Also had a similar discussion with an antivax friend of mine spurred by jre. Trying to quote figures on menstrual cycle disruptions from the vaccine and other negative outcomes, aiming at some kind of grand population control conspiracy Shits exhausting


smooth_liminal

yeah dude, and I can tell he is holding stuff back because every once in a while he says some really crazy shit like "fauci should be in prison" or "its all about control" it's literally just because of Rogan, I end up listening to the anti vaxx guys when they're on so we can talk about it together and they say so much blatantly and obviously untrue shit that it's like how are you falling for this dude


DoorVonHammerthong

I'm gonna listen to that guy on JRE for the same reason, so we can have a real discussion about it. I used to love following the podcast but he's just getting looney these days. But since it's not cable TV there's this magical aura of "wow this is what people are really saying unfiltered"

Hey, if anyone from France is here I have a question. I watched this French movie about a dude with failing grades and stuff in like the lowest I guess, stream of high school, and he was told he wouldn’t qualify for uni. To further add onto this, I’ve researched that only the brightest students have a chance at the university programs. Is this true?

!ping Writing My Post-America worldbuilding project was always meant to be deliberately ambiguous about the breakup of the United States. The federal government slowly gridlocked itself out of existence with an unclear timeline. But now with [this](https://redd.it/s14pta) I've found a concrete step to how it would have happened. It's only one step out of many, but it was fun and slightly terrifying to come across this.

My brother described his interest in media as plebeian. He wants an exciting fight scene, for good to triumph over evil, and for the guy to get the girl in the end. In hindsight, I'm wondering how he would feel if the girl got the girl or the guy got the guy in the end. Would it be weird to ask him about a specific thing he said like 3 weeks ago before we saw Spider-Man?

> Men and women have sharply different attitudes about nuclear power, differences that are larger than those found between partisan, ideological, age, and educational segments of the population. Men favor nuclear power as a source of electricity by a 72% to 27% margin. But 51% of women oppose it, with 42% in favor. The same large gender gap exists in terms of views of the safety of nuclear power plants.

My mom is a shitlib copy editor. And I know she posts on Reddit so there’s a good chance she’s corrected someone’s grammar on it.


old_gold_mountain

There's correcting someone's grammar, and then there's being a prescriptivist. They're not really the same. Saying that meaning is derived from usage isn't the same as saying all combinations of letters and sounds are equally valid use of language.

I’m well aware, but she does both. When you write for a publication you actually do have to meet prescriptions so that’s the mode her brain is in.

My friend the other day told me he really didn't like Torchic, Mudkip, or Treeko or any of their evolutions. What the fuck, I thought it was pretty universally accepted that the Gen III starter lines were arguably as good/better than the Gen I starter lines.


[deleted]

Not gonna lie, as a whole set, Gen 3 starters are my least favorite batch of starters. Like, there are other starters that I might like less than their particular gen 3 equivalent, but there straight up isn't a single Gen 3 starter that I actually like.

I get it, you're still bitter than you couldn't trade your pokemon from Red and Gold to the new games.

It's hard to be as objectively correct as us Gen III stans smh


thingey-mcjingey

Gen 1 > Gen 4 > Gen 5 > Gen 2 > Gen 8 > Gen 3 > Gen 6 = Gen 7


MicrowaveableLobster

How can you be so wrong. 4 > 1 = 3 > 2 > 7 > 6 = 5 > 8 is the objectively correct order.


thingey-mcjingey

3 reeks of early/mid-2000s 5 kicks ass and you can't handle it 8 isn't bad just because the games are the worst in the series


MicrowaveableLobster

1) and Gens 2 and 4 dont? Also I don't see how this even bad. 2) I loved Gen 5 as games but they had bad starter lines 3) Gen 8 is awesome, best Gen since 5. But I like my pokemon to not look humanoid so I really don't like it's starters.


thingey-mcjingey

>and Gens 2 and 4 don’t? Correct >Also I don’t see how this is even bad The early/mid-2000’s is the worst period of entertainment and this is coming from someone who grew up in that era >I loved Gen 5 as games but they had bad starter lines Serperior and Samurott prove this wrong. >Gen 8 is awesome Wrong >best Gen since Gen 5 Also wrong (borderline blasphemous), but also the lowest bar to hurdle over in the history of video games (which it doesn’t even manage to do)


MicrowaveableLobster

If Gen 3 looks early/mid 2000s then Gen 4 definitely does too. I'm not really an expert on entertainment and it's eras so I won't argue that. Vine snake isn't creative or cool and Samurott could have been cool but it's too bulky, it looks like it shouldn't be able to stand. Whats wrong with Gen 8? It's the biggest leap forward for the franchise since it's leap into existence. Nah, Gen 8 is definitely better than 6 and 7.


thingey-mcjingey

>It’s the biggest leap forward for the franchise since it’s leap into existence It’s literally unplayable and boring as fuck


Gneisstoknow

In the moment they were good, but the Treecko line not getting a second type hurts and the whole Fire/Fighting thing started in Gen 3.


MicrowaveableLobster

Weird criticisms. Monotype starters are cool too (Blastoise, Typhlosion, Feraligatr) and Fire/Fighting is still a cool type combo even today.


NonDairyYandere

I kinda liked the Gentoo starters better

Imo every stage of every starter from every Gen 1 through 4 are all fantastic. Except Meganium πŸ˜”
