  1. I'm sorry for your loss. While it wasn't Reborn specifically, I once lost my Sapphire Version while going through a routine hospital visit. This was shortly after I had successfully leveled kyogre to 100 and sceptile was about 92 when it happened. I was happily sheer cold'in shelgon one moment, and then I wasn't. Hope you make the best out of what was saved from the file.
  2. Replace Kricketune is probably a good start point. It's not that strong of a pokemon and there are plenty of better alternatives. Flash Fire Pokemon are apparently useful for taking advantage of the field and using it against her. There's also brute force or removing the field effect entirely.
  3. When a raccoon decided to make your balcony a nest for a day...

  4. If it were another pokemon, you might consider your situation super lucky! I've gotten three different mons in every playthrough, so I suppose it's just you beating the odds!
  5. I am sm0l like baby bear, fierce like baby bear, RAWWRR like bear.

  6. Honestly think he did alright. Probably, though we'll see when it happens. He may have a point though. Maybe the media needs to reevaluate how they inspect political matter? What rights do minority citizens not have that the majority of citizens do have? I'm not talking about sacrificing minorities for the "greater good." I have no idea how you jumped there to be honest O.o I'll give you that you may not want to see a hot-head president.
  7. It's a legitimate issue to me. If she did that as POTUS with nuclear codes for example, that's the entire world's security at risk because of her carelessness, and no amount of excuses undoes that. It's the lack of concern for protocol and security that's a major concern for me. Civil rights has made giant strides in the past years, but honestly, there's more important issues for the government to deal with at this time. In my opinion, that is a social issue more than a governmental issue, and any more change here needs to start at the personal and community levels rather than a national level. If it becomes a national issue in some way, it could be a more important issue, but right now, I don't believe that's the case.
  8. Yes, I remember this being in the news. Iirc, there was also someone's pet dog/turtle who voted Democrat in an election as well. Illinois is just generally corrupt though, e.g. Blagovich "trying to sell Obama's senate seat."
  9. Ahh, I never said they were taking action. And you should care about the stories of others, or else you'll fail to understand so many people. I also didn't say it had to be every time; you're not a philosopher with infinite time to ponder the great questions of why people do. Food for Thought: If "The moment they take action to progress that opinion into a reality the value of their action supersedes whatever is going through their heads." were applied to the Hillary email situation, wouldn't her intent in the matter be mute? (Opinion: It's fine to use this email server instead of the government secure server for classified documents. Reality: It's not okay to use a personal server for that. Result: ???)
  10. Yes, I understand this can happen. When it does happen it's horrible, and I hope you understand why I don't really like seeing it all over the news, especially when it seems to be used more as political jabs than anything else. I believe there are so many better ways to reach resolution, but if it does provide them some closure, good for them. They've still got a long way to go to recovery, and I hope they get that rather than unneeded attention and popularity or notoriety. Eviora: @Cyanna Always be open to other opinions, huh? What if I'm talking to a Neo Nazi who believes all Jews should be rounded up and executed. Should I be open to that opinion? Yes you should listen to the opinion, but hopefully you have enough common sense and knowledge to understand why this is absolutely horrible opinion. And part 2 of the advice, why do these people even believe it? That's honestly going to give you a lot of insight into people that you'd never consider if you don't ever listen to their arguments.
  11. @Dobby: I like your first statement; I wish it were less true though >.< On the second, it may be "independent," but it has a general liberal bias in its comedy/jokes. And there's the theory that most elections are based on popularity of name and how positive/negative the associatations with the name are, rather than actually knowing anything. So if a person's "news source" is SNL, they'll likely never vote Trump. (Within the context of the theory) @Eviora: I agree with fair's statement about your post. Moreover, if you're going to completely disavow people's opinions, then you shouldn't be arguing in the first place as you'll eventually create just as much of an alternate reality for yourself except with your own opinions rather than theirs. Advice: always be open to what people say whether or not you agree with it. If you don't agree with it, every now and then try to figure out why they do agree with it. Also, please don't be so snide with Absol, he's too young in my opinion to really be getting into politics and he's trying his best to articulate his views and reasons/sources to the best of his ability. Also, I really don't think 50% of the US is deplorable. If that were true, then why should Hillary want to rule the nation of deplorables, if they're so far gone in their racism, sexism, blah blah blah? @Mde: I don't think we can agree on the issues you brought forth. Mainly wanted to just say I don't agree with most of what you mentioned for various, personal reasons, but honestly I respect that you believe differently. Agree to disagree I suppose. @Tacos: Wonderful story, but is what normally happens to every abuse victim? I'd really hope this isn't the typical example, but I also believe that in this situation, she made the mistake of not seeking any help or counsel for what happened, especially immediately after the incident, and that refusing to get assistance and allowing it to govern her life for 20 years is her fault. The abuse is not her fault. The trauma it may cause is not her fault, but the failure to address the abuse or trauma in a meaningful way is her decision and her fault. This is not a popular opinion from what I understand, but it's my opinion from various experiences and from information of various sources. And truly, I sympathize with anyone going through this sort of event; it should never happen. Some victims can come to terms with it on their own, but others need extra support to handle it. And again, I wanted to reiterate that I really wish these claims were not public to prevent more harm coming to these women, and I'd rather know they're getting some sort of assistance to overcome it than having their names dragged across national television to support a political agenda.
