I'd only use a picture of myself if it were stylized a bit. I wouldn't take a low-res "just got out of bed after drooling all over my hair" selfie.

I more meant the idea of using a picture of yourself as an avatar

what's wrong with my hair though lmao, that's like the main criticism I get and also the only thing I like about myself

It looks kinda greasy, and the way you have it hanging over your eyes in some pictures looks pretty dorky.

For real, if you're gonna do this, take a nice picture from a nice angle and style it a bit--maybe do the black and white thing. Watch your expression, too--you always have this bug-eyed look of confusion/curiosity on your face, like you're trying to look cute, but it just ends up looking indescribably weird. I don't know, just take it more natural.

Lower the eyelids, try not to look directly into the camera.

Because their preferred policies and laws/way of life doesn't mix with the policies and ways of life in other locations.

Isn't that what federalism is for? Because I'm pretty sure that's what federalism is for.

I will admit that's a reasonable flaw that's been brought up, but keep in mind the EC wasn't always winner take all, and some states still don't have a winner take all system (Maine for example is split this year).

Well see, that's even more fucked up. Why are some states able to be split, but not all of them? If every state were able to split their ballot, we'd have some very different results.

Also Texas is a pretty bad example since it swung blue in 08 and 12.

We also had a choice between two carbon copy republicans in 2012.

2008 has an asterisk, because everyone was scared of McCain dying and Sarah Palin assuming office, and everyone was super excited over the prospect of having our first black president. McPalin's entire campaign was a complete joke.

Because they shouldn't dictate the entirety of the country.

Why the fuck not, though? That's what I'm asking you.

Explain, what about it is broke?

The fact that a republican vote in California means nothing, and a democratic vote in Texas means nothing.

The fact that not all votes count as much as each other.

Also everyone is losing their shit about the EC this year as if this has never happened before, it's happened four times beforehand and one time in all our lifetimes (the 2000 election).

Everyone lost their shit over the 2000 election too.

Isn't the whole point to prevent sprawling cities like New York and LA from swinging every election in their favour?

Seems pretty reasonable IMO.

Yeah, now we have fuckhead rural counties swinging the elections in their favor. Brilliant.

"electoral college is bad because it didn't turn out how i wanted it to a bloo bloo!!1one"

Fuck off. You'd be defending the electoral college until your dying breath if Hillary won and you know it.

No, I absolutely fucking wouldn't. I've hated the electoral college since the day I learned about it.

Nothing will ever satisfy this cunt. What exactly is a non sexualized female character according to her standards? An amorphous grey block?

I haven't even watched the video. I just love posting her videos here.

Are you sure she doesn't give SOME kind of explanation?

Maybe it's not her clothing, but her animations, or maybe how the camera treats her.

You're going to have to do a better job at articulating your point than "nuh uh, ur wrong". I just used those talking points exactly how liberals use them, but word swapped things important to liberals with things important to me.

Your whole point is that this:

Are you being intolerant? Diversity of ideas is our greatest strength. Stop liberalsplaining, I find that offensive.

...is an attempt at demonstrating how "irritating" these points are, and I'm explaining to you that it's not. Mostly because everything you'res saying is wrong--so why would I be bothered by it? Either way, that doesn't mean you're not allowed to make these arguments.

To answer your questions, I'm EXTREMELY intolerant of conservative ideology and I will continue to offend the fuck out of you.

No, what I showed by example is that when people use these progressive talking points against progressives, they tend to realize that it's infuriatingly annoying.

But it's not. If anything, it's facile and easy to manage, because liberals are the only ones who understand how those arguments actually work. ie. Not the way you think they do.

And just like others, you've failed to connect the dots that you're causing this yourself.

Trumpism is a religion of peace, anyone who disagrees is just Americaphobic, and should be given some sensitivity training.

The difference is that when liberals make these arguments, they're bolstering a sensible belief.

You're really quite horrible at this.

Defend this, Trump sycophants.

This is the new normal, anyone who disagrees is on the wrong side of history, we need to leave behind those archaic outdated notions of liberalism, I mean, it's 2016 after all, why are we still discussing this? I literally can't even comprehend why you'd disagree.

Wow, It's almost like thought terminating cliches are really fucking annoying to argue with.

I think you missed the point, rather adorably.

Cuntservatives are always ragging on liberals and SJWs for wanting to have "safe spaces," and here we have the current king of conservatives wanting to have safe spaces. A supposed champion for political incorrectness is crying like a little baby because he can't have his safe space to have his precious beliefs protected.

Fuck this guy.

Hamilton lost class points when I learned they singled out Pence who was in the audience and lectured him

Yeah, they should've just shot him instead.

"I can't understand picture books"

i can't understand it when you have a clusterfuck of shit all happening on a single page, with characters in weird fucking poses for no reason, haphazardly-placed amorphous objects, and uninterpretable motion lines all clashing together like you just carelessly spilled them all over the page

Soft G sounds audibly pleasing. Hard G sounds autistic.

t. autist

Sounds good, I'll probably pick it up fairly soon then.

How is the difficulty though?
XY/ORAS was mindnumbingly easy, I get why they wanted to make it less grindy but I don't think I ever got to a gym and went 'well fuck' during the battle. Maybe it's to do with knowing the games better than when I was younger but I think there was a lot of design choice that made it a piece of cake.

I wouldn't say mind-numbingly easy this go-around, but at this point, I've conditioned myself to make the games more challenging in my own ways. That said, I honestly had a couple "well shit" moments against some of the Totem Pokémon.

Just turn off the Exp. Share, avoid using Z-moves, and try using Pokémon you've never trained before. It also may not hurt to impose some kind of item restriction, but that's approaching nuzlocke territory.
