, some even end that fast. For specific meta decks you can look up abc: the successor of xyz dragon cannon decks but it does not play as an union deck though, metalfoes: a pendulum fusion deck and zodiac beasts: an xyz based deck that is now ocg only but will become relevant in the future. For ygopro play I see a lot of variety on the european servers but I think blue-eyes is the most common. I don't know about American servers.

Why would you do that? unless it takes longer to receive an egg then to hatch it , you might as well keep going instead of resetting.

You mean like an anime card? It is apparantly one option for it. Logically the cards aren't legal to use in tournaments except for token cards, so if you want to use a custom sprite, you can.

So team Plasma infiltrated Hoenn now and use Lisia for their cruel schemes? Weaponizing her cuteness to stop the rise of strong trainers which us their pokemon to fight for cash and the glory of the trainer. Such evil. Luckely you escaped her clutches. Maybe that's why they brought you here, to stop you from being a trainer with cuteness. Eh, I might be overthinking this. Either way, it was fun to read.

Episode 9 was good, battle was cool and using the gabby an ty was a nice touch to make some extra information through. Episode 10, I don't mind the chansey. I also like the whole semi-victim perspective. Poor woman. The most annoying was "oh a chateau", I find chateau such a outdated word. They didn't need to reinforce that it was the old chateau. Also why didn't flee at the first sign I don't understand, oh well horror cliche.

Thank you for the video, even though I think you don't have to justify yourself. A question though for those who don't have an account. If someone signs after the community release but not before the public release does he/she has acccess to the new episode?

I'm not saying they are bad (most are situational though) but to be fair how much is the ratio between traps and your deck? Mine are in general small something like 5 out of 40. Harpies feather duster will not increase that amount.

Well ra sphere mode looks interesting seems more like it will brick then do good. For ydealing with the gods they will get either get mirror forced (all of them) or dark hole/raigeki'd or indeed Utopiad. A shame but maybe a new set of gods is in order. A divine archetype would be cool. Nordics were a disaster on themselves. Zombies will always hold a place in my heart because they were the structure deck I got with real structure. Even now I would claim zombie is more like an archetype then a monster type. Cards like goblin zombie, zombie master, mezuki, pyramid turtle combined with the revival theme and low defense made zombies extremely cohesive. Uni-zombie made it even better and shiranui give the type some cool extra plays like crystal wing synchro dragon. Well gemini were a actually a bit handicapped at the start, I mean you need to go out of your way to get their effects which makes them a bit slower. On top of that the effects of a lot of gemini monsters were not that impressive. So you got slow monsters with mediocre effects. I don't know how much support they have received over the year but I'm not convinced of the idea yet. It does not seem fun to me. Volcanics were cool in the day it was I will do damage either way type of deck which relied heavy on the support of blaze accelator. Shame it became just an engine. Cyber angels well they have grown a lot in comparison to their anime showing (which was deplorable), they have extra effects and found a great partner into herald of perfection. The sad thing is I'm not that gaga over the two new cyber angel, Vishnu has a good level for cyber angels (2+8=10 and 4+6) the effects scream otk to me but if that fails it has very little protection. Also shuffling cyber angels into the deck is kinda strange with dakini. Nasateiya has an akward level and it's effects are good but it does not advance you forward because no opponnt is going to send it to the graveyard. Also battle protection can be done by honest and idaten. Oh boy here come zodiac beasts, because xyz summoning is so hard. They don't need 2 or three materials no 1 material. I mean bending is one thing but really this feels like it would be some bullshit thing in zexal where a villain proves how powerfull he is by xyz summoning with just one monster. Harpies feather duster, please don't. Traps are almost obsolete themselves blease don't make this the final nail in their coffin.

Debate PEDs? Cancelling SNL? [A politics thread]
FairFamily replied to mde2001's topic in General Discussion
@Absol-lutelty awesome! Well you said it yourself they have proven they removed their element of incompetence so yeah they get full trust back. However proving you removed your lack of incompetence is difficult, let's take Hillary as example. She needs more the just use the government mail server. She needs to show that she corrected her awareness to what content is classified, what content is most likely to be upclassified, knowledge of protocols, inspecting work statusses, ... . The list is long. So it will take some effort and time but in the end they can get that trust back. @Eviora Do you mean reptillian litteraly or figuratively (like a liar/faker)?- 125 replies