  12. Needs more Excadrill, though it appears you didn't obtain him from secret egg. Honestly, you're team looks absolutely fine. Doesn't really need to change at all, although leveling up more would help.
  13. Look at me! I'm Pretty :D

    1. Absol-lutelty awesome!

  14. "And nothing about the Pulse shooting tweet? Nothing about Blacks living in hell, Latinos and Mexicans being foreign gangbangers, rapists, and job theifs, nothing about a large group of his supporters starting the hashtag #Repealthe19th so women can't vote and Trump can win by a landslide? "Yeah Trump has said stuff but look what Hillary has done" yeah she's done stuff but an entire world of good for the people of this country. Everything she's done with education, women's health and veterans, all absent from the news. "Trump creates jobs" yeah tell that to all of those workers he didn't pay. "He's a businessman" well everyone praises Andrew Jackson as one of the greatest presidents because he had no national debt, but because he was too dumb and shortsighted to fix all of his inflation, he implemented the Species Circular and throwing the country into another depression right before jumping out of office and leaving it to his faithful secretary of state to clean up and take the blame for." @ Blue: I don't argue about things I haven't looked into, nor do I argue about things that I feel have no meaningful value, such as the #Repealthe19th which was taken completely out of context and is a Twitter hashtag. That's never going to happen in this country, and it's not worth talking about. And I'm sorry that the government has failed to protect its people, especially the minorities in inner cities and elsewhere. One thing I wonder about is these minorities generally vote for the democrats (e.g. Chicago is a Democrat controlled city with major violence), so if nothing is changing for them, shouldn't they vote for a republican instead in hope for change? "Also, is there a trademark on ways to sexually assault people? If not I fail to see how similar phrasing really excuses it." @Cat: No, there's no trademark way. None of it is good, but it's too much to expect people to be perfect. Decent human beings yes, but absolutely perfect with no flaws, no. People have hormones and random urges to do or say really stupid or insensitive things (and sometimes is funny e.g. CAH). Anyways, this is probably more appropriate for a political correctness thread than this thread, but continue if you feel the need.
  15. There's nothing wrong with being a girl or effeminate. Please don't hold something like that against Obama or any male really. Just wanted to point this out nicely since you can get into or cause a lot of trouble for saying something like that.
  16. @Mael: I'm switching to the first one as soon as I can. Thanks a bunch!
  17. Or they are looking for as many misinterpretations as possible for Conservatives and are very lenient with Liberals? That's possible right? I don't think half the nation is more likely to lie based on their political beliefs. That doesn't make sense. So when the data displays that, likely sources might have bias, might misinterpretation information, might communicate information poorly, or they might have invalid information to begin with.
  18. @BlueWolf - I don't follow football or sports. It's not interesting to me. "For one, you don't get to decide when, where and how someone comes to terms with sexual assault. There is not a time limit. Yes, there are many many facilities are support groups of which one can get counselling on their traumatic event. But saying because those things exist is like saying "Because calculators exist, everyone should make an A on the math test" In my opinion, there is a time limit to justifying your trauma. It's not a hard limit, everyone needs time to cope with loss/trauma etc, but at some point there needs to be momentum to move forward instead of dwelling on it perpetually and allowing bitterness to control your life. You can't allow yourself to remain a victim, or else you'll remain the victim and be miserable for the remainder of your life. I don't want to really discuss this point more, since I'm not personally going to change it and it's more about my personal beliefs than the original topic. And I agree with Trump, his "locker room talk" isn't as bad as murder. Do you think his "locker room talk" is worse than what ISIS is doing? Yes, it's a diversion from the original topic on his part, but ISIS really is a more important issue than a 2 minute recording of language most people have fantasized worse about. I don't care about Tweets. If we're judged on tweets, facebook chats, and anything else on the internet, than everyone should likely be in jail. Yes it's a battle, and I don't like how the left is levering sexual assault victims and private footage from a trailer said 11 years ago for their political agenda. Couldn't they have won without having to go to such lengths? @ICSW, Benghazi is a location where the United States Embassy was under attack by foreign forces. I never bothered to look into the specific details of the event, but it was during the Obama administration when Clinton was still Secretary of State. The incident was originally downplayed as less serious than it actually was iirc, but again, I didn't investigate into all the details so this is all I really know. It wasn't a shining moment for America. @TurtleCat Thanks for the articles. Will give a read through, but at least from the first one. My interpretation can be completely valid from the facts given. Also, I really hope you know the biases of whatever site your reading from. I'd like to maybe give counter articles, but probably another time since I have to get back to doing things.
