I upvote a lot, but I don’t always comment as much as I should. I often find that I may or may not have anything particularly new to add to the comments.

Good times.

Working from home with the fur child.

Checked my mother’s facebook and sure enough she’s concerned about it. If there’s one thing the elderly care about it’s their social security checks. She still doesn’t understand who is responsible though.

Depends on if you believe the eeveelutions are cats, but I suppose so.

The Japanese consider them to be good luck too I believe. They apparently do the exact opposite of what others believe, which is warding off evil spirits.

Perhaps. I’m related to a family of magats, and they love shopping in bulk. Many of their friends do too.

Many of them have this mindset that at some point everything in the world is going to break down and that they’re going to have to bunker down in their houses.

This is where my thoughts come from. I’ve never actually heard it correlated to the rapture itself though, but I figure that’s probably up there on the list.

It’d be pure irony if this isn’t a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they’re preparing for the apocalypse rapture. Costco and Sam’s are infested with them.

The irony is that reddit users would say the same about other people on other platforms.

I do this quite often with my void. He loves to stretch himself out and take two thirds of my desk chair. I just deal with it by taking up the remaining space and sharing it with him.

I haven’t had contact with my family for a while and I’m so much better for it.This Thanksgiving we slept in half the day, played music, napped some more and read.

Someone still protests occasionally regarding how I cut my family off, but she’s still too soft on conservatives. You have to understand that nothing you say will change their minds in most cases. If you could have changed them or made them see reason then you would have done so a long time ago. Yes they are misguided, yes the system is at fault for the creation of this cult, but there isn’t anything you can do either. Put your own mental health first.

My wife begged to go to family gatherings the first year we were together even though I told her exactly what they were like and insisted I would rather do anything else.

It only took one holiday season for her to understand, and we no longer have to tolerate this.

Don’t prove I’m right?

Nah, there was just an option to get the Professor’s rating at the computers based on your progress. It’s doesn’t really do anything, and the feature gets removed later on.

In later games you’d want to talk with the professor(s) directly for item rewards, and the little screen certificates you get for a full completed dex have always come from the fourth wall breaking gamefreak employees in the game.

In the show it already has most of the data, I don’t think it’s ever elaborated on there either. The pokedex can be used as a trainer id somehow.

In first handful of games it needs to be manually completed. Owning a pokedex is quite rare though so it’s not a crowdsourced task. Not entirely sure why it’s not. It’s made clear that the people with a pokedex at this time are favored by the professors. No connections or fateful encounters, no journey.

During the fifth generation I would say it had changed just based on the atmosphere in the first set of gen 5 games where it’s acknowledged that the professor works with parents to enable their children to go on journeys. In the following two games going on a journey really seems to become a rite of passage, compared to the first four where the player character is very fortunate to have the opportunity.

By generation 8 the pokedex is now a public application that can be put on your phone, meaning it’s probably crowdsourced at that point.

This is just what I’ve heard, but apparently 67 comes from a rap song called Doot Doot by Skrilla. The 67 is a reference to the 10-67 police code for a report of death.

Allegedly. I doubt the kids are saying it for any reason though.

Probably not. He seemed to take the initiative in life quite often.

Granted, given the circumstances around sexuality at the time he really had to be proactive.

I’d get it done and over with. I would resent myself forever, and accept any punishment for it, but it’s better than waiting to see if someone wants to decide to kill off half the world later on. Would be even easier if I could take the first persons spot on the tracks so there only has to be one messed up person rather than two.

Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.

1. I’m just tired right now.