  19. If you could cite me your sources on the email scandal, please give me one or two to read. I'd like to understand how you think I'm misunderstanding her email scandal. Also, are you referring to her "lacking intent" as to the lack of recommendation? Did you read the article that I linked for you to read? I also don't believe victims should remain victims. After you survive trauma of any sort, you have a choice to make afterwards. You can choose to let the event define who you are, or you can accept it and grow as a stronger person afterwards. You do not need to come to terms with it on your own; you can receive help from your community, friends, family, or other groups to overcome this trauma. And eventually, the hope is to be free from this for the remainder of life. So, seeing these women suddenly calling out allegations of sexual abuse is quite frankly in contrast with this ideal. I don't know if they're right or if they're only saying this for attention, but I believe that they've yet to come to terms with their experience. Public outcry to destroy a person's political career does not grant your peace or settle your conscious on what happened, so why would these women do this? Are they truly this traumatized? If so, I believe they should find someone to help them overcome their issues rather than having them used by the media for a political agenda. I want these women to have lives that are not defined by sexual assault, whether it happened or not. Shame on the Media for using their horrible experiences to further agenda, and probably setting them back on any sort of progress they've done to come to terms with themselves. Are they doing this for publicity or as part of the media? Shame on them for using sexual assault as a political tool. It's not right to take something so serious and publicize it for the sake of political agenda. I don't know what you don't understand about what I am saying, but it's likely that we'll never agree on these matters. And that's the great thing about freedom.
  20. Turtle, I must respectfully disagree with your points, and I am saddened you imply I don't know what I am talking. I understand that sexual assault is traumatic. It's horrible for it to happen to anyone and shouldn't be tolerated. It's belittles the recipient while the perpetrator feels empowered in their action. It's not right in any circumstance. But, there's a point afterwards where you've hopefully come to terms with being a survivor of any traumatic event. That's why there are support groups and communities to help deal with any sort of event like this. Now, I don't understand why these women are coming forward after years of struggling to come to terms with their situation. I don't believe they were sitting there for years plotting and scheming of destroying Trump, in this situation, during the years afterwards. I don't believe they would ever made it into the media if Trump wasn't in this political race. So why did they come forward now, and why are their stories broadcasted nationwide be all these media outlets? Shouldn't these women be seeking help to deal with their problem instead of going public at this critical time in a campaign if they've been struggling with it for that many years? Shouldn't they not be sharing their stories on a national level to prevent millions of people from labeling them as this victim, so they don't have to walk down the street as the woman who Trump assaulted or the woman who claimed Trump assaulted her? I can understand these victims might still struggle with the assault if it did happen years ago, but being a national news story on mainstream media to prevent a person from candidacy is NOT APPROPRIATE for any media to do. I'd rather know these women are getting support for themselves than have them be news fodder for a political agenda. The email scandal is from my perspective on the issue. For one, I wonder how do you get 30,000 emails about Yoga and your daughter in the first place on a psuedo-personal/government email? Unless she's spending all of her time at the gym or with her daughter instead of campaigning, how did she gather that many emails about those two subjects alone? Also, if those deleted emails were only about that, then why go through the effort of deleting them all? Her story on the issue doesn't make a shred of sense, and I don't see the left media discussing it while the right talks about the same details and further details every time, so I gather that the people supporting her are trying to down play the matter while the people opposed to her are actually concerned about this issue, since she's about to take an office with much higher responsibility than before if she's victorious. I mean, here's an article that supports the recommendation was done against in the investigation team's request: (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/13/fbi-doj-roiled-by-comey-lynch-decision-to-let-clinton-slide-by-on-emails-says-insider.html) Now, you may dismiss Fox News as a bad news outlet, but honestly try to put aside any bias and just read what they have to say. Looking at both sides of the argument is needed to make the best decision. That's why I try my best to listen to town hall meetings and campaign events and articles from both sides of the political spectrum and conclude from there. I want to make a good decision here since who knows how many more elections we'll actually have, and if this one will be the critical election that spirals the global scene out of balance. I also want people to think more than what any media tells them and think about why/how/where and for whom they tell them "the news." That's my 2 (more) cents.
  21. "And let's be clear about the 2 minutes of his life that as recorded. It showed him not only being sexist, but showing off about sexual abuse. I'm not a fan of sexism, but its nowhere near as damaging as groping random women. Especially given it was not just talk and a plethora of women have said he abused them in these very ways. There was a lot of reporting on Clinton's stuff when it was relevant. However she has been found to have committed no crimes with her email server and Benghazi and, while the wikileaks scandal wasn't great it got its run time and became largely irrelevant once Bernie endorsed her. " Why are these allegations coming out now after 11+ years of silence? Why are some of these allegations also coming from people with connections to Hillary's campaign and the DNC? Why are some of these allegations in complete contrast to other witness accounts? When you think about why these are all coming out now, it's mostly likely just part of a smear campaign by the left. That's not "going high when they go low" to put it in certain words of a certain presidential candidate. And in reference to the Server specifically, why did the FBI not decide to persecute her when the investigative team apparently wanted to see the details brought before a grand jury at the very least (from a recent article). Why did she need to give her aides immunity from prosecution if what she did was innocent? Why is she excused from jeopardizing sensitive government documents because she "forgot protocol?" Why did the FBI consider changing their stance on what counts as mishandling government information months before Hillary's case got brought up? Why is she allowed to literally jeopardize country security and walk away without a mark on her record and then become PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? A person who literally hid 30,000 emails about "yoga and her daughter Chelsea" after being issued a subpeona by the Government and who had boxes of documented emails (physical copies from PO box iirc, sorry don't remember exactly where) literally disappear in transit to the government. It doesn't make any sense how she has support except that the Media is completely on her side and the election is rigged to prevent anyone who wasn't her from winning, even after she's had a horrible record RECENTLY of being a poor politician and leader. And that's not right.
  22. Basically my perspective on all this, politics is borked. This is literally an election between two candidates the majority of Americans view as poor choices, but even then, these are the two choices that are possible to win. Why? Because there are only two major parties, and until one party dies, another ideology cannot take root in the political system. Besides the drawbacks to the two-party system, the mainstream media fails to represent an unbiased, neutral stance when deliberating over politics. There's hardly any mainstream media coverage of Hillary's horrendous record on Benghazi, the Wikileaks emails related to her/her campaign/her policies, and of course the scandal that is her email server. To actually hear anything about this, you'd have to go to Fox News or another Right-wing news source, and if you do, your opinion on any of these matters is mute since it comes from "crack-pot" sources and "conspiracy theorists." Meanwhile, a video of Donald Trump talking for 2 minutes in a trailer 11 years ago ires the entire populace, causes his supporters to back out, and all the media says the election is over after a private recording of TWO MINUTES of his whole life? THIS IS MESSED UP AND COMPLETELY UNFAIR. What he said wasn't okay, but the impact this had was probably planned, coordinated, and absolutely unjustified. This dominance of mainstream media shuts down any opposing views and represses anything that doesn't fit into its agenda, and this is more dangerous than a few sexist comments by Donald Trump. Media freedom is basically a joke, since you either write something positive and conforming to the establishment or will almost never have a story. On SNL really quick, I don't think it should be canceled. It's satire/comedy, and though it may influence views, it brings people happiness. Should it not be as political, maybe? Still, they have the freedom to express their views and the viewers have the freedom to either accept or reject the views. Honestly, I'd really like to see Trump win this election. I may not like his personality, nor do I believe all of his statements or views are appropriate, but for one, I don't believe he's controlled by a party. He's not a puppet of an ideology; he's an actual person. This means he can work with both parties and accomplish goals because he's technically got no strings attached (Especially after his party almost dumped him). Moreover, from my perspective, he's fighting against an entirely corrupt system and is promising to change that system. He's worked within it economically, and so he'd hypothetically be able to fix at as an "expert." Yes, this could backfire completely and he rigs it to benefit the wrong people, but it's unlikely since Congress has the wonderful ability of veto/impeachment if he's abusing power. But if he wins, it shows that it's entirely possible for someone who is not a politician to lead this country, and that is a real victory for democracy in my view. Also, I wanna know Mde if you read an article recently on the subject of the losing party having to be gracious losers as long as it was a fair race? Recently I read something like this, and while I agree with the premise that you should be gracious in a fair election; I don't believe and the article briefly states that if it were rigged, public complacency isn't necessarily good. Anyways, just wondering if that's party of where you got this post from.
